and now the witch hunt begins in the U.S

So The Thunder will start in 15min?

Warm welcome!

Let us know if you have any Q's or run into any trouble.

And that was exactly what it did to me. I'm now looking further into this promising project, because of the thunderclap campaign.

I think the thunderclap was set up to inform new people about the shadow project and not to pump the price 

Are you expecting any influence to the price? I doubt it. Other campaigns of crypto coins on Thunderclip have had less impact.

HERE WE GO JUST A FEW HOURS LEFT PEOPLE!

Denmark just wants to control the money flows because after the central banks (Fed, ECB BoE, BoJ, etc) have blown their balances much money flowed into Danish currency what resulted into a currency appreciation and hurts the Danish economy.

Cashless country does not mean implicitly decentralized cashless country

401 addresses with balance greater than 1,000 SDC

Dat green ting looks iry, mon! :jamaican:

Quite so, but the Market will still take some time and the things I listed above I HOPE will occur within 30 days.

1 is coming in <24hrs (correction: 1.3 million souls)
2 should do wonders for mass adoption
3 could be the most influential peer review in the alt space I can think of
4 should be fun 

Thanks for the 1.3.2.3 Update! (bug inherited from BTC code fixed)… will install shortly.  

C'mon peoples! Join the THUNDERCLAP campaign to win prize monies!!
Only 24 hours left!


get in da choppa!

^^^Very nice update.

Shadow Hard Fork Successful!

We are happy to inform you all that we have successfully switched the Shadow network from Proof-of-Stake v1 to v2. This implementation required a hard fork of the blockchain that took place on Wednesday. The upgrade took a great deal of work from our developers and so we are pleased to inform you that everything went according to plan and was successful.

Why Switch To PoS v2?

To answer some of the questions we have received over the last few days we would like to explain some of the advantages of switching to PoS v2 over its predecessor.

PoS.v2 will give the Shadow network extra security over the longer term as it is no longer possible for someone to save up coinage in order to compromise the integrity of the network as it no longer plays a part in the stake calculation. The new system is designed to solve security issues which made PoS v1 coins more open to certain theoretical attacks. Although a 51% attack has not been successful on any PoS v1 coin, we opted to upgrade to eliminate theoretical attack vectors before moving on to our next objectives. In addition, we transitioned from “scrypt” to “SHA256” algorithm which brings a number of improvements  such as “SHA256” is more secure and battle-tested and staking requires much less processing overhead; overall this has resulted in a huge 60%+ reduction in the memory footprint of the application. To give you an idea the previous daemon used to consume between 650-750MB whereas the new one is ~200MB. Also part of this upgrade we have made changes to the way ShadowLite works; You can no longer stake if you are using ShadowLite wallets/Thin mode. The decision was made that staking should be a reward for securing the network and unfortunately lite/thin mode does not help to secure the network.

Bug fix!
We inherited a bug from the latest bitcoin code base which under “certain” conditions left users with new installations with less than five peers. This has now been fixed in the latest release 1.3.2.3. This is not a mandatory upgrade and only required for those who are seeing less than 5 peers.



Moving Forward!

Finally, we have merged upstream to the great work rat4 is doing over at maintaining BlackCoin and in addition have also added additional code/functionality from the latest bitcoin codebase. We are currently working on the HD wallet, once it's finished Shadow will have the first HD wallet in satoshi based codebase. The key storage is done but there is still a bit of hairy leg work. We are doing it hand in hand with the messaging upgrade. Once that's done we will start working on the front-end of ShadowMarket!

Thank you for your continued support and trust in the Shadow Project. Have a great weekend!

Dash is also not unique in its tech. There are plenty of Bitcoin mixers out there. Shadow is superior in that it does not need any third parties that may or may not be trustworthy.

At this point the price of these coins means nothing as they're all being used as a proxy for fiat anyway. If I need to send someone the equivalent of US$100 the exchange rate is what it is and it will take as many coins as it takes no matter what the coin. But being the items in the marketplace will be denominated in SDC there will be some product backing up the value of the coin just like the things on Silk Road priced in BTC supported that coin.

SDC has been around for a while and is constantly improving, Dash is way over priced, i think sdc is a much smarter choice, the price is still very low compared to the others.

Currently accepting cash donations. For every $1 (usd only)  donated you will receive 1 free sdc.
