I'd advise not pursuing Zeuner in these ways. The worst that could have happened is he screwed a group of contributors out of 5 BTC.

Stalking, doxxing, harassment have potential consequences much greater than that, too much upside with Shadow to risk the reputation of the coin and community with some revenge that isn't going to accomplish anything of value.

Finding him was never the issue imo. The issue was getting him to reply. It's like paparazzi chasing down Bernie Madoff when he was on trial. He knows he did a community of people wrong as an individual and doesn't want to talk about it and/or cannot do what he was paid to do. Maybe it's too complicated for Zeuner? Either way it detracts from the innovation and current events.

The pictures are valid, they are of his house in Leipzig. You've done quite your homework lol.

We also called the whois entry phone number two days ago, which seemed to be a cellphone number IIRC. We'll keep on calling that number until we have a hit.
Did he have a recorded message at his mailbox? I had a few community members ring him up.

The public whois of the quidecco domain is a trophee of information:
https://whois.domaintools.com/quidecco.net

regarding 1) afaik he did not went inside the building, but I've seen 3 or 4 pictures from the house and the outdoor intercom buzzer/bell showing his last name. one can verify it's the correct house by comparing my friends pictures via google streetview, which I did.

regarding 2) I took the phone number from the old quidecco.de whois entry. I did NOT leave him a message, just tried if I actually can get to that point.

ps: my master is going to challenge your master to settle this once and for all :-P

pps: doener royal... https://imgur.com/a/6ijcf

1. Your friend actually went to his house and confirmed the identity of the resident? We know of the address and phone numbers connected to the address in L.

2. I'll be sending him a PM right now.

Which number did you call? Some of the numbers don't go through and others seem to go other people. My google-fu skills are better than yours, take my word for it. We have a whole document of information related to Zeuner. We've had a situation where and old guy picked up the phone but claimed he wasn't Zeuner.

1. he's still living at the address you can find via google, friend of mine from L checked it personally a few months ago.

2. he's online at btct right now ;-) https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/zeuner-76419

edit: just tried to call his home phone number, mailbox still works you can leave him a message. your google-fu master must have been a weak one...

How dare you take my comments out of context. I like blackcoin and want to stake with it. PoSv3 is obv legit and I like zim as I have also stated many times in that same chat you cherry picked. My pi after staking for a day was peaked on cpu usage from blackcoin. FACT. That isn't me trolling, you creep. I am currently looking for a solution for Blackcoin staking because I like the coin and the dev. Everything I said in that chat I said on the blackcoin thread too. How pathetic are you to take comments out of context and try to use them to slander an entire community when all the comments were just me trying to get my pi running better. I still hold blackcoin. And the rest of the comment was:

P.S. L2tagIMG and embed! LOL pathetic troll

arcanum: @sickandtierted blackcoin was never accused of being a shitcoin! I hodl both and so do many! Read slack and show me where it says otherwise! I am sickandtired of clowns like you who just say things, to troll around

They say that here, when in reality over the shadow slack and communities they just say every other coin is shitcoin including blackcoin and bitmessage and ask why would anyone hold it (when without them shadowcoin would not exist; hypocrite behavior), one of the most ungrateful and hostile coins I have found, I guess that's the real reason behind of it being called shadow.

Hi David,

The team really appreciates your kind words and input. I have noticed that BlackCoin is doing some great improvements too.

We're watching Blackcoin very carefully, everyone here agrees that we wouldn't be anywhere if it weren't for you guys. We're excited about the Blackcoin upgrade to the Bitcoin coinbase 0.11
We followed the Reddit thread about the cold staking, a very interesting read. We were bit confused by the term "cold staking", but multisig staking makes a lot more sense!

Our current implementation does not re-send after two days, I can't say for sure what we'll do to fix this issue but we're not very fond of the current BitMessage approach. We didn't implement the acknowledgment part of the protocol because they open up a gap for traffic correlation and active internal intersection attacks. The acknowledgment messages have a particular size and are easily recognized by an adversary.

There are very effective attacks that can quickly compromise anonymity in the original BitMessage design, we're not having that in ours.

We've made sure that coins can't be lost due to nodes not being online for extended periods of time. The sellers puts all the needed information to make a multisig address in the listing. The buyer then generates the multisig address and includes a signed transaction in the message. When the seller verifies the order he broadcasts all the transactions. No coins will ever be lost this way.

To combat message losses we devised a theoretical model that acts like acknowledgments but is more resilient. Take for example Alice and Bob. Alice sends a message 'Hey Bob' to Bob. When Bob replies he adds the hash of the last message of Alice he had in his message 'Oh hello Alice'.

A->B: message A
B->A: hash(message A) + message B

Now a scenario where multiple messages are lost:

A->B: message A
A->B: message A2 (not received by Bob)
A->B: message A3 (not received by Bob)
B->A: hash(message A) + message B

If Alice receives the message of Bob, she can choose to re-broadcast the messages. If she doesn't receive his messages then the cycle begins again.
When you're expecting an important message then we're generally assuming that you'll be awaiting a response. 

Great reads on BitMessage and potential attack vectors:
Traffic correlation attacks: https://www.reddit.com/r/bitmessage/comments/3svc5g/do_confirmation_messages_make_bitmessage/
Forward secrecy: https://www.reddit.com/r/bitmessage/comments/3zzevp/forward_secrecy_for_bitmessage/
More forward secrecy: https://bitmessage.org/forum/index.php?topic=2981.0
Security Analysis of BitMessage: https://bitmessage.org/forum/index.php?topic=1666.0

Tor and Bitcoin indeed form a bit of a troubled relationship, the key element to make it secure is having lots of people running their node as a hidden service. Most attacks with Tor and Bitcoin involve Tor exit relays. I agree that I2P is a better route to take, and we're closely monitoring the Korvi I2P router by Monero.
I'm assuming the cheap attack you are talking about is the one mentioned here: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1410.6079.pdf

Hehehe I'm a newb when it comes down to NIZKP, if you have some good reads for me, ship them over to me!

Thank you for popping by, we greatly appreciate it. It takes great effort to run and maintain open source projects, we recognize your spirit and wish you the best.

Regards,
Kewde and the team.

Shadow Installer
We have made a few mockups of what the installer will look like and decided to share it with the community. We're still playing around and paused the development on the installer because we have to spend the limited time we have on the truely pressing matters.

Let us know what you think, we're always up for a chat on our Slack channel!
If you want to read more about the installer I'd like to point you to our previous blogpost.

Microsoft Azure
The ShadowCash team is pleased to announce that it has gone into the Microsoft Azure program via their Blockchain as a Service (BaaS) platform.

What is Microsoft Azure?

Microsoft Azure is a cloud-computing platform and infrastructure created by Microsoft. It is a growing collection of integrated cloud services which allows clients to build, deploy and manage applications through Microsoft-managed data centers.


What are the benefits?

ShadowCash providing a blockchain platform in the cloud is immensely valuable for both Azure and the ShadowCash ecosystem. Azure is innovating with different Blockchain technologies and is able to experiment with new frameworks and tools. Our users on the other hand are able to support the network by running a full ShadowCash node in the cloud. Our collaboration with Azure will be excellent for the testing and development of ShadowCash itself and for anyone building applications on our framework.

Where do I get these goodies?

A user of our community named HyperSpaceChain / dahaka has been a tremendous help in getting everything set up. Unlike some shitcoins that used Azure for nothing more than a cheap hype, we took this matter more seriously. We've been added to the BaaS Artifacts and included is a detailed tutorial tailored to setting up Shadow. Check it out here!


Shadow ATM
The team has also been taking up some side projects like bringing ShadowCash to ATMs! We've already programmed everything and are awaiting the integration into the existing network of ATMs.

The ATM software is open source which allows us to implement this on our own time, we still have to wait for the ATM producer to verify and accept our pull request. We're optimistic that it will be merged soon.

We'll provide  more information once the pull request has been merged, until then we won't be disclosing anything.

Trello Community Hub
We want to involve the comunity more in the development of some projects. That is why we made a community trello open to the public! You can view it over here.

The community can make suggestions and we'll add it to the Trello community board. We hope this sparks some creativity and action, so you can help shape our project in a more direct manner. Every contribution counts!

ShadowProject.io

We got a bit tired of constantly being bombarded by our new members that are searching for all the URLs they need. So we've added a "Quick Link" navigation bar to our website, so if you need anything it's probably right there

Isidor Zeuner
We think it is time to clear the air up once and for all about Isidor Zeuner. Currently he is unresponsive to both e-mail and telephone so there is that. The funds are in his control, but remain untouched.

Let us be clear that this is not the end of this story. We'll make sure to give his name a bad reputation on any online freelancing platform he resides.

This guy became a ghost, his website went offline and his telephone numbers became unresponsive. We've been digging through heaps of information and everything leads to a dead end. This guy might as well be dead.

If anyone has any information about Isidor Zeuner, then contact us on Slack.

Is this the end for a cryptographic review? no.


Future Development
There are currently a lot of tasks in progress, most of them nearly finished. We'll be releasing more details once we have a viable solution ready. We have a few surprises ready for you.

Best Regards,
The Shadow Team

I would run "repairwallet" and "rewindchain 2000" and if that doesnt work i would pop into slack and spam whine hahahah

Yes it is.  All 90+ pages of transactions are marked with the black "?".

Is your system clock synced up with internet time?

Running v1.4.0.3.  I got everything update and it is sync'ing without problem but none of my transactions are showing confirmed.  All stakes in the transaction list have a black "?".  I think it is a display error.  When I double click the transaction it says that they are confirmed.  "Status: 3575 confirmations"

staking is working well for me on mah raspberry pi you might just want to restart your wallet yubsep

traxx: U need to stake 24/7

I am staking some of mature SDC and didn't receive any reward from 4 days ago !!

traxx: I cant wait for the market really excited
