Why not? He is maybe a pirate without ship and he just wants to buy one with other people's BTC. :D

I think he already stole accounts by created earlier copy/paste threads with trojans. I saw 3-4 times threads with copy/paste info (even with not ended countdown) and link with trojan.

Idk about that, but I think it will be good idea to form something like Altcoin Police (opposite to CryptoAsian's PoD (which several times proved that is not working)). People who launch coins will be reviewed (who they are, source code etc..) by respected members and then they will have the chance to post new thread. If not - mods will delete their announcement. It can be done really easy imo...

Indeed, shame that virus posts are not removed. Also, the trust of the users "providing" such wallets should suffer.

But there's good news too: now there are 3 threads advertising - more or less - the new coin  ;D
Shame I'm not really sober right now, else I would have tried a translation too.

This is the reason  why I don't download any altcoin wallets, period. One can never know what they are hiding inside it.

Posts with viruses are a lot funnier than posts with just animated gifs.  :P
