So on a scale of complete dumbass to blithering idiots, how badly did the SDC team fuck this up?
"1. The bug itself was an error that any very amateur cryptographer could make (that would include me) if they were foolish enough to try to implement this without any sort of help or review from a competent cryptographer or mathematician (that would not include me). That still foolish, but perhaps understandable given limited resources and a mandate to implement the promised features anyway.
2. The "SDC Deanonymized? Nope" blog post was an epic and complete fail on the level of blithering idiots who are also complete dumbasses. That includes the claim of not being able to reproduce the flaw in 10 hours of trying. I'm not sure I believe they even tried, or which would be worse."
Yeah sounds like Smooth, charming fellow, Bug was mathematical error and was tiny, it was so minor it was overlooked, that's why it went unnoticed for so long, senders and receivers were still protect by stealth addresses and barely anybody was using the coin at the time, so we really weren't Deanonymized nd nobody was at risk
this is just silly bitcoin had a bug, monero had a bug etherum has a new bug every week nobody seams to care, that they have large market caps, but for some reason there is a huge problem with shadow having a bug in the past.
could be wrong but the reason people are making such a big deal about the bug is probably this.
vv
possibly this?
