Still not a crime, until you deploy them to the victims. I could play around with viruses in my lab for research. Actually, I did wrote a few as a teenager for educational purposes back in the 1990s.

You have to make sure your coding is correct. Satoshi didnt publish the blockchain until he was sure.

Well, here I have doubts, I suppose that the code is not a crime as long as it is not created for it, but I don't think I am the right one to contrast this, you have left me doubting.

It's about the target. If you write dubious code and deploy it on other people's machine, it's that deploying part that makes you a criminal.
If you simply write dubious code to keep to yourself, you're not a criminal. I mean how else would you teach others how to protect themselves from dubious code?
