zk-snarks is one of the biggest advancements in cryptography at the moment, especially in relation to anonymity and blockchain compression. Adoption of zk-snarks will finally put the anon debate to rest once and for all. It's even acknowledged as superior by Maurice P, one of the founders of cryptonote.

"[Maurice P]Zerocoin, Zerocash. This is the most advanced technology, I must admit. Yes, the quote above [from the white paper] is from the analysis of the previous version of the protocol. To my knowledge, its not 288, but 384 bytes, but anyway this is good news [the latest trimming of sizes]. They used a brand new technique [sic] called SNARK, which has certain downsides: for example, large initial database of public parameters required to create a signature (more than 1 GB) and significant time required to create a transaction (more than a minute). Finally, they're using a young crypto, which I've mentioned to be an arguable idea: https://forum.cryptonote.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=19#p55"

"Now, notice that since we are still pushing information through a function (our random oracle function), and not using a zero-knowledge system, our system is still not fully zero-knowledge anonymous."

Shadow already has a working Simplified Payment Verification (SPV) system in place with the latest ShadowLite release, that addresses some of the concerns about the signature; In addition, the proof sizes are even smaller than the ones quoted by Maurice. ShadowCash's approach is quite different to Zerocoin/ZeroCash. All in all the coming weeks will be very interesting for the anon space with Shadow. No doubt the only real investment right now in the anon space is Shadow. Investing in anything else in the anon space right now is pointless, as Shadow will wrapping up the anon debate.




The list grows and it's clear that the only coin on that list actually progressing crypto forward by original innovation in ShadowCash. Invest in hype or invest in actual development the choice is yours. The only real PoD is Proof of Development and Shadow eclipses every other coin on the list in that department.

if dev is known here and has green rep its better than POD from unknown people imo

This is great news !

MsCollec you sexy thing you. I just came over to this thread for the picture (pun intended).

looking good.

Yea brother - I'm picking he is asleep and wanted to keep the market down while he plays in one of the top 3 on Bittrex or something. Often they will do that to prevent the market going up and taking the momentum away from the coin they are actively playing around in.

However I've bought around 7000 more coins from the wall so at least a portion of the buys are genuine. But you are absolutely right, can't make heads or tails of the market some days all we can do is buy low sell high - and this shit is LOW Shouldn't really be investing more money in Crypto but this is such a great coin and held down so much I couldn't resist! Ah well, just a weeks pay its all good LOL

Hello,

For those who remember, I was a former volunteer dev / proj mgr / comm mgr for Cinni.  Please allow me to clear the FUD on rynomster's name (as this was brought to my attention by trolls posting in XC's thread).

Rynomster came to help Cinni with it's encrypted messaging system (per a bounty).  After this work was finished, he himself decided to not continue on with Cinni (for his own reasons, which frankly should not matter).  His contribution towards the Cinni project started on good terms, and he left Cinni project on good terms -- as far as the dev team was concerned.  

As for the issue related to Cinni PoS, I can verify that rynomster did indeed email fixes to the PoS code to cinnidev.  And to my knowledge, cinnidev committed them (however, if cinnidev truly committed them will need to be verified by cinnidev / rynomster).  Now, whether or not rynomsters fixes corrected absolutely every issue with Cinni's PoS, I cannot answer -- but I do know that rynomster emailed fixes on the PoS code.

Nevertheless -- why are we attacking rynomster?  If you are going to call him a liar, then you will have to call both myself and cinnidev liars.  But let me ask you -- who else would know the facts better than the dev team?  Cinnidev likewise can and should confirm everything that I have said.  Anyone who says anything contrary to the facts that I have just stated is a liar, or is ignorant to what actually happened.

Again, rynomster was offered a bounty to build encrypted messaging for Cinni -- this he did in a successful and timely manner.  Once this work was completed, he was by no means obligated to continue developing for Cinni.  Even Cinni's PoS issue he was not obligated to look at or fix, but he was kind enough to.  Please refrain from attacking him, his character, or his new coin.
