Can anyone make sense of my confusion...
From that table posted on the page before, SDC looks as if its the best coin (apart from instant transactions). Also, with the race for the first decentralised marketplace and SDC twitter feed saying its coming soon, i can't see why this coins value is so far off that of XMR and DRK (DASH). Is this people realising this now, or is there something i'm missing? Also, i understand that 99.9% of SDC have been made minus the POS 2% a year. But both XMR and DASH are still being mined.
Hope to get some good feedback, just brought 2000 SDC at 44k

Welcome Pinkman,
The coin was founded July 19th 2014. Since then, aside from Bitcoinist, Cryptocoinnews, Deepdotweb and forexminute the crytpo press refused to cover any progress made with this coin. I've personally e-mailed Cointelegraph and Coindesk about Shadow and they outright refused to write about it. It's been an uphill battle trying to get exposure for this coin and press validation is something that is a key ingredient to the success of a coin. Vice is ranked #230 on Alexa.. it's the press equivalent to the major leagues. Cointelegraph and Coindesk are minor leagues if anything. Their refusal to cover this project highlights their bias (ignorance) against real progress and their inability to recognize blockchain industry leaders.
I've seen a few people say "If Shadow is such a good coin how come there is no press?" well now there is massive exposure and you're seeing the effect of it as all of the hard work the team has put forward is being exposed on a worldwide level. Shadow will be beyond Dash and Monero soon with the marketplace moving into testing soon it will have a direct path for adoption by the deepweb which will mean millions of dollars if not billions in commerce. What good is an anonymous decentralized currency that still relies on centralized commerce solutions to facilitate listings? It leaves the user base open to theft and seizure like the recent $12M EVO theft. Soon the another players in the anon vertical will be left in the dust and just like Darkcoin had a first mover advantage on private currency Shadow will have the first mover advantage on end to end private commerce, communication and currency.
Hey man,
thanks for that! Thats some great info, i will be holding my coins until the marketplace is launched for sure!!! I agree that this just needs more exposure, because i've been trading for over a year now and just not really ever taken notice of shadow. Its a great article and as we see on the exchanges has pricked peoples ears up for sure!!
Any time Pinkman and again welcome to the community!
Vice gets about 100x more traffic than Coindesk and about 500x more than Cointelegraph. It's safe to say this coin isn't going anywhere but up and will continue to do so despite attacks from trolls and haters. The numbers below don't lie (about 5-10% of the traffic is from bots).
