I need some info before I invest in this coin. After reading about it I am thinking yeah this is a great alt to bitcoin but one thing i bothering me and I hope someone that is a lot smarter than I am can help.
Does the NSA have a backdoor to this coin revealing all? I am not trolling. I got this from a wiki page:
NSA involvement
There are speculations about CryptoNote being developed under the guidance of NSA. Following facts are mentioned as indicating a possible connections between NSA and CryptoNote development team:[88]
Keccak hash has been chosen as a proof-of-work function in CryptoNote several months before it has been announced as SHA-3 hash function competition winner.
NSA report about electronic cash outlines the necessity of using blind signatures in order to achieve anonymity.
Using non-deterministic random in CryptoNote signatures might be a backdoor intentionally left by NSA in reference implementation.
Being ASIC-resistant, CryptoNote-based currencies can be easily manipulated by NSA possessing big computational resources.
