A Bitcoin specific video tutorial on how to confirm the Integrity and Authenticity of binaries and then compile them into a working program for windows would make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
That's a good suggestion. IMO it is generally better to have video walkthroughs than just written guides. This applies to both building Bitcoin from source and verifying the authenticity of the download. It would really be helpful if someone created one (I do wonder why nobody did do that so far?).
Bonus points if you can find a perky enthusiastic middle aged girl to do it
You're asking for too much.
Dose the Bitcoin community have its own intelligence arm now? Do we have our own spies informants? If so thats really cool.
We do, the BSA - Bitcoin Security Agency.
2 days later, 3 pages later and there is still no clue as to what this threat may be and how to cut this issue from the root up.
I guess the information is there, but it isn't public. I do recall reading on IRC that maxwell talked to cobra.
