Why is it one outspoken fan like CH represents the entire SDC community yet the army of Darkcoin shill bots on twitter don't speak for it? That is all i've been hearing lately is people annoyed by CH as if Dark or Monero don't have dozens if not hundreds of shill accounts.

The reason you're adding more coins is you're not getting much if at all traffic from DRK/DASH people despite provocative straw men attacks. Maybe DarkNote or Navajoe coin guys will give your ad thread steady periodical bumps and visibility.

Oops.. I fell for it again.  

They should ask Dan Metcalf, he can review any coin in a day or two max.

So what happens if Shadow tokens end up on an exchange? Is there any way for that to happen without the exchange wallet generating a stealth address?

That might be a good way to enhance the privacy even further, if someone was doing direct conversions from Shadow tokens to something else.

Spending Shadow
There are two ways in which Shadow tokens can be spent: they can be sent as Shadow tokens or
redeemed as SDC.
1. When sent as Shadow tokens, new tokens are minted for the recipient to the value of the
input Shadow minus the transaction fee.
2. When redeemed as SDC, new SDC is created to the value of the input Shadow minus the
transaction fee.
In both cases the input tokens become unspendable.
The transaction fee for spending Shadow is 100x greater than the fee for standard transactions. This
is to cover the cost of the extra activity required by the network to transmit, verify and store shadow
transactions, which are larger and require more processing than standard transactions.
In order to spend Shadow, we use ring signatures to sign the transaction[5][6]. Our scheme consists
of three functions, generateRingSignature, generateKeyImage, verifyRingSignature.
For efficiency’s sake, when spending Shadow, we get a list of all anonymous outputs in the system,
then we remove coins that don't have enough same value outputs in the system, then we choose
the smallest coin or least number of smallest coins that can cover the amount + transaction fee.
Each Shadow coin has its own private key, so when spending Shadow, each coin or anonymous
input, will need to have its own ring signature generated, and will then have to be verified.
❖ generateRingSignature
➢ Executed by the sender / signer, when spending Shadow.
➢ After executing generateRingSignature, the ring signature will have to be verified.
➢ Takes an input­output / reference to the keyImage, the transaction hash, the ring size,
the secret key offset, the secret key for signing the transaction, a list of public keys for
all the coins or outputs in the ring signature and the ring signature, and a hash of the
transaction in which the signature is included (preimage).
❖ generateKeyImage
➢ Executed by the receiver, when receiving Shadow➢ The key image is revealed to the network to prevent a token from being spent more
than once.



From the Whitepaper

Basically, shadow is the anonymous component of SDC.

It is created by burning SDC.  When it is redeemed, new SDC is created on the blockchain. 

It is my understanding that as more and more Shadow is created, more and more anon inputs/outputs are also created, strengthening the anon component of the network as it is used over time.

yes i build everything from source after reviewing it a little.

A quick google search seems to suggest that this is not standard qt build, am i correct?

Are you building the 1.3.1.0 source?

So far i have fixed the "sleep" errors and am now getting QWebView: No such file or directory

Holy fuck volume ive been gone for a few days. You guys think SDC can hit .50 within 12 months?


- Sorry for sounding like an asshole about the HTML wallet earlier. However there are too many advantages of being able to put the SDC core on a USB stick and give it to associates of mine and people that work with me. It would make things easier. No HTML. I work for people older than myself that do not understand crypto at all...our uncles. It took along time before they approved us using the darkmarkets and their products. I have to present SDC to them at the correct time and when the time comes i want SDC to be appealing and have the most real world use cases as possible. Right now it has a ton of potential with the non HTML wallet and everything built in...that is the future. This is something many many people who are involved in many things are in desperate need of. I can not tell you how much respect i have for the devs that put this entire thing together. I just want this project to succeed as mush as you all do.

Just tried to build SDC in my windows environment, no dice. I told them about it before and they just shrugged it off.

Can I propose that the Amber ratings under Anon for Darkcoin are changed to green until somebody comes up with any proof to the contrary?  If somebody proves link-ability or trace-ability thny its obviously an instant red (until fixed).

What does it matter. Let the kids have their fun.

While we're at it, I'd also like to suggest adding lines "much hype" and "sad results". I'll let others suggest the colors.

stop this ridiculous free promo

For real? I bought some SDC tonight as the Darkcoin to Dash rebrand might get some people to abandon ship. Is this Shadowdash now? People are fucking with me I think? Darkcash was a Carsen coin, but a good name.

Oh yea my bad, that changes everything. 

I'm usually here lurking and looking for ways to bash this coin, but to answer your question and to be fair, the devs have already done it to an extent.

They have put one part of cryptonote on top of the PoS SDC blockchain. The difference from a true cryptonote+PoS hybrid is that the cryptonote layer runs on top of the PoS block chain much like zerocoin would run on top of bitcoin. Here they substitute cryptonote-type ring signatures for the zkSNARKs of zerocoin. It's a good idea, actually, from a purely theoretical perspective.

Now here is the bashing part: cryptonote ring signatures cause a lot of blockchain bloat. The SDC implementation compounds this problem with the clunkiness of a zero-coin type token system. It's a great proof-of-concept, but in my opinion, it's not going to be practical. I could be wrong. Time will tell if it gets adopted, used, and is maintainable.

lol, who did that
