New ShadowCore Client Now Available For Public Testing


Our development team has been hard at work integrating new features into ShadowCore that will better support our upcoming ShadowMarket. In order to best support a P2P marketplace environment the ShadowCore client has been updated to prepare the network to switch from using Proof of Stake to Proof of Stake v2. PoS v2’s revised coin weight calculation encourages greater network stability by not factoring in “coin age”. Therefore saving up coin age is no longer possible so nodes will need to be online more in order to get their stake reward. It'll involve a move from scrypt to SHA256 which will mean staking requires less processing power (especially helpful for mobile users wishing to stake their coins). The new system is also designed to solve security issues which made PoS v1 coins open to certain theoretical attacks. For more information see Blackcoin's Proof-of-Stake Protocol v2 white paper.                 
         
The upgrade took a great deal of work from the developers (you can view full details of the 230 changed files with 12,219 additions and 8,455 deletions here. There’s a summary of the changes in the release notes.

To participate in our public testing phase join the shadowtesting channel on slack.


ShadowGo Progress Update


We’re currently putting the finishing touches to an upgraded version of our Android wallet. This will give mobile users the full anonymizing functionality of ShadowSend v2. The beta version will be posted in the next few days for a short round of community testing before the full release. Stay tuned for further details.


ShadowMarket Progress Update


Good progress is being made on the Shadow Marketplace. Our developers expect to pick up speed now that all the necessary updates have been made to ShadowCore and a date has been scheduled for the PoS v2 hard fork. We will be working on upgrading ShadowChat for secure messaging, which will be the backbone of the whole market place, using BIP32 addresses for category trees. After that we will be working on anonymous mutltisig transactions. We are aiming to have a beta version ready for public testing and feedback within Q2. ShadowMarket will be the primary focus of our developers and the next feature to be added to the ShadowCore client.


Thank you all for your continued support and enthusiasm,

The Shadow Team

There is a lot of consideration being given to how to keep the community updated on a consistent and regular basis.  Everybody is busy as hell and that's why it hasn't come together yet.  

If the core team can agree on how and when the updates are written, proof read and published then it should be like a nicely oiled machine.

I too wish updates were more regular.  They will become more regular soon, I'm sure of it.

Instead of making a big fuss here on the thread about updates, just check the irc or slack logs and post what you find instead of asking every couple days. SDCdev is on pretty much daily. Also, ffmad gives some good insight as well pretty much every other day. But you know this so I don't understand all this hubbub continuously. It makes the thread look worse than fud imo. You were the one that told me to go to slack in the first place dudemeister, don't be a hippopotocritimus.

Dev's most recent testnet release not even a week ago was pretty awesome and is really stable imho.

TL;DR: Big releases get big PR graphical pushes. Development is aggregate.  Find the info and post it if you are concerned it isn't getting out there as much as it should.

we both know a hardfork block ann was expected. Not that that is really relevant. This thread has been chaotic last couple days… we need some Team member hands to steady the ship, even if it's only words they can offer atm.

Basic Communication! It is so easy.

You're like the clingy, jealous girlfriend who says she trusts you but needs to see your phone every hour you're together and needs you to call her every hour you're apart.

You made girls jealous? Unlikely.

Moreover you don't know me, my motivations or my dreams. Don't get personal with me.

MY hope lacking??! MINE?! 

Here's the animated gif you threw at me months ago after you felt I got overexcited about ShadowSend v2 (as though that were even possible). I hereby return it to you Whaetclove…

Your hope is lacking if you require updates every few days from the devs.

+1

Even if its non-technical! Words of reassurance would suffice.

(We hit 33k last night FFS!)

Ok wheatclove so you have a hard on for skip and harold.  

How about a team member give us an update? dasource??

Devs and team have a day off,

Freedom Day
King's Day
etc.

Relax child_harold

It has a new feature called the skip60 indicator. Let's you know when skip buys in, so you can dump and vive versa.

Probably the best feature in the wallet.

Can someone give an update here as to how the new wallet is working on testnet?

At this point Im waiting for some water and bread… party sucks atm!

Would you like some cheese with that whine?

So bloody +1

Basic Communication. This is an increasingly infuriating situation and is not inspiring confidence. If Ryno is too busy to post an update then perhaps any of the 3 or 4 members of the Team who have responsibilities connected with PR and/or the community could?

Man up!  

p.s. updating the community before celebrating "Freedom Day" (/me coughs) might be an idea!
