Thanks for the reply LongAndShort! At the risk of sounding like a complete idiot, how do I open the console?

putting the bootstrap in the C:\Users\youruser\AppData\Roaming/shadow <----

Step 1
Try openeing up the console and typing


Wait for it to show output that it succeeded then close the client.

Step 2
Find the folder where your wallet.dat is and delete the peers.dat and start the client again. (The reason you do this is because it may have banned nodes in it for a period because it thought they were misbehaving)

---

Give it a few minutes to show its downloading the chain and if its stuck again where it was then repeat Step 1 but increase the number by 100 until it sorts itself out.

Disclaimer: This is a known issue that is the legacy we inherited from PoS v1. Shadow devs are now in the process of upgrading to a more modern PoS system which should eliminate these ongoing problems.

The folder for mac where your wallet.dat is and the other important files for the client should be found in


Make a backup of your wallet.dat and thats where you place it if ever you need to again.

Hi everyone,

I'm pretty new to Shadow, but I think it's a revolutionary idea! However I'm having trouble with the client, someone from reddit said that you guys could help me out better?

I'm running Shadow v1.3.1.0 on OSx. My blockchain is stuck on 249561 blocks and hasn't moved for the last few days. I have tried the bootstrap but I couldn't find the place to drop it, the Shadow folder wasn't in Application Support. I've encrypted my wallet and made back-ups.

Could someone point me in the right direction to getting my blockchain running again? Console commands maybe?

Thanks guys! 

glad to see all is going well here, keep up the developments

can't wait to buy some homemade soap on the shadow market with my 240k shadow!!!!
wooo

More then 0 and less then 6.5million


My opinion is, how much someone owns dosn't matter. It can always potentially be used against you. To me that is the point of supporting privacy coins so you arn't tracked or traceable. In this world where people hide behind computers and have little understanding of the world around them and little respect for others privacy find it fitting to use it against them when they see most fit.

Thats just on this forum, however, i'm really talking about a much bigger issue and people deserve the right of peace of mind and deserve the right to walk about, surf the net and hold as much or as little money as they want. Without being tracked if they don't want to. I don't see a benefit in knowing how much you own dadon but only a problem that someone can use against you and invasion of privacy when how much you own does not really matter.

If someone wants to ask you how much you own thats fine. I call it inappropriate to ask because the answer either way, almost always, ends in some kind of  unnecessary judgment. No matter what way its answered and thats not a fair way to treat someone you are friendly or not friendly with.

In my culture its always been something that is frowned upon, people asking how much you are worth or how much you have of a certain currency ect ect. If i wanted people to know they would. Just like you are ok telling the world

Different cultures i guess even tho we live in the same country!


We don't have a bill of rights. When and if the shit hits the fan, decisions can be made on a whim without being scrutinised. To be honest not many people know those decisions can already be made without being scrutinised they just abuse that power often because it could destabalise the peace. But yeah, they will use it one day, i have no doubt and it wont be in our favor.

Funny how relaxed we are here and complacent given the fact we are sitting on a ticking time bomb that will inevitably go off right?

Americas fathers logic for guns was always to be able to protect themselves from goverment. we don't have any kind of protection furthermore they extorted or engineered the port arthur massacre to remove the semi autos
they even dismantled the ability to be in a biker club. Which dosn't leave us much at all to protect ourselves.

Not something we think of much here as you know but its a potential issue all the same. Especially now with how disconnected the government is from the bottom rungs of our society. We shall see some sort of social collapse soon.
I would even go as far to say we could end up like greece, having our money taken from our bank accounts!

Whores, man. They're a perfect fit for crypto because they're the only illegal vendor that doesn't have a supplier to pay, and thus no need to dump coin for fiat. It will protect a lot of people involved in it from arrest and abuse too.

Soap, weed, itchy dick cream, it doesn't matter.  Why shouldn't I be able to spend my crypto just like cash, anonymously.

The market design is awesome and i cant wait to see it come to life long live Shadow!!

There is a war on free market human activity.  Such activity will never be fully squashed by governments.  They cannot even keep drugs out of high security prisons.  Light bulbs are being phased out now all across the globe.  Everything is banned or illegal.  You need permission to do everything.  Well, with ShadowMarket you don't need permission to sell your soaps anymore. Usually lye is used in making soaps, but hey wait that is used for making drugs like speed too.  So anticipate bans, restrictions, and regulations on lye in the future if not already.  I heard of an old woman ordering a bunch of lye for soap making, and she got SWAT raided in America.  You may be better off ordering your lye off ShadowMarket.  If things continue the way they are going, these markets are going to explode in popularity.

I found many many years ago that Jones has ZERO interest in Solutions.
He only seeks to harp on about doom & gloom & sell miracle tea & water filters, lol.
Unbearable to listen to for me.

ShadowCash's marketplace could really help AGORISM:
The practise of keeping one's financial transactions in grey & black markets for ethical reasons.

My situation: I make soap.
Hand made, simple, beautiful, small scale & I sell it in town for a really great price, mostly as a community service.
This nation's government has recently decided that anyone making such things needs to register with the ministry of sanitation to have government agents come to my house, inspect where i make soap, turn my house into a commercial facility, take photos.... & some months later, MAYBE assign me a sanitation registration number so I can legally sell my 10 bars of soap per week...
Absolutely ridiculous...
There is a concerted effort, worldwide, to block out small scale artisan producers in order to favour large corporations who make crappy products & who sell them at the highest possible prices.
I have little interest in a new silk road, although I do support that.
But my major interest is in local communities organizing & getting back into production & barter.
ShadowMarketplace can be a great tool for empowering local trade & I will be selling my soap on day 1.
Maybe I'll even make a soap with a shadowcash logo for fun.

I couldn't agree more.
I don't see what is keeping people so interested in the cryptonote coins...
I've recently traded my Drk for Shadow,
Drkcoin is great, good team, but they've implemented what they sought to & I'm no longer sure how I feel about a two tier system, ie; regular users & masternodes.
I really like shadow's encrypted messaging feature & marketplace idea...
-Much Love to both communities-
But cryptonote coins are heavily overvalued now in my opinion...
I'm very excited to be on board with shadowcash
beautiful wallet !
I'm excited for POS v2, staking one tenth of your coins is annoying.
& Im glad to hear that a dev who created messaging for cinni is on board,
& so is someone from Blackcoin.
Did I get all that right ?

Anyways, very impressive so far ShadowCash community !
Happy to be here.

Going up

Oh yeah thats right, now I think of it, its the "bill of rights" we dont have here.   

Australia has a constitution it's just not that good http://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Senate/Powers_practice_n_procedures/Constitution

dadon, we dont have a constitution here in Australia. 

But i am glad that every second nutbag around here doesnt have a gun, so i dont see the need for one myself.  But if i was in usa then i would want a gun for sure.

Well said.


What went wrong? This is part of it…

Military-Industrial Complex Speech, Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1961

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

we were warned.

yeah i have strong opinions about American government that is completely different to what i think of the people but is best kept to my self but in short i think there wars, proxy wars, illegal global  intelligence gathering propaganda spewing nonsense and we could go on.. is a thorn in the side of humanity, but the peopleare good i have american friends and family, and no don't want build empire with guns hahah just want to be able to keep a handgun next to my bed so if anyone breaks into my house i can protect my family, i just wish the guy who write Australian constitution wasn't working for the queen because we got fucked over.
