Maybe I'm paranoic, but using this type of closed sources utilities targeted to bitcoin are high-risk business for me. There is no reason to _not_ show the code, except it is doing something nasty or you're shy for your codebase.
Please don't take it personally, but:
1) You offering simple tool which does almost nothing except downloading one or two json files from the net.
2) This tool have full access to computers with (probably) thousands of bitcoins.
2) You are absolutely unknown entity for us.
3) You're refusing to show sources for no obvious reason (is there anything valuable in the sources?) and explaining that as "MS/Apple are also closed source"
Maybe you're just shy for your codebase, which I understand, but maybe you're just another script kiddie who want to 'earn' bitcoins easily. Who knows?

I know.
I don't need a reason to protect my work, even if it's as simple as laying information out in a different way.
This application does NOT need admin rights on any OS. There fore it cannot utilize any port access, or send any data. For Windows, specifically windows 7 which this program was designed for, it can do nothign but pull data TO the client program. This application might not even work on XP, and maybe vista which is even more secure in terms of permissions than win7.
I know I don't have much people to vouch for me besides noagendamarket but I am going to tell you again, I don't have any malicious intention.
If this community is going to do nothing but bash people before getting anywhere, you'll be stuck.
Okay, so say this IS a virus, or it DOES steal your wallet.dat from wherever the hell it is on your computer. Yet you still trust it enough to run it, but don't trust what it'd do. A wise choice would be to run it in a sandbox, or wrap it with a vm sandbox and then run it. It would then do absolutely no damage, or harm to the host of the sandbox. Ofcourse, why would anyone here do that? You all just want open source, and don't care for closed source.
If you didn't realize by now. Software that is open source, gets no proper support, gets a gross development cycle and has no final version when multiple people are screwing with it. Whatever your defense is for making open source software has no ideal effect on what I actually develop. It's a different ballgame and Open source clearly loses to closed source. I designed this program for the END USER. Not another developer. So that's it. Enough of this open source discussion. It's not going to happen. Use this program, or don't. I don't need a big reps support.
