Sorry to disappoint but there was no serious attention. Shen identified the potential pitfall while working on something else decided to look at existing ring signature implementations he could find to see if any of them had the bug. Both OZcoin and Shadow seemed to have it. It's possible he missed something too, and Shadow is protected in some manner, although it doesn't really look that way (the code posted here doesn't seem to fix it). I guess we'll see after further attention is given to it.

Another assumption by Smooth and Co. So he happened to be working on something else and just decided to create a blog (who's only post is dedicated to this FUD) and reddit post and a ton of other bad PR around his assumption which turned out to be incorrect and again you backed him even though he had no proof. slowclap.gif. You have really dug another hole again for Monero Smooth. And then quoting the guy that called me a "Jewish rat". Way to keep it classy Smooth!

"Sorry to disappoint but there was no serious attention" no kidding just an ignorant PR blast from Monero. You guys have changed. Makes me feel like I need to dump the Aeon I hold.

If he can, I think that It's best that SDC Devs know about it and fix it, pay him the bounty, and thank him for finding the bug. Thats why a bounty exists, to find bugs and stomp them.

If he cannot actually deanonymize a transaction, then I'd say Monero will take a beating for this.  

Popcorn time.  

My logic goes over your head frequently. It's ok pobrecito. I'll do the research that historically you have been incapable of. Got any more brain twisters like, "Does shadow have tor?" that I can answer for you, again?

No, my best shot was proving you are a moron a couple times over. Reality proves you are a racist that is unloved by the people around you. I feel sorry for you. And citing Sigmund Freud then misspelling his name? Sigh, how stereotypical you morose non-contributing zero.

Freud, Froyd, Droid... I cannot care less for propaganda cretins like you and this one. Have a nice night! 

code: Almost all of you have been acting childish, borderlining at the edge of uncivilized. I don't even know where to begin if I were to dissect each action individually. I don't like the tone of these seemingly two communities clashing against each other. It's a poor minority of each community with a some personal vendetta's against each other trying to wage a war. To me, it shows that some people, on either side, don't care about the goal of either project and that is financial privacy.  A goal that drives all the developers and cryptographers behind the scenes of anonymous coins. The true open source mentality is ruined in the altcoin scene, open source used to be 'you made something based on our work? Cool  tell me all about it'. When some people put money in it and the capitalistic mindset makes either side demonize their "competitors". The truth is ShadowCash plays a niche market of the decentralized markets, which  Monero isn't. One of the many reason why I hate this forum so much. The illusion of competition when you're not even playing the same game. I doubt the exchange rate will drop because of it, most people are here for other features anyways. Except for some traders that get scared way too fast. The project's cryptocoin comes in second and even if the bug is real, it still provides decent anonymity at the same level of Bitcoin. (Not trying to make the possible bug looks like a cosmetic error, it could be critical to the protocol). Some people will lose their mind about the previous two sentences, guaranteed. To keep it short, the cryptographer of Monero did a good thing reporting the possible bug, ofcourse their community will take some childish stabs at ShadowCash, no need to escalate an argument into flame wars because some troll feeders got the best of you. Anonymity prevents censorship but also enables keyboard warriors, on either side of the communities.

Thanks!  That does make things more clear.  Looks like github comments is a much more civilized world than here.  Go figure.

I depends on the size of the anonymous transactions. It can be interesting to implement the tech that has the smallest one.

I hope SDC will come out from this XMR attack as strong as before!
