First Bitcoin based coin that I have ever come across that does not allow the USE_UPNP=- flag.

UPnP has had some pretty major vulnerabilities in the past and almost certainly still has some. The convenience, for me, is not worth the security risk however slight that might be.

I will wait until the USE_UPNP=- flag is hopefully restored.

Yeah you will need to install that; You can disable it post install.
IIRC the reason was related to Android wallet integration ... for the moment it is required during install.

First batch of ShadowMarket questions is answered here: http://aboutshadow.com/index.php/shadowmarket/q-a

Tried that already:


Don't want to install UPnP.

Why was the use of USE_UPNP disabled?

Compile without the "USE_UPNP" parameter.

They should be proud to have so many impassioned voices in this community. I too am interested in the tech, hence my disappointment we dont have you know what yet.

Thanks for the update ryno


i.e. shut up slave

Calling Kristov Atlas…

Got this error on the latest source.


Any ideas?

ohhh After all that bitching an update..how ironic   well done team once again you silence the haters, always a pleasure to be part of this revolution you are unfolding, YEAH THAT'S RIGHT REVOLUTION !!
The internet was the equivalent of the printing press.
And SDC will be the equivalent of the shot heard around the world.
welcome to the renaissance 2.0

thanks for the hard work guys!

Thanks for the update
i think this means also, market release will be in 2-4 Months  

Awesome update.  Your hard work is truly appreciated.  Keep up the good work Ryno, and team.

Update: Thursday, June 11 2015

It’s time for another development update to bring you up to speed with recent changes in the Shadow project. For the past weeks our development efforts were mostly focused on bip32 development, adding security improvements to ShadowCore and working on ShadowMarkets front-end. We expect some exciting development updates in the upcoming month. For now, let’s look at the changes implemented last month.

-Added new HTML address lookups and edit dialogues
-Added new HTML sign and verify dialogues
-Removed qt address, sign and verify dialogues
-Added preparations for gitian builds

Security Update

In light of the unfortunate incidents involving crypto malware hacks; going forward before we release any further Shadow updates we are implementing gitian builds into our releases so that we can distribute safe and secure executables to prevent any fake builds going out to the public for the purpose of malicious activity. We strongly advice you only download from official websites and if in doubt double check.

ShadowMarket Development

Due to the recent unfortunate malware hacks in the crypto community we decided the work we were doing on ShadowCore including the addition of hierarchical deterministic (HD) wallet required more time and resources to ensure that it was ready to support services such as “hardware wallet” in the future. This involved going back to the drawing board and redesigning the implementation. The good news is that once complete this will be the first native implementation of a hierarchical deterministic wallet within the satoshi forked codebase. In the mean time our developers are getting closer to finishing the front-end (html/css/js) of ShadowMarket and are building the best user-interface experience. Our goal is to finish the ShadowMarket front-end before the end of Q2 so that we can show you a sneak preview of how everything will work.

ShadowMarket Q&A and Roadmap

To answer some of your questions, we have answered a first round of questions that you asked us during the ShadowMarket Q&A last month. The answers can now be found on on the ShadowMarket section of our website. To summarize all progress and make things easier to understand we have created a very clear roadmap for ShadowMarket. As we progress we will actively update this roadmap so that everybody can follow exactly where we are in terms of progress.

Upcoming Releases

Our Android wallet (ShadowGo) is nearing a beta testing stage. QT5.5 beta just got released which, with its new qtwebengine will make everything much easier and faster to develop and get out onto the Android platform. The new version of ShadowGo will include the following new features:

-Latest HTML5 Interface
-Thin mode (lite wallet)
-Anonymous Chat
-Anonymous Transactions

That covers our development updates for this week. If you have any questions regarding recent or upcoming changes you can contact us via IRC, slack, shadowtalk or github.

The Shadow Team
Rynomster (lead developer)

God these last few pages have been painful to read through.

Here's what I'll say to anyone complaining; the devs don't own you anything, they don't owe you a finished product, they don't owe you an update.

Everyone that is here is a leech that is hoping they can get rich quick off of the hard work of others that are more talented than themselves, myself included.  Now stop complaining.

They may a release today, or tomorrow, could be next month, or next year.  I can wait, I am a patient man, and the devs of this coin have proved themselves, so I know that whatever, whenever we see, will be worth the wait.

If you cannot stand waiting, if you are too impatient, then dump your coins and leave quietly, show some basic human decency, have some dignity.  Stop cluttering this forum with this crap.

Exactly. I don't think blaming anyone is the right thing to do though. However, if anything blame shitty investors looking for quick profits and scapegoats. They care less about privacy and more about their portfolio gains. The motherboard/vice article was a big motivator for the team to follow up and deliver since it put the project timetable on a worldwide scale. Some people here are too short sighted to see the potential of delivery. Not just from a profit level but also from a disruption level. This is a long term project for me. I have full faith in the team direction and capability. The frontend and print design work here is on par with a fortune 500 company and the development team is up there with the best of the best in the tech world. If anyone here doesn't have faith, they should exit and take their baggage elsewhere. There's plenty of shitcoin developers and pump groups waiting to take your btc off your hands for similar promises.

Lol, guys wtf, stop with this shitstorm stuff.  How do you think the devs feel reading this?  Everyone is caring about the price and just making money. For me that is a side issue. I am more interested in the technology than making money, although since I got into this project the price has about tripled.  

Bottom line, this is one of the highest quality alt-coin projects out there.  The market is going to be a huge step for economic freedom.  The Zeuner thing sucks, but don't blame the Shadow team for that.  Blame Zeuner if anything.  I don't think they should really need to provide documentation when the code is open sourced.  Look at the cryptonote white paper, its very well done, but they wrote the white paper before the code was ever implemented in bytecoin.  For this project it was writing the code before the whitepaper, so I don't really agree that the team is at fault for not providing enough documentation.  I think there are more important places to put energy than documentation.  It is what it is, and frankly I am pretty impressed with what this team has delivered already.

Lets have some respect for these devs who put in a huge amount of time and energy into this project.  They are talented developers and this is the best anon-coin project out there.  This shitstorm stuff does not do anything to motivate the devs to work hard.  They will be much more likely to deliver if the community gives them the respect they deserve.  We should be donating to them and encouraging them, not this stuff which will probably make them want to quit. They are advancing the tech that allows for freedom, and privacy.  That is more valuable to me than any price of a SDC.

I'm the guy calling you out for your bullshit. Do the math if you can afford to hire them. According to the rough average calculation I have the backend development hours running anywhere from $120,000 or roughly 500BTC ($50/hour w\ 3 C++ devs) to $240,000 roughly 1080BTC ($100/hour w\ 3 C++ devs) USD over the last 5 months. Thats based on a 40 hour week and right now the devs are clocking in way more hours than that. That's also not including design work, frontend development, mobile development, research, tech support, planning, media relations. If you have the capital to fund them based on those averages then by all means step up and contribute because the total amount of donations since the projects inception 11 months ago is about 1% of that. If not, then STFU and let them decide what they feel is a priority for their skill sets.

ok, i will hire...i am serious...tell ryno to contact me

seriously, i dont know who the fcuk you are...beacuse like a kiddo u re changing ur nick

i really want to hire them, if it is ok for ryno, tv, crz...that is all

As soon as the documentation topic became an issue it was discussed in the IRC channel. The overwhelming majority of the community stated they wanted the marketplace developed. The team isn't responsible for your memory loss.

I shouldn't even honor your post with a response since you didn't take the time to read my previous posts or research the history leading up to right now. You came into this project what 6 months ago and started spewing your opinions in here like they are the word of god.

Bottom line is the team here works on community donations, their own investments in this project and a drive to innovate the space. Nothing else. If you want to hire them and be their boss you would also have to start paying them. End of story. If not, then STFU and let them decide what they should and shouldn't do with their development hours and project direction. Constructive feedback, negative or positive, from the community has always been welcome here. Insulting the team because of their decision to focus on development is a slap in the face for a group of people working without wages and are the driving factor behind investor profits.

gameofcoins,

there is a perfect uptrend at shadow price, that is why i put  that graph.

this trend should be supported with news, otherwise we will lose the momentum

about review, that voting u offer now should have done before at the beginning

since people donated for that review, then let them decide by voting, but not now after 6 months

there are dictators here at the dev team

people here at this community are like sheeps, they afraid to say something negative for sdc

there re pros and cons, it is normal

Well, I must've made a big impression on you if you remember my name. Thanks mate.
