Not a robbery. Those people spent 4 years working on that protocol. They don't poop money, they need to get it somewhere
...
Of course they do! What are anonymous bounty payouts supposed to mean then?
Zcoin is NOT a fork of Zcash in anyway.
-snip-
Calling Zcoin a 'Zcash fork' is ignorant and shows a lack of understanding behind the large amount of work put into both these projects.
Ok-ok based on Zcash. Whatever. Eventually it's a copycat.
Also note that the 20% Founder's Reward is only for the first 4 years.
Only the first 4 years? Oh ok, it's nothing! I will buy a lot of coins then! Fuck no. It's 2.1M coins for 4 years which means 10M dollars for the years if price can sustain at $5. You know what? Fuck you! It's possible to create a new Zcash and even better for 10M USD. Fair reward for the work done is 2% at max IMO.
No, Zcoin (XZC) is the original Zcoin implementation...
Published by Johns Hopkins University Department of Computer Science circa 2013...
And largely funded by Office of Naval Research and DARPA and the Air Force Research Lab.
http://zerocoin.org/media/pdf/ZerocoinOakland.pdfZcash is private, corporate variation on zero-knowledge proofs with a completely different set of tradeoffs and risk factors.
It's not "ok-ok", "whatever", "fuck you", "max IMO"... you pinhead.
Come on.. The only real difference is that Zcoin doesn't conceal transaction amount but Zcash does.
Glad to hear that especially from a guy who contributed to Bitcoin core.
