The new wallet doesn't even connect any peers and it shows I have a zero balance. Fix?

Follow the instructions....

Yes thats true. When a fork happens it means they are on different versions / chains. So it's really mandatory once the version gets released to update. If you would send your coins from an old version to a newer version, they would be lost in cyberspace.

Is a coin exchange going to be required?  if not, couldn't you just use a backup wallet and reload the blockchain under the new version?  If you transferred coins on the old chain, there would be no record of the coins being transferred on the new chain so the coins shouldn't be lost.  Right?  

No.... All you need todo is download and install the new wallet before the hard fork ....
If for whatever reason you are unable to, once the hard fork has been completed in order to send funds to say an exchange you will need to make sure you download the new wallet.

All it does is make it mandatory to upgrade to the latest wallet.

Re: the questions about forks, please do not let that confuse you. All you need todo is make sure you are running the latest wallet before sending/receiving shadow during his hard fork phase or just double check the transaction on the block explorer (that will confirm you are on the right chain).

Update: Tuesday, 20 April 2015


New ShadowCore Client Now Available For Public Testing


Our development team has been hard at work integrating new features into ShadowCore that will better support our upcoming ShadowMarket. In order to best support a P2P marketplace environment the ShadowCore client has been updated to prepare the network to switch from using Proof of Stake to Proof of Stake v2. PoS v2’s revised coin weight calculation encourages greater network stability by not factoring in “coin age”. Therefore saving up coin age is no longer possible so nodes will need to be online more in order to get their stake reward. It'll involve a move from scrypt to SHA256 which will mean staking requires less processing power (especially helpful for mobile users wishing to stake their coins). The new system is also designed to solve security issues which made PoS v1 coins open to certain theoretical attacks. For more information see Blackcoin's Proof-of-Stake Protocol v2 white paper.                
          


Great news, thanks!

So how will some wallets using SHA-256 while some others are using Scrypt on the same blockchain affect things?  It seems to me like the two algorithms would be at war with one another, with one not accepting the solved blocks of the other.

Once testing is finished and the hard fork is complete everyone will be using sha256 for PoS until then it remains as-is...

nodes?

Not having any luck syncing.

curious. i never had to manually enter nodes. you could try deleting the peers.dat and restarting wallet.

Tried that. No Luck.

Code:
"version" : "v0.9.1.0-44-g8971bc2",
    "protocolversion" : 60013,
    "walletversion" : 60000,
    "balance" : 0.00000000,
    "newmint" : 0.00000000,
    "stake" : 0.00000000,
    "blocks" : 0,
    "timeoffset" : 0,
    "moneysupply" : 0.00000000,
    "connections" : 0,



This must be a super super old wallet ... Please update to latest as protocol version < 60014 is no longer supported.

Today marks the start of a multi-channel marketing approach set up to create more awareness for The Shadow Project.
With this we hope to attract and inform even more people about Shadow, and to expand and strengthen the community and project further still.

This will be greater in scope than previous efforts to publicize the project and in particular we're hoping to start reaching those in the more general public who might also be interested in what we're doing. The campaign is set up and managed by community members, with the input of Shadow developers. So with that in mind we're pleased to announce that today officially marks the start of a publicity campaign we have all been working very hard on!

Just wondering what you guys think was this just a project that he made whilst being drunk in univeristy and decided to release it and it caught on fast or did he know that it was going to get this big?

It gets better and better ... What next? He coded it whilst sitting on the toilet one night?

I believe the price is manipulated by the big trading funds.
Ditto!
You can only stretch an elastic band so much ...

Hey all
We've been quite busy over the past 2 weeks, working on the PoSv2 merge + SHA-256 enhancements.
The PoS v2 merge is going well, and we should soon be upstream from BlackCoin once again.
Once we're ready, we will start getting everyone ready for the hard fork to PoS v2.

We're having a few issues with the Android wallet, but I'm trying my best to get those sorted.
Hopefully if all goes well, next week we will be able to announce a release date for the latest changes and android wallet.
The new android wallet will have the HTML5 interface, as well as the ability to switch between a full node and a lite node.

From here onwards we'll be doing major enhancements to the secure/encrypted messaging, which is required for the marketplace.

We thank you again for our amazing community, and all the effort that is going into this project from all around the world.
211  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Banks and Bitcoin on: April 12, 2015, 03:01:23 PM
I just don't see how the two are at all compatible. Banks exist for one reason: to control the money supply so they can tip the balance in favor the shareholders and owners. Bitcoin is neutral. You cannot manipulate it to enrich the few at the expense of everyone. If anything banks will see bitcoin as a threat and will launch a campaign that made the chinese fud last year look like a birthday party. Banks are the enemy. 

Banks will evolve. They may not even be called banks any more. But they provide a market for credit and will be around in one form or the other, even if Bitcoin succeeds.

Our entire existence has been about evolving and the banks will have to follow if they want to remain useful.
212  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Kaspersky and INTERPOL Say Blockchain is Vulnerable on: April 12, 2015, 02:58:55 PM
So it is no more vulnerable that any other P2P network (as you can just spread your virus information via torrents if you want to hidden in images or other files using steganography).

IMO it would actually make much more sense (and cost nothing) to use torrents over Bitcoin so the fact that the article focuses on Bitcoin and not other (free to use) data storage P2P networks is rather odd.


Exactly, considering one would also need a bitcoin client or a third party website to push/read the transaction on the network. If they are doing that then why not use a free secure/encrypted method.

The truth about Shadow is that it's to much innovation for most trolls to handle in one go  Cheesy.

It's a good question ... It will ultimately come down to how NEM is taken to market over the next 6-12 months.
