this buying frenzy might not end well. i do not know what to say but i see a lot of onion schitcoin clone into this project.
we have always been open that this is a fork of Deeponion, but we intend do take a different and hopefully fairer path. there is nothing wrong with forks of coins. it happens all the time.
And especially now with DeepOnion wanting to completely change their codebase to BTC. They will have more delays in DeepSend and potentially get rid of Stealth Addressing. So for however long they won't have any sort of privacy features. Soon Privcy will be totally different and a better privacy coin.
