Will the source for the wallet be released anytime soon? I can't run the compiled ubuntu binary as it appears to be compiled for 32bit arch. And it does appear a bit fishy that no source is provided, what do you have to hide after all? It's just a bitcoin-qt fork.

The 32-bit binary should run on ubuntu machines, have you used the wrapper? The source was decided to be closed by the community to prevent cheating by adding in proxy options (dev team didn't decide this).

I don't have 32bit compat mode enabled on my kernel for security reasons, I'm one of those technically skilled tinfoil hats. Care to elaborate 'cheating by adding in proxy options'? If you mean running more than one wallet per person to cheat the faucet distribution system then it's really contra-productive since I can run as many instances as I want of the wallet via tor and you will never tell the difference so it defeats the whole purpose to hold on to the code. Don't get me wrong I like the idea of this coin and the binaries are probably harmless but in theory they could be running something malicious and without debugging/sniffing packets nobody could tell, with full source code on the other hand such a feat is next to impossible. So in interest of gaining trust with the dev team my opinion is to release the code and figure something better to prevent cheating as it really doesn't stop people to run more than one wallet per IP/machine/whatever.

And after all it's almost 2015 who the hell runs 32bit linux boxes?

64 bit ubuntu build, care to test? I will discuss release of source code with the team, but I don't believe the community will agree.

Will do, thank you very much. If I can demonstrate that I can run more than one wallet via different proxies the community would have to agree as their reason for keeping the source code private is without merit.
