For those who missed whats coming
IMO, this jpeg should be erased from everywhere, lest the more knowledgeable anonymity crowd think this is overpromising / pumping at best or a huge scam at worst.
Ring signatures and zero knowledge stuff already have a lot of bloat... now imagine if you combine these two together and also issue 1m blocks... the bloat would be such that the coin would be 100% DOA from the specs alone...
1m blocks, I meant 1 minute. Sorry for the misunderstanding. But the point remains... ring sigs + zk together in a sustainable non bloated coin? Seems extremely hard to envision.
For 99% of the people, more specs promised = better pump material. For anonymity investment veterans it smells like snake oil, so they prefer more "realistic" claims.
Snarks will replace and will augment Shadows zk implementation
long before anyone feels the effects of bloat. The bloat is a short term issue and is prunable. There really isn't an issue with it, its far better then any cryptonote solution. So personally i'm not concerned.
The main fact here is that its fast, functional, easy to use and secure. It is all of those things right now in private testing. So sit tight, you will understand when you see it. You do however bring up valid points but all of which are not as dramatic that would require Shadow to "erased from everywhere" because it will be "100% DOA from the specs alone"
I encourage you to wait until the specs are at least published before speculating heavily on what you feel will turn you or others off. I believe the talented (proven) devs have not worked their asses off for virtually nothing to just deliver something that will be 100% DOA.
They have earn't that respect and have earn't that trust. They don't owe us anything and they don't hold a premine and the market cap is nothing. So there is no motivation to rush out some crappy, half assed implementation..Feeling me?
