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.
