I have a question about the whitepaper . You cite the Shadowchat whitepaper [6] and the Bitmessage paper [18]. Given you were following this thread I'm surprised you elected to include the SDC paper since it's a rip-off of Bitmessage. Or do you not think this is the case? Could you explain this decision?

I cited both because I took the code directly from the ShadowCash GitHub and they took the code in-turn from Bitmessage.

Are you stating the code is a rip-off? It is open-source.

Or their whitepaper? I based my content off of the ShadowCash whitepaper, which I then checked through and edited errors and reworded etc. Theirs is based on Bitmessage, another reason I cited both.

Also this is in the whitepaper: "DarkSilk P2P (peer-to-peer) messaging, taken from ShadowChat which is based upon Bitmessage[18], utilises state-of-the-art encryption technology to keep your communications private."

So I ask you, what is the issue? I also ask you kindly to remove Silk from your thread.

The shadowchat paper is a transparent rip-off as anybody can plainly see. The code I cannot speak to. You couldve referenced the Bitmessage paper and the SDC Github I suppose. Anyway its not my bag. Well done on releasing the paper, Ill give it a read later. Good Luck.

The bitmessage paper was referenced and cited in the Silk Network whitepaper. I don't understand what the issue is???

His point is I should of referenced the ShadowChat GitHub but at the same time I did take a bulk of information directly from the whitepaper of SDC and they in turn took from Bitmessage. I believe what I have done in the Silk Network whitepaper is absolutely fine and accurately cites what it needed. There is no point in the whitepaper where I quote the code directly that I took from SDC, which in-turn gives no place for citation.

Nice to see that someone is passionate though about morals and making sure people get the recognition they deserve.
