New Shadow PR Campaign Started!

After the success of our #FightForPrivacy campaign on Thunderclap our PR team has been looking for new ways to generate more exposure for the Shadow project. With the upcoming release of ShadowMarket, we believe now is a good time to start making some noise and let the world know about the anonymous economy we’re building.

Last week, we hired a Bitcoin PR firm (bitcoinprbuzz.com) and used one of their premium press release services to send out our first press release. Like us, they are seasoned cryptocurrency enthusiasts and have over two years of experience in Bitcoin marketing specifically. They now share our mission to spread the word about our revolutionary Shadow project to individuals and businesses worldwide. With their help, we aim to achieve the following results:

- Google News coverage.
- Yahoo Finance coverage.
- Publish our press release at 200 online news outlets and as many Bitcoin news websites as possible.
- Tweet our press release to 40 000+ highly-targeted Bitcoin Twitter followers.
- Syndicate our press release through 1 000+ online RSS feed monitoring and publishing services.
- Distribute our press release to every mainstream global news distribution service (Associated Press, Lexis Nexis, Factiva, Comtex, ProQuest, Market Watch, Gale, Thomson West and Acquire Media).
- Submit our press release to 40 000+ relevant media outlets (newspapers, TV, radio, magazines, bloggers).
- Publication on at least 5 top tier media outlets such as Yahoo Finance, Business Journal, Chicago Tribune, San Fransisco Chronicle, CNBC, Bloomberg Businessweek, Wall Street Journal.
- 15 000+ views on our promotional video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPcwAToJYtY).
- 5 000+ unique visitors per month on aboutshadow.com

Beyond all of the above, we may also be published on Bloomberg Businessweek, The Wall Street Journal, Reuters, Bitcoin Magazine, CoinDesk, and many more outlets online. Please keep in mind that it is up to these outlets whether or not they publish our press release — we will try our very best, but unfortunately we cannot guarantee publication on all of these platforms.

You can also track all progress live on Twitter (keep scrolling down to May 20): https://twitter.com/search?q=%22anonymous%20Economy%22&src=typd&vertical=default&f=tweets

As our technology advances and progress is made towards the initial release of ShadowMarket, we will be sending out new press releases to many high-quality, high-traffic mainstream media outlets. Until then we will keep both this post and our press page up to date with all the latest publications.

Best regards,

The Shadow Team

Great work guys, things seem to be moving along nicely now.

Here are some pictures of my coins.  These were taken from a cell phone and not with a high quality camera so they are not the best, and do the coins no justice.  I figured its better to at least have these up until I can get some better pictures posted.  Some of the pictures are upside down.  If you have additional questions, please feel free to PM me.

Side One (front):



Side One of another coin :



Side Two (back) of the coin:



Coin "pack":



Another picture of Side One of the coin:

I will most definitely buy a few of the shadowcash ones, so you can put any amount i want on them?

Here's a trick for authenticating a coin like this which is a variation on something the CIA uses: you can put a recess in the coin and engrave the private key in the recess. Then you need 2 or 3 different colors of sealing wax. Melt them together, mix a little but not too well, and pour in the recess over the key. What you'll get is a colored pattern impossible to reproduce. Then take a picture of the coin with its serial number and the wax pattern and post it on a site. Someone can enter the serial number and see the picture of the coin and that the wax pattern on the site matches what they see before accepting it.

What is the use of owning a physical Bitcoin  (excuse my ignorance  )

They like cold storage for practical use.  Most people have them as collectables or memerabilia of the coin they support.  They do come with an engraved address on the back, with a private key under the security sticker. (Look up casascius coins)  Also i am now proud to announce I will now be accepting ShadowCash for payment for these coins.  Support your community and get your very own Shadowcash coin now and use your ShadowCash.  Pm me me for more details.  Thanks

I'm selling them for $15 each plus shipping.  Shipping will depend on your country.  These are all custom in that they have the coins name engraved.  They are all serialized (1-30) for shadowcash and there is a unique address engraved on the back of each coin with a private key under a semi custom hologram security sticker covering it.  The total mint amount for the whole series 1 is 300 (spread acriss 12 different coins including ShadowCash).  Anymore info just let me know.  Thanks

Nice initiative, however, can you please lead people to your own thread to answer questions regarding your topic?
Thanks.

Having trouble syncing again, do not know why but does anyone have a shadowcoin.conf I could use, would like to start staking again.

Everything you need is always on the website or the original post.

For instance, i just looked around and i figure that you can try to get some nodes from the block explorer http://shadowchain.info
I also found  Wheatclove's "getblockhash" tutorial on Shadows' forum that was linked under "Tutorials" on the aboutshadow.com or shadow.cash website
Make sure you jump into a chat room if you still cant sort it out. This has been brought up in this thread to many times to count.
