On the web of SDC i've read: "The ShadowCash team have stopped working on the Shadow Project. They are now working on a new and improved project called Particl". Someday soon we read: "The Particl team have stopped working on the Particl Project. They are now working on a new and improved project called ShitCoin".
You have to ask Dadon. My friend Zemmer, which he ows quite some money, told me he is a master of deceivery. Just remember that everything he tells is BS, in fact I thinking he is from the other side (preference wise). Now regarding the swap.
It did happen and looking at the state of blocktix we will see Rhyno do more updates now.
Some of the particl team did feel it was gig time and left particl. but with the hacks happening expect them working again on part again.
The current wallet is a joke (yes they worked months on a bitcoin wallet, replacing icons and stuff).
Speaking of being deceitful...this post is misinformation and FUD.
Some of the particl team did feel it was gig time and left particl. but with the hacks happening expect them working again on part again.
This is simply not true. It has never been a secret that Ryno is also working on BlockTix and he never left Particl for BlockTix. This is a lie.
The current wallet is a joke (yes they worked months on a bitcoin wallet, replacing icons and stuff).
This statement is incredibly short-sighted. They released the qt wallet because investors wanted to trade the coin now and didn't want to wait for the Angular wallet that is coming in a week or two. So what they did with qt was a quick fix.
Currently, the qt wallet does offer a CT implementation on the Bitcoin codebase which in itself is no small feat. They also successfully launched a 100% PoS coin with no prior PoW, so that required quite a lot of testing internally to make sure things went as smoothly as possible.
On the cli wallet, there is also a completely private messaging protocol and a decentralized voting/governance system.
They are just about to release the Angular/Electron wallet with widgets, are currently testing an implementation of RingCT on the Bitcoin codebase (a first time in crypto, and already available on testnet for anyone to play with). On top of that, they are building a fully decentralized and anonymous marketplace which I guess you can figure out is quite the undertaking. They are also in contact with NJIT to debut a third-party audit of the RingCT protocol. Other stuff the team is working on or will work shortly after MP MVP release includes fiat gateways, web portals, mobile wallet with all the desktop functionalities, and eventually other Dapps other than the marketplace.
So to be honest with you, saying they worked MONTHS just to create a bitcoin-qt wallet with different icons is extremely short-sighted and probable disinformation in the purest sense of the word. You can literally go see their github for yourself and you will come to realize that this team is working on much more than redesigning a qt wallet... (

Finally, I highly recommend you go read my article on Particl to know what features it packs/will pack (
