1. Plagiarize the work, shared freely, of Adam Back, Shen, Denis, myself, and others (and in my case even implemented in a high performance implementation).
Nonsense. I was talking to Denis (author of CCT) back when he first posted his white paper to forum which was just after you announced CT.
We were brain storming ways to combine ring and hiding values, back in either May or June (I forgot when he announced). He gave up. He was exasperated because I kept coming up with ideas that he would break. And he didn't think any advance was likely. I continued to work on it and eventually I had an epiphany. I never even knew anything about your attempts to do the same, until just a couple of days ago when one of my angel investors sent me a link to the Reddit thread that Shen created.
We even paid 4
BTC to Denis once we were sure we had a unique and correct invention. Afaik, you guys didn't give him any thing for his efforts, even you have $millions in funding.
Gregory, please do not lie. You have absolutely no proof that I plagiarized your work. And in fact, you will see I solved a problem you could not solve! Damn it. I am so tired of your condescending attitude. Why can't you learn to respect others?
2. Ask for twenty grand in donations.
3. Profit.
Are you advocating that working on crypto should not pay an appropriate income? Do you work for free? How much money did you raise for Blockstream? How many mining rigs have you accepted as donations? Etc..
Here's a hint to someone who might think of funding this stuff, "just in case": Non-contributiors being paid for what is primarily your work is incredibly demoralizing-- doubly so when they don't even add anything to it (not even a good implementation); if you want to kill science and engineering in this space go ahead and fund more vaporware scams.
You haven't even seen my math and details yet, and you claim two lies:
1. You as a liar claim that my invention primary takes from the work of others, when in fact I have entirely new formulations. I am clever that way.
2. You as a liar claim that my implementation is not good, when in fact I think it is far superior to what you created.
Science needs to happen in the open. I'm also very supportive of people being paid for their work, but they need to actually do work, not just sell snakeoil to others. This community often does a much better job at funding scams than people who reliably contribute.
If you are true to your word,
then STOP LYING.
I expect your full apology. This is a disgrace. I am livid. You are destroying crypto with your attitude. You are a control freak. I improved upon the concept of homomorphic sum. My result looks nothing like Shen's work. My paper doesn't even use your CT algorithm. You are entirely full of shit.
Two non-cryptographers (Denis and myself) just kicked the ass of all the cryptographers in terms of producing the most efficient design. Fathom that.
