Re: [ANN] [SUMO] SUMOKOIN - 🔏 Digital Cash For Highly-Confidential Transactions 🔏
Hmmm...it seems a cheerleader is oblivious to the fact that just like most crypto project, Sumo is open source. Heck, it's literally a copy of Monero for chissake which is truly and idealistically an open source and decentralized project at its very core. That means it's anybody's business if they so choose to participate in whatever manner...unless, of course, the cheerleaders and their bosses are actually making this their own pet project for their own personal benefit in the guise of being open source to camouflage their true intention; and the rest of us are regarded by them as expendable. So when a cheerleader tell off a participant of their "supposedly" open source project to "mind his business" and stay away from their pet project, it's actually a Freudian slip of their true intention.
Cases in point:
1. The exorbitant Sumokoin premine of 10% of the coin supply (about 9 million coins thereby eventually enriching themselves)
2. cheerleaders behaving like a pack of rabid dogs ganging up senselessly on even the slightest of criticism of their pet project that would eventually enrich them like nobody's business.
@Visdude ... you should not say that here. The sumokoin folks don't like other people asking questions about the premine. Be careful... And question like
that will be met with the iron fist of FUD.
But you got to give the Sumokoin folks (if there is more than one) one thing... they did manage to pull it off... either for the sake of sumokoin or personal benefits.
Although there is one thing that's actually very true... they do need help. Commits on Sumokoin (core) are a scarce commodity and I would claim that maybe 99%
of the code base is identical to monero's code base (2016/2017 version). Some packages renamed, a few changes here and there...but if you use a good tool to compare both, you might be surprised.
https://github.com/sumoprojects/sumokoin/graphs/code-frequency
I think it's more than 99% but you don't see it in the code-frequency because a lot of changes to the monero code were incorporated in the initial commit on github. This code frequency graph also doesn't show the work that is done on the other sumokoin repositories.
The devs favor doing development in their own branches and pulling big changes into the sumokoin code base.
More than 99%? Point taken... I did a compare and realized that it's mostly the different copyright headers, adjustments regarding the genesis block, emission rate, etc.
I didn't bother to count the lines
Although I do believe that there were changes made to monero which should also be incorporated into sumo. Since devs decided to move files into different packages (e.g. account.cpp, etc.),
it only makes his(/their) life(s) harder merging some of the newer features, bugfixes, and optimizations. That said, Sumo folks should really get a little more relaxed. Not all questions are spreading
FUD. Simply saying, "we are not much different from Monero but we have plans and features in the pipeline that will definitely make a difference", would probably have helped eliminate the very FUD, folks
are so worried about. And there is ample evidence that many people are worried about the 10% premine.
Transparency helps to convince people. But again... just my 50 cents on the topic.
