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:
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.

Thank you very much! I enjoyed reading the whitepaper, but admit that it raised more questions for me about how exactly the code works in terms of unforgeability and minting of shadow (along with the related destruction of SDC).
Naturally BEFORE we update the new software we would like to see the code to have some assurance it is safe from bad actors somehow finding an exploit to mint extra shadow without the destruction of SDC, etc.
Can you load the code into GitHub please? I do not plan on updating my software until it can be reviewed. I hope others will follow my lead. SDC could die overnight (once we hit block number 257,000) if there is some unknown exploit possible relating to the minting process.
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.
Please add the new code to GitHub. Thanks!
