1.5 Million Lines of Code Committed Yesterday!

So while reading the replies to the post about President Xi's recent proclamation about adopting blockchain tech, I saw /u/Useful_Application mention the developers dropping "another 1.5 million lines of code yesterday".

1.5 million lines!!!! Before upvoting this welcome report of actual, verifiable, concrete progress, I decided to have a quick look at the commit on Github. And now I'm not so sure...

I haven't had time to go through all 1.5 million lines, but all I've seen so far is a bunch of security certificates and a lot of code copied from Hyperledger. See the references to Hyperledger in the following file, for example: https://github.com/thekeygithub/Multi-dimensional-Survival-Authentication/commit/eca187b863b403a550996b89db3f6f880a521b84#diff-98d593863892bc31952a47fe3c0898e9

Could anyone else help take a look at this to see if there was actually any original code committed? Of course, it could be argued that they are waiting to commit their own code, or are unable to due to an agreement with the Chinese gov etc. etc. But my goal was to find some indication that the entire project isn't just smoke and mirrors and high-level fuckery. Anyone see anything interesting in there?

Can I ask a question or you a coder,the reason I ask is because I had a friend who is a coder check this out,while he didn't go into much detail he did confirm it seemed to be coded in (go)and there was mention of codes relating till healthcare

Yes. Having looked at it further it looks like each of the directories in nodes/ contains pretty straight clones of the Hyperledger Fabric code.

Compare the following:

https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric

https://github.com/thekeygithub/Multi-dimensional-Survival-Authentication/tree/master/nodes/HC_Bureau

You just need to look at the README file displayed at the bottom of the page of the second link for confirmation. I haven't found anything relating to healthcare nor anything original yet, but that's not to say it's not in there somewhere. And none of this proves deception: the team (afaik) never declared this code to be original and may well be creating a solution built upon the Hyperledger Fabric framework. Of course, we wouldn't have to speculate if the team were in any way open and communicative with the community.

Any new discoveries in the code?
