Why not open source and get some help from other coders?
I'm coding in Delphi, because this is what I did for years, so I'm good at it and I use commercial 3rd party components, so I can't distribute the complete source code anyway and anyone who would want to compile the source would need to spend roundabout 2000 US$ on these components.
I understand that publishing a client that is closed-source is a bit of a trust problem once the client asks for your secrets. While the same is true for other closed-source applications and generally accepted (input dialog in browsers, NRS itself, NXT core, OS), I would still like to raise the trust level in my client.
I can not release the full source code due to commercial 3rd party components that I use and thus, nobody will be able to compile the code and compare the binary result with the version that I give out.
I could however wrap all http requests to the NXT API server and the input dialogs for the secret into a seperate module compiled into a *.dll. I would give out the source code for it and everone with a Delphi compiler could compile it for himself or such a library could even be distributed from other sources (the NXT developers). I would make CRC checks on the dll when loading it in my client, so that it can not be tempered with. The secret is not passed back from the dll to the client, only the results of the HTTP requests.
Would that help raise the trust in the otherwise close-sourced client?
