[SDC] ShadowCash | Welcome to the UMBRA

[LongAndShort]

Option to add Zcash?

https://github.com/Electric-Coin-Company/zcash

Zcash vs. CT vs ringCT

I'm predicting the anon txn protocol will be updated to one of these eventually.

Adding Zcash would wipe out open bazaar

You mean adding Zcash as a payment option for the ShadowMarket?

Yes. SDC adopting zcash would make it very competitive.

Its a great protocol, and i believe its worth considering one day, possibly. However, i don't believe the parameter setup is secure yet.
I do know of them presenting research on a distributed computation. But i don't believe the zcash parameter setup is secure.

Thanks you for the donations yesterday on slack (litebit, allien), I'm still little bit short for my bills this month. So far i raised [0.14726448/1.1BTC] and [200 SDC] my BTC: 1o4nzUUXTDEGXCtEJomoyM1irn8Uxfg1D and SDC: SbMvzNDrYJLWTYMMBeozZWfiv9QPUjGSWm

I finished this month:

• Market (overview page with thumbnail listing/tables view, listings page, add item in shopping basket, user/id profile page for market)
• Restyled almost all sections in the wallet
• Made better key management section (more logic)
• Better send page (split in send payment/balance transfer)
• More user-friendly/helpers (?) in all sections
• Tweaks / bug-fixes and more..

I'm now very close with GUIv2, still on my to-do-list, 2 sections on market + tweaks, shadowchat tweaks, key management tweaks, modals, bugs and minor tweaks + code clean-up.

Screenshot of SDC latest send section:



I'll keep you all posted,

Just an observation - the 'News' section in the wallet. Isn't that an attack vector?

If the client / node is looking up news updates, how is it doing it and wouldn't you get into the situation where the news source could be used against users?

Do you know how it and the alert system works?

No. I was just making an observation and asking a question.

...

Do you know how it and the alert system works?

No. I was just making an observation and asking a question.

I brought this up when it was implemented, i even believe the alert systems on all coin clients are a vector of some sort. But when you truly understand how it works its no more of a threat then the developers becoming dishonest and inserting nefarious code in the binaries and source code.

The problem is, a human has control of all of those things. Thats something we still cant quite get away from just yet. Because we still need humans to create binaries for users who cant make their own and who cant read code. Just because its from an official source does not mean one day, one of those binaries wont have bad code in them. Thus potentially making even the official source a potent attack vector, clearly its the most probable. To be honest i think both alert systems and feeds of any sort should be done away with in these clients.

To answer your question though, both systems (alert and news) require security keys.

BEAUTIFULLY explained. At first I was like, "IF the news was an attack vector it would be the least likely candidate and would really be more of a phishing attempt if anything." I rather liken it to RSS in my own head, except people can't just add to it like a Hacker News or Reddit RSS. Joe Ivanov couldn't submit a .ru and expect it to get posted.

Lots of exciting features are coming in for SDC,  and that is a good sign because it can overcome most anon coins out there like Dash. Adopting Zcash would be a splendid idea, especially in the ShadowMarket which might become a better alternative than OpenBazaar. I am keeping an eye on this one, buying ans staking SDC as much as I can.

You should consider Polish, and Russian too. I might be able to help with those.

Yep. Just ask to translate Russian and Polish on transifex

That would be awesome, german translation is also on its way.. think must be finished this weekend.

Or you can use Babelfish or some similar automated translator, give it a nice foreign feel in any language!

There is actually a trick to using online translators with decent results, go back and forth between the two languages and when you get the same thing every time you have gotten rid of all the ambiguous words. Then you enter the phrases into Google and make sure they are phrases people actually use, and correct them into the form people do use if they are not.
