sorry for noob question, but didn't someone find an exploit with SDC code? was that repaired? I own some SDC so I hope the exploit was either false, or if true, it was fixed
just trying to sort out fact from fud
If you own SDC (transparent form) which apparently is usually the case, you would
not have been affected
at all. If you owned Shadow (obfuscated form) you should consider the privacy that was supposed to have been provided by Shadow to be destroyed and you should move the coins several times using the new (presumably fixed) version if you want any sort of privacy there.
I know SDC supporters like to say that the exploit didn't matter because it still had stealth addresses, but that is pretty much wrong. The method depends on having both untracability and unlinkability for privacy; just one or the other is very ineffective. That's why coins that just use stealth addresses with no method of untraceabilty are not considered a viable solution to blockchain privacy.
EDIT: typo, add
not above
OK thanks for that information, I think my SDC are OK then, but I'll move them just to be sure. Good that a 'fix' was implemented!
edit: many coins have bugs discovered, so I don't see any long term damage coming from finding and fixing a problem, that's evolution. The SDC devs did a good job!
