Recently I saw an Deeponion-like altcoins. It's very popular right now, you guys know who it is，someone doubted it plagiarized the Deeponion code. What do you think?
They did and it is not a secret. That only confirms that this project is successful and that others want to copy its success.
They can never be better than DeepOnion as they have no development of their own and can only wait for DeepOnion to implement some feature to copy it so they will always be behind.
Yes, they copied everything from DeepOnion: the code and the airdrop system. Fortunately, the source of DeepVault has not yet been disclosed and could not be copied. That's why not everything can be published open source on Github.
I noticed that they updated their roadmap recently with a plan to add enhanced privacy features in 2019 Q1... that is a convenient date that will give DeepOnion the time to release and test DeepSend before they copy it.
I hope DeepSend will remain closed source for at least a year before the code is released publicly. This way, anyone trying to copy us will have to survive a whole year before they get any privacy features for free. I think they'll need a 1-year-airdrop just to remain active. Actually, I hope DeepSend remains closed-source until ONION is widely recognized... this way, copying code can never be a concern.
DeepSend isn't a security feature so I don't mind if it remains closed forever.
Definitely, but not really sure how it works with DeepOnion's terms and policy to keep it open for public or private.
Nothing in our terms that state we will publish it publicly or keep it private. We control what we want to do with our feature. DeepVault code is still private and we are still advancing without releasing it to the public.
Actually, most of the public are ignorant about who owns what features. They don't care if DeepOnion was the first to implement something good. They only care about the most widely used coin. We need to establish our reputation among privacy advocates and privacy concerned users... if our value increase we will gain attraction and everyone will start talking about DeepOnion being the best privacy crypto (again, not referring to DeepSend, DeepVault or any other innovative feature implemented by us). When we gain momentum, we need to continue pushing to increase adoption.
The public wants the best, they don't care about innovative features or who created what. Example:
Alice: I want in on cryptocurrency. What is the best coin to buy?
Bob: Bitcoin is the best, but you can also buy ETH or something else.
Alice: NO, I'll buy bitcoin because it's the best I want the best for myself.
Bob: Why don't you do some research about ETH, it is more advanced than bitcoin and it has more features and innovation.
Alice: Ain't nobody got time fo dat!
see what I mean
