Shadow, the application you want to be the new Silk Road
by:MANUEL SILVAMARCH
It promises absolute anonymity, decentralization of services and safety for both buyers and sellers.
Think bad: The problem of establishing an illegal business is that, sooner or later, someone will end up doubting his colleague, as to every problem, paranoia will always be higher than the main problem, however slight this were . Perhaps for this reason is born Shadow , a market that closely resembles Silk Road , but without a leader or administrators.
The site, published today Motherboard works as follows: The user must download an instant messaging software that connects you with sellers anonymously sending encrypted messages via Shadow (similar to chats P2P networks) . That's when the transaction occurs ShadowCash , the official currency of this space, which is based on the architecture of Bitcoin .
As this form of exchange spans the entire system of this market, there is no central point at which attack (hence the term "decentralized") and the capture of its members becomes more tangled and complex. We must clarify that although this particular site was not founded with the specific purpose of selling illegal items, will undoubtedly be exploited for this purpose, given the absolute anonymity is promised, both sellers and buyers passing through this place.
The instant messaging service and can be downloaded from Android, iOS, Windows, OS X and Linux systems. Yes we must emphasize that the service is not yet 100% operational , so we must wait until the second quarter of this year to fill Shadow and tell you with absolute certainty, whether it works or is a bad clone Silk Road.
