I like the tool, and even more I like the way you protect your code. Why share it anyway?
I wish I could programm like this.
Originally by: Ideki I am hiding nothing, I have more than 2000 people using my tool. That should be enought to prove that people trust me. Otherwise you would see them flaming this post about how I rob them of everything they own ingame... Beside, the fact that I keep people going to my site for downloading update prevents other from modifying my tool by putting virus and stuff in it. The less sources of download, the less chances of someone putting a tricked version somewhere...
So now my question to you is: Why do you need to see my code?
I hardly believe that everyone wants to see my code to make sure that I am not doing anything evil on their computer. Programming is my real life job. And if there is one thing that you learn when you work in a programming company is that you protect your code against thief. So that's the rule I am applying to my own tool.
If people still do not trust me, or if they are infuriated because they cannot see/copy my code, then too bad for them. I am not forcing anyone to use my tools. But if people want to make a tool like mine, then they can use their own brain just like I did. I do not see why I should give away stuff that I spent a lot of time to work on. Beside, the more tools there are, the more chances of someone trying to do something evil.
If people fear a virus then use an antivirus. If people fear someone using a keylogger to steal their isks, then they should not download any tool/addon.
In the end it all boil down to a matter of trust.
And that's why I am doing what I am doing. There is only 1 site where to download this tool from. And the tool feature an auto-update mechanism so once downloaded you don't even have to search for my site again.
I am doing what I can to make people trust me. But I will not share my code until I am ready to do so. And everytime someone ask me to see my code, or say that I am 'hiding' something, I am less tempted to share my code...
