extremistan: It's my slack handle, posting on BCT through the slack channel #bitcointalk (via a bot).
extremistan: Not yet. Prob just maintenance, like yesterday.
wth is this "extremistan"?

Wallet is in maintenance on trex. What's going on? New release being implemented?
That said, I don't think acceptance by dark markets is something to seek. Most of the DNM stories have been tragedies, leaving confiscated coins and ruined lives in their wake, and I predict the next major dump of XMR will be thanks to a FBI seized assets auction. Too centralized and too big a target, plus the cumbersomeness that comes with operating and using a dark site. It may be obsolete tech now.
Thats a one way of looking at it. Also keep in mind that Satoshi is in FBI's and several other agencies most wanted list. Shadowmarket, if it will ever become a popular demand, might cause troubles to their devs due to illegal trades going on. On the other hand its no secret that FBI decoded tor and watching people.
I think the devs are safe, being they have not a bit of control over what we do with our wallets or coins. This is why it's imperative that the wallets be uncensored, for once the the devs have the power to control what we do there will be a demand that this power be used. And being it's open source it would be easy enough for anyone who knows code to remove whatever they were forced to do.
I thought the market would be closed source? Anyway, the transaction from deep web markets are going to happen someday. Its unevitable, shadowmarket has to be at its best on release so it can be a decent candiate when it happens.

extremistan: Not true. Developers of open source software can't be held responsible for its uses. Just like those who develop for Bitcoin aren't responsible for if it's used for nefarious purposes. And Satoshi wouldn't be on the most wanted list for developing Bitcoin, the only reason he would be "wanted" is for tax purposes... If even that. I've never heard he's on their most wanted list.
ohh And they thought satoshi will come out when they suddenly give award to him. The demand for coins that has untraceable featurs may still exist though. so long as there are users who wants privacy and operates in the dark. SilkRoad discussion still continues really, if one day i get to be there i might just try making transaction like the rest of those who supported the coins.
FUD FUD FUD, blah blah blah
Notice the name here? These guys are trying this game on Polo troll box too, nobody is listening, SDC volume and price action continues.

Nice thing about the Aphrodite wallet is that it alone will make both dark markets and the eventual Shadow market unnecessary for some. Sellers can set up shop right in a chat room like they have been doing in IRC channels for years, with the advantage of a secure currency built in.

missed shadow pump. what a pittie. 
I wouldn't call it a pump. There are solid technical reasons for the rise in price. The current consolidation is just as normal, and a great buying opportunity.
Do your homework, and it will be very clear why SDC is a fantastic long term investment opportunity.

How do I feed the blockchain to the wallet?
I've not been able to find answers to these questions so apologies if they have been asked before.
1. If all the outputs of a transaction are zero knowledge how does the network or miner know what the fees will be?
2. Is there any way a shadowcash user can provide the ability for a third party to see their anonymous account activity, e.g. like a Monero "view key", without exposing their private key?
3. Is there any way to enforce instant transactions on the network like Dash? Or does shadow cash rely on the normal method of confirmations until statistical certainty on non-reversibility (due to chain reorganisation) reaches a certain threshold.
4. Why did the blockchain switch from PoW to PoS? Was this to seed an initial distribution of coins?
5. Where can I read up on the specific type of PoW used?
6. Where can I read up on the decentralised market protocol?

You guys can FUD all you want. I have been here since the start and never gave up. I stopped contacts with everyone but kept buying 
SDC will be a game changer in the world we live in today and patience will pay for those who invest.
