And who are you Lock_N_Load?

Tell Ritchie to check his email - an email was sent to both support and him personally.

The network is currently experiencing what looks like a malicious miner trying to flood the blockchain.

Bittrex has disabled the wallet as a precautionary measure. We are investigating and working alongside Bittrex on mitigating the issue.

We are monitoring the progress and are actively trying to find a solution.

Bittrex suspended trading of shift.

What's going on?


Richie share some info please.

Can the dev team please contact us asap? 

thanks

I'm not sure I understand the question completely, but anyone on the network is able to view the sites
you create as soon as you publish it and they visit your site's hash address / domain. The content isn't
locked to your pc, it gets distributed to your next peers and to every visitor of your site.

So as soon as you publish, it gets propagated on Phantom, you can go anywhere in the world, download
the software and view your site, as can anyone else.

Viewing a site on the network requires a running instance of Phantom on any other PC you want to view
the site on, for now. We want users to use and experience Phantom to see what it can do and how easy
it is to handle (once it has reached maturity).

That being said, we will eventually be creating proxies to forward from the regular Internet so anyone
can access sites from anywhere. You could also run your local instance on port 80, open to the public
and forward yourself locally.

Hope that answers your questions. Feel free to let me know if there's any doubts left

Awesome progress shift.

But if I want to see the website outside my local machine...how would I do that?

Also in the future will anyone be able to view websites we create (with no phantom running) or will they be required to run the phantom to view them?

This release covers the basic implementation for domain name registry and forwarding
through smart contracts to simplify user interaction with Phantom, as well as a simple
data publishing functionality, at the moment displaying a template site stating the site's
hash address. Response time for Phantom has been improved tremendously by porting
existing ajax calls to websockets.

Domain registration can currently be done for the *.shift domain ending for a small fee
of 0.006 SHIFT which is awarded to the miner mining the contract. Alternatively a site
can also be published under an auto-generated hash address for free. Future releases
will see the addition of more domain endings, e.g. *.blog, *.market or even *.com.

To use the new functionality please log into Phantom as usually and choose "My Sites"
from the menu on the left. The registration and site publishing process is fairly straight
forward but should you encounter any problems feel free to reach out to us.

You can find the new release here.

We welcome everyone to try out this release and register some domains. As previously
noted we are still in Alpha release stage. Though thoroughly tested, we appreciate any
bug reports, ideally via PM to this account or on Slack.

Please check back regularly over the coming days as we have a few more exciting
updates lined up to improve marketing and communication.

Awesome to hear Shift Team I have been following the commits to phantom on github and you guys have some exciting things coming soon. Keep up the great work.

DEVELOPMENT UPDATE #4 | AUG 14



Time has been passing and we have been silent but things have been progressing steadily over the last weeks since
the last release. Looking at what we have accomplished so far and the team we have built we feel now is the best
time to carry our vision towards the public, increasing interest into our product as we move closer to a state where
developments can really showcase the idea behind SHIFT and Phantom.

Starting this will be a new release available over the next days (likely early this week) containing some incredibly
useful features as outlined below.

Going forward from here we will be targeting increased efforts into marketing, while still remaining a fast pace
for development releases.

• SHIFTHUB
  
  The upcoming release for ShiftHub will see two additions: a simple site creation wizard that helps users easily
  deploy a template on Phantom, as well as our dns implementation utilizing a smart contract that will simplify
  browsing Phantom. Instead of cryptic hash addresses users can simply register a name similar to traditional
  top level domains, i.e. myblog.shift. We are looking to expand the list of domain endings to reflect the classic
  structure of the world wide web (commercial, organisations, etc.).
  
  Site creation will currently be limited to a simple template, but we are looking at several options to help users
  create and publish high end websites with easy to use building tools, able to compete with any modern website.
  

• PHANTOM
  
  To increase response time when completing different actions on ShiftHub, Ajax calls for the GUI were replaced
  with websockets to make it much faster. User experience when interacting with Phantom and ShiftHub should
  feel no different than using fast responding software on your local machine.
  

• IMPROVED ANN THREAD
  
  We have talked to a select number of community members and have listened to your requests and feedback.
  Over the next days we will roll out an improved first page for our thread containing much more information
  about our project, our intent and our short and long term goals. The update will go live within the next days.
  

• TWITTER CAMPAIGN
  
  As previously hinted at we will be starting a viral marketing campaign on Twitter where you can win coins
  in return for promoting SHIFT among your followers. Please note that this will not be a standard giveaway
  and has been in preparation for some time. The campaign will start after the previously mentioned releases.
  

Hi adhittana,

that isn't an easy to answer questions, because apart from the underlying economic or ideological decisions, as pointed out one post prior, there's no real comparison benchmark to apply and I don't like seeing both the projects as competing investments. It's like you're asking how a car compares to a phone. The argument often given by us as a measure of development quality and quantity is that we have a lot more contributions to our codebase than the other Ethereum forks, which would be the only hard fact you could base a comparison on.

As for the soft facts: I am not really keeping up with Expanse's development in detail, but personally I'm not too optimistic about a blockchain governance system in a real world scenario due to the legal framework surrounding it, whereas I can always see our consumer facing product of a decentralized, uncensorable and most of all free blockchain based internet apply to user demand on a global scale. And besides, the possibility of adopting similar functionality like Expanse, Factom or Augur is on the table for SHIFT and makes much more sense as we can offer a greater level of decentralization.

I gave the following insight to a community member in our Slack recently.


[11:21]
shift is building a complete infrastructure of user hosted web services attached to a blockchain
[11:22] 
as it is now, if you want to host a website or blog or your own shop, you would have to go to a domain provider, buy a domain, get web space, pay rent, etc.
[11:23] 
with shift this service will be "shifted" to the users
[11:23] 
e.g. anyone running phantom is both user as well as web space provider for phantom
[11:24] 
when you create a site on phantom, the content gets distributed across the whole network, your "domain" is your wallet's public key, alternatively you will be able to register a top level domain (e.g. myblog.shift) for a very small fee to avoid spam
[11:24] 
now when someone visits your site, they download the content from you
[11:25] 
this happens with several users, the more ppl visit your website the more it will be stored across the network
[11:25] 
so at some point when ppl visit your site, they won't be downloading the content from you but from their next peers
[11:26] 
now this is the basic idea and it will enable us to bring marketplaces, shops, blogs and all kinds of sites to phantom, while simultaneously using the benefits of our native blockchain token


I hope that gives you an idea what SHIFT is and how we see ourselves compared to other projects.

If you have any further questions, feel free to join us on Slack for a little chat

EXP:
-ETH fork
-80% coins hidden (http://www.expanse.tech/explorer/account/0xbb94f0ceb32257275b2a7a9c094c13e469b4563e)
-closed source

SHF:
-ETH fork
-fair
-open source

Franco (owner of this closed-source project named Expanse) have 10.000.000 premined coins (80% of all EXP coins) kept at so called DAO account. Premined coins waiting to be dumped -> http://www.expanse.tech/explorer/account/0xbb94f0ceb32257275b2a7a9c094c13e469b4563e
Coinmarketcap shows fake total number of coins and fake marketcap.

Can you see the difference?

How does Shift compare to Expanse?
I own both coins, and am not interested in mudslinging, just a simple comparison.

Thanks

Reminder: Soon, we'll be starting a viral game on Twitter with a lot of SHIFT to win, so if you intend to play, make sure you have an account. The more followers you have, the better...

Join our Slack for your problem with Bitcause, you'll get help from them directly, and I can assure you that it will be solved since bitcause team is made of great guys.
As for pools being down. I clicked the first 5 links in OP, and all are up, at least the sites are. Everyone can verify that on their own...

I left ETC to do EXP..which is good, but takes a lot of hashing to pay a little Expanse...I went to shift again (mined it before)...almost none of the pools are working...I went to Bitcause and have 396 Shift 'stuck' there...I see others have abandoned that pool with balances unpaid too. Not sure you can help, but I liked this coin from the beginning...can you get my coins from Bitcause?? Also, now I'm on some obscure Russian pool with one other worker?? Where are the pools? Is this coin just about to die? I searched for ages to get a pool to mine on...hope this one pays out my coins...I don't want to waste another 12 hours mining only to have my coins 'stuck' on a pool...also, Suprnova pool has been 'down' for Shift for over a day doing 'maintenance'...I feel this coin may be on it's last legs...is that right? Please tell us so us miners don't waste our hashing on a coin that is not being supported, but is dying...a list of actual working pools would be greatly appreciated...I see the coin is still listed on Bittrex..which doesn't surprise me..they aren't discriminating in what coins they support. Shift is a coin (like ETC) that I want to like...but seems terribly neglected by the devs and pools.

That's a very generous move, happy to see there's still integrity in crypto

Hey guys,

I found a flaw in my mpos implementation that actually paid out some rounds too low, i'm currently going through my database and  I'm re-crediting the accounts that actually missed some coins so you should have some nice plus balances within the next 2-3  days ! Stay tuned and thanks for patience !

Hi Msile,
not yet, but that's on our todo list

Where can I find a rich list?
