Naive questions: - what do you mean by "miners" in this context? Malicious contributors sneaking crypto-mining logic into the codebase? - doesn't the concern

Naive questions:
- what do you mean by "miners" in this context? Malicious contributors sneaking crypto-mining logic into the codebase?
- doesn't the concern about Trojans and spyware affect every other open-source project in existence? How have they been protecting against that, and why couldn't the Winamp maintainers take similar measures?
- RF_Savage 5y agoMore like precompiled binaries being distributed by malicious stuff added in. How will you know which winamp.exe is the legitimate one?
- dale_glass 5y agoCode signing has been a thing in Windows for a long time now. Besides that, just the usual "the official .exe is whatever you find at the official site" Downloading from random archive sites fortunately is a trend that went away.
