Will ZK effectively end all competing privacy-centric altcoins (purely from an anon-tech standpoint)?
I guess what I am trying to ask is this: Is ZK the holy-grail of anonymity? And will it leave all other currently available anon-tech (such as DRK, XMR, XC, etc) obsolete, inferior, & nonsensical to use?
The short answer - yes. (...) Cool story indeed! Will definitely watch this. Btw excellent redesign! (Yeah I know I came late..) Thanks! You're still very early, things are just getting started here. I've made a feature request for a client installer that would probably help with the initial install. Everyone feel free to give feedback or piss on it: http://shadowtalk.org/topic/260/shadow-installer |

Loading the Android wallet- looks like it's syncing up to about 60K blocks left and freezing up. Good wifi connection. Normal, or do I need to do something with my phone?
Sorry if this has already been asked & answered, long topic! Can't wait to start staking!
Truth be told, Android wallet sucks in my opinion. If you have it running in the background, it will probably have syncing issues. I do believe the devs are going to redesign the wallet with a friendlier UI and using their SPV code for faster syncing and smaller blockchain. Can't wait for that. i am sure after ZK-snarks full release dev team will solve it in my computer i am using lite wallet, and it works perfectly and sync very fast....so why not android wallet in the future It might be nice to have the whole thing living on a SD card. That way there would be less of a problem with blockchain size, and you could swap cards and move your wallet to a new phone. Maybe even trade the cards as a form of physical SDC. Hey Automatic Monkey, Thanks for the input. I would suggest creating a feature request on Shadowtalk. It's easier for the team to consider improvements when they are easier to find. Feedback via bitcointalk posts tend to get lost because it's one giant thread. http://shadowtalk.org/category/5/feedback-feature-requests |

Can anyone help me explain:
If blockchain is unreadable, in combination with snarks and rings and what not. How can we be sure of the total amount of coins in existence? Is it still possibile to see that? What if someone would try to cheat the amount?
Sorry for my Noobiness.

The short answer - yes. (...) Cool story indeed! Will definitely watch this. Btw excellent redesign! (Yeah I know I came late..) You are very early actually (i know what you mean btw). The core isn't even finished yet and mainstream isn't using it. I argue that you are still early on bitcoin too. So, welcome, pull up a pew or find something to do  Like maybe you could make a cool/er website for shadow.cash? Early you say? I thought SDC is here for some time (well yeah, if you compare it to BTC being used by general public, I am early).. or am I confusing it with something else (like ShadowCoin, or it just evolved)? Cool er Shadow.cash website you say? I don't think I'm capable of making it better. In fact, I'm in love with it ATM (as I said, the redesign is amazing). But I'd love to help out somehow, if the time comes :] |

Good article, I liked it Once zk gets out of beta, I look forward to many such articles. We need to build the number of SDC users. Right now I only see 164 addresses with over 1000 coins: http://sdc.blockexplorer.cc/richlist/index.php?min=1000 |

Right now I only see 164 addresses with over 1000 coins: http://sdc.blockexplorer.cc/richlist/index.php?min=1000And only 280 users with over 100 coins. But those appear to be staking users. According to my calculations 12,352,120 coins were issued in the PoW and about half of those are appearing on the block explorer, so I guess half the coins aren't staking. But being about half of that half is held by a dozen or so people, there is no way for these coins to be distributed without a major dump. So I'll wait! |
Try ShadowCash, the first coin with instant and decentralized private transactions!

Total number of coins in circulation (6.4M) are shown here http://sdc.blockexplorer.cc/stats/ Top addresses seem to be the exchanges. So the number of addresses on the richlist aren't correct. We need more people staking than leaving their coins on exchanges. Didn't anyone learn anything from mt gox and mintpal? |
