Ring signatures are going to be implemented in V2. I will begin development immediately after I opensource V1.
How do we compete against clones? Can they clone me? I work on this full time.
In fact, I've only been at it four months. So far I've implemented DarkSend + X11 + DGW + Masternode payments.
Plus, I've agreed to work on this project till at least Jan 2016 full time.
So who on earth would invest in a clone?
I will put my DRKs underground till at least Jan 2016.

Edit: I will setup my Masternode

This post is fucking gold.
