Well it's clearly based on the same idea of creating a p2p network of blockchains. Much of the code for superNET is already finished anyway so it's not like it's still in the conceptual stage at this point or anything.

James' superNET is a revolutionary idea in cryptocurrency. It was inevitable that other people would attempt to use that idea. It's not bad thing. I don't understand the attempts to play it down as if the idea behind blockNET isn't based upon the same foundation as James' idea for superNET.

XC also has a clearly defined marking arm which obviously has done a fairly good job of getting the word out through their graphical documentation and media outreach. So I give them kudos for that. That's probably something that needs to be developed with superNET from the business angle. Something will have to be figured out to merge the concept of an open source decentralised organization and a profit seeking business at some point. I believe XC has been run like a business from the start for better or worse, which is a bit different in this community. So over time superNET will have to adapt to the challenges of running a multimillion dollar decentralised organization focused on generating maximum revenue for shareholders. But I'm very optimistic with regards to that because we have a great community of capable people.
