I just woke up. Am I correct here? Stealth addresses are open sourced code that has been fully credited and isn't Stealth send as a whole, which is the major component that is still coming later in November, yes?
I don't see the big deal here. Shadowcoin people should be happy. The code is open sourced and credited. This is a validation of a component in their coin. Not sure why they're in here being pissy. Our dev give's other coins tech. Hondo has openly been very pro collaboration. There is no ego in this coin and I consider that a strength. It's a community project that stretches beyond the walls of just one coin.
Collaboration is indeed going to be the biggest obstacle to the success of anon currency and bitcoin as a whole. While we do have a few sharp shooters, it takes more than one to win a war.
And anonymous currency is a
war.
Peoples' lives are stake here. If encryption fails at a critical time, people could die, funds forfeited, and who knows what else. With the constant mongering of bureaucratic powers attempting to contain and subvert people, stuff like anonymous currency is truly
the last bastion of liberty.I have been thrilled to see Hondo and argakiig in collaboration, and this recent addition of Shadow to Stealth's tech retinue. As you can clearly see from the enhancement to anonymity from these times the devs work together,
collaboration makes us stronger.As the technology improves in various directions we need to encourage our devs to high-five each other and build productive relationships. After all, for all the people chanting moonbound and money, if our coins become significant enough they will attract attention from the same oppressive regimes that they are built to combat.
It is a daunting task to expect one coder to be able to withstand the attacks of governments employing thousands. But with collaboration, we are like a Hydra that grows more heads every time one is removed.
I liken our devs not just to computer programmers, but in the face of such ubiquitous breaches of personal liberties in the modern world,
our devs are freedom fighters. They are
defending us. And we need them to work together.
+ stealth addresses = PERFECTION!
