[SDC] ShadowCash | Welcome to the UMBRA

[Attack.of.the.Clones]

sorry for noob question, but didn't someone find an exploit with SDC code? was that repaired? I own some SDC so I hope the exploit was either false, or if true, it was fixed

just trying to sort out fact from fud

If you own SDC (transparent form) which apparently is usually the case, you would not have been affected at all. If you owned Shadow (obfuscated form) you should consider the privacy that was supposed to have been provided by Shadow to be destroyed and you should move the coins several times using the new (presumably fixed) version if you want any sort of privacy there.

I know SDC supporters like to say that the exploit didn't matter because it still had stealth addresses, but that is pretty much wrong. The method depends on having both untracability and unlinkability for privacy; just one or the other is very ineffective. That's why coins that just use stealth addresses with no method of untraceabilty are not considered a viable solution to blockchain privacy.

EDIT: typo, add not above

OK thanks for that information, I think my SDC are OK then, but I'll move them just to be sure. Good that a 'fix' was implemented!


edit: many coins have bugs discovered, so I don't see any long term damage coming from finding and fixing a problem, that's evolution. The SDC devs did a good job!

Completely agree. How a problem is handled is usually far more important than the problem itself. In this case the fix was put in place much faster than pretty much anyone expected.
SDC either has everything I was looking for, or it is on the map. Can't wait to see what the future brings.

Yeah repaired, bounty paid, and it caused some transactions to get deringed but stealth addresses were still in tact.

Except of stealth addresses Tor was also protecting SDC users during this period, wasn`t it? SDC wallet has uses Tor right?

What`s up, SDC devs do not have answer to my query? I think Tor was protecting the senders. Am I right?

Tor is not enabled by default.

On the other hand, if you do properly configure Tor with ShadowCash then yes, this should give you an extra layer of protection.

But to be honest, it really depends on the concrete situation, so we are not able to generalize this statement.

Why is the explorer down?

http://shadow.blockexplorer.cc/chain/ShadowCash

This one works but the first link is from worldcoinindex, http://explorer.shadow.cash/chain/ShadowCash

arcanum: Works for me <http://explorer.shadow.cash/chain/ShadowCash>

arcanum: Works for me <http://explorer.shadow.cash/chain/ShadowCash>

yes that 1 works, i pressed link from here: https://www.worldcoinindex.com/coin/shadowcash
and it is completely dead. someone should update the worldcoinindex site, looks really bad.

The WorldCoinIndex is a 3rd party site, Shadow has nothing to do with it.

The other block explorer (http://explorer.shadow.cash/chain/ShadowCash) works fine; and after all, there's a block explorer built-in the wallet.

Did not realize that. thank you for explaining it to me

such an under-rated feature.

You are so right about it being under rated. i thought that the explorer in the wallet was simply linked to the online blockchain for convenience. I had no idea that the SDC wallet ran on its own independent blockchain within the wallet.

Does anyone have a link to the SDC rich list? I heard that 59 Addresses own 90% of coins.

Is this true?

Some of those addresses are exchanges obviously...and really? seriously? the coin is cheap....too cheap...and the project is good...too good..what do people expect to happen.
you snooze you loose people!
the people who have the coins now i know for a fact are LT holders and supporters these are not day traders..just people who saw an amazing project with a big vision and a small entry price and they did the obvious...is it wrong for these people to profit from other peoples ignorance?..

I am a supporter of this project for the last year or so and believe in the long term potential for this coin. I was simply curious and I like to research everything. Obviously the exchangers hold a large portion, those addresses are well known. i was simply asking if anyone has a link to a 2016 updated iist, only info I could find is over 2 years old. I wonder why this information is kept secret

Thank you very much for the link, had trouble finding that site for some weird reason, none of my google searches popped it up. That is all i wanted to know. Cheers

Just a quick question. Could not find info on if there is a max cap of coins or does it does stake at 2% forever?

[dadon]

Yes it's basically 2% forever but that can be lowered as far as i know if needed and voted by the community, you also need to take into account lost coins, lost pw etc that will decrease the total cap
haven't seen you over at slack? you need to get over there bro lots of conversation always happening.

Never used slack before, been thinking about it, but never got around to it. How can i join the SDC slack, do i need an invite?
