This package was rejected on 07 Sep 2020. The reviewer gep13 has listed the following reason(s):
Bitcoin XT (Not maintained anymore)
Bitcoin XT is an implementation of a Bitcoin full node, based upon the source code of Bitcoin Core with a focus on upgrades to the peer to peer protocol. By running it you can opt in to providing the Bitcoin network with additional services beyond what Bitcoin Core provides, including bigger blocks.
It is built by taking the latest stable Core release, applying a series of patches, and then doing deterministic builds so anyone can check the downloads correspond to the source code.
Known issues
Virus detection : More info
Disk Requirements
- Size increases based on quantity of transactions (growth chart)
- Blockchain is slowly downloaded only when Bitcoin XT is running and connected to network
- Blockchain default location is
%AppData%\Bitcoin\data
- Bitcoin XT uses the same data directories as Bitcoin Core so either program can use the same blockchain data.
Security
- This program should only be installed on a trusted machine.
- By default, upon first execution Bitcoin XT creates an unencrypted wallet file at
%AppData%\Bitcoin\wallet.dat
- Wallet.dat stores all your private keys for public Bitcoin addresses. If this file is not encrypted, anyone with access to the file may withdraw funds from addresses stored in the file. For this reason, you should encrypt wallet.dat as soon as possible from the Bitcoin XT interface.
- After encrypting wallet.dat, back up wallet.dat to at least one other secure storage medium.
- More information about securing your wallet

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).
Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.

bitcoinxt has passed automated validation. It may have or may still fail other checks like testing (verification).
Congratulations! This package passed automatic validation review without flagging on any issues the validator currently checks. A human review could still turn up issues a computer may not easily find.

bitcoinxt has passed automated testing.
This is not the only check that is performed so check the package page to ensure a 'Ready' status.
Please visit https://gist.github.com/df941c8d6815e150480025e55eda22b6 for details.
This is an FYI only. There is no action you need to take.

Can you please remove the update.ps1 from this package, as it is not required.
gep13 (reviewer) on 31 Aug 2020 07:45:47 +00:00:
Also, the readme file, this isn't required either.

bitcoinxt has passed automated validation. It may have or may still fail other checks like testing (verification).
NOTE: No required changes that the validator checks have been flagged! It is appreciated if you fix other items, but only Requirements will hold up a package version from approval. A human review could still turn up issues a computer may not easily find.
Guidelines
Guidelines are strong suggestions that improve the quality of a package version. These are considered something to fix for next time to increase the quality of the package. Over time Guidelines can become Requirements. A package version can be approved without addressing Guideline comments but will reduce the quality of the package.

Based on the response to your GitHub issue, how would you like to proceed?
tunisiano (maintainer) on 02 Sep 2020 09:02:04 +00:00:
To be honest i don't really know...
1 - we publish it, the description says there is known issue but they have the latest version
2 - i change the package to deprecated one and explain the virus detection and the unmaintained state...
What's the best practice ? or is there a defined procedure for this case?
gep13 (reviewer) on 03 Sep 2020 06:30:53 +00:00:
Rather than pushing back on both packages with the same message, let's keep the discussion on the .install package, i.e. this one:
https://chocolatey.org/packages/bitcoinxt.install/0.11.11
tunisiano (maintainer) on 05 Sep 2020 15:05:19 +00:00:
So this package can be rejected
