I don't have a clue about ShadowCash etc.
All I know is I crossed paths with Rynomster simply by being a cryptographic developer, have known him for about a year, never had an issue with him personally and asked him to sort our gitian files out for DarkSilk.
That is why you see commits in my personal repo from him.
He isn't a part of the team, he just helped me out for a few hours as we get on.
I hope that solves your questions about his involvement with DarkSilk.
Nice of you to drop by.
You’ve known Ryno for a year but have no clue about ShadowCash? Seems a little odd.
Although now you’ve read this whole thread… so you know more.
I can see you’re writing a whitepaper for DarkSilk and published some teaser thumbnails in your thread recently. I can see 16 pages with 2 pages of references, although the content of those pages is impossible to read (intentionally on your part). However I can see you have no less than 50 references listed at the end of your paper.
Are you in a position to assure your community that you have correctly cited these references in the body of your paper and not blatantly plagiarised from others as it would appear is almost certainly the case with Rynomster’s ShadowChat paper [1]?
If you do not feel the ShadowChat paper is a wholesale rip-off of the Bitmessage paper [2] and is utterly redundant* than please explain why.
Thanks.
