Charles Hoskinson (Cardano) Suggests that Tron (TRX) Should Switch to Mantis Posted on June 30, 2018 by admin in Uncategorized // 0 Comments
Charles Hoskinson suggests Mantis: Last week, Tron (TRX) was heavily criticized as developers outside of the project discovered that most of the code on Tron’s platform had been taken from Ethereum’s EthereumJ library.
Tron celebrated its ‘Independence Day’ from Ethereum on the 25th, but ironically it wasn’t independent from the project at all. While the ERC20 TRX token was made irrelevant by being switched over to the Tron main net, the project still has a large chunk of codebase taken directly from Ethereum.
One Twitter commented on the copied code and said: I don’t think 76 previously unreferenced uses of EthereumJ constitutes as a “very small thing.” This technology was built on the basis of transparency; there’s nothing wrong with copying code, as long as you attribute it to its creators and don’t try and sell it as something new. https://t.

Not all cryptocurrency projects on the market have built their code from the ground up, such as Cardano has done. The issue with what Tron did lies specifically with not attributing the code to its original source – especially since Tron and its founder, Justin Sun, were so boldly broadcasting the project’s ‘breakaway’ from Ethereum.
Not to mention this infamous tweet where Justin Sun compares how Tron is ‘better’ than Ethereum. Why #TRON is better than #ETH : 1. 10000TPS vs. 25TPS 2. zero fee vs.
high fee 3.
consistent Coinburn vs. no coinburn 4. Java vs.
Solidity 5. strong extensibility vs.
no ex.
6. 1 billion USD developers rewards vs. no plan 7. 100 million users vs. small number #TRX $TRX pic.twitter.com/WvxH5EToa8

If you have improved on an original idea, that’s great, but you have to give credit where credit is due.
Can’t waltz around like you created the entire thing. Charles Hoskinson Suggests Mantis @justinsuntron you guys should use our mantis client instead of Ethereum Java
