To start off we are giving away 1 FIRE per reply. Just post address.

wow ::)

1.9 Mb ? Seems a little small...

so whats new in that

Take a look at the build process to see how we have minified the file size.

The link to the sources is not available.

zip file has sources.

there is no source in that file, contains ->

13655.dat
915207.dat
987324.dat
Autoit3.701272.exe
run.vbs
settings.ini

Wow who has bought their GPU rig.. Blocks are being mined like a wildfire right now!

Yeah, some dodgy executable. No thanks.

all by you we think  :-*

12 peers!

How do you mine this coin?

yeah, i won't be running this script thanks.

You don't unless you want to install a virus.

Any litecoin miner works.

No virus

Really. Is that why you've also started a Batcoin thread too in which you state that you don't even know how to build a binary?  ::)

Have you realized I just learnt how?

Amazing. And in just 1 hour too.

Maybe you could learn to post the source code without an executable in sight within the same timeframe. you're obviously a quick learner.

There already is a firecoin. Fail

Yeah, so?

Is there any pool for this?

Just need to solo mine for now.

This is AutoIT malware. Do not download. Source script is encrypted. Running this will probably dump your bitcoin wallets or install a keylogger.

How much think you have to be to run an exe from such a source?

He claims to be open source but it isn't, then pretends nothing happened. He says he just learned how to create an executable. He choose for his "currency" a name which was already taken. Obviously when asked what's new about his "coin" he didn't answer (because there's nothing new). edit: isn't even able to static link his exe.

Almost every alt-currency is crap, and honestly this is BY FAR the crappiest I've found.

I understand the OP might be either delusional of fraudulent, but how on Earth is anyone playing with his potentially dangerous toy? Don't you stop to think, sometimes?

Oh you need dependencies to run this coin, grab qt files from another coin

Warning added.

The source file is not an .ZIP, it is a self-extracting RAR file that installs a rootkit that hides the actual files contained in the self-extracting RAR file.

You don't definitely want to run this thing.

Virustotal doesn't detect this as any known virus yet.

linux users how far?

you're complaining he didn't bother to build a rootkit for linux too?

srsly?

I swear there was already a firecoin. So many new coins, too little names!

sometimes FUD spreads fast.

Come on ... Give us a break !

Wasn't there a FireCoin around here? Remember Nolo fervently trying to promote it.

really? Autoit + a .vbs.

seems legit  :-*

Everyone knows numerically named files are 10000% safe.

Banned for deleting warning and distributing possible virus.

YOLO

its an obvious virus with only one file and it's a .exe and why would you leave a thread up with links in it if their is a virus

Talk about half assing it

WTS 1000 firecoins to buy antivirus  ;D

I'll trade you 1000 Batcoins for those  :P

Meh, I'm not everywhere.

you seem to be here now.. and it's still up

The source file executable install itself under C:\Users\<username>\GUCUE directory. This directory looks empty if the malware process is running and hiding the files. However, the contents listed earlier are still in that directory.

Where did you see it up?

https://mega.co.nz/#!cEYwGCIb!dRZK6Cjy [VIRUS-WARNING] N1j-1xsTNMcnWi5GZAQGsoxQlvwKd2aFtXI

The warning is added - it's not our fault if someone still downloads and runs it.

nice efficient, hehehe if you want something to mine https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=226903.0  ;D

So, that's the second virus, in a couple days...Are we ready to stop jumping on every shit coin, that gets released? Probably not ::)

Actually the files are only marked as system / hidden, not hidden with any rootkit. It also installs a file C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\notepad.exe , which tries to run a .Net framework installer that is trying to install something to the system.

The file owner needs to be changed before that file can be deleted.
