I personally don't have a problem with people cloning projects as long as they are going to do some type of innovation.. Otherwise they're just saturating the market with a shitcoin pumpndump. The problem in altcrypto is there are too many clones of clones of clones.. For some reason people don't want to contribute to the source projects. The only thing I can think of is greed. Probably why there are 1000s of coins in the Alternative Crypto section, with only a handful worth any type of investment like Shadow.
If you're a real dev and you're inspired by the Shadow project enough to clone it - why not just contribute to it? This week alone 3 different devs came into #shadowcoin IRC and reached out to contribute to the Shadow project. One in particular is a legit cryptographer, which makes Shadow the only coin outside of Bitcoin/Bytecoin to have an in-house cryptographer. The code will end up being refactored so tightly that cloning it will be a job in itself.
Ryno the lead dev of Shadow doesn't do it for the $$, he does it because he likes to write cool shit. That's one of the reasons why he keeps open sourcing everything. If you find a project with a dev doing it for passion, it's a no-brainer investment. Why anyone would even attempt to keep up with Ryno and the shadowteam is beyond me.. the dude writes code 18hour+ days.. lol.
I understand most people here don't really give a shit about a coin or it's technology, but that is the reason why the altcoin scene is so upside down. Real projects like Shadow get overlooked in favor of quick pumpndump projects. The more we contribute to clones the more we saturate the market. The altcoin space is starting to look more and more like the India/China clone sites. "Buy Facebook clone $50" etc.
One thing you could do is add "Shadow[SDC]" to the OP and Github Repo, that would be a start. Anyways take care.
Cool Story bro..
Let me find a Sheriff Star for you somewhere..
You should try to convince the SDC devs to go closed source when I read your Post.. So it is not allowed to fork/Clone a coin anymore, rather you should contribute to the "original".
So Let's kill ALL the altcoins and only work with bitcoin AND make BTC closed source too...
And also you shown your real color that how much stereotyped you are by blaming everything on India/China.Does Carsen Clock also belongs to India/China?
Wat? I am not blaming everything from india /China.
I just Support New coins, especially with New algos. Of course not scam coins but hey, This coin Has 5 pod, an active dev and you Trolls are AGAIN trying to destroy the coin by fudding from multiple accs like you did with NM...
If you have a bag full of sdc i am sorry for you but that is not the reason for constantly fudding every (not just this one) New coin...
A controlled alt coin World with only 3 or 4 altcoins would be also boring as hell...
I'm not trying to fud any coin and I never will. If you think my post is FUD, then I don't really know what to tell you.. other than you need to review the definition of fud.
What multiple accounts do I have? This is my only BTCtalk account.
I guess "boring" is your perspective, you promote the pump and dump cycles by supporting clonecoins, which to me is boring. To each their own though, I don't hold it against you. I'd rather see adoption rather than broken promises to investors. I really don't mind "bag-holding" a coin like Shadow, unlike a shitcoin it has potential.
Just one more sentence to fnalize it : I don't Support pump and dump coins at all (read thru my first posts at the vault thread) i Support New, innovative coins with new/Different algos and legit devs.
It is boring setting up ANOTHER x11 pool but rather interesting fiddling around with New algos etc..
