For a coin that is supposed to be about anon, maybe respecting that sort of thing might be an idea?
Peter Todd is mentioned on the stealth address wiki http://sx.dyne.org/stealth.html. I'm not sure where you are trying to go with that statement. I don't think the coin needs hype the technology and hard work the devs are putting in is speaking for it.
Peter Todd's name is used repeatedly in the last dev "update". Maybe the coin does not need the hype. Apparently the devs feel differently.
And my original point remains. Very bad form to use such a high profile name without consent.
Hmm, yeah I still don't see your point. The first mention is giving him credit, "Peter Todd (the original visionary of stealth addresses)" and the second is to thank him for his white paper contribution. One of the prime components for ShadowSend is a direct product of Peter Todd's work in the area.. maybe I'm missing something here..
So according to your logic, it is better to use someone's idea and then ask them permission to give them credit?
