Is everyone aware of what a major step the new GUI is for crypto? Let me connect the dots for anyone that can't read between the lines.
The new GUI is not just a graphical update, but a complete rewrite and design of Shadow's framework. The first step was the SPV (ShadowLite) system which allows for lighting quick syncing to the blockchain, while still securing the PoS network. The GUI release is an entirely modular HTML5/CSS3 wallet written in C++.
Some of you might be thinking to yourselves "WTF does that mean?"
Answer: This opens up a new door for privacy-based zero knowledge application development and redefines the meaning of a cryptocurrency wallet. The new wallet has the potential to function more like a decentralized version of Steam, Chrome Web Store, Google Play or Apple's App store with it's own financial layer (ShadowCash). Developers will be able to design and build privacy-based plugins like apps or games that run right on the Shadow wallet.
Again some of you might be asking "WTF does this mean?"
Answer: This introduces and entirely new element to the ecosystem where devs or entrepreneurs can sell their work for Shadow or introduce in-app purchases that use Shadow. Also with the built-in messaging system (ShadowChat) this makes the ecosystem even more functional. Access to a future ShadowChat API will permit that functionality inside of their apps or games.
For example: In a Shadow poker application, users will not only be able to bet against one another, but also chat directly inside of the poker room. The developer might even sell the poker app for SDC or introduce fee based structures where the Poker app makes a % of the wins etc.
The release of the new lite wallet functionality and GUI are major cornerstones for Shadow. The next phase for the wallet is optimizing Shadow's API and documenting it for new devs and entrepreneurs. Designing the next generation of zero knowledge privacy applications will require proper documentation. After the zero knowledge and ShadowChat updates are released, it'll free up time for that. Eventually, what you'll see are Core applications like ShadowChat built by the Shadow team and community applications like the sample Poker app. Similar to Facebook core apps like messenger and Facebook developer apps like FarmVille.
