Good morning everybody, it is nice to see that GBX is doing this well in all of this movements in the market. This is a very good sign.
I am expecting great things next year. From what I saw form parts of whitepaper that was shown at Discord many important updates are in the making.
Exciting times are ahead!

They've got a very long whitepaper in the making that mostly consists of redefentions of things already developed by other guys like SegWit, Atomic Swap, Neoscrypt etc. Not sure it's a right approach.

Why reinvent something if there is already existing solution that works great. You don't see a car manufacturer trying to invent something that would replace wheels. It is already a best possible solution.
If they pack all of the best goodies available into one coin that can only be a good thing.

I'm not saying they shouldn't use it, I'm saying that doesn't usually get in the white paper: if you use something well described elsewhere, you just leave a link and an attribution, not copypaste it again and again. That's the scientific tradition and white papers for crypto take root in that traditon. "We'll have atomic swap as described in [XXX16, YYY17]" is much better than "Atomic swap is [...three pages of XXX16 and YYY17 rewritten...]".
