The "captology" of the site doesn't convey enough reputation. CV's, history and some support / contact details. Also an easy way to build from source.
The bigger issue is making build environments reproducible such that it's possible to arrive the same binaries deterministically, and therefore proving that there's nothing outside of the code. It's possible, but it's tricky, especially with stack randomization and the other minutia of slightly different configs. More apps like the opensuse build service, brew bot and travis might help.

- midas007 13y agoUgh, that's annoying. Fails the unwritten rule of "value first before shamelessly plugging stuff."
- wyager 13y agoI know some projects do deterministic builds using a pre-made VM. There are Bitcoin bots that periodically build the client and check it against official binaries to detect tampering.
- midas007 13y agoWhy not just build from source a-la gentoo? For the osx client, I built bitcoin-qt from source with openssl 1.0.1f.
