[HLC] HellasCoin - English thread - Trojan in official wallet? false+ FIXED

[Kisokos]

Was just looking at this coin picking up volume on CCex : https://c-cex.com/?p=hlc-btc

At first glance, seems like a promising altcoin to mine at the moment - yet there's nothing on the forum I could find, at least not in one of the languages I can understand

So I'm fishing for the opinions of more experienced members. The website is here: http://www.grcoin.gr/en/  (lose the /en for greek version)

HEADS UP - I just downloaded the official windows wallet, and it seems to have a trojan in it according to virustotal:

Now I don't dare to start the linux binary... anyone knows about source location for it so I could take a look?

Kisokos I use the wallet and I confirm that it's clear..

Even if the windows binary would contain a trojan if you pull it down from github and compile it for yourself that Linux binary should be reasonably safe.

We just fixed the code which lead to false positive . Not the virus analysis shows a variant of BitCoinMiner as Litecoin does too .

Feel free to report us anything! Thanks again for the report of this issue !

Thanks for this! Great work!
Yes the hits I was worried about were the trojan ones - of course it's OK if it's a miner

Yep, and mainly that I can read the source.

Not that I necessarily have the patience to go through it line by line all the time
