Re: Network Attack on XVG / VERGE

I never said that Denarius came up with stealth addresses, I am just showing that your code is a copy/paste from their Github. We all know Wraith is promoted as something it is not. Care to explain the other commits?

verge is a fork of peercoin, obviously. (was, after the new rebase to bitcoin we've been working on)

and the stealth.cpp file came from shadowcoin, not denarius. denarius removed the SDC copyright from their header in that file. ours retains the shadowcoin copyright.

How much do you want to bet that your new codebase will be copied from shield who were planning to shift to .16 before you? I can't wait to see the timestamps on the GitHub commits. I'm sure yours will be after theirs and you'll just lie saying they copied you.

So you are saying that one can copy a private codebase? Wow seems like something new. I thought one cant copy private codebase bcoz thats what they have announced. Just like Verge, Verge is gonna make impossible to copy the code from now on so no one can copy code and then blame that verge has copied their fixes or commits.

If it's going to be a private codebase, it's not open source and there's basically no point holding either of those coins anymore. So much for "community" coin. I'm sure shield is not going to have a private codebase. Not sure about XVG because their wallets and miners are going to be closed source. HUGE red flag.

Well, if like you said, Verge Miners and Wallets are gonna be closed source then its upto People to stay invested or not. Let them decide. I dont think Verge dev has finalized to this decision BUT If Verge dev by chance finalizes this decision of being closed source then IMO its even better so certain aspects of code is hidden to prevent code copying and exploits.
Also accordind to your Argument, you should close your bank account as well bcoz you dont know a thing abt their software being closed source. HUGE RED FLAG !!

The whole point is we're trying to be different than banks. Also, comparing code to a bank account is the most retarded anology. I'm not telling him to post his private keys online. Only trust the code. This is an unregulated space, there's no fallback option. Thus, open source code is imperative.

you are being subjective.
One can avoid major problem by keeping certain parts of your code private.
Anyways like i said in my comments, Verge is still exploring all possible options. Also i would like to thank Shield XSH Devleopers for mentioning Verge Developers in their Repository.

The whole point of crypto is to be your own bank and that involves knowing the software you're dealing with or at least having it verified by other users in the community. Open source is required for that.
