Anyone can compile from the source code. If the source code is given, I feel safe. Why they want to put a logger there? I think their propose is to hype the coin and get something there. If you don't feel secure using the executables they provide, then just compile yourself.

Agreed. But my feeling is that when someone claims that there is a virus, etc in a piece of software it should be investigated. Otherwise, those who are evil minded will notice no one cares and put one in at one point knowing that no one will care until it's too late. The people who can't compile will get infected... which would not be good.

Update on the Logger:

Quote from: AlphaColt on May 03, 2013, 04:49:24 PM

This is how i found out.

For windows, download http://www.zemana.com and open the wallet. I let it run a but then I got a notification.. Just saying, all other wallets don't pop up a notification but this one. I could be wrong, but i'd rather throw a warning then let's innocent people be a victim.

Also VMbox has the ability to disable host to VM clipboard sharing. https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=32446

This was posted in the Newb forum by the OP. I downloaded the software and got no warning on the wallet that was installed before I installed the software.

I downloaded a new version of the Chinacoin wallet and re-installed the software. Again, got no warning from the antilogger software. I did get the firewall warning (which I always get). If someone else wants to download it and confirm my findings... Unless it's something that the developer turns off and on and it happened to be on when the OP ran the program.

Oh, also... there is a warning that comes up when you copy an address from the receive coin tab, but that would be normal.

I think I'm actually going to use the free version - there a two versions free and trial - the free version scrambles the clipboard which could be a useful feature to have.

Just an update.

I just had a thought - if the dev is from China creating a crypto may be highly illegal there - hence his anonymity and not willing to post to the forum too often. Just a thought I had that makes sense.

Never considered that. Now there is some logic to it.

I thought about that last night also.

I'm sure you'll find like 1000 more excuses for him or anything else that might negatively affect your CNC stockpile.

That's ironic considering I'm the one that mentioned this issue with possible clipboard logger in the CNC thread. I was genuinely wondering why he may be unwilling to engage with the community at this point.

That dude is a troll, just ignore him. Grin

COMPLETE FUD

Code:

void SendCoinsEntry::on_pasteButton_clicked()
{
    // Paste text from clipboard into recipient field
    ui->payTo->setText(QApplication::clipboard()->text());
}

Is in EVERY COIN'S QT CODE.

In the module:

/src/qt/sendcoinsentry.cpp

Someone translate this??

It's to copy the decrypted QR Code to the clipboard.

I guess I could have been more eloquent about how I posted where the "clipboard" warning was coming from.

I was just a bit irritated with some of the attitudes after launch about the coin, before anybody even looked at the code.

This post came up and I knew what part of the code he/she was referring. It seemed to me, because the coin is Chinese based, the op starts raising red flags when every coin here contains the same handler code.

It is default code apparently. It's event handler code. When the paste button is clicked the text that is stored on the clipboard is used in the payTo field.

The thing is the account that made the announcement has 2 posts - so it is just as likely FUD. You never know though.

I agree that it's most likely BS. Especially when they said "Someone please post topics on this ASAP!!". If someone is legit about protecting people they wouldn't type it that way. Though, I see no posts from the creator saying... "there is nothing wrong" which kinda scares me a little. You would think he would be online putting down rumors.

The scary thing is he isn't online at all and has a grand total of 7 posts. I've sent him PM's and no reply. So ether way not impressed with this coin. I've saved my wallet.dat with 10K CNC just in case - and that's it.

I've been using an API Monitor and have yet to see anything suspicious. I encourage others to do the same.

I suspect this guy just wants to drive down CNC price with bogus claims.
