Let's represent the full picture  .

5 commits ..

smooth What's your current role then ?

There definitely more than that. Off the top of my head I can think of several checkpoint updates, implementing code to verify checkpoints at startup, and merging a bug fix from BBR. None of that is there, so that's a bit strange. I'm not sure where they all went

If you are looking for lots of code though, you won't find it, that's not my primary role on the project.

(github question still unanswered...)

He's not my type.

Smooth, are these all your Monero commits or are there more? https://github.com/iamsmooth/bitmonero/commits/master?author=iamsmooth

Your puppets? Sorry I didn't follow that.


Ok then. We're certainly interested in your feedback on the reports. If you also are looking for code improvements and work in progress as opposed to review and analysis you should also check the extended github (the monero-project master and also the various developer and contributor forks).

The year-in-review thing might be helpful, though of course that only covers 2014

If I was interested in some kind of attack like your puppets I would do it ..
You probably not aware but I was mined your coin during the summer of 2014 with my farm and already hold some coins ..
I'll look over the documentation to see what are you already improved.

I seriously doubt that he is really concerned, but if so then those papers are no good because they aren't independent.

The only way for him to know that reviews are done independently is to have his own performed.

This is not entirely facetious as I know of at least one large Bitcoin investor who has done this.

If you're really concerned you might want to take a look at these papers:

Oh, and here's what Peter Todd has recently said about Monero:

How about instead of basing your opinion on "what you saw" (individual comments taken out of context by DRK supporters), you should read the entire context, including where he said he should buy some XMR (and never retracted that as far as I know), and also try to understand what is meant when someone with a lot of knowledge says that Monero has such-and-such an issue that is better solved by Zerocash (hint: it does not mean that Zerocash doesn't have problems of its own).

As far as the issues he pointed out with ring signatures generally, those were identified by us in MRL-0001 and addressed in MRL-0004. If you are interested and not trolling you might want to read those.


It is reasonable to be skeptical about these things.


Cool. You should pay for it then. The community would appreciate your contribution just as it appreciates others'


I call it as I see it, and I was not referring in particular to any individual's work.

Perfect point about technology that is in development stage.  .
You probably not aware of the risks that hide the early development stages and releases of the code.

Well, a exploit in Darkcoins darksend/anon system was found by a amateur coder a few hours after it was open sourced(And this was after Kristov Atlas supposedly peer reviewed darkcoins code) ...So I think that comment  of ,"No thank you. I find these altcoin "peer review" efforts to be a little more than marketing for pumpers." is pretty spot on especially since Monero has always been open source.

It's not nonsense if you cannot defend your claims. I'll wait for clear evidences in the relevant thread then..


From what I saw from PeterTodd's comments about CN and ring signatures, I'm not sure that your very well designed system is not full of exploits because its origin BCN was a scam and probably has a numerous backdoors inside..
Because of that I would like to see a complete peer review of Moneros implementation of CN from an independent cryptographer/security professional.


You should talk with a little more respect to other's work.

yeah. they are silent on dashcoin issue..the ony thing they are spitting is "go talk to you dev" (fucking pricks)

DRK are claiming to be genius on masternode and anonymous tech stuff but cannot figure a good name for their darkcoin 

btw do not steal dash the cash...dashcoins mascot (paper cash)

The monero codebase is diverging from the original CN code at a fast rate:

If you don't have the time to look at the many commits in that repository,
the missives or GingerAle's great digests are an excellent source of information
to answer your question.

I'm pretty sure there is a readme file that comes with YAM, and the info is probably in there. At least there was the last time I tried it.

ty
what is the lowest donation interval that can be set?

I really don't get this argument. 2300 * 5k = $11.5 million. Woopity friggin doo. A drop in the bucket for any government, if they went this route (as opposed to just getting amazon or whatever server to shutdown services). You write as if the ones that would launch such a network attack are the same ones that are pushing forward the frontier of decentralization / new money. You write as if the ones hoping to bring down the network are the same ones trying to wrestle control of our valuation systems from oligarchies / aristocrats / silver spoon / whatever. Comments like these make me realize that some people really don't understand what is going on with cryptocurrencies, or they did at one point and they've forgotten the dream.

As a new observer, what I see happening with all of these scams (paycoin is a big one) is everyone else on this frontier is looking over and going "woooh dude. what the heck are you doing? Come on - we've got serious stuff to do!". The concern (and the subsequent concern trolling) with darkcoin, in this metaphor, is that there are people building a bridge over the fungibility / privacy canyon in this new frontier, but they're not bridge engineers. And down the way, there are others building bridges - and great! More bridges the better, right? But people are going "wooh dude - you probably shouldn't build your bridge that way" and instead of providing any sort of in-depth response, all of the people waiting for that bridge to be built are just like "naw, it'll be fine!!! You don't know what you're talking about." Its often commented that the monero devs are out there spreading fud or wasting time concern trolling as opposed to developing their coin. First, WTF? We're all in this together! Second, I'd rather see a dev addressing questions or quelling concern - these are the ones that know how to build bridges! I'd love to see an actual response from a darkcoin dev of substance! The closest we got was:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/drk-copy-of-evil-knievels-darkcoin-is-not-anonymous-moderated-for-clarity-979315

and the darkcoin dev left it with: "ok, you build that python script".... so the goddamn bridge engineer hasn't even run the stress tests himself?


I aint walking over that bridge.



And these are my opinions. I don't speak for monero. I like monero because these are the things I believe.
