Hi D-Lux,

Lisk is a blockchain network just like Ethereum that gives developers the tools needed to create D-APPS
in several programming languages. Both Lisk and Ethereum are more or less "just" developing the basic
framework to give developers a possibility to write, test and deploy applications on the blockchain.

Shift is a fork of Ethereum (the first of its kind, launched in August 2015). We offer all the functionality
from Ethereum and full D-APP compatibility to it. Our flagshipp application is decentralized Internet, in
its mature state complete with servers, search engines, forums, email and more (compare to Maidsafe's
Safe Network).

There is much more to Shift than that, so I suggest you join our Slack if you're interested to know
more about us and our community.

Shift allows you to make DApps that are compatible with Ethereum so they can be easily ported both ways, but also allows you to host them in a decentralized manner, thanks to Phantom.

That means, let's say you want to create a casino dapp for example, that's just an example, I don't specifically encourage anyone to do that, but it's possible... And in that case, you don't have all the hurdles you would have to create a casino in real life.

Now cryptocurrencies are a grey area in most countries and are not considered as money in most, so it's a sensitive topic I admit and laws might evolve, it's another topic though...

In addition, if you wish your players to easily find your casino, you can create a domain name like casino.shift for a small fee.

You may think these features are not available yet? Wrong! You can do that right now! (domains are still in alpha phase though, and will be reset once released)

Sorry, as you can guess, recent events have disrupted our planned operations, but it's coming, don't worry. Probably in the next 2-3 days.

and? anything happened or it is just idle talk?

Apologies for the noob question, but could someone please ELI5 the main differences between SHF and EXP and LSK?

If you follow Shift's github repo (https://github.com/shiftcurrency/shift), it clear that the developers are making an effort to keep up to date with relevant patches in the Ethereum code.

The state of other coins is possible to determine if you check their source repositories... For coins that follow Ethereum's version numbers scheme, comparing that to Ethereum's recent stable version could be a good gauge of efforts to maintain the code. (for example the output of admin.nodeInfo )

Hi Atomjuice,

user balances on Bittrex are in order, this has nothing to do with the exchange or any missing coins.

It is only a measure taken due to the events that happened on Shift and Krypton. We can't share any knowledge we have on the situation with KR as it is their business, but I can guarantee your SHIFT are safe on Bittrex, if you sent them there. Our chain is moving as it should be and Bittrex's audit system does not reveal any missing balances.

Mining to an exchange address is generally not a good idea, maybe you can switch to a pool or preferably solo mining in the meantime.

If you need help setting up a solo mining operation please get in touch on Slack.

the coins aren't missing, when Bittrex is done their maintenance the coins will show up in your Bittrex wallet until then it'll show your old balance, which seems to be pretty standard, but then again you never know, I haven't got a clue what the hang up is usually it's a few hours, but Krypton too? odd. but they did tweet that it would be up to 24h.

I stopped mining both Shift and Krypton...and am thinking the curious silence of Bittrex is not a good sign at all.

What is going on? The 'maintenance' of 24 hours on Bittrex is turning into 2 days now?? This is not looking good. I also had 100 Shift mined from a pool sent to Bittrex...they aren't in the pool, and they aren't in Bittrex....but it shows they were sent somewhere...wonder where?? I think if the team doesn't get this under way, selling will start...also, I'm wondering if this is not just an issue with Shift, but with Bittrex..as Krypton has been down too for the same amount of time...I have 'lost coins' in no man's land supposed to be in Bittrex from a pool there too...nothing..nowhere...not on the pool, or Bittrex...thank goodness, not many.

Nothing in paricular. What is your skillset?

These two coins are essentially (or were), the last two decent POW coins out there...look at all the new coins...either POS (which you need to buy into and wait around for 'interest' while others gain the real 'interest' off your invested funds in fiat), or ICO's (just an alliance term in concert with POS)...which is just a money grab by people attempting something just below a ponzi scheme in decency...POW is dying...might as well just return to our 'old' centralized banks and fiat currencies...because if POW dies, decentralization and private mining dies with it....all we are left with are just 'virtual currencies' we buy with fiat, that make somebody too lazy to work on a real crypto rich. Maybe the 'halving' of bitcoin is now having it's real effect: the coins move towards centralization as the difficulty increases (and fewer mine them)...which leads to Bitcoin just a virtual 'reserve currency' serving exactly the same function as the US$, but controlled largely by enormous mining farms here in China...while we all are sweeping the floor now for 'dust' of bitcoin. The next result has been the explosion of ICO's and POS coins that are just 'issued' and we just trade 'fiat' for their 'online fiat'...I fear the days of this crypto decentralized financial dream are nearing an end...and like any ponzi scheme, leave a few at the top with bags of wealth..and the rest of us with work and effort collecting the dust of wealth that 'trickles down'...

personally, I like shift, but I find it very strange that both (ethereum forked coins) Krypton and Shift are both having 'wallet issues' on Bittrex at exactly the same time. One notice says: 'Wallet disabled for maintenance'--Shift Bittrex wallet, the other says: 'wallet is under maintenance'--Krypton...now...these messages appear similar, but clearly are not. One is 'disabled for maintenance, the other is just 'under maintenance'...but the effect is exactly the same to us mining or sending coins to Bittrex to these two coins: they aren't being sent. Simple. Where are they going?? I don't know...and the 'short' period of time has long since passed as I have seen that time period come and go. Also, my pools say the coins have been 'sent', but they aren't even 'pending deposit' on bittrex in either coin (I mine both). So, I see two things happening: 1) people are selling now at the last highest price and getting out before any further excuses arise..like 'oh, we're sorry, but your coins are 'lost'...and 2) nobody is (or can send) mined coins to these wallets on Bittrex. With the Orwellian doublespeak of 'under maintenance' and 'disabled for maintenance'...I for one am 'shifting' to mine other coins...and also am ceasing to mine both coins as a 'proactive measure' to secure my 'interests'...I have coins lurking somewhere out there...for both currencies...supposed to be going to Bittrex, but clearly they are 'sent', but not to Bittrex...I think it's time to ask Bittrex, Krypton, and Shift for a clear explanation along the lines of 'hey guys, what's really up??' But, hey, that's just me..I was mining during the Mt Gox 'consolations that 'all was well' until it wasn't....once bitten by a snake, one is fearful of a rope...

any bounty for this coin?

this coin team is really impressive. You are doing great job! How it is possible that SHF marketcap is only $ 188,614, while Expanse coin (including 10 mil hidden coins) has $ 6,300,000 marketcap (33x times more) ?

DEVELOPMENT UPDATE AUG 25 | SECURITY UPDATE


We are currently working on an update to GShift that will mitigate potential attack vectors exposed in
the recent incident and have come to an agreement with Bittrex to suspend any transactions for a very
short time.

We are working closely with them to patch any possible vulnerabilities for SHIFT, while simultaneously
assisting in sharing as much insight as possible so others can benefit from this as well.

Please note that there has been no new attack or any cause for concern, this is just a routine measure
to stay on the proactive, instead of reactive side of things.

The release should be available after testing over the next 24 hours.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask here or join us on Slack.

Never mind, I see it's 4miners

What pool is this?  Are you sure it's a pool? 

Have been on miners-zone since the beginning when not mining solo. :-)

This is exactly what we want please join our slack and tell us more about your ideas, we need you. Basically we want to make ethereum/shift usable by everyone, not just a few tech nerds. This is the goal with the UI.
