Is that enough to verify no coins can be made out of thin air?

@yourstruly, can you comment on that if you've had enough time to take a look at the code?

Just read the white paper- heavy stuff, like my senior physics courses except I could understand those!  Embarrassed

Good thing the mandatory upgrade is being done now. That can be a real cluster-F once a coin is being used for commerce, by unsophisticated users. Can you even imagine a mandatory BTC upgrade now?

The only thing that seems a little shaky is the difference between Shadow and SDC. So it's like we will have two separate currencies in the wallet? Will this be transparent to the user, or will we have to mess around with it?

One unrelated idea I had about anonymity was to add a random element to the transaction fee, like instead of it being 0.2% it could be anywhere from 0.180000% to 0.220000%. That way there would be no way to match a wallet credit to a wallet debit with any certainty.

I believe that with the Holidays coming it very soon, the need to move quickly is important?   Otherwise we would need to wait till after new years to have enough hands on deck I would think.

You have worked so hard on this! Please don't take any chances by forcing a mandatory upgrade on the community (at least without a vote) until the code is public and has some time to be reviewed.  A mistake now could kill the coin forever which is something nobody wants.


what is so big with this mandotary update???

why people makes it so big deal?

can someone from dev team clarify that point

maybe hard fork can be postponed to further block number, and before we rich that block number code review can be finalized

Hi all

After much planning and development, we are proud to bring you our latest release.  Many of you have been involved in the testing process, and we are very thankful for all the help that has gone into this release.

The main feature in this release is ShadowSend v2, but here's a list of other improvements we've made during the development cycle:

  • Anonymous transactions using zero-knowledge proofs
  • Multiblock download (Thin and Full Modes)
  • ShadowChat now shows unread message count instead of total message count
  • Ring size suggestion for Shadow spend transactions
  • HTML options page
  • Transaction type display selection
  • Notification type selection
  • Enable/Disable Thin Mode from options

We thank you all for your patience as well, and without this community, this release would have never been possible.

Without further ado, here is our WP:
ShadowCash: Zero-knowledge Anonymous Distributed E-Cash via Traceable Ring Signatures


Anonymous ZK transactions will only work from block 257000 onwards, as to prevent too many forks in the chain.

This is a mandatory upgrade, so please make sure you are on v1.3.0.5 before the weekend.

Wow love it..Gratz Devs and everyone. This is a great Christmas present. You have worked so hard and the algerbra looks great and explains a lot, in the WP. Even though most don't understand it, only the people that matter do and not the ones wanting to sell because they don't understand it!

Merry Christmas everyone and fantastic update.

Love the santas hat over the logo btw Smiley And bloom ftw.

How do they work?  "Anonymity to ensure transactions cannot be traced"?

The whitepaper answers some questions, but raises more.

I have followed this project for a long time and have been generally supportive. I even recommended ANC holders look at SDC as a means to diversify.

That being said I strongly disagree with the "mandatory upgrade" by this weekend before all the source code is released.

This tech is very cutting edge but also extremely dangerous for SDC if any exploits can be found by bad actors. I plan to sell all my SDC prior to block 257,000 unless the source code is published beforehand.

Perhaps everything is fine and no bugs or vulnerabilities exist. That is not a risk I am willing to take. If I have to buy back into SDC at a higher price later (very possible) I accept that. The threat (of some shadow minting/spending exploit) is an existential thread to SDC. No mandatory update should occur prior to source code release
