Introducing: ShadowSend Hey guys, I am pleased to announce that we have successfully implemented Anonymous Stealth Addresses into our upcoming wallet release. The stealth system was first described by Peter Todd for use with Bitcoin but to our knowledge, we have developed the first open source C++ implementation of Anonymous Stealth Addresses using OpenSSL. A version of stealth addresses has been implemented by SX and DarkWallet, but our implementation has been developed completely independent of either project. We have developed Dual-Key Stealth Addresses, which allow transactions to be received even while the wallet is closed, and for security, the coins will not be spendable until the wallet is unlocked. Our stealth solution has been developed for ShadowCoin but we believe that our implementation is the best currently available and will be used for bitcoin in the near future. This week we will be releasing ShadowSend, a capable, efficient and decentralized anonymous wallet solution that does not rely on coinjoin or any centralized node structure. This wallet will allow transactions to remain anonymous while the stealth address system is used. ShadowSend's stealth addresses will soon be layered with zk-snarks to further increase security and privacy of the anonymous solution, this will be the first system of its kind available in bitcoin or altcoins. Stay tuned for more information in the days to follow.
The white paper for stealth addresses has existed since January, for more information on the significance of stealth addresses, please check the links listed below. Bitcoin Stealth WP:http://sourceforge.net/p/bitcoin/mailman/message/31813471/Articles on Stealth Addresses:http://www.coindesk.com/stealth-addresses-secret-bitcoin-privacy/http://sx.dyne.org/stealth.htmlhttp://ro.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1v7ayg/revolution_in_bitcoin_privacy_stealth_addresses/https://wiki.unsystem.net/en/index.php/DarkWallet/Stealth “This just makes it more convenient for regular users to do the right thing and maintain their own privacies. This is about making bitcoin privacy easier for normal people.” - Peter Todd “So far, bitcoin users had had to pick between simplicity and privacy, stealth addresses let us have our cake and eat it.” - Mike Hearn Just for clarification, ShadowSend is already completed and ready to go. We will be releasing it in a wallet update next week. Stay tuned for more info!
Incredible...an alt coin developed a project bitcoin will use. This is awesome! |

sorry if noob question, but how much costs sending message? thanx
I love to help noobs. Each message costs 10,000 SDC - must be sent to addy listed below prior to sending. ShmeLacQU7K9tbdfYpmVWQP1U2hYnK3xSs You're welcome...  Money is on its way! Do I just need to post the body of the message in this thread? If so, I want it to read... "Thanks for the great time last night. Unfortunately, my rash has gotten worse. Are you sure you're in remission? It's cool either way. xoxo" which one are you again? |

I don't care about where the code-base originates from. Everything we do is a based on distant BTC code at some point... Who cares? I just want innovation which it looks like I am getting.
SDCdev wrote the code...SDCdev is Rynomster. He is one of the most capable devs in any altcoin. The guy is genius level... |

HaHa fudMan...you did not see that the Rynomster is the dev of ShadowCoin...kiss this!  |

The code and WP appear similar because it was my team wrote the code and WP for Cinni. I was not the original developer of CinniCoin, I just built the encrypted messaging system. My team and I decided to create the ShadowCoin project so we would have the freedom to implement our innovations as we saw best. I can assure you that the ShadowChat EM system is much improved from the original EM system that we developed for Cinni. Here is a list of improvements that ShadowChat EM has over the EM system we developed for Cinni: - Instant Messaging UI
- Conversation Grouping
- Single Database - uses levelDB instead of berkeleyDB
- More efficient
- BBCode (coming soon) and rich text display
I can confirm that I am sdcoin / SDCDev / lead developer of ShadowCoin Rynomster is SDCdev...this is HUGE! He may be the most capable dev in any altcoin. |

The idea of encrypted messaging is great but who are you going to talk to? Only other ShadowCoin holders? So to use this I have to get all my friends, family, associates, Asian massage girls, drug dealers, etc. to download the ShadowCoin wallet and then go to Coinbase, sign-up, wait a week for Coinbase to approve them to withdraw fiat from their bank account to buy bitcoins, buy said Bitcoins, send these Bitcoins to Bittrex, sell them for ShadowCoin, and then send the ShadowCoin to their wallet? As someone into computers the above is actually kind of a cool process. Now imagine trying to step a girl-friend, a Craigslist whore or your stoner room-mate through that process. Furthermore, how often to most people text stuff that absolutely positively has to be private? The only need I can see is if you're doing large drug deals or something illegal like that. The mafia, etc. might very well like this coin but are there enough of them texting each other to build up a significant user base? this coin is going to dump so hard when people come to terms and realize the coin does absolutely nothing, who wants to have a convo on there wallet? wallets are for storing coins. i think its all just hyped from twitter which is driving the price on its own. not trying to talk down the coin just popping my opinion in.
tips for being successful in life
step 1 - make poo coin with child like name GHOST FANTOM SHADOW or MYSTERY
step 2 - talk smack about encrypted msging that nobody has use for
step 3 - profittt$$$$$$$$$$$ cash in on your heavily mined or "bounty & giveaway" premine coins
step 4 - Hawaii bitches
That is not what encrypted messaging is for...use your head fudster. Why would anyone want to arrange the specific details of a transaction and disclose personal information over p2p encrypted messaging that has full AES256 encryption before the message is ever broadcast?...ask Snowden, Target, Facebook, Apple...ect. >>> http://heavy.com/tech/2013/03/a-timeline-of-companies-that-have-been-hacked-in-2013/ |

question from someone new to this coin to others who've been more closely following it:
could anyone summarise what's special about it?
were basic aspects ready at launch - wallet, blockexplorer, website, whitepaper and/or features, etc. - or is the [ANN] promise-heavy?
have the devs delivered on their promises? No promises only features delivered. Its been very proffessional.
Any hidden problems - no
premines? No.
instamines? No.
well distributed? is there a rich list? Not sure. There can be one.
buggy code? No.
are these are hard core programmers, not "copy-paste" devs or middlemen? When bugs/fork challenge pop up, are they fixed quickly?
dev squabbles? Yes, they seem professional.
dev complacency? They're active, nothing bad so far.
missed deadlines? No.
any "proof of developer"? Is the entirte dev team anonymous -- and even if so, does it at least have a solid reputation here on bitcointalk?
How does the coin production/distribution setup provide insulation from the risk of massive miner/whale dumps? Is there an estimate out there of the max # of daily BTC trading volume that might be needed to absorb mined coins? Google "Satoshi Nakamoto"
Anything to worry about? Yes. Not buying under 10k
When is the next significant development update (code, screenshots and/or whitepaper/proof-of-concept or something else?) expected to come out? They're rolling out something. Not sure what or when
Edited, lol  lol thank you. i have been up all night. haha, this is how I was going to answer....well done! |

Why does this coin have so much trading volume? Only 22 pages in the tread, and seems dead. Is the developer trading his premined coins with himself?
"NO PREMINE, NO IPO"- This community hangs out in IRC not on this ann. This is where BS fudsters like yourself reside. |
|
|
|
So no anon transfers yet just messaging right?
Encrypted Messaging and new wallet was just released. The coin is only two weeks old...great progress!   |
|
|

I get the idea of newbie account to include coin name.......but if your not scamming you should let every know your other I.D's on this forum so they can check you out.....as for me I'll watch this new coin same as I watch
many others........give it 6 months or so and see if it delivers......Cheers and good luck
The ONLY thing this coin has done is deliver...watch away mate! |

Wow, you guys replied quickly. You're obviously really enthusiastic. I'd think about reconsidering not talking about features until they exist. I don't think you'll survive otherwise. I understand why you might take this stance, but it doesn't make you look more genuine than other coins, it makes you look directionless and uninteresting. This is meant as constructive criticism. There's nothing wrong with stating your goals if you're confident they can be achieved. Good luck  Thanks...many can see the value. If you are not able...its ok. thx |

All little things but you can tell this is no PnD scam coin. First real deal coin out in a long time.
Says a lot about the current state of altcoins that a coin no longer needs to have distinguishing features beyond it not being a PnD scam. Look at the git. Look at the explorer. Look at the wallets and network monitor (debug console). Look at the speed of transactions. Look the vid of the EM being released tonight. Hi guys, We are pleased to reveal that we have dedicated team comprised of several highly qualified developers that are working full-time on innovative features to be added to ShadowCoin. We will not make promises or provide a "roadmap" as other coins have, but we will announce and release the features as they are completed. Introducing: ShadowChatThe first feature completed is our Instant P2P Encrypted Messaging System... aka ShadowChat! This is the first system of it's kind in crypto currency! Below you will find links to both a demo video + whitepaper... enjoy! ShadowChat Release Date: Wednesday 7/30/14We've put together a demo video of the EM UI that will be released for our ShadowChat system: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ra9E7Il6hpsWe've also put together a whitepaper regarding the ShadowChat EM details: ShadowCoin Secure Messaging: A p2p Encrypted Instant Messaging System |

Can you guys at least hint at the planned features? There are a lot of coins around, and from what I can see this is just a scrypt coin with a fair launch. That's just not enough to cut it anymore.
I think that is out of the question from what I have seen. All scam coins promise the world out of the box to PnD the shit out of everyone. These devs need to be respected...they deliver one project at a time and don't hype. Look at the git. Look at the explorer. Look at the wallets and network monitor (debug console). Look at the speed of transactions. Look the vid of the EM being released tonight. All little things but you can tell this is no PnD scam coin. First real deal coin out in a long time. |

I don't think your FUD crusade is gonna work, everyone here knows you're trolling so... how is he trolling ? following statement from him "U are paying 12K for coin launched in thread of 13 pages by newbie account and traded on fifth-rate exchange that even yet get reviewed." is correct. |
|

One thing is certainly true about this coin (as of now): When I hit Withdraw button on C-Cex, it took about 2 seconds to show up in my wallet...BRAVO! I noticed that too. This coin is blazingly fast. |

A coin that really has potential, and is just rolling out updates after updates. Good backing, good dev, innovations incoming according to the plan posted above.
WARNING. IMBECILITY. AGAIN. How do you FUD a coin that has made no promises, gone through a two week distribution peroid and delivered a revolutionary p2p privacy solution? Where is the scam again? Huh? Don't u think ICG/PRO/RVC/JUDGE/ESC should worth much more in regards of promises and money supply? Check announcement page and go find another 600 clones. This one went from 1 to 10 in one day. Don't we sit in the nuthouse? Argue at very least one logical point why are there 5btc at 7600 on cex exchange? ICG 200 satoshis, SDC 8000 satoshis. Post ur logic. This coin has made no promises. Anyone can promise anything, how do promises relate to value? I see a revolutionary p2p privacy product being actually released TODAY! All the scam coins had one thing in common...promises. This coin has no promises only delivery of features. To me, actual delivery is of higher value than any words u can type on an announcement. If you do not agree...move along. There is no scam to warn of here because there have been no promises made. |

The best WP explanation i've seen in crypto. These are professionals. It is about time we get a coin with more than BS promises. Thx dev! |
