Sure, I wasn't suggesting SDC make any kind of special arrangement with these markets.

What I meant is, bluntly, does anybody here buy or sell their dope on dark markets? It's been decades since I've used dope (so long ago, they were still calling it dope  ) so I don't know anything about how it is trafficked now. If so, what premium do you think people would be willing to pay to use SDC with ZK over BTC, which could theoretically be traced and create problems for buyer or seller? And would not a person living in a country where you get executed for that activity be willing to pay an even higher premium? Using the coin like that will provide a consistent and reliable price advantage of SDC/Shadow relative to BTC.

Now a real coup for the coin would be to provide it in a form that is easily usable by whores. Even where that is not a serious crime it is still a major embarrassment to be caught at it and men will and already do pay huge premiums to avoid detection, which can lead to divorce and loss of one's career. You would need an Android light wallet (because whores use phones not computers) and you would also need one-touch conversion to a fiat debit card. Secure communication with at least photo transfer through the wallet would probably also be necessary, and it would have to be as easy to use as SMS, Facebook, Skype, or any of those things that are intended for very common people. The reason why I think prostitution will be the killer app for crypto is that a whore has no suppliers she has to pay, and thus has no need to quickly dump the coin. It will also make prostitution arrests a thing of the past, because at least in the US if you can't prove funds changed hands you can't prove prostitution.

It's not sinking in is it? This coin is a scam because it will never have value. The big holders will dump and they will ruin the name. They have been dumping since the latest release. The broader crypto community will not buy this coin because the brand has been destroyed by the fud trolls that come from shadow. It's neat what the Ryno did here, but FFS it's not the best anon. Not by a long shot.

No. That's not the problem. The problem is the toxic community of this coin. I thought I would be safe to buy after a dip from 40k, but it has just kept going down. The community here attacked so many coins that it just can't win adoption. There is no healing of the wounds. There are too many bad memories. You can not trust this community. You can not trust the biggest holders because they actively go out and ruin the name of the coin. If you bought thinking you found a good thing, you didn't you found the poison pill. Get out before you get dumped on.

The irresponsible devs who delete every post should keep my warning up. It will protect new investors who will lose money here. This coin will never have value. By deleting this message, you just contribute to the scam that is shadow.

I did request a noob friendly maintenance mode that would do some of these things so i assume it will come down in a furtur update.

try this in the Help>Debug Window>Console


Note: replace "<number>" and put the amount of blocks you want to rewind. I would try going back a 100 blocks to start with. Then restart.

Obviously u tried restarting the wallet? And your PC maybe?

Launched my wallet a few mins ago and synced up fine. No probs here.

What version? You should be on 1.3.0.6.

You mean like if rhinos and ponies are the same 'cause they're both mammals + have 4 legs?



LOL, just havin some fun 

Once again, look carefully at the quote you copied from above:


I was not the one that compared Shadow with cryptonote, Longenecker was. I responded to the innaccuracy in his post, just as I've responded to the many inaccuracies in yours.

I'm not familar with this technovert. What else has he accomplished?

Assuming your developer is not a cryptographer and employed the assistance of one, that speaks well of him. There are certainly aspects of shadowsenc that are different from cryptonote (such as the way it integrates with the non-anonymous SDC), and any changes or differences in context should be reviewed by a cryptographer, yes.

What case?

I was quoted, and then someone claimed that "cryptonote simply obfuscates the outputs, whereas Shadow destroys them" which is complete and utter nonsense. The subsequent discussion explained how minting and redeeming has nothing to do with anonymity and in fact could impair it under some conditions.

Everyone reading it except you seemed to get the point. Open your mind a bit, some good info might find its way in there.

I notice that I was quoted above.

There is no huge difference guys. Shadow is using almost exactly the same protocol (and methods of providing anonymity) as cryptonote with some minor tweaks (fewer denominations for each digit, which either way is a reasonable but somewhat arbitrary trade off between chain size and anonymity set size)

Question, can cryptonote coins slot in updated technology to there code without starting from scratch? because i know SDC can without starting from scratch so yeah maybe it's based on the same technique as cryptonote but it can be improved and it's faster and slimmer and the wallet is the best looking and functioning wallet in the crypto world with chat and many extras coming soon so right now we win   we will have mobile wallets in the near future with all this tech would like to see any of the cryptonote coins pull that off.
