Re: ★[ANN] [NAV] NAV COIN - ANONYMOUS TECH. ● ANDROID WALLET LIVE ● NAV 2.1 SOON
Hi NavCoin devs,
I'm a member of The Shadow Project, we're a group of developers and activists that fight for online privacy.
We're also the people behind the ShadowCash project, one which we develop with a lot of spirit and love.
We took notice that you're using quite a bit of our codebase - we think that's great by the way, as developers it strokes our ego a bit
On the other hand we do believe credits are to be given where they are due.
We were wondering if you could give us a fair mention in the main thread for the tremendous effort we've put into programming it.
Major parts of your platform are 100% based of what we made stealth addresses and our secure messaging, all by all good for roughly 4,600 lines of code.
Our community is heavily guarded by morals, none of them are pleased with relentless "copy-pasting" our efforts and at best will not touch your coin, at worst they'll argue to death and the odds are not in your favor with this one.
Recently some members of your community have been throwing mud at ShadowCash for not 'having enough developers, navcoin has 7'.
I don't have to explain why that pissed some people off, I hope we can come to consensus.
PS: Good job on running those Tor relay nodes, glad to see supporters of Tor

Hey Kwede,
I am sad to hear some NavCoin community members have been throwing mud at your project. That is not the spirit in which we operate here! We are always pleased to see other devs doing great work anywhere in the block chain landscape and especially in the financial privacy area. ShadowCash is a great project and you guys have built a lot of great features which help protect peoples financial privacy which is something we firmly believe to be a basic human right like the freedom of speech. We have a lot of respect for your team and what you do!
In regards to the use of some of ShadowCash's features, we are happy to pay credit where credit is due. There are actually a lot of redundant features in the code base which are never used by the UI. For example, we dont actually implement stealth addresses or the masternode system but the code is still dormant in the base because it was included in our original fork.
In an upcoming release, we will review which parts of the code we are actually using and remove the code which is unnecessary followed by detailed accreditation of the parts which are pulled in from other code bases. I don't believe we forked ShadowCash directly for the foundation of the wallet code, but perhaps the wallet we forked did.
As with all open source projects, and especially in the bitcoin space, this is common practice. However, we want you to know that we aren't intentionally using any of your proprietary features without due accreditation and we don't use your system for our main anonymous features.
The Anonymous system we implement is entirely unique to NavCoin and is not based on the ShadowCash tech. We have built that ourselves from the ground up.
Thanks for the heads up, and we hope our communities can build each other up in the future instead of slinging mud!
Best Regards,
Craig
