Hello: I already backed up my wallet on February 2015. I had to delete my wallet because it was giving me errors while loading the blockchain when starting up the client. I removed the wallet.dat and imported the backup wallet to %appdata% directory as instructed. I lost 20 SDC - there's nothing I can do to recover it? Let me know.

Done:


15:07:29

repairwallet


15:07:29

{
"wallet check passed" : true
}

It didn't work: still 0.00 SDC. Hrm.. if I backed up my wallet with SDC amount to 0.00 and purchased 20 SDC, lost my wallet, imported my wallet to %appdata% directory, then it would show 0.00 not 20 SDC, correct? Maybe I backed up a different wallet at that time? I don't remember. I guess I need to be more proactive.

Is the blockchain fully synced in your client?

Yup.

and you're certain you copied the correct wallet.dat (make sure it's named that, and not something like shadow.dat) into the data directory?

do you have the address you sent the coins to?

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.

Hi, are the multisig transactions used for preventing buyers and sellers from getting scammed somehow? If so, how does that work?

As far as I know, it can be used for that in an escrow sense. I believe it's also used as a way of securing your wallet so that sending funds requires the signing of multiple private keys. So if someone keylogs your passphrase and gains access to your computer, they can't steal all your coins without access to a second private key (stored on a different device preferably).

Would probably be a good idea for the devs to answer that in their qna regardless.

Yes and Yes. I believe so.. hold on. Yup. The address match. What's the next step?

Yea I got the impression it was related to the market software, and was wondering how exactly does that work in that context.

Its two fold 1. adding multisig to shadow (SDT) transactions, atm only SDC is supported and 2. adding multisig support for both SDC and SDT to ShadowMarket.

In reference to the market element; there has been much conversation about what is a fair way to both protect the buyer and seller. At the moment my personal preference is John Nash's concept of 'Mutually Assured Destruction'.

Trace Mayer gave ShadowCash another shoutout in a recent video May 1st, at the 31min mark: https://youtu.be/wmY-f1SX7aU?t=30m45s

Trace is a really smart guy and early Bitcoiner interested in anonymity.  He promoted Bitcoin as an investment since the price was about 5 cents to 25 cents per bitcoin.  He has invested in many Bitcoin businesses as well like Armory, BitPay, Kraken, SatoshiDice, and many others. He also has the websites runtogold.com and howtovanish.com

He was also mentioning homomorphic encryption, cryptonote, and indistinguishability obfuscation for more anonymous currencies.  I know Rynomster the lead SDC dev mentioned that homomorphic encryption was one of the things they were looking at for the future, as well as SNARKS.

For anyone interested, Trace was mentioning ShadowCash in another video a bit ago as well(18:40 mark): https://youtu.be/50_NfitNTkI?t=18m39s

He was mentioning ring signatures, zero knowledge proofs, SNARKS, and the ShadowCash whitepaper.  He says that ShadowCash is an example of where the libertarians may need to go as Bitcoin becomes more mainstream and regulated.  I think he is spot on with his analysis.

If anyone wants to check out some of his shows, he has the Bitcoin Knowledge podcast, it seems pretty good: http://www.bitcoin.kn/
