Re: rpietila Altcoin Observer

It is altcoin.

Hehe now I know you are probably immersed in coding, because you dropped the 'an' as I often drop words that I read in my head by forget to type, because I am distracted.

BTCD is Bitcoin Dark. I suspect (it, hehe) is CoinJoin. Haven't bothered to look closely.

Not coinjoin: https://www.mirrorcreator.com/files/0G9JRRFF/jl777-Teleport-DarkPaper.doc_links

That coin Bitcoindark, doesn't have any privacy features, they plan to copy off of Cryptonote(doubt they will even do that, everything theyve said has just been hot air) , the following is a quite from one of the dev team members for Bitcoindark from the second link

"I am part of BTCD community now and I happen to be developing a cryptonote fork to add anon features to NXT. It turns out that my methods should apply to BTCD also. I will be working on integrating cryptonote tech into BTCD, but it is more than "just" cryptonote anon tech as I am also making my solution include a near realtime exchange (InstantDEX) so people can directly trade just by running the coin."

Not using cryptonote and not hot air. Read the paper before commenting please.

I assume when he says "cryptonote tech" he means ring signatures. But he also says that he's developing a "cryptonote fork" that will add anon features to NXT??? I'm not an expert but isn't that like saying I'm developing a XCN fork that will add a mini-blockchain to Bitcoin? It just doesn't work like that, right? I'm confused.
