define "real"

Bitcoin cash? The name is not suitable as the term 'cash' alludes to privacy. Bitcoin with a separate ticker would of been fine [XBC]. See Bytecoin [BTE] and Bytecoin [BCN] for historical precedent in crypto-numismatics.

Quote from: aiwe on July 28, 2017, 07:36:11 AM Yeah, let the bunch of shitclones get nice looking wallet for the latest codebase. They love steal other's work for free Open source development is about being transparent with the community about the code they are running on their systems. A side effect is that other projects (like yours) will use the code and potentially improve upon it. Those improvements can then be brought back into the original project. Keeping the wallet code hidden from this community doesn't reflect well upon the developers of this project. If the developers here are operating as per the Qt licensing agreement they are obligated to release the source code. If they're violating the Qt license then it says a lot about their character. https://www.qt.io/qt-licensing-terms

Quote from: BCN_official on July 27, 2017, 05:36:04 PM Hey all, At the moment we're working on a new wallet for MacOS and we wanted to give you a sneak peak of the first design. (follow the reddit link) We wanted you to be the first to see it and get your feedback for development. Let us know what you think and what you'd want to see in a wallet. We're looking forward to hearing your ideas and suggestions! https://www.reddit.com/r/BytecoinBCN/comments/6pxj36/the_new_macos_wallet_sneak_peak/ Do you plan on open sourcing this wallet along with the rest of the GUI wallets? It is very odd that the official GUI wallet for an open source cryptocurrency is close source. It doesn't help much to improve the project's reputation. Development transparency is the strongest pillar in the success of any cryptocurrency. Dash's code base was closed source for a long time before the community started demanding transparent development. That experiment is now trading at $200 a coin.

Does it bother anyone here that the official Bytecoin GUI is closed source?

Quote from: mjosephs on July 26, 2017, 01:00:00 AM Quote from: mrb on July 25, 2017, 11:31:36 PM Thanks. Oh and I submitted a 2nd attack, this time a flaw in the MTP algorithm itself. https://twitter.com/zorinaq/status/889990807519870979 I think it's incredibly disturbing that the zcoin devs are embargoing these discoveries when MTP has not been deployed yet. There is no risk of an exploit since the exploitable code has not yet been deployed. And it sounds like mrb's second discovery is more than the horridly-maintained codebase containing magic numbers like "4034". But we have no way to know. Shame on you, zcoin, for bribing researchers into silence. +1 That way the research can be cited in academic papers. Bribing researchers and then instituting a gag order doesn't reflect well on this project or its contributors. There is no logical reason for exploits on public testnet code to be suppressed. What I find equally disturbing - the authors of MTP failed to cite Fabien Coelho's earlier work: "An (Almost) Constant-Effort Solution-Verification Proof-of-Work Protocol based on Merkle Trees" http://www.hashcash.org/papers/merkle-proof.pdf 2007 My team and I have been researching MTP and Fabien happens to be one of my colleagues. He's working on a paper covering MTP and unlike the "research" happening here, it will be made public.

Interesting proposal from a staff member. Although, if you're going to consider this 'cash' there should be proper privacy improvements in place over Bitcoin to mimic cash transactions. In the most traditional financial sense, Bitcoin most resembles debit card transactions. It was designed this way for transparency purposes. Unlike debit card transactions, cash on the other hand cannot be traced.
