Proof that the code on GitHub is the one you use

How can you proof that the code in GitHub is the code you are hosting?

not sure i fully understand your question… but if you don’t want to use the run.sh file and the docker image that the core dev team pre-built to make it convenient for validators… you can just download the source code from github, build it, and launch a node that way.

In open-source projects I always have this issue where I imagine that maybe the owners of the project are distributing a modified version of the source-code. How can someone proof that the final project is actually compiled from the original source-code?

It depends on which aspect of Incognito network you’re referring to.

For vNodes it’s simple to look through the run.sh file. See what files it’s grabbing and then dig through the file contents that it pulls from github.

For pNodes they are releasing the source code soon and if you feel that the code provided is not what they have on their github then you could install the code after reviewing it on github.

As for the Incognito phone app I do not believe they are going to release it due to security risks or other issues that may bring up.
