Bear in mind a crytographer is involved in Shadowsend, Techovert. If, as you say, ssv2 is an implementation of cryptonote, then why would Ryno collaborate with him? Ryno certainly has the skill to build an implementation of cryptonote without any help…
I'm not familar with this technovert. What else has he accomplished?
Assuming your developer is not a cryptographer and employed the assistance of one, that speaks well of him. There are certainly aspects of shadowsenc that are different from cryptonote (such as the way it integrates with the non-anonymous SDC), and any changes or differences in context should be reviewed by a cryptographer, yes.
Alice makes cupcakes, she puts them in the same brand of tray that bob does. Except bob has refined his process and has a far better cupcake mixture then Alice. So Bob gets a far better review for his cupcakes. Even though Alice was using that same cupcake tray a while before bob was. It clearly seems irrelevant that Bob or his reviewers acknowledge Alice because she used the same tray!
You are implying bob should give credit where credit is due. I think you are off your tree
if you think this is anything like cryptonote besides using ring signatures! Which might i add are not cryptonotes invention, as you know!
Cryptonote uses a different curve, different libraries, and a whole different underlying core. For starters SS2 does not send the entire ring.
The scheme is quite a bit different, in that it borrows concepts from zerocoin, with the minting and spending, and use ring signatures to make the inputs untraceable from the outputs.. It's also using PoS instead of PoW. Its a completely unique scheme and implementation. End of story!
Now, to get onto the topic of technovert. He is rynomsters partner, they have been working on this project together from the beginning as far as i know.
You believe its the same as cryptonote, we don't, so lets just leave it please. I'm really getting sick of seeing dadon react.
FYI @dadon, people don't belong to certain threads. Smooth may be a bit passive and seems to have some sort of agenda here on first glance but he really does not "belong" in any thread. This is free for everyone who contributes. Smooth is at least contributing. If all we have is some weak comparison to cryptonote through a ring signature. Which is like saying ShadowCash uses "if" and "while" statements in its code like bitcoin "nothing special" "credit where credits due"...
I know you know this but i really don't like that "please return to your home". Just counter argue him/her, you have all the facts and history laid out before you to shoot back at some of the things he/she says.
This implementation is the foundation with which to slot in snarks. It will, again, blow anything close to it away! Again... Buy Shadow, don't buy it. Its of no consequence, it is the leading anon project. Very few people are willing to
openly accept it yet.
