For those that don't know what BIPs are, check out this link: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoin_Improvement_Proposals
They're code submitted to be integrated into the Bitcoin core. A few clicks on that page will take you to the summary of each one. I believe the SDC devs are planning to integrate 32, 39, and 44 to bring us hierarchical deterministic (HD) wallets.
What is an HD wallet? You can read more here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0032.mediawiki http://weilu.github.io/blog/2014/07/11/the-perks-of-being-an-hd-wallet/
Counterwallet is one example of an HD wallet but I know there are more.

I seriously doubt the market will be full of shit, It hasn't happened to any of the previous darkmarkets so don't know why it would start now even some of the markets that are almost unknown have quality stuff, most people selling on the darkweb have fairly high standards when it comes to quality and purity.
But it needs to have some kind of system that removes items that people show no interest well would be nice if possible.
Or just have a separate section of the market for items that get little interest or attention and vendors with bad trust ratings so it's not cramping up the items that do get a lot of attention and keeps the dishonest vendors from the honest ones, sort of like a naughty corner for useless items and untrustworthy vendors, your not censoring the market just arranging it in a way that i don't have to see those items and vendors if i don't want to, because most products and vendors will be legit but we want to keep everything looking nice and clean.

The ShadowMarket will appeal to much more than traditional "darkmarket" users...
Libertarians, AnCaps & Agorists would LOVE the opportunity to be able to buy & sell goods on a completely secure, decentralized, anonymous, TAX-FREE market.
This is the Holy Grail of Agorism.
Counter-economics is basically the idea that it is preferable & more ethical to keep one's financial transactions in the grey market, so as to not be supporting governments through taxation.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agorism Ideology
Agorism is considered a branch of, or a transition strategy for achieving, anarcho-capitalism, however Konkin characterized it as a form of left-libertarianism,.[2] Agorists generally consider themselves to be market anarchists. Agorists often oppose voting for political candidates and political reform. Instead, agorists stress the importance of alternative strategies rather than politics to achieve a free society. Agorists claim that we can achieve a free society more easily and sooner by employing such alternative methods as education, alternative currencies, entrepreneurship, self sufficiency, and most importantly "counter-economics".[1] Some agorists consider their message to be scientific because science is an appeal to reason, which they believe is only possible in a free market; these agorists argue that state-backed science is illegitimate, believing that it inherently involves an appeal to authority.[3]

There are tons of Libertarians out there...
Great post, thanks for sharing.
These are the kinds of discussions I would like to see here (rather than memes and insults).
Emphasizing the libertarian slant of the deep web markets will attract more investors and market participants. As you mentioned above, there is a lot of potential here to reach a wide audience beyond the "Silk Road" crowd - despite that being a massively lucrative niche as the Vice article pointed out.
I'm looking forward to reading the cryptography review by Isidor Zeuner. Is there an ETA for this?
I dont believe an ETA was put on the review. I'm also looking forward to reading it but very understanding that these things take time.
More importantly, dem bips tho.

i find it really funny to use technical analysis at such an immature altcoin market with such a low volume
one small whale, can ruin the formation buy selling couple of btc worth shadow
before you, there was a guy who was counting A-B-C-D pattern for shadow, and told him the same...
then he stopped following TA, because he also saw it is nonsence i gues
just 2 simple lines which shows the peaks and the bottoms...it is not TA
i dont count any pattern here... it just shows that it is about to break up or down
that guy was looking hourly bars which can be manupulated easily by whales
the graph i put is since the beginning of sdc and daily bars, it gives better idea
everybody can look at the graphs, but they all see different things
ps: you are a hardworking guy, you re trying to do your homework good, i like it.
"Technical Analysis is the forecasting of future financial price movements based on an examination of past price movements."
Don't worry, it doesn't take much hard work to expose your posts as nonsense.
did you check dictionary for the definition of TA
u re really talking nonsense, you have no idea what is TA, you are just a copy and paste guy

I'm used to CryptoNote coins and understand quite well how they function. I've tried using Shadow to compare, but the knowledge base in the internet is quite scattered. Could you answer my questions or point me to the place where I can get more info?
1. Are all transactions anonymous by default in Shadow? Is there anonymity level setting in the wallet?
2. Are there any faucets?
Thank you.

Shadow is quite different in the way CN functions.
1. To make an anonymous transaction, you use tokens called "SDT" .. you can convert your SDC to SDT and once you have these you can further send SDT to SDT or SDT back to SDC. <--- anything that involves a SDT is a anonymous transaction. You can set the anonymity level you want in the wallet during the transaction.
Please take a look here for an explanation : http://shadowcash.info/display/shadow/Transact+Anonymously
2. There used to be, but it seems they are dry or offline now. I will see if we can fire one up.
So basically when i withdraw sdc from exchanges it's not anonymous at all because only sdc are used not tokens ?
the point in this is to switch more and more to sdt as time passes i guess ? But exchanges will always use sdc right ?

Can someone tell me what happened mid march that brought about the sharp rise in the price of SDC?
The Race for a Decentralised Silk Road Is On – Motherboard.Vice
This article seemed to give us a lot of exposure outside of the crypto space and I think it is the major reason for the price rise.
Can someone tell me what happened mid march that brought about the sharp rise in the price of SDC?
ok, so i have messaged AboutShadow twice now with my SDC addy, for them to send me my winnings from the competition, and have heard nothin at all. On the post on Monday, they said they would be contacting the winners to obtain the sdc addy's on that day. I have not heard a thing. whats going on? I never won anything before, and was really exited to win some sdc.
Check your wallet, should be 883.51572784 sdc MORE fatter.
... -_-

Edu contacted all the winners today/yesterday (except the one with fb account) via twitter I think. He said he got answer from one winner earlier today, perhaps you or not, but didn't give me any address yet. I have your sdc right here and you'll get it once I receive the addresses to send the winnings to, just be patient. Sorry for the delay, but even in the national lottery, at least in here where I live, you need to wait 30 days to receive the jackpot sized wins, I'll promise we'll be faster than that
