[SDC] ShadowCash | Welcome to the UMBRA

So when is Aphrodite due?

I heard Wednesday

[Manetor]

Avast detected blockchain bootstrap.dat port to blk0001.dat virus Stoned (2).

[LuckyLeprachaun]

Avast detected blockchain bootstrap.dat port to blk0001.dat virus Stoned (2).

Probably a false positive.

[MantaMine]

Probably a false positive.

FUD....

[Automatic Monkey]

Avast detected blockchain bootstrap.dat port to blk0001.dat virus Stoned (2).

Probably a false positive.

Not hard to do. The BTC blockchain has virus code written into it. I don't know if it was done intentionally or it happened randomly. It can't execute of course but it still throws off the antiviruses.

I suppose a malware artist could write a virus payload to a blockchain, then circulate innocuous code to get the payload from the blockchain file and do the damage.

It's FUD. He is from Librexcoin. This blockchain is clean.

Any updates on Aphrodite?
Is there a forum that we can talk to devs.

Stoned.2(b) is a malevolent Trojan horse that that often makes use of system loopholes and Internet vulnerabilities to break into the targeted computer and damage the whole system.

Stoned.2(b) uses your network connection to download additional malware onto your system. This Trojan horse also opens a backdoor in the system, which allows the remote hackers to visit your computer and do whatever they like in it. Moreover, it will install a key logger in your system in order to record your keystrokes and send that data to a specific server. As a result, your confidential information such as online banking account usernames and passwords will be revealed to the unscrupulous hackers.

Network security is what I do for a living. 99% chance you have a false positive. AVAST used to be good software, but you can say that for a lot of anti-virus companies. These days I consider AVAST to be crap-ware.

To get a realistic appraisal try running it through https://www.virustotal.com/, or http://www.herdprotect.com/ (a few positives do not make it a virus).

For personal use I still like Malwarebytes the best, and run it in combination with Panda Cloud Free.

Never had any issues with SDC. Always make sure you download from the official source, because it is possible that someone might put an infected version out there.

Just for grins I ran my blk0001.dat through the latest version of Malwarebytes and Panda, and it comes up clean. I remember back in the day, all the mining software I used to run came up as a false positive, so I'm betting it's just another flaw in AVAST.

I've seen that too, might have been related to malware that forced infected computers to mine for someone else. Also employees using their company equipment for mining; security people used to find computers stuffed full of GPU's and hashing away overnight.

Anti-malware Malwarebytes OK, no virus

Yeah avast is kind of crap. I don't know what happened to that company but they went the way of McAfee. I remember a time when McAfee would flag everything as a virus. So so so many false positives, then it would actually find something and not be able to do anything about it. Seems McAfee is getting on their feet now though a bit now that intel owns them. Would be cool to see them do some good in the world. AVG even has started to deal out some pop-ups lately but they still do a great job at protection though IMO.

I'm thinking this pullback is getting close to played out, and it may be a good time to start buying again. If we move up sharply from here, this will start to resemble the same patterns we saw in 2013.
SDC is back in bargain territory.

So what's new and what's coming on this front?

[LiteBit]

Progress being made on the NodeJS module. https://www.npmjs.com/package/shadowcash

Getting good download action and it's drawing in developer interest 

Great work @kewde

Any news about Aphrodite?
Can't wait to see if and how will slack users respond to it

[Kewde]

Hi verb,

We've been delaying Aphrodite for some time because we're heavily working on the chat part. We've all been under the impression that the chat has been an underused and underrated function of our software.
Some told us that the chat window was a bit uneasy to work with, the selecting a conversation partner was hard, no groupchat.. etc all these tiny things that made it hard and impractical to use basically.

That's why crz has been working his ass of the past week, I can't count the days no more that I've ended up at 2 AM and he's still online, coding. Then waking up and seeing he's online before me 
We're seriously improving the chat experience for the better, we're hoping to make ShadowChat the "slack" for all communications of the community. I've done some more work on the groupchat and ironed out a bug yesterday crz is giving it a sweet facelift, I've seen some sneak peaks and you can take my word for it, it is looking sexy as always. I think many people will be surprised with what's coming.

I know we've been delaying a lot, and nobody likes it. But we'd rather deliver something which we have faith in, than a half ass working GUI with loads of styling errors.

Thanks for the reply, don't feel any pressure to rush things on my part. Would wait all the time that's required to see this thing work. 
Following twitter for updates.
