McAfee.

OK.  It's a false positive, but I don't have McAfee to see why its reporting that. Does anyone else have McAfee and can post their result?

A false positive? I don't think so.

My antivirus has deleted the QT file, it says it contains a Trojan. It even tells me the name of it.

This has never happened before with any wallet I've used, even ones that throw up false positives on virustotal.

SO exactly what was the virus it claimed it was? Looking at what you posted there is nothing online... think this is FUD

Just for you. https://www.dropbox.com/s/vy8faro0e6mshrq/Screenshot%202014-06-23%2000.47.22.png

Artemis is just the name of McAfee's heuristic component, not a virus.

"Artemis (or McAfee 'Global Threat Intelligence' technology) is the enhanced heuristic detection component of McAfee SecurityCenter's virus protection module."

And McAfee's Artemis regularly produces false positives:

Something very strange just happened. My antivirus software has just quarantined my Talkcoin wallet, in other words removed it. I must have nearly 50 wallets on this computer, never had a problem like this before, and yes, I know antivirus software can see wallets as a threat that could contain a Trojan. This was different, I've been running this wallet for 10 days, and all of a sudden it gives me a warning it has found a Trojan, and requires a shutdown.

This is what it said it found:  Artemis!6AF36822F69C

Just a heads up.

Edit: Antivirus flags the windows wallet link as risky now.

Hi. What is your antivirus software?

Hi

Messages are unicode, fee structure is just 2 prices for plaintext or bold. Chat messages are stored in the blockchain so yes a website can read these, but no one has done this yet as far as I know.


On DwarfChain are shown last 20 chat messages: http://tac.dwarfchain.com/chains

chatting cost need to change. More people will chat if it only cost 0.01 TAC
+1
1 TAC for message too much. At least 0.1 TAC.

Hopefully, we'll all change that once the voting for the cost is implemented.

We decided not to implement voting for chat cost in the next release.

Instead, costs will be set to:

Chat: 0.1 TAC Bold: 1 TAC
Vote: 2 TAC

Excellent work!!!

I would suggest some way to prevent vote manipulation. 2 TAC per vote might make it more enticing for people attempting to alter the reward for their supposed benefit.

IP logging to prevent multiple wallets can't be done due to the anonymous nature of the coin plus TOR is already doable.

I haven't thought on it long but there must be a way to make it not worth the effort.

Again, great work and can't wait for the update.

OK... i d/l and tried Talkcoin chat.
neat...

I have a few newbie questions if anyone can drop a link/answer. Smiley

1. eli5 the voting.
2. how many chars can be sent per message?
3. are chars sent in unicode?
4. is there a web interface presenting the chat log?
5. is there a 'fee structure' per message/ message length/ emoticons/ links/ hyperlinks/ other?
6. when sending a message, where do the coins go to? are they burned? go into a fund? other

thnx

Hi

About funds from messages / voting, they will be removed from circulation (sent to first genesis block TpmfuGrjvgn43GoR8MRV3UKfPEZBrsBVGN, the genesis block coinbase is not spendable).  This will be a good means to increase the velocity of circulation of money with TAC continuously created and destroyed.
