Will ZK effectively end all competing privacy-centric altcoins (purely from an anon-tech standpoint)?  

I guess what I am trying to ask is this:  Is ZK the holy-grail of anonymity?  And will it leave all other currently available anon-tech (such as DRK, XMR, XC, etc) obsolete, inferior, & nonsensical to use?

The short answer - yes.

(...)

Cool story indeed! Will definitely watch this.

Btw excellent redesign! (Yeah I know I came late..)

Thanks! You're still very early, things are just getting started here.

I've made a feature request for a client installer that would probably help with the initial install. Everyone feel free to give feedback or piss on it: http://shadowtalk.org/topic/260/shadow-installer

Loading the Android wallet- looks like it's syncing up to about 60K blocks left and freezing up. Good wifi connection. Normal, or do I need to do something with my phone?

Sorry if this has already been asked & answered, long topic! Can't wait to start staking!

Truth be told, Android wallet sucks in my opinion.

If you have it running in the background, it will probably have syncing issues.

I do believe the devs are going to redesign the wallet with a friendlier UI and using their SPV code for faster syncing and smaller blockchain. Can't wait for that.

i am sure after ZK-snarks full release dev team will solve it

in my computer i am using lite wallet, and it works perfectly and sync very fast....so why not android wallet in the future

ryno hates Java lol

You don't need Java for Android, pure JavaScript is more than enough nowadays.
(And I can't recall a capable dev who likes Java btw.)

You are very early actually (i know what you mean btw). The core isn't even finished yet and mainstream isn't using it. I argue that you are still early on bitcoin too. So, welcome, pull up a pew or find something to do Tongue Like maybe you could make a cool/er website for shadow.cash?

Exactly, and this is why snarks, when it replaces ring sigs will be epic because that will allow us to destroy the output! Basically if an exchange sends you coins you can then destroy the output and it will look like it got sent to no where. You can then send to someone and it will look like they just minted it.  Shocked ikr

It's like asking a question, will cars replace horses with carriage and make them obsolete, inferior, & nonsensical to use? The answer will depent on when and whom you are asking, the owner of the cart or machine. Only time will tell, ZK is providing top tier defence, that means there is nothing better to look for, absolute might (or something close).

Yes.

Can you elaborate on that a little more please?  Why "Yes"?  Thanks

I'd recommend you to come on our channel #Shadowcash on IRC. Here you can ask all your questions and get a better explanation of what is the tech.

Yes. But other coins might not see it that way.

I posted some TXs on IRC for the guys to see the difference in the input/outputs:

1. SDC to SDC (all parties are known)
http://shadowtn.blockexplorer.cc/tx/b11f3721910bef36cf133adfed71e8de04dc3bb4a927af4ac4148cec0be8fcb6

2. SDC to Shadow or Shadow to SDC (i.e. one party is unknown (the shadow party))
http://shadowtn.blockexplorer.cc/tx/929bc5d8163e8e243bf89f78cc0d91e3cadfd1685a717b2896ac79ce67ad7593

3. Shadow to Shadow (neither parties are known - yay!)
http://shadowtn.blockexplorer.cc/tx/47da4aca657ec9fe4ab7de6fa1e3dd5e935474151bfcc18d39c3b537885f25bd

Loading the Android wallet- looks like it's syncing up to about 60K blocks left and freezing up. Good wifi connection. Normal, or do I need to do something with my phone?

Sorry if this has already been asked & answered, long topic! Can't wait to start staking!

Truth be told, Android wallet sucks in my opinion.

If you have it running in the background, it will probably have syncing issues.

I do believe the devs are going to redesign the wallet with a friendlier UI and using their SPV code for faster syncing and smaller blockchain. Can't wait for that.

i am sure after ZK-snarks full release dev team will solve it

in my computer i am using lite wallet, and it works perfectly and sync very fast....so why not android wallet in the future

It might be nice to have the whole thing living on a SD card. That way there would be less of a problem with blockchain size, and you could swap cards and move your wallet to a new phone. Maybe even trade the cards as a form of physical SDC.

mobile wallets are getting an upgrade once the zk comes out of public testing. No sense upgrading the mobile wallets without incorporating ZK into them.
