That "code thief" single handedly coded more and with a higher quality than your beloved XMR developers, who couldn't put down anything on the table since the moment they forked bytecoin.

Must hurt to baghold something that will never get real world use or adoption with those "developers".

gjhiggins proves 'VNL stole code?'  Quick, attack C-CEX like anyone knows or cares WTF a C-CEX is/was!


You're completely ignoring John's post here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1151160.msg12509082#msg12509082

Here is the openssl code in 2005 that gjhiggins claim was stolen from Bitcoin:

https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/8712009778af8430150401d5bee4e94d547f1f2d/crypto/ec/ec_key.c#L233

His post did not address the issue and furthermore, while irrelevant, was incorrect about Bitcoin, as I explained here (emphasis added since it seems to have been missed by the reading-challenged VNL shills):

False. The OpenSSL attribution is retained in the Bitcoin distribution.

This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit.

Where is the attribution in vanilla coin along with your retraction of the false claim that vanillacoin was written entirely from scratch?

Whether the code was originally from Bitcoin or OpenSSL, you have now admitted that your marketing claim about vanillacoin was false.

In any case the code in VNL is structurally much more similar to the version in Bitcoin and was obviously copied from that one, not the OpenSSL variant (which is also a reasonable inference since there are other sections of Bitcoin code which are obviously copied/renamed and don't come from OpenSSL)
