[ANN] Cloudcoin is a Scam, do not use

[tadakaluri]

OMG....... This is VIRUS.  Don't try to run it.

Seriously?

Yes, My AVAST shows this is TROJAN

I'm assuming the qt right? That's probably because it's not complete yet. The file the OP gave is going to download the full file once the coin releases.

Even so there is an Trojan, as per AVAST

Pure Fud. Enjoy your meaningless life.

I am not defend the release...... I just warn people for their benefit.

If any one wish to run Trojan, go ahead.

I don't know if the software is malware or legit, haven't tested it myself.
However, people should really be concerned about running software from unknown sources.

I have seen some altcoin launched this way and people are running the software blindly so this works for the launch, but again, we should not encourage this methodology.

IMHO, you should place the idea and some code to review, this will generate debate and possibly improvements to the original code and at the same time will show the effort put in it.

I really like your idea and if it works it will surely have a place among the recent altcoins.
But I will not run your exes  


People should read this post by Gavin Andersen and apply his methodology :

This trojan seems to be a specific trojan from a few years back:

Moreover, this messaging idea has been mentioned twice:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=220530.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=226582.0

It could be a good idea on paper to weaken your guard.  You know, kind of like all these recent altcoins have been doing.  Although I admit a few have some genuine web projects up and running.  Just use caution, people...

Hmmm my scans are still showing nothing. Let me dig for a while here. Sorry If I was wrong. Not a word from kaspersky or virustotal over here

[cryptohunter]

someone with internets skills  please .... is it a virus or not??

[TheSpiral]

someone with internets skills  please .... is it a virus or not??

No.

[cryptohunter]

someone with internets skills  please .... is it a virus or not??

No.

ok thanks, that's 1 NO then.


What's causing these false positives then?  has it some inbuilt mining prog?

[digitalindustry]

interesting idea, not touching it:

1. SHA256 = dead.

2. Too many BTC dudes loving it. <see point 1.

will be good to watch , see if someone copies it with sCrypt or improves it.

Windows Security Essentials reports it as a virus too not that I know it is but starting to looking odd.

[ervalvola]

If it's not a virus, it's VERY interesting!
Been thinking at something like this for loooong time!

[Boing7898]

We're near the launch and still no news from the developers..

[tytanick]

hmm, no git commits at launch,
meaby developer was killed ?

[dellstreakone]

he's sleeping  no launch today

[Boing7898]

Great way to release a coin 

[Hydroponica]

SHA256

So, 1 bored asshole, with an ASCI, can fuckup the entire network, in an hour, correct?
