New ShadowCore Client Now Available For Public Testing


Our development team has been hard at work integrating new features into ShadowCore that will better support our upcoming ShadowMarket. In order to best support a P2P marketplace environment the ShadowCore client has been updated to prepare the network to switch from using Proof of Stake to Proof of Stake v2. PoS v2’s revised coin weight calculation encourages greater network stability by not factoring in “coin age”. Therefore saving up coin age is no longer possible so nodes will need to be online more in order to get their stake reward. It'll involve a move from scrypt to SHA256 which will mean staking requires less processing power (especially helpful for mobile users wishing to stake their coins). The new system is also designed to solve security issues which made PoS v1 coins open to certain theoretical attacks. For more information see Blackcoin's Proof-of-Stake Protocol v2 white paper.                 
         
The upgrade took a great deal of work from the developers (you can view full details of the 230 changed files with 12,219 additions and 8,455 deletions here. There’s a summary of the changes in the release notes.

ShadowGo Progress Update


We’re currently putting the finishing touches to an upgraded version of our Android wallet. This will give mobile users the full anonymizing functionality of ShadowSend v2. The beta version will be posted in the next few days for a short round of community testing before the full release. Stay tuned for further details.


ShadowMarket Progress Update


Good progress is being made on the Shadow Marketplace. Our developers expect to pick up speed now that all the necessary updates have been made to ShadowCore and a date has been scheduled for the PoS v2 hard fork. We will be working on upgrading ShadowChat for secure messaging, which will be the backbone of the whole market place, using BIP32 addresses for category trees. After that we will be working on anonymous mutltisig transactions. We are aiming to have a beta version ready for public testing and feedback within Q2. ShadowMarket will be the primary focus of our developers and the next feature to be added to the ShadowCore client.


Thank you all for your continued support and enthusiasm,

Great news, thanks!

So how will some wallets using SHA-256 while some others are using Scrypt on the same blockchain affect things?  It seems to me like the two algorithms would be at war with one another, with one not accepting the solved blocks of the other.

[deliveryman]

i believe it will be a hard fork so no scrypt after that.

Once testing is finished and the hard fork is complete everyone will be using sha256 for PoS until then it remains as-is...

OK so to clarify, there will be a mandatory upgrade, the Scrypt wallets will be staking before a certain date, and the SHA-256 wallets will be staking after that date.

Now for a tech question, let's say a group of people chose not to do the upgrade. I assume they would be on their own, their wallets would still communicate with each other, and they could still trade their coins among one another, but not with the chain that the SHA-256 wallets are using, is that a correct understanding of forks?

[deliveryman]

Yes thats true. When a fork happens it means they are on different versions / chains. So it's really mandatory once the version gets released to update. If you would send your coins from an old version to a newer version, they would be lost in cyberspace.

[Kuriso]

Yes thats true. When a fork happens it means they are on different versions / chains. So it's really mandatory once the version gets released to update. If you would send your coins from an old version to a newer version, they would be lost in cyberspace.

Is a coin exchange going to be required?  if not, couldn't you just use a backup wallet and reload the blockchain under the new version?  If you transferred coins on the old chain, there would be no record of the coins being transferred on the new chain so the coins shouldn't be lost.  Right?

No.... All you need todo is download and install the new wallet before the hard fork ....
If for whatever reason you are unable to, once the hard fork has been completed in order to send funds to say an exchange you will need to make sure you download the new wallet.

All it does is make it mandatory to upgrade to the latest wallet.

Re: the questions about forks, please do not let that confuse you. All you need todo is make sure you are running the latest wallet before sending/receiving shadow during his hard fork phase or just double check the transaction on the block explorer (that will confirm you are on the right chain).

wow!! im impressed! Keep that up Ryno and the dev team! Wonderful stuff.

[MrJesusChrist]

Honestly, it pisses me off seeing shit coins with higher valuations than shadow..

I've always hated the altcoin game, it's bullshit, small group of pump and dumpers fuckin' with everything.

I still say this is the only altcoin I'll hold long for, hoping it can survive those pump/dump pieces of scum.

I'm hoping altcoins can survive, but these dumps are hurting every coin, and then I see shit coins poppin' up with great volume and higher valuations than SDC...

It's bullshit, tiring bullshit.

This coin deserves better.

Wow looking very good! Im downloading it as we speak. I will report if I find any errors/bugs.

Thanks for the update devs  

[LemonAndFries]

The new wallet doesn't even connect any peers and it shows I have a zero balance. Fix?
