CINNICOIN, SHADOW AND SILKaka The Fall and Rise of Rynohttps://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.12785999The above post was written in the official SDC ANN thread. Sufficed to say I found it all rather irritating. For one thing the fresh air dasource mentions strikes me as the air of fresh socks: A newbie account called kewde with seeming knowledge on the workings of SDC now offering to provide documentation (*sigh*). Is it TrollsRoyce perhaps? Or maybe LongAndShort? Never mind that now… it sent me on a journey which lasted but a few hours but took me through many months of history.
Looking for more info about kewde I saw he has a freshly created GitHub account:
https://github.com/kewdeThe first thing that I thought starnge was that he was following rynomster but not the "in-house cryptographer" tecnovert who also has an account on GitHub. As you can see TV's account is essentially dead, which wold explain why he is not followed. I must confess there are times that I wonder if tecnovert even exists.
https://github.com/tecnovertIt is then I stumbled into something rather amazing… which I'll save for the end.
I remembered Rynomster wrote code for Cinnicoin, shortly before its demise. Google brought up this part of the thread:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.8071103Dated July 28th 2014 we see some CINNI users asking for ryno's code and asking where he is. The CINNI dev at the time was finding it difficult to contact Ryno. I read a couple days worth of posts and it would seem Ryno never corresponded again, although I should verify this by reading more of the thread. Of course now we know where Ryno was that whole time while the CINNI community was melting down: He was launching another PoS coin called ShadowCash.
Additionally two posts below the one linked above who should post but skip60 and shortly after Schild_. Both of these BCT users are very well known in the SDC community and I wonder if they knew what Ryno was up to as they were posting in CINNI. a bit more searching and I find LongAndShort and 00Smurf in on CINNI too:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.8535311ffmad in the CINNI thread can be read defending Ryno after an angry CINNI community member says:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.8486310"You know, I'm getting sick of having to explain this to people who parachute into this situation without looking at the context before they mouth off: Rynomaster had committed to the CINNI community delivery of encryption-message-based anonymous transactions tech to CINNI (this is documented in the message thread and in PM), stringing the CINNI community along for more than a month before he cited "family emergencies" and disappeared (along with battbot and others). CINNI as a result became an empty carcass with an absent "dev" (who really isn't a dev or coder at all, as far as I can tell, or pretends not to be).
Anyway, that same tech then turns up later in shadowcoin, a few mere days after its launch."I am quite sure Ryno took a cabal of people from CINNI to SDC, leaving CINNI for dust. Reading the CINNI thread more would only add more evidence of this. How many more are there?
So what's the amazing part? Something called DarkSilk…
