It looks amazing, and I do dislike the current bitcoin-qt that most of us use.

However, I'll be damned if I install it on my machine for at least a year or two after it's been released and fully verified by everybody in the community who matters.



If you're worried about the security then just verify it yourself, don't wait for others to do it for you. It's not like the source isn't available for auditing.


We're not all skilled pen testers.


I do not possess the time to do that, unfortunately.

The only way that I can be sure that it's not going to steal from me is if it has been around for a few years, used extensively, and nobody has cried fowl.

That, or if they paid for a public auditing by respectable cryptographers.
