Why don't you add the direct download links in the description? I don't think people are interested in this coin because it looks shady.

What about KGW and it's exploits?

Are you not a dev?

Other than those concerns, the logo is A+.

FYI, announcements regarding CandyCoin happen on our website (https://www.candyco.in) and are posted to Twitter (https://twitter.com/eatsweetmoney) and Reddit (http://www.reddit.com/r/eatsweetmoney/). We try and check on this forum when we can, but in the meantime we're busy working hard promoting CandyCoin =)

We have just released an updated CandyCoin wallet known as the Gummi edition to address the Heartbleed vulnerability found in recent versions of OpenSSL.
(see: https://bitcoin.org/en/alert/2014-04-11-heartbleed)

This is a mandatory upgrade and users are encouraged to back up their current wallets and upgrade to the Gummi edition. Along with an update to address the Heartbleed situation, we have adapted the Kimoto Gravity Well (with timewarp patch) to start at block 100k instead of block 400k.

This coin is only worth it if it's truly backed by candy. I'd trade my coins in for chocolate bars.

In reality, it's backed by an image of a candy logo and a name. It's not as sweet a deal.

It's a good idea  I'll bring it up with the other foundation members.
