I am confused. Is the present ShadowCash release opensource, or not?
Part of it is.
See comment from ryno above regarding the verification code (good)
Some are selling (before block 257,000) because of the closed source spend code (scary)
LOL.
Look like someone is trying to buy cheap SDC ^^
What makes you think someone asking for the spend code to be open sourced means they want to buy cheap SDC?
Maybe some people just want to know there are no potential vulnerabilities in the code. The SDC dev team seems to be very competent. However smart people can make mistakes.
Look at what happened at blockchain.info this week despite all their coders, good intentions and VC money. Asking for code should not be viewed as FUD or a personal attack.
I understand that SDC may not want others to copy their coin (like others copied their stealth address code) but the 1st will always be the leader. Copycats cannot be prevented. Many have copied BTC and BTC remains the leader. Many have copied the cryptonote code and XMR (first fair launch) and BCN are FAR ahead of all later copycats.
SDC will remain the leader for this version of ZK tech once it is proves, even when/if others copy it. Without going open source, there are huge risks to all SDC holders which some are not willing to accept. This is an important moment for the future direction of SDC
