So why are NIZKPs and ring sigs used when only one is required for anon? Anybody?

NIZKP are part of the method used by CryptoNote ring signatures, which was copied by SDC. It is in section 4.4 of the CryptoNote white paper.

Do xmr and sdc have technically the same anon feature?

It isn't exactly the same due to the nature of the code bases (SDC is built on top of a Bitcoin fork, Monero is not), and there are some other small details that are different, but the overall method of the ring signatures is the same.

I could kiss you smooth. What's you take on the ShadowSendv2 whitepaper?

And now you want to kiss smooth..... Come on man, now your taking this a step too far. Wink

I agree.

For answering a Q I express my gratitude.

So NIZKPs and Ring SIgs are part of the same CN technology? OK
And the WP isnt bad despite not referencing CN correctly? You are more generous than others Ive spoken to regarding this

I did mention the writing quality. It is hard to understand and unclear about a lot of things. On the tech itself, what can I say? It is a near-clone of cryptonote which I consider to be a generally good system.

Zeuner asked for more documentation. Does this seem reasonable to you and can you explain why providing documentation for a crytographic peer review could be so time consuming it has been placed on the backburner for almost a year? Would it not be wiser to have ShadowSend properly tested before moving on to the Market?

I have no opinion on the priorities of the people running the SDC project. I guess they have their reasons. You already know the distribution strategy disqualifies it from consideration for me. Perhaps these issues are not unrelated.
