Very generous donation from someone! Has the mooncoin wallet trojan been verified? Makes me a bit uneasy reading that, but I know people scream virus on almost any wallet released (mainly due to false flags).

i was around for the mooncoin launch. there was a trojan in one mooncoin wallet, not a virus.

Do we know which wallet version this was?

it wasn't a version; it was a 'compiled' 'wallet' posted by a user in the mooncoin thread during the initial-mine chaos that a few people installed and turned out to have a trojan in it. IIRC it was off a mega file link.

ever since, i've only installed wallets in discrete VM, compiled my own where possible, and lately i haven't even bothered mining new coins because the risk of a trojan outweighed the possible profit from a new coin. whenever someone has their coins stolen and posts one of these threads, usually they have a dozen or more different wallets installed on the same machine. After seeing so many people burned, it just doesn't make sense for me to take the risk.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated. Yeah best to play it safe for sure.
