Title: Easy Bitcoin Wallet Installer Post by: 1lj4z1 on December 13, 2013, 08:42:32 PM Hello there, I wrote an App for Ubuntu, called Easy Bitcoin Installer and I thought you might want to check it out. If you are interested.
Easy Bitcoin Wallet Installer is an App for newbies. It helps you install any Bitcoin Wallet on your Ubuntu installation. http://aldo.io/ebwi/ Title: Re: Easy Bitcoin Wallet Installer Post by: qwk on December 13, 2013, 09:33:47 PM Who tells us it doesn't install a wallet-stealer? ::)

That is the source that he posted (though not the source to what the OP posted). First he uses wget to download the compressed archive of bitcoin-qt from the official sourceforge project. Then he uses tar to uncompress the file and expand the archive. The third line runs bitcoin-qt.

Its just how you would naturally install the client from the command line in unix. But sure, no source code required for that one as its crystal clear its not doing anything naughty :) Title: Re: Easy Bitcoin Wallet Installer Post by: 1lj4z1 on December 14, 2013, 04:21:14 PM Guys in the first post I made there is a link that sends you to the GitHub page and the source code.

That's why you should be paranoid, or preferably not use Windows 7 :) One must maintain many operating systems. Admit it, you've got one of each too don't ya. Win7 + not being silly has been ok with security. I have to keep win7 on my computer issued to me, but I've liked it a lot. The command line is not useful for me with my level of skill however, for this linux is king.

Linux is much better securitywise, believe .... the community. Title: Re: Easy Bitcoin Wallet Installer Post by: PenAndPaper on December 16, 2013, 12:13:17 PM I wonder why people think that everything that's open source is safe even if they can't read a single line of code :P
Obviously that's not the case here since it's just a script not really a program :P Title: Re: Easy Bitcoin Wallet Installer Post by: empoweoqwj on December 16, 2013, 12:22:20 PM I wonder why people think that everything that's open source is safe even if they can't read a single line of code :P Obviously that's not the case here since it's just a script not really a program :P Its safer because even if you can't read a piece of the code, "the community" can. Sure, its not perfect. but it sure beats the malware that Skype and Microsoft knock up behind closed doors. Ask them to release their soure code.

Sure, its not perfect. but it sure beats the malware that Skype and Microsoft knock up behind closed doors. Ask them to release their soure code. I do trust what the community says. When I mentioned windows I was comparing it to my experience on previous windows platforms. I don't know if there is a keylogger running on my windows machine, its true. Just a comment on the massive change that win7 was. Pretty much no bologna that is visible so far... this isn't really a comment about bitcoin security anymore. Older windows systems were virus town. |
