Seems this is very similar to ShadowCash minting scheme and double spend protection as described in section 3 and 4 of the Shadow whitepaper: http://shadow.cash/downloads/shadowcash-anon.pdf

Again I'm going to explain it to you. It is up to you if you wish to learn or continue to spam the drivel.

The NIZKP in the SDC whitepaper has nothing to do with "minting" and is just a regular part of the construction used to create cryptonote signitures. Yes this is described in sections 3 and 4 (mostly 4) of the SDC white paper, just as it is likewise described in section 4.4 of the cryptonote white paper. The more puzzling question is why the SDC white paper never cites the cryptonote white paper in the section where it uses the same cryptographic constructions, instead of merely listing a non-specific reference to cryptonote at the end. A careless oversight perhaps. You will have to ask the author, though.

No one is being a jerk here, I'm responding to inaccuracies in your spam, that is all.

Well all I did was continue a conversation, and make statements saying, what it "seems" like and providing evidence. I am very happy for you to correct me if I am wrong. How else is someone suppose to find the truth? I was basically asking questions about the similarities that I saw. Personally I don't believe asking questions or having a conversation is spam, and calling it that is rather rude and insulting imo. Personally I think you are a little biased in your opinion(and possibly threatened) since you are so personally invested in Monero (and I don't mean financially invested, I mean investing your time and energy). So it will be nice when a 3rd party review comes out. Again we have common goals of privacy and anonymity, and a little respect goes a long way. Being rude has a ripple effect and then trolls come out from the woodwork and it causes a flame war. We are all more professional than that.

Pline: I wouldnt bother with smooth. He refuses to open his mind or wait for the Zeuner review. smooth is entirely convinced he knows best and that will never change. I have even tried learning Esperanto to assist in my communication with him, all to no avail I fear

onemorexmr: did u get a good answer from the DRK guys why a masternode should cost 1000DRK and not say 500DRK to double the amount of MN's (a good thing right?)
