Peseta coin has had a few bumps.

The original dev went out to get some smoke and hasn't been seen since.

The website has a Firefox death warning.

The wallet has some kind of toxic thing that alerts antiviruses, even if you manage to download it past the security settings of your browser.

Aside from that it is a good coin with a fair history and a lot of people involved with it.

So the question is, How might a person find someone who could simply
a) open up the wallet with some kind of code editing tool,
b) remove the toxic part, which is named and identified already I believe, not anything especially malicious but something that antivirus programs don't like
c) close up the wallet and provide it to users unchanged except for the cleaning
d) provide a step by step so that anybody could download the same code editing tool and replicate the process
e) or if it (the fix) is not something easily replicated then is there a public dev, known and with a history, who would be willing to do that for a bounty?

Ideally it would be some solution like
"I'll do it for x qty of btc or Pesetacoin, then fix it and provide the following "proof of harmless fix":
1) Download http://download.cnet.com/HxD-Hex-Editor/3000-2352_4-10891068.html (or whatever)
2) Go to page x line y of code (or whatever)
3) Delete z
4) Close wallet
5) Any person now has an identical wallet to the repaired one."

Trying to sort of hire a dev for a brief project to fix the wallet.

I am intellectually unable to code or I would do it.

I still have Jackpotcoin's LOL
The coin drifted off getting unpopular and then it got delisted and the dev did not want to support it anymore.
The dev posted he is willing to transfer the coin over to someone else to keep it going though.
No one was interested.

So when i seen your topic here i thought ya fat chance no one is going to step up.. unless you pay them !

No clue about your coin but good luck.. these things happen.

Oh and unless you already know C/C++ you will probably have a really hard time.
So hire a coder or forget it is my advice.
