The idea sounds cool but it is perhaps too early for public launch. The github is just hosting a zip that contains executables, no source. (Do many projects (ab)use github this way??). I'm not going to run a random binary from an "anonymous" "darkweb" entity.

I miss the Free software movement. :(

It seems to be a common pattern in the cryptocurrency world.

Which is mind-bogglingly stupid considering how devastating it can be to run untrusted, unreproducible binaries on machines hosting things like crypto clients/wallets.

Fairly certain that's a feature, not a bug. (Obviously to hide other features which the end users would take offense to)
