+1 for this. While I'm glad this got launched and made available to everyone quickly, and I suspect running everything as root made it a lot easier to do so, it's generally a very very bad security thing to be doing things as root. Plus, this is crypto. Plus, the way one installs this is downloading a script and piping to bash. All of that is generally frowned upon in the security industry. So, I'm glad it's on the list to be fixed.

That said, I've run this myself on my VPS boxes that are dedicated to gunbot. I trust beerK0in, and there's no additional security problems that this script would expose a user to that gunbot itself doesn't have.
