Please join us on Slack, if we're not around, there's a lot of community members that can help you out.

Setup for Windows is currently in testing and should be released soon.

Hi Ondin,

yes, an official roadmap is in preparation and will be released shortly.

In the meantime here's a brief summary that details our past and future developments:

how to setup node on windows?

Hi guys! I wanted to ask if by chance there are implementations in program, developments on your Shift project? there is a roadmap that you are following? thanks

I tried following the instructions to setup a node here:

https://github.com/shiftcurrency/shift

I can open the wallet and create a new wallet and it gives me a passphrase, but I can't login using it.
I kept pushing the confirm button in step 2/2 but nothing happens.

Can anyone help?

We got added almost immediately after launch last year and have been on Bittrex ever since

Trading was just disabled during the migration.

why was bittrex so late to add this coin to their exchange?

The last valid pow block will be set once we are closer to the end of the manual swap period.

DEVELOPMENT UPDATE OCT 13 | MANUAL SWAP


We've finished the details for the manual swap procedure. If you have a balance on the old chain, here's what you need to do:

1) Join us on Slack.

2) Have your address holding the coins on the old chain at hand. Please note, you have to be in control of those coins.

3) On Slack, message @crush stating how many coins need to be swapped, state your wallet address and send them to the wallet
    address that will be provided to you.

4) Supply an address on the new chain to which the swapped coins should be sent.

The swap period starts tomorrow morning, Oct 13th at 10am UTC, and will be open until Saturday, Oct 15th. As all swaps need to
be verified thoroughly and executed manually we ask you to be patient while we process your claim.

Balances on exchanges or pools are only eligible under special circumstances and need to be approved on a case by case basis.

Would be good to know what the last official block number is.

Blindly selling large amounts with disregard to the market conditions would generally not be in our best interest, I
guess we both understand the delicacy and careful attention a funding model like this needs to be treated with

ok good to know and you will just sell them whenever u need money on the market ?!?
will dump the price a lot....
i think a regular ICO would be a lot better.

The additional 2 Mill are newly generated development funds that allow us to hire additional developers to a) get
back quickly to the way things were and b) progress in a much faster pace on our roadmap (tba).

We had several long discussions about it and we decided that this is the best and last opportunity for us to create
an adequate fund system that would allow sustained development, especially given the increased availability of
experienced JS developers.

This is not something we did easily but we are not operating from the background of a successful ICO or with the
support of private investors, so "diluting" the total supply by 20% to achieve funding that will last for a long time
isn't pleasant but the only option available. We have accomplished more in 6 months on a shoestring budget than
comparable projects have accomplished with millions of dollars in funding. Any infrastructure like hosting, nodes,
servers have been paid from our own pocket.

It is also not something we are trying to hide as it has been pointed out a few days ago by a community member
in Slack and we were open about it then and we are open about it now. We just haven't found the time to release
a conclusive update about everything that has been going on yet.

and where do the new 2mio coins come from ? and who owns them now?

Both website and coinmarketcap are still querying the old chain / api and will be replaced very soon.

Msile answered your questions already but currently we're working on an official wallet comparable
to login.lisk.io and an official block explorer which are scheduled for release asap.

You can't really mine SHIFT anymore, the pow chain will stop over the next days after we finish the
manual swap. We came from being the first alternative Ethereum fork with a 12 month long history
of developments and mining to the point when we were forced to look for an alternative due to low
hashrate and vulnerability.

We just completed the migration to a customized fork of Lisk's codebase with delegated POS as the
consensus algorithm.

The midterm roadmap will see us bring back Phantom, our flagship product which we had in alpha
state on the old chain. Our main development lies in decentralized web, closely integrated with the
benefits of an underlying blockchain.

So far with our last Alpha release you were able to create a site, register a top level domain (e.g.
myblog.shift) with a smart contract and publish the default template to our fully meshed network.

The future will see a lot more applications in this direction like decentralized social media, easy to
use web site creators, secure messaging, decentralized markets and much more. All while offering
users the security of a free and resilient way to publish any content.

I hope that answers some questions. Apologies if the first page is missing crucial info but between
taking care of our community and organising the swap there's been little time to update the info on
all channels. We're currently working on that.

why does it say Supply: 8,052,428  on website + coinmarketcap ?

kinda missleading imo

At the moment ~10,100,000.

You can check on the block explorer anytime. Link is on the first page too

We came from a small community of ~70 members on Slack at the time we decided the number of delegates. Since we didn't want to fill all the spots with genesis delegates we opted for 51 at first. Over the course of the migration our Slack group has grown to 280+ members so we decided to use Lisk's default 101. As time progresses we will open up more delegate spots.
