Not everyone on this forum has good intentions. A bunch of people lost their bitcoins and dogecoins to this scam: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=414048.0

Now another obviously malicious file is being spread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=416325.0

Shitcoins are currently the flavor of the month after the big success of dogecoin. They are popping up left and right and while some can be legit, most are pump and dump schemes or even worse have wallets with trojans or other type of malicious code in them. Be careful what you download. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.

The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.
