looks like i've accidentally revealed that this project is actually dead lol
No one would bother to hack into a dead Github project.
This is just moving slow, like so many other solid projects out there.

The MintCoin-Qt.exe wallet version 2.0.2 from the .zip downloaded today from the page one announcement in this thread:

It's not dead, the last dev update was Oct 4 although they're not easy to find since they are not in the MintcoinCommunity GitHub but instead in shane-kerr's GitHub. Not sure why he doesn't add that repo to the MintcoinCommunity GitHub for all to see.

you guys should report the issue on the MintCoinCommunity github (https://github.com/MintcoinCommunity/Mintcoin-Desktop-Wallet/issues). This way you can be sure that the devs will see the issue and hopefully resolve it as quickly as possible.
i will try report and check if them available~

Thanks for reporting it, hopefully one of the devs will get it fixed sooner than later.

OK, issue one, some of the confusion is that v2.0.2 (from 2016?) on page one of this thread is old and scans as a threat, not necessarily a valid threat, possibly bitcoin miner type hits. A version that should NOT be linked in the opening post on the official thread for Mintcoin. Regardless, the 2.0.2 is not the issue at hand.
Next issue, two, the links posted going back the last 5 or so posts for (MintCoin-2.1.0-win32.zip) has a MintCoin-Qt.exe that was updated on github on October 28, 2018 with an incorrect size file of 8,428,482 which is likely a virus. This repository should be taken down immediately (if possible).
Many thanks to desynct for catching this.
Housekeeping note; I'm editing all links I posted recently to the corrupted file and "killing" the link for security purposes, but otherwise leaving it intact to cut down on future confusion.

I'd say stick with the 2.1.0-beta1 release then. I've been running it for months with no issues (not sure what changed between beta1 and non-beta release) and it seems to be clean.

desynct,
YOU ARE RIGHT - the github qt for 2.1.0 has been corrupted.
The scans I performed must have been useless because the wallet is encrypted. I should have tested further by executing the wallet in an offline VM. I just wasn't motivated enough to look deeper.
Nice work by the way catching this!!
Something like this can kill a coin if not taken care of quickly.

What exactly to you mean by corrupted?
Is the 2.1.0 wallet currently available infected with some kind of malware?
Luckily, I'm running the 22,353,920 bytes file :-)

Where are you guys getting your download links from? Yours is different than the one I posted above... Take at look at the URLs:

Nevermind, I see the link I posted is for the beta1, didn't realize there was a newer non-beta one.
