In other words, the rest of the whitepaper needs to be checked and accordingly declared scam or not.
I found some additional plagiarized parts. They basically reworded an idea called "Delegated Proof of Reputation" as "Proof of Honor." It's a major part of their project.
From the
white paper:
DRKchain considers each blockchain as a mini Internet architecture and each node as a website. Obviously, the Internet is a perfect decentralized environment. How do we search for information contained in millions of websites. PageRank is a well-known algorithm that Google uses for its Search Engine. The rationale behind ranking is that connection and linkages make value of any network. A node within a network is important somehow if there are linkages that refer to it. More referring linkages, more important a node seems to be. Among millions of web-pages, relative importance of a page is evaluated by hyperlinks referring to it. PageRank mathematically models web pages as vertices and hyperlinks as edges of a directed graph, then applies an algorithm to score pages based on their edge graph, higher score, better importance. In general, the importance of a web-page is based on its content (its real value), and is fairly evaluated by PageRank. This is similar to a node in a blockchain, its value can be measured by its transactions.

They also copied content about ring signatures from a project called
Incognito, and they also copied ideas about confidential Ethereum transactions from a project called
AZTEC.
There's hardly any content on their website, no team, and no roadmap. This project seems like an outright scam to me. Absolutely no originality, just another copy/paste DeFi project.
I don't even see any defense from the team regarding this thread
