I will try this again - maybe some members of the community can answer some questions.
Hello everyone,
Just some simple questions:
1. Is DeepOnion based off of another coin codebase?
2. If it is, which commit?
3. So DeepOnion nodes operator over Tor. Doesn't this mean IPs are somewhat visible, since we are connecting to each other, rather than a service?
4. So wouldn't it be possible to know who is running DeepOnion nodes via peerlist? Or is every DeepOnion node a hidden service?
5. Is there legitimate proof or way to prove no premining has occurred?
6. When was this coin actually started? It was released in July (12th-ish) but I would like to know when it actually began development.
7. Does DeepOnion support re-producible builds? If I build DeepOnion from source, will the binary be 1-for-1 with what you have released (considering I build from the same release version, of course).
8. Why create DeepOnion, instead of setting up a Bitcoin node behind Tor?
The rest of my research I will conduct by looking at the source on GitHub.
Thank you very much and I will post back when I'm done
If you want to see other research I've done check out the link in my signature - thanks!
Personally I would like some DeepOnion, as it seems there is some real use for the technology. Keep up the work!
I can skip all the way down to number five. Nearly the entire coin was pre-mined.
Quoting directly from the OP - "The best part is that we DO NOT do ICOs or crowdfunding. 90% of total coins are premined at genesis block. The remaining 10% will be mineable by the public. Most premined coins will be freely airdropped to the community through many rounds of airdrops (detailed herein). Certain conditional requirements apply, please read on for details.
Genesis block, premined coins, breakdown; 70% will be air-dropped to the community, while 20% will be used for bounties, rewards and other promotions. Remaining 10% will belong to the dev team."
