They weren't devs, and they tried to steal the code for their other projects. It's a good thing they got kicked out.

Good video, good girl.

You may have heard of IPFS thanks to it’s genius creator, Juan Benet, or through the much talked about Filecoin which recently held an ICO that was restricted to only Angel investors, but we are still waiting for it’s product. Luckily for us, it is not the only platform allowed to use IPFS.
Shift has been building their blockchain platform on top of the IPFS protocol for some time now.
Shift is a delegated proof of stake blockchain that allows for 101 nodes to get paid for maintaining the network. The Shift blockchain is also turing complete, meaning it supports smart contract for fast development and use of dApps.

Here’s an easy way to understand how IPFS and platforms like Shift and Filecoin interact:
Imagine IPFS is the backend and projects like Shift are the front end. IPFS is the foundation on top of which Shift can build a place for decentralized, distributed storage, marketplaces, dApps, and social media… just to name a few.

Shift has a working platform that is easily accessible by the public. Even though the current transactions are happening on the Shift test network, you can check the transaction on their official website under the “Tools” tab and select the “Explorer” option. Here’s the cool part, Shift will very soon be making the move to their main network. Meaning their platform will officially go live. The first dApp that will be live on Shift is called Phantom, it’s a decentralized storage app.
If you’re interested in building dApps on this platform you’ll be happy to know that you can earn a passive income by the side chain fees your app creates.
For those of you who are ready to begin experiencing what IPFS can do I suggest heading over to the Shift website and getting started already!

If you learned something from this post kindly leave an up vote, and share this one with your friends so we can all nerd out over IPFS together If you’re new to this channel consider giving me a follow so you can get your weekly fix of all things crypto.

nice video im really excited for this month
phantom is almost ready would be also great when people test it so the devs can remove some bugs
im also excited for the new website and presentation of shift when the product is ready

Life goes on.

@team It is with great regret to inform you all that @seatrips and I are resigning from Shift. We have enjoyed working to bring Shift where it is now for the last 10 months, but we have faced incredible resistance from Ralfs and Goldeneye regarding rights, obligations, and most importantly compensation. We cannot afford to invest any more of our energy and time at this point, it’s a never-ending discussion that will likely never conclude.

Rise:

The Rise Team asked us to help them out. Seatrips and I invested countless hours to set up their new mainnet and we do not intend on sharing the compensation we received with the individuals who did not contribute.
Oxycoin:

Before starting Oxycoin, I asked Ralfs to collaborate with us on the project. In my opinion (which coincides with many others), a mobile platform such as Oxycoin will contribute to increasing adoption and growth of the existing dPOS projects. Ralfs told me a mobile application was unnecessary and that I should only focus on Shift.
Discussion:

Ralfs wants to get paid (500,000 RISE) by us for forking Shift (like Shift forked Lisk).
He is paying new members whilst having an unpaid debt for the 10 months of hard labor with old dedicated members like seatrips, mq, goldeneye and myself.
Seatrips and I regret this situation very much as we both believe in Shift and want to continue working on it. Ralfs fired seatrips for having a different opinion, and threatened us with a channel mention giving you all "the facts" like he sees it. He also told me to take a step down from Shift last month because of my work on Rise and Oxycoin, and ironically now demands money for something he did not collaborate on entirely. We will not accept this unethical way of doing business. Why should Shift Team members have to work for almost a year without payment? This is truly unfair treatment and consequently we must part ways.

We stand by our ethics, thus everyone from Rise and Oxycoin that deserves to be paid will actually get paid for their work. In conclusion, to stop the discussion with Ralfs - and therefore letting him win? - we are parting ways with Shift today. We cannot continue working with people who are unethical and refuse to pay us for our work.

Good bye, we wish you all the very best in your future endeavors.

Any prospect of SHIFT hardware wallet support? (ledger?) they just added Ark whose codebase is similar to Shifts I assume, so could be modified?

Any news on shift?

The mainnet is on track, but the coin gets hammered on bittrex.
I believe that the moment they will create the 1st decentralized website on the chain, it is going to be x10, but in the meantime, it's going downhill.

Yep. Phantom will be on mainnet.
