[SDC] ShadowCash | Welcome to the UMBRA

[Kewde]

TorCoin. You proof of work is throughput on the network, a little for a bridge or middle node and a lot for an exit. Your Tor service is also a wallet and either the sender or the receiver has to spend to transmit data, and the spend is distributed among the nodes that handle it.

Somebody needs to invent something like this! Maybe they could start with a cryptocurrency with zero-knowledge proofs, and then add distributed public key messaging, then other features after that.

That's actually a freaking clever idea.

The list of tor nodes is known so whenever a user would make a successful connection to a website it can start broadcast a acknowledgement of service which would be secured by a CPU PoW algo and the node is rewarded.


Another good starting point for the consensus algo would be the "DDoS coin" example.

Well of course it's a clever idea- it's yours! Because I'm really talking about Shadow, but with some features added to make it run like a tor service and connect machines through the Shadow network. The part where it's monetized is already there.

Soon every node will automatically be a Tor node

I love you SDC! We overpassed 2 million marketcap 

If Shadow Market (or Aphrodite) get some DNM people on board, we might be looking 50X - 100X  (look at XMR's hype)

This is true. Take a look at how Monero XMR pumped when Alphabay integration was announced... When that hype settles down, and Aprhodite and the Market are released, people will realize this is the next thing. Alpha integrating XMR is good for anonimity, but what's the point when the operators can run with your BTC/XMR at any time? Eventuelly every market will have an exit scam.. Just take a look at how the Nucleus market vanished recently. They were highly trused with uptime over 2/3 years I believe. But at one day, the operators will take your money and dissapear. Untill SHADOW MARKET!

Great things to come for SDC,
I really hope we are close to some releases. Can't wait!

I agree. XMR pump shows very clearly that we can't underestimate the potential of DNM's... It is real. It is growing.

Last month marked the 2 year anniversary for The Shadow Project and a lot has been developed during this time!

If you're familiar with the scene then you know this week has been anything but boring in the anonymous crypto space. We believe the excitement and attention around anonymous cryptocurrencies is just beginning and it will only grow exponentially from here. The great thing about this project, and something unique to this project alone, is it's more than just an anonymous cryptocurrency.

To find out more, read the latest Medium.com article here about this great project and what's to come!

[DarkLurker]

Nice article, is this the reason for the latest price rise?

[rutherford]

arcanum: No, article just went up. I think its because of the upcoming release

[vtr99]

All I can say is the unseen level of excitement around the SDC team is beyond what anyone can imagine. I guess you could say what is happening in the Shadows.
I feel completely certain that if everyone knew how much momentum was on the way, the market cap would be at least 4 or 5 times what it is today. I have no doubt SDC is in a league of it's own, and will set the pace going forward. I humbly suggest anyone on the sidelines take your positions now, and hold on for the ride of your life.

We've also been doing a very effective outreach.
The newcomers per week has dramatically gone up

Does Shadow have a testnet setup where we can see the progress, test features, and attempt to break stuff so it can be fixed before going live?

[Kuriso]

Feature request:  Add a Balance column on the wallet address table.  I'd like to be able to see which address have coins and how much.

Feature request:  Add the option to hide address.  I've got 2 pages, going on 3 pages of address.  Half of them are not being used right now so I would like to be able to hide them.

IDK if some tests is ongoing but a public testnet it would be really nice.

Anyway, I can't wait to see how work the shadowmarket!

Obv I have an old bag of SDC and I have increased it recently. Looking closely this project.

Waiting also for the CNY market. Any news in this direction? @ btc38 vote page there still that 0.8BTC...what going on??

I have been following the posts in the NAV thread with regards to their use of parts of the SDC code base.

I've implemented optional addnode=.onion daemon connectivity for Navcoin and would likely easily be able to add some nodes on the same and/or new servers for SDC.

Does SDC have any existing / dedicated Tor nodes already ? Would the community / devs. consider any bounties to assist with server set-up / help with running costs etc.,

The concept of 'Tor Incentive' mechanisms is not new ;

N.B. that the 'TorCoin' of this forum is not the one mentioned in any of the research papers.

Here is Roger D. (lead Tor dev.) on the subject of 'Tor Incentive' mechanisms at HAR (Hacking at Random) 2009 ;

Using the Tor network as an optional transport mechanism is one thing, whilst integrating the Tor software into existing software is perhaps something else entirely.

Big pump, any good news? SDC is still stable, after so many years. Good sign.

Big software update coming soon, and recent article published on SDC. Another article is coming out this week i'm told. Lots of new excitement around this coin, the community has grown a lot in the last 48 hours.

Beware,  this user missed out on XMRs rise. He is trying to manipulate noob users into investing into another coin that uses failed tech that DASH and BTC use.
