Thanks fearcoka, I made the video a couple weeks ago.. we can always swap out the music later if its too grimey still need to upload it to the main youtube channel for shadow..

Jimmies and Crz pimped out the shadowsend slideshow too: http://www.slideshare.net/shadowcash/presentation3-43827434

That's just the first phase (design), after revisions/feedback from designs we'll start with front end dev.

says the guy named stealthcoin. lmao

Thanks everyone who donated to the review! We'll post the results on shadowtalk as soon as as they come in.

If we missed any credit to donators, please post a reply on the sdtalk thread for the review, the amount donated and we'll add you up there.


Lol.. Why FUD the project Wheat? Maybe I'm missing the humor in your post, either way it's senseless.

Hi Litebit,

1a. No, you can't stake Shadows.
2a. Dasource is working on integrating it into the blockexplorer.
3a.

Thank you wheat for the 0.5 BTC contribution!


Cool, let's get that setup today. Thanks for the proactive attitude my man. Nice way to start the 1st working week.

Thanks systh! Much appreciated!


Sure, he's active contributor on the bitcoin-dev mailing list. He's also been dealing with cryptograhy libraries since 2001 (that's 14 years of experience). That's more than can be said from any of the other reviewers I've seen so far.

Here's a few articles he has written pertaining to cryptocurrencies:

Appreciate the donations systh!

Sure, there's enough information for someone qualified to review the system in comparison to CN and Zero without having to involve other parties. I'm positive we'll be getting heaps more peer review as time progresses. Nobody really outside of our small community knows about the innovation here.. as word spreads about Shadow, more people will want to review it.

Thanks again!

Yes.

I don't mind putting up the remainder, but it would be nice if everyone chipped in since everyone will be benefiting from the review. The general crytpo community, contributing developers and journalists alike will benefit from independent validation of Shadow's system.

There's only a few ppl active on the btc-dev mailing list.. most are contributing devs or cryptographers. Feel free to check his posts on it:

People ask about PR, but there are also steps to make sure that any elevated awareness is independently backed up by someone that doesn't have a vested interest in SDC and isn't associated with any alternative coin technology. Each prior step helps builds a foundation that moves the project towards adoption. It's the proper way to do things vs putting out articles about technology that hasn't been reviewed and expecting a massive spike in the market cap. Think of donating towards a review as investing in the future growth potential of the project. Since we haven't really had any press cover the project, any press we do get post-review will be much stronger.

I'm sure he would accept SDC after his review. I don't think it would be ethical to have him reviewing SDC while holding a stake in it.

Create a Stealth Address, then in the "Send" tab choose the option Shadow-to-SDC then just send to that address.

Happy New Years everyone! 

Interesting that he suggests Bitcoin acquire a messaging system sounds like ShadowChat

Welcome! There are plenty of team members available for the community here, on our forums www.shadowtalk.org and in IRC #shadowcash Despite being under the weather our lead dev is still in communication. He was in IRC for a brief moment on Sunday. As someone new to the project you should understand that since July the dev team has been clocking in 18 hour+ days sometimes writing code for 2-3 days straight. Any break that they are taking is well deserved

That being said, thanks for the kind words and don't mind the trolls.. they've been attacking us since the founding of the project. This is our 2nd thread, the last thread was unmoderated and filled with trolls angry that there is actually real development going on here. In fact, there are numerous baseless FUD threads dedicated to Shadow.. most were started from devs within the Blocknet project or hired by the pump groups supporting it. We've made a section on our forums for baseless accusations anyone is more than welcome to post their concerns there: http://shadowtalk.org/category/38/fud-fear-uncertainty-and-doubt

Also guys please don't quote the trolls! It's just like re-posting investment advice from a crackhead! When you see some random posting FUD just do a quick search on their post history and you'll find that most are active within the SDC FUD threads. There's no point entertaining baseless accusations because at the end of the day you're just feeding them by giving them attention. The 'ignore user' feature is your friend!

Keep the thread technical and remember this when you see a troll come here:

Hi MedaR,

We're working on an updated slideshow and a video guide for it. We'll update shadowtalk.org as soon as we're done.

Thanks!

Again you're more focused on the short term price rather than the long term goals. The truth is nobody outside of this thread really knows about SDC and this time of the year nobody is paying attention to the market or news for that matter. It's one of the reasons why governments are known for passing laws that are unfavorable to the populace.

Next month is a fresh start for the project and Shadow is the strongest contender to the anon crown. The public will be more receptive to press and progress. We've got everything lined up ready to go.

Either contribute or please just stop complaining.. it's really getting old.

Sure I appreciate the recognition, but you're still missing the point. This is an open sourced community project, not a financed one. The correct term is called 'donationware' where the team works off of donations instead of salaries. Bitcoin is successful because it has tons of proactive holders, who in most cases have zero direct communication with the developers. Those proactive holders spread the word, build supporting services or get supporting services to support Bitcoin.

Rome wasn't built in a day.. Things take time to mature. We have everything lined up for a successful project. But there are phases the project needs to go through before maturity.. Since July-December (last week) the project has been in a speculation period on how it will achieve anonymity. Now that we have achieved unique anonymity the project has transitioned into a technical review phase. As you can tell by the new faces on the thread it's clear we are in that phase. The next phase is awareness, press and adoption. Each of the former compliments the latter. Complaining doesn't help anyone here.. contribution does.

Start looking at this as a for what it is: a real project which goes through the phases listed above, instead of a short term gain catalyst and you'll see where I'm coming from.

Ryno has communicated here since the whitepaper release under 'Rynomster' his personal username. His lack of communication is due to the holiday period and his illness.. If you can't understand that then A) You've never been sick and B) You've never experienced a holiday

Skip60 what have you contributed to the project? The loudest one in the room tends to be the one not doing anything.

On the other hand, Ryno and the rest of the team has been slaving to complete ShadowSend since September and have delivered the best anon solution currently available. I think your criticism for developer absence is completely out of line and disrespectful for all the effort that has gone into the project. Constructive criticism is always welcome here but outright disrespect is not. Moving forward we could use people that actually appreciate the efforts our devs and team have put forth.

There was no pre-mine here and no ICO/IPO.. the devs here work because they like to build cool stuff, not deal with adolescent tantrums. The core product IS finished with minor improvements in the works.. We have anonymous transfers on the mainnet. It's the community's job here to spread the word in a respectful manner through various channels i.e. Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, article comments etc. AFAIK you have donated nothing to the project and you have contributed nothing to the project. Yet you speak to us as if we are your employees who have taken a leave of absence without notifying you. What gives you the right to be so disrespectful?

Our team has all the right in the world to take time off (given the hours they've put in) and spent it however they choose. Just like most of the developed world is on vacation right now or spending time with their families. Ryno on the other hand has been sick since last week.. Great vacation right? Work 18 hour days for 4 months straight and only take time off when you're sick..

Get a clue! The world doesn't revolve around you. Please do everyone a favor here and exit.

Hey Everyone,

Just spoke to Ryno he's had a nasty flu last few days.. He'll be on soon as he's on his feet to respond to inquiries.

Thanks all!
