Where is the source code?
After a little research, I'm supposing that I would classify it as Freeware, not Open Source. This is my very first attempt ever to create any type of program. The Code is sloppy, but effective.
I can see where this not being Open Source would be a large issue amongst the Cryptocurrency community given their inherent suspicious nature and extreme need for anonymity. Funny thing is, on the "
real" ForEx markets, they tend to trust the application developers and that they aren't secretly keeping a backdoor into their published app or maybe trying to spread malware or steal their account info or any other nefarious something . However, I do understand these concerns as legitimate when it comes to the Frontier of emerging technologies.
And before reading further, a friendly
REMINDER: one of the fundamental philosophies behind Bitcoin is TRUST. We all Trust that "Satoshi Nakamoto" will not mess with the Blockchain Code, steal funds at random, or possibly send a kill code to delete the entire Blockchain. And this holds true for ALL cryptocurrencies.
That said...... Just like Meta Trader 4, Swordfish, Adobe, Microsoft, Bethesda, EA Games, Sony Entertainment, Valve, and so on, and on, and on.... I'm not going to share my code with anyone, unless they either work for me OR are willing to sign a Legally Binding Non-Disclosure Agreement. In the mean time, I will just have to let the product speak for itself, and word of mouth will be my best advertisement. Everyone's gotta start somewhere. After enough people have used CryptoConnect for long enough, then they gain confidence in my products and I will have built a reputation for honesty and integrity... Therefore,
it's in my best interest to have integrity and be honest.
With that in mind, I am glad that this app I made is only of limited use. It only retrieves information, prints it to Excel, and loses the API Keys each time.... As for Contact Info... The actual Download is from my personal Google Drive, so my personal email isn't hidden nor is my real identity, which is plainly visible in the lower right corner of the app window. People can download it if they want, or not.
When I come out with v2.0 and other products, I may be able to actually learn how to implement hella better security features, and maybe Product Keys so that I can sell them directly. At least that's the plan.
So, in summation: "CryptoConnect(Beta) is Freeware/Shareware, released As-Is, and the Developer (meaning me) is Held Harmless and Indemnified. In the event of a Bug, please leave a comment at the Download page." ....or here in this thread.
