Seriously, it there any evidence the code source contains malware?

Nope. Me and many others have ran this thing though many types of malware detectors and not found anything. So unless the person who put the "supposed" malware is just awesome and has come up with something not detectable not by just one, but many programs....or there was none.

Is it possible that there might be something in it? Sure. Nothing is 100%.... BUT....odds are that there is not.

Nothing I have seen, except for the FUD thrown around by everyone trying to look out for themselves. Reminds me of political commercials right before an election. "Sure I might be an evil corporate crony bastard, but my opponent is far worse than me. You better vote for me as you will be far worse off with him." No mention of merits of their own coins, value, what makes it unique, etc., only trash talking of the competition. Seems the OP had no problem promoting other coins if you review his post history, just to cast further suspicion on his baseless accusation.

Nope. Just FUD being spread because the OP missed out on being an early adopter or whatever.

The dev actually cares about the project going by his posts here, so I wish him the best of luck.

Fair enough then Tongue

Was just a bit surprised with the size of the precompiled binary

While I'm not sure about what will happen with yet another cryptocoin (pun intended) good luck with your venture

The pre-compiled binary size of franko-qt (21,661 KB) is about the same size as the litecoin-qt binary (21,518 KB).

If you are comparing the franko-qt size with some of the other alts, say feathercoin-qt at 8,046 KB, for instance, please notice that those coins keep the dynamic link libraries (DLLs) separate from the executable. If you add in the 13,000 KB from the DLLs, you end up at about the same 21,000 KB size. The author just decided to compile everything into the binary instead of having external dependencies.

JAJAJAJ 21mb jajajaja Shhhh newbies---

And your point is? I expressed the file sizes in KB to better compare the differences, if that is your intention. Either way it is still a valid comparison. As was mentioned earlier, none of this means the code is completely safe, but just jumping to conclusions based upon a perceived larger file size, which as I showed above is not necessarily the case, is what I would consider newbish.

Most of this FUD is "I missed the train" or "I have a vested interest elsewhere", so rather than make valid arguments it is easier to post nonsense comments such as this, or worse to outright make false accusations every time something comes out you don't agree with. Especially coming from these 11 post members, which I suspect may be just alt accounts of some of the FUD masters.

I really think there should be rules in place that stop public lies like this without sufficient evidence its jeopardises the stability of the coin and puts off new adaptors.

I agree with you on this, it appears he was pretty excited about YAC going on BTC-e: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/yac-will-be-on-btc-e-confirmed-202594

As much as i believe the op is a troll, I am here to educate people. You're only partially right about the file size.
file size comparison means absolutely... nothing.... a malware/trojan can be made extremely small or even the same size of the original file.

This is very true, I did not mean to imply that it is totally safe just because of that analysis. I was just pointing out there is a logical explanation for what would appear to be roughly a 3x as big file size compared to some of the other binaries. While it does not guarantee it to be malware free, it does offer one possibility as to its size. Always treat these executables with extreme caution.

? It's about the same size as bitcoin-qt. If you mean the zip itself, that's because he included source files and an installer instead of just the standalone exe.

That is why.

It has literally everything in that zip file. So incase you didnt trust my compilations you could compile them yourself.

That zip contains,

Source
Setup
and precompiled QT and Daemon.

The guy is actually doing the right thing to build some confidence...but u noobs just dont get it do u

Personally wouldn't know of bitcoin-qt, as I perfer Blockchain's MyWallet.
Yes, I'm referring to franko-qt
