I have serious doubts about this being true.

Feel free to post proof and prove me wrong.

Well the source code is available, not like people can't check this crap themselves..

Correction, I forgot I sent my .3 BTC the other day to my buddy. I have no reason to believe YaCoin is stealing either. If anyone has proof, it would be much appreciated before I continue with yacoin.

Cannot show the whole list, as it won't fit my screen, but I've checked all entries, and the ONLY wallet.dat Yacoin accesses, is the one it's supposed to access (Yacoin's wallet.dat). I have NOT seen it access Bitcoin's wallet.dat

Based on the evidence presented so far it looks like there may indeed have been a trojan included in one of the miner applications.  I haven't seen anything suspicious happening on my system and have been working through the released win32 binary in IDA pro.  That said, my personal investigation is far from over, so regardless of what precompiled binaries you download, be careful.  The same is true of anything, not just altcoins.

[EDIT] I was unclear.  I mean that I have not seen anything suspicious in the YaCoin application itself.  I have not investigated the miner apps at all.

Iam using Yacoin wallet since beginning, no coins were stolen so far. I doubt that the original download -qt wallet steals coins. U shouldnt download reupped wallets!
