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

Moreover, this messaging idea has been mentioned twice:

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...

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 :

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

looking forward to this coin - clearly defined purpose at the get-go and a generous prerelease time

Post proof. Probably a false positive. Source is available.
Get proof before flaming a release

BEWARE NEVER RELEASED, REPORTS OF TROJANS, DO NOT DOWNLOAD!
Likely just a way to spread his new wallet stealer

The network rapidly adapts to hashing power changes, and the difficulty automatically decreases if there's no block mined in the past 5 minutes. This also reduces block timing variance.
Nice! That's a really good idea actually. Has that been done before?

.conf information please?
It's so that I can serve you the testnet binaries. When you use an alt coin, you reveal your IP addresses to all other peers anyways.
Cool, I'm down for some beta teating, I'll pm you. What is your pow?
Currently I am only giving beta access to very established users, I'd rather avoid a leak.
You're not afraid of someone with an ASIC raping your coin like they did to Terracoin? Or have you found a way to combat this? Don't get me wrong, this sounds like an awesome idea
Interesting concept.
