More a carbon copy than a crossover as detailed in my original post.

These are the references in the Bitmessage white paper:



These are the references in the ShadowChat white paper:





They are the same, minus the Bitmessage paper (not otherwise mentioned in text) and some fluffy reference to the Declaration of Human Rights. None of the references are cited within the body of the Shadow paper since they have been thoughtlessly copied from Bitmessage.



The Encryption/Decryption process as described in the Bitmessage Wiki



The Encryption/Decryption process as described in the ShadowChat paper and also on https://github.com/ShadowProject/Shadow-Docs/blob/master/source/index.md




They are the same in every detail! Please correct me if I am mistaken.

Worst case the ShadowChat paper is disgusting plagiarism, best case it is totally redundant. I would advise against citing the ShadowChat paper in yours but rather the Bitmessage whitepaper and the Bitmessage Wiki.

This is the first paragraph of the encrypted messaging section within the DarkSilk whitepaper, please bear in mind it is in its draft stage still:

Messaging in DarkSilk is a P2P (peer-to-peer) instant messaging system based upon ShadowChat which is in turn taken from Bitmessage, utilising state-of-the-art encryption technology to keep your communications private. All messages are encrypted by the proven AES-256-CBC algorithm, and distributed between nodes in such a way as to prevent the recipients of messages from being inferred by assailants utilising sophisticated traffic analysis, even if the assailants can view the entire network and/or run nodes of the network.

I have placed the Bitmessage reference at number 49 and ShadowChat as reference 50.

Because Rynomster has made changes to the code, it isn't as if he has done nothing.

I am of course not talking about the core but the overall chat within Shadow.

Could you please enumerate or highlight these "changes" regarding ShadowChat and Bitmessage.
Sincerely, CH

It was around the same time we were explaining how Shadowsend was mostly-uncredited Cryptonote clone, but few if any wanted to hear it.

EDIT: Oh lookie, it is on the old, now-locked, unmoderated thread.

OH GOD

WHAT HAVE I DONE? WHAT HAVE I BECOME?

…

I AM NO TROLL, just another lost soul with an extra grey cell.

To Rynomster,

You're a cold, big-balled Rambo saffer bastard to treat me thusly. I laid my heart on my sleeve for you. I fought DRK, XMR, BCN and countless others just for you and what I thought you'd made…

If I am wrong to judge you thusly then please step up and speak lest history forget your voice and remember mine in its place. Believe me or not I want peace even though some SDC bastards threw me to the lions.

Im still here, Im still singing.

I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul;
Dont think twice its alright.


PS thanks smooth
PPS enjoy the snifter rusty
PPPS Good luck with the kid WC
PPPPS LongAndShort & Ryno …
It was OK while it lasted but you children fucked it right up.

I threw SDC under a train and it got run over.

Adieu.

For incalculable hours I ignored family and friends to help promote a project (Shadow) that has always lied to me. I told you before this is my passion and not some hobby. You have no idea the lengths I went to discover that Shadowsend is not cryptonote only to discover that it is. I have been manipulated, abused and lied to…

I dont care how "nice" Ryno is… besides actions speak louder than words. He chose to swim with whales much as I have chosen to swim solo.

Ryno authored two outrageous copies of bitmessage and a copy of cryptonote WITHOUT ATTRIBUTION and has made untold $$$ at the expense of the gullible. Go easy on him you say? I dont f*cking think so dude.

And even if he was not the "prime mover" he is an accessory to the crime(s), facilitated the crime(s) and profited from the crime(s)!

What am I missing here smooth? Is there something you wanna tell me?

You speak of karma (or at least those in your circles sometimes do), well this is the karma bitch.

Ryno hasnt even manned up and posted in this thread… gimme one GOOD reason I should drop this matter.
Ripping off a white paper should be the 8th deadly sin, and he did it three times.

Were it a snake whose head needed removal I might perhaps (exhausted as I am) be interested. However since my adversary is a hydra without any humanity I will (for the time being) focus on its vehicle, a coder called Ryno.

ROFL , while they keep ignoring you they just shared the 5th update of the update of the last update of the coming update!

This is hilarious
