Topic: [SDC] ShadowCash | Welcome to the UMBRA - page 516. (Read 1289714 times)

I see Zerovert running with the worlds 1st implementation of zk-snarks. It not to say SDC's won't be a better or more secure version but it is not the first coin to implement it. Same for the mobile staking wallets. Other coins release Android pos coin staking wallets. It's great to toot your own horn but again be accurate. Do try to walk over others accomplishments. It only invites trolling and is damaging to this great coins image. A rampant fan boy can be every bit as bad as the nastiest troll.

I'm not trolling as I own a nice bit of SDC either. This is advice the promotion team guys can use. The great features and perfected of ones SDC will speak loudly on their own with out all the semantic bullshit.

Any time my friend. Glad to have you here!

Thanks for answering my question Coolstoryteller.

Hey godzirra,

The project's lead developer is sdcdev aka rynomstr. We have around 5 other devs all contributing to the project in different capacities with the addition of another dev/cryptographer who is in the process of joining the project. A couple of our devs also double up as graphic designers.

SDC Dev team:
rynomstr, tecnovert, ffmad, crz-, ludx,

We also have some part time foreign community managers that help with translations and posting Shadow updates to various markets: Russian, Indian, Chinese and Spanish. More proactive members include SebSebastian and Soepkip who handle our community management here and on reddit/facebook. Longandshort hosts and maintains Shadow's wiki page. Smurf and Kamui do tons of daily SDC giveaways in the IRC channel #shadowcash.

Personally, I'm not a fan of proof of developer.. IMO the only real "PoD" is proof of delivery/development. If you look at Shadow releases they've all been firsts for crypto: Dual Key Stealth Addresses, mobile staking, PoS-SPV and HTML5 client. Ryno also developed the first network leveraged EM system with his bounty work at CINNI. That being said here is the Proof of Developer Rynomstr did with cryptoasian - http://cryptoasian.com/sdc-shadowcoin/

As this is a privacy based project we would hope the community would respect the privacy wishes of the dev team. The Shadow project is community ran and anyone is more than welcome to contribute whatever skills they have be it marketing, development, design, etc. A few of us help out with various tasks like pm, materials, editing, pr, marketing - basically anywhere we can help out the project. A few holders have recently stepped forward to help contribute to the project with SEO and SEM. I'm definitely looking forward to see the community grow and be more proactive

I'm glad to have you on board my friend. I was an early DRK investor myself so it's nice to both communities appreciating each others work. Historically, the only successful long-term projects have had technical founders, so I was relieved when I spoke to Rynomster the first time I got here. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to join us in #shadowcash on freenode irc or #shadow on anonops.

I like the fact our Dev is non-American

My post history will show that many months ago I encouraged Evan Duffield (DRK dev), a man whom I held in high regard (and still do I guess) to get out of the U.S.
(Get out of Dodge bro)

I cannot fathom how any well known dev (like Evan) can make any inroads into anon. I can only imagine the random visits he may have received by men in dark suits. No way.

There was always the weird bit how the original AWS images hosted by Evan for CPU mining back in early days of DRK were hosted in N. Virginia (Amazon). I prefer not to think about it.

After unsuccessful revision after unsuccessful revision I sold my DRK stash and moved on.

I am only in search of Anon. This is the fruition of Satoshi's dream.

Good Luck U.S. devs. I hold 3 coins. Only one has a U.S dev.

Dan Metcalf's recent hiccup vindicates my feeling in this regard. Surprisingly perhaps He has worked for the U.S. Homeland Security iirc (presumable based in N.Virginia)

I was in IRC with Evan and co. when they ran their first testnet.
Not long ago I held only XC and DRK.


How things change…
This is not DRK FUD. Just my feelings.


Go RYNO!

None of its very accurate, in fact thats common knowledge. Afaik coin age is going to be remove in place of a better more accurate system.
I personally don't know the formula, i know its not accurate to begin with and is merely a guide. So, personally, i'm waiting for a better solution that also, does not require a cps.
I don't have a link to a formula but i came across many on searches in the past. I just don't put much weight in the current pos system to trust it as being overly accurate.
Coin age is a tricky thing.

Shadow has inherited quite a few pos issues from blackcoin, the funny thing was blackcoin just released their v2 just after Shadow launched so it made things hard to switch as you can understand.
However, its been smoothed out now in this next release and it will be worked on at a later stage because there are plenty of bugs within it.


EDIT: Here is the paper for v2 anyways, you might find some of the info in it useful http://www.blackcoin.co/blackcoin-pos-protocol-v2-whitepaper.pdf

(Your coins * 2% / 365). Will give you an approx calculation. Then you have to factor in compound interest as your minted coins add to your amount of coins to stake.

I stake 24/7 myself. After the first day or two it runs very consistent as you get a balance between coins in stake and out of stake

So who else is on the core team? I'm having trouble finding out who's behind the project.

Hmm, is there a formula for calculating with a 24/7 staking wallet?

The weight bounces around as coins go in and out of stake.

I have 24k coins waiting to stake at, my weight is 1,200 while net weight is 60k

I dare say your weight would be 6k or below

You SOB now I'm going to have to buy more to one up you!

On a more serious note, Currently the total network weight is 60k. If I purchase 60k myself, would that mean I would have half of the total network stake rate?

That being said Ryno did do a POD with crypto asian, and his linked in profile is avail to view.

+1 Well spoken.

Glad to have you on our side.

What made me trust this dev team is the tech they have put out. They never hype anything and they never even announce a project until its already on testnet. Getting a community roadmap from these guys was very difficult because they are so careful to not hype their tech. This is one reason no one has heard of SDC other than those who have been lucky enough to stumble across it. They have released an incredible amount of firsts in crypto within the last 4 months.

  - First wallet2wallet rich text instant, anon, encrypted messaging
  - First openssl dualkey stealth addresses
  - First full feature mobile staking wallets
  - First HTML5 wallet
  - First POS lite wallet/SPV

Im sure I am forgetting some tech releases but you get the idea. What's even more crazy is that they quickly open source all this tech, maybe to the detriment of gaining notoriety for SDC.

They are about to release a tech breakthrough that nobody has been able to accomplish. People have been trying to pull off ZK for over a year and no one has been able to do it. From what I am hearing ZK is testing just fine and will be public testing very soon. All this makes me trust this dev team even more than knowing who someone is in real life.

Hey I've got 50M EAC too!!! hahahah.  Funny......

I have 50k as well, but I've had them for a while now. And it's not DRK money per se, I (bag)hold a lot of different coins lol.

Anyone wanna buy 50 million earthcoins btw?

As a long time darkcoin holder, what really brought me to drk was that Evan was very transparent with who he was and it led me to have some faith to invest in the project.

I'm wondering who is the core team behind SDC? I'm already invested a little, but want to know more.

Shadow has inherited some bugs from the html5 code itself. These will most probably exist until the new html5 is released.
I don't have the issue of you guys waiting and stuck downloading since i use the bootstrap.dat (i usually test it everytime someone
says they have an issue and i don't ever, seem to be able to recreate the issue on a windows 7, 8 box) but you may want to add some nodes not
that it should be necessary since there is a dns seeder but its worth a
http://shadowcash.info/wiki/Community_Nodes


Yes i still notice Shadow has some short term legacy issues with regards to it first being shadowcoin.
Ultimately, most of us would like to move away from this thread to its own forum at shadowtalk.org
but that, as you can understand comes with time and a larger user base to help that transition.
I encourage people to work on the wiki, as that is a top search result and can hold all the right info
necessary. That is something i'll  personally endeavor to be working on deeply, over the next few weeks once the zk testnet is public.


The html5 ui wallet scales to size, so if its small it will abreviate, i've noticed. You can submit your bugs/suggestion you notice to the google doc we have setup from
the last public testing phase http://goo.gl/4yXo3x also on the shadowtalk.org forum, if its something you think is an issue. There is also #shadowtest where the appropiate devs
monitor so you can talk with them there.



Please speak up if you still have syncing issues after adding some nodes. I encourage everyone, again, to be a little patient with the team, there are some fixes in the next release which afaik will be out shortly.
Lastly, i thank and encourage you to post anything else you don't like or are having trouble with and or things you would like to see. So they/we can look at them and hopefully continue to refine it.
If you like the project and would like to help us all (existing community, devs) out let us know what you can contribute so we can work on it.

For those who missed whats coming
