Topic: [SDC] ShadowCash | Welcome to the UMBRA - page 80. (Read 1289635 times)
This coin has a big potential and if the market comes out and the price is climbing, everything is possible... This can be a life changer to a lot of people... hope we can use this market soon to trade...
It was about time that we wrote a small update on our recent progress. The decentralized marketplace is still in development, but a few team members decided to tackle **side projects** that are heavily intertwined with The Shadow Project.
We'd like to thank all the people who donated in response to the last update. We've gathered about **$130** in funds to support development. While it isn't much, we are very grateful for the donators. **Anyone who donated should hop on slack and the team will personally thank you for your contributions.**

If you have never donated, please consider doing so. If you don't have any money, consider contributing your time and experience to our project. Hell, even popping by to have a chat and thank the team is a nice gesture.
To those that have donated, contributed and keep our chat alive: you are the people that drive us and we thank you.
Shadow Installer
Quote
"With all great software, comes a great installer."
A quote by a wise old Chinese programmer.
We have always aimed to be an easy solution without having to make compromises in the field of security or privacy. Our goal was simple: create an installer that takes care of everything we believe is essential.
THE LIST:
- Secure deployment of software.
- Automatically install and configure third party software such as **Tor** and **I2P**.
- A clear interface that allows for dummy-proof installation.
- Educate users about the risks and advantages of each component.
- Support multiple operating systems.
The installer is currently *in development* but is already functional.
- [✔] Basic interface [Linux, Windows, OS X]
- [✔] Install Tor [Linux, Windows]
- [✔] Download all files through Tor and HTTPS [Linux, Windows, OS X]
- [✔] Install ShadowCash client [Linux, Windows, OS X]
- [✔] Bootstrap the client through blockchain.zip method [Linux, Windows, OS X]
Not done yet:
- [✘] A beautiful interface.
- [✘] Update mechanism for ShadowCash and Tor.
- [✘] Automatically check files against signed checksums for increased security.
- [✘] Implement a smarter way to start Tor on Windows, the service deployment is a bit buggy.
Side projects
A select group of the team is getting involved in incorporating ShadowCash into new and established projects, which are not directly operated by the Shadow Team but form a great symbiosis and will certainly have the potential to become important pieces of the ecosystem in the near future. We're very excited about these, but we want to have something to show for when we release the news.

Cool. When the new installer will be released?
So there is no ETA for Shadow Installer?
Don't rush the team, they are working in their own time frames, just buy shadow while waiting, I bought around 25 and been selling for 32-34 for a while now, the market behavior works great for this kind of trading, getting very nice profit so far so just let the team work, every ETA for crypto is SOON.
Rather than selling off valuable coins to make a quick few bucks, I would suggest SDC is a very strong buy and hold at these prices. If the list of SDC projects in the works are successfully released in the near future, this coin will soon mop the floor with most of the current top 20 coins. A relatively modest investment will get you into the top 100 investors.

Every trader has their own strategies, I am very comfortable making "quick few bucks" (around 4btc profit so far) without risking getting dumped, I minimize the risk, get profits and save a few just in case, without risking but profiting from it, don't get me wrong, nice tech, but im here to make btc.
Just saying, most of the real wealth has been made by picking a winner and riding it out. 4 BTC wouldn't keep me going more than a week.
Same can be said of people losing their money by picking something that seems like the winner and riding it out, change that to 7 now, rinse and repeat
First of all, we aren't talking about buying the equivalent of a few thousand shares of Boeing, or even a couple hundred, or probably even a few dozen. We are talking about investing in something that is essentially a penny stock. The point is, for most of us a few hundred bucks won or lost isn't going to make any difference in our lifestyle. Having a few hundred bucks turn into tens of thousands definitely will have an affect on the average person's lifestyle. I've seen it happen a many times in the last 4 years.
Yes, there is always the possibility that SDC will fail. But if it takes off as I expect it will, those who collected every coin possible will be the real winners. Those who made a few BTC buying and selling will be kicking themselves in the ass. And yeah I have lost plenty investing in other coins, but I can say with confidence none of them had anything close to what SDC has going for it.
dadon: ^ wow...now that's rare
Great post mate glad to see there's still some people out there who care about the movement more then the money.
Great post mate glad to see there's still some people out there who care about the movement more then the money.
Hey just wanted to swing by and say keep up the hard work. From one dev to another. The wallet looks nice. 
If you need any advice on how to use the "cold staking" method of posv3 just lemme know(but via pm or reddit i hardly use bitcointalk). I finally did my first multisig stake last week in BLK(original pos3). Its here:
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/blk/tx.dws?6ef2849263110c5c6dc6443766be883ea1798851cba45ad6eda9903ba283762c.htm
Its pretty straightforward as you can see in the script.
I know how hard it is to code this stuff doing it first hand in Halo and am happy to see you have chosen bitmessage channels for markets. As we have been using them successfully for a few years now. You might want to modify your bitmessage to resubmit messages every 2 days. If you read the fine print, Bitmessage re-sends 2-4-8-16 day intervals or something like this. Which can result in lost messages if parties don't log in frequently. The network needs to always have a copy of outbound messages in contracts or else you can lose coins if the message you are sending is paramount to the transaction. Unless you are using blockchain messaging while in escrow. Anyways, its easy to modify. If I remember correctly it was only a couple lines to change.
Also, you might want to be careful in combining Tor with Bitcoin since I've heard there is a cheap attack that compromises anonymity.
It would be interesting to see how a person could correlate ip addresses that use all 3 (correlate tor, bitmessage and the coin network). I've always liked i2p the best.
I would be interested in reading the NIZKP implementation as I've always wondered how it can be applied proactively in a p2p network. (I'm fully aware of how zkp works and how the setup of nizkp works but am unsure of how tokens are transferred as I read about the minting and pouring process of zerocoin and was a bit confused.) And plus am wondering how the ip of a broadcast of a transaction can be correlated to a proof. (until there is mesh networks and 3d printed open source electronics there may never be true anon)
But I'm just musing aloud as usual...
Good luck y'all

RASPBERRY PI STAKING!
I have now run my first solid week of stakes with no errors. On two coins actually at the same time. Running your OS and blockchain from USB is MANDATORY at this point for any staking on a Raspberry Pi for any coin if you want it to be a reliable performer. This guide on how to do that works perfect for UBUNTU MATE which is the distro I used and recommend. http://www.instructables.com/id/Boot-the-Raspberry-Pi-from-USB/
Make sure to use a FAT32 USB. Not a 128gb exFAT. I used the Samsung 32GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive (MUF-32BA/AM) since it is the best performing on the market (fastest read/write speeds). You might be able to swap your ROOT over to a 128gb exFAT after setup, I just haven't tried it yet.
Once you have your BOOT (boot partition) on your SD card and your ROOT (OS partition) on your USB you can run through the following guide in terminal.
The cool thing about this is that the resource swap actually uses your USB so if you have the room you could set it to whatever you want and since it is USB you don't have to worry about burning out your SD card. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
Also to update simply cd into /shadow and run:

I've got the wallet up and staking on Lesbian, same procedure works. It's also running Peerbox for Peercoin. I am using the SD card, no sign of heat or performance issues after a day, I'll let you know after a week! So far it's all running just like it did on a desktop.
The reason I'm confident is people have been staking SHA-256 full nodes with Peerbox for a couple of years now and there are no reports of any problem with the SD card. So it might have been a one-off, or something specific to Ubuntu. Of course all wallets are backed up, just in case.
Did you setup peerbox as a stand alone os or run their installer or compile from source?
Installed it with the apt-get. Nothing to it. But you need Debian, tried it, won't run on Mate.
extremistan: Yea there are some massive buy walls right now at around 30k
Shadow price looks great at the moment, hope 30k is the new bottom. Are there any news about Shadow market and it´s release date?

I cleared the shadow folder and got the blockchain downloaded. Wallet says up-to-date now but now all my stakes have been mined but not accepted. Any others having issues?
Check you have the most recent client, the latest is version: 1.4.0.3
If you need to get the latest download you can get it from https://shadow.cash
(do not download directly from links on this forum as they may be replaced with viruses)

dadon: Hopefully we can somehow add instant $>btc conversation to the wallet so we can cut the middle men out all together until then ibthink we will have a currencyswap like localbtc built into the market.
But once again im not positive im not on the team
This to me would open so many more doors, especially to those who find acquiring BTC equally difficult. Build a separate in-wallet market to buy and sell SDC directly from payment processors dealing in various fiat currencies and payment methods. But once again im not positive im not on the team
Silly me, I thought this was SDC thread but I see Scofield must have been mistaken about which thread he posted his bullcrap advertising in. This thread is about privacy and consumer protection through multiple layers of anonymity which is entirely different from sys.
Any involvement of btc at all creates a weak link for anonymity. Plus another factor of volatility until btc gets their act straightened out.
Best would be a network of in-person exchange and that would get a lot of money guys interested in keeping sdt in stock thus supporting the price. The mobile wallets will be needed for that to be practicable.

Once you have your BOOT (boot partition) on your SD card and your ROOT (OS partition) on your USB you can run through the following guide in terminal.
Code:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo apt-get install git qt5-default qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev-tools qttools5-dev-tools build-essential libboost-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev libssl-dev libdb++-dev libminiupnpc-dev libqt5webkit5-dev
$ git clone https://github.com/shadowproject/shadow
$ sudo apt-get install dphys-swapfile
$ sudo nano /etc/dphys-swapfile
scroll to: CONF_SWAPSIZE=
change it to: CONF_SWAPSIZE=2048
Ctrl + O to write/save
hit enter
Ctrl + x to exit
$ sudo /etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile stop
$ sudo /etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile start
cd shadow
qmake
make
$ sudo nano /etc/dphys-swapfile
scroll to: CONF_SWAPSIZE=2048
change it to: CONF_SWAPSIZE=
Ctrl + O to write/save
hit enter
Ctrl + x to exit
$ sudo /etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile stop
$ sudo /etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile start
make sure you are in /shadow and run ./shadow
Also to update simply cd into /shadow and run:
Code:
$ git pull
dadon: Being able to change btc to sdc in the wallet is an amazing tool of convinence now all we need is a way to buy with fiat in the wallet instantly untill sdc can stand alone with fiat or btc these things are necessary
dadon: If we want sdc to be successful it must be easy to obtain untill the infrastructure is built atms that accept sdc fiat exchanges that accept sdc we need to make do with whats available
dadon: Hopefully we can somehow add instant $>btc conversation to the wallet so we can cut the middle men out all together until then ibthink we will have a currencyswap like localbtc built into the market.
But once again im not positive im not on the team
This to me would open so many more doors, especially to those who find acquiring BTC equally difficult. Build a separate in-wallet market to buy and sell SDC directly from payment processors dealing in various fiat currencies and payment methods. But once again im not positive im not on the team
Silly me, I thought this was SDC thread but I see Scofield must have been mistaken about which thread he posted his bullcrap advertising in. This thread is about privacy and consumer protection through multiple layers of anonymity which is entirely different from sys.
I have a workstation pc that I rarely turn off. Due to storms, the power went of several times over the last week. Now when loading the wallet it will not sync and my wallet balance is missing like 5,000 SDC. I've tried rebooting and restarting the wallet. Anyone have some suggestions? Do I need to clear the folder and re-download the blockchain?
The fastest way is to use the ultra fast sync:
