why it is a bad idea? if you start a design contest there will be many choices to choose from

I agree I've seen some pretty slick looking designs come out of contests, looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with.

[child_harold]

So this one designed by LteBit is the current leader IMO. I made a slight edit in my version to include chinese chars.

[redsn0w]

Reserved post , maybe I will participate to this contest. Thanks for the opportunity.

[bitcats]

Any ETA for the official launch?

the official launch of what?

see http://shadow.cash
and check out this vid about Shadow and shadowsend http://youtu.be/CWEzGs2YJtM

+ we're waiting on a peer review of shadowsend atm

we feel our tech supersedes anything XMR or DRK have to offer (well at least I do!)

shadowsend v2 is running live atm
see http://shadow.cash/downloads/shadowcash-anon.pdf

[ffmad]

hi bitcats,

Do you mean official launch for the contest ?

I can't really see the point of an "Official Launch", given that there is already enough information in the first post so that someone could already be working on it.

But as I will add more information today, "Official Launch" would be at 6PM UTC (when i will add it)

Even if someone is "the best" in general, you can't know if he will be the best for one work in particular.

PS:- Are you gonna escrow the amount?

[LitcoinCollector]

Good bounty, must get some good entries! 

[monbux]

Thanks for making this thread, introduced me to this shadow project, it actually looks pretty cool.  Will follow.

[innocent93]

I had helped to translate the shadow project before, the project seems pretty cool and it impressed me, how the project progress?

[jbrnt]

And I am looking forward to Roslin & medusa & jbrnt's design on this.

Cannot compare my simple designs to the real masters. I am only a beginner.

You're just acting modest man!  You're the devil in disguise, did you not win the last 2 contests back to back?

[ffmad]

Reserving this place.

PS:- Are you gonna escrow the amount?

If it's really needed but i'm not an anonymous guy, i'm known in French bitcoin community IRL, i wouldn't risk my reputation for that amount of BTC.

Shadow is an anonymous coin since december, it's still the first POS coin to have anon tech  

It use ring signatures (somehow like CryptoNote) for this.

Next is the rework on Mobile Applications, for Android & iOS.

After that it will be ShadowMarket, an in-wallet anonymous market. It might be something really big  

Thanks for making this thread, introduced me to this shadow project, it actually looks pretty cool.  Will follow.

Thanks, don't hesitate to go on the BCT thread, ShadowTalk (forum) or IRC Channel to ask questions.

Despite the low marketcap the project is continously advancing, and more and more devs come to help  

nb: I will add Open Source / Collaborative to the key words that could be in the signature  

[00Smurf]

This is great.

[microchoveur]

Amazing ! I don't have time to participate but I will certainly watch this thread closely

[rynomster]

Woohoo loving the community involvement.
Looks like we are heading in the right direction being more community driven.

I only found out about the project quite recently but was very impressed. 

Can people submit more than one entry for this?

Happy that you have looked at it 

We thought that 2nd and 3rd place could be a bit frustrating, so there will be prize for thoses places, in SDC.

In short:

Winner : 0.2 BTC
2nd: 300 SDC
3rd: 150 SDC

(atm 1 SDC ~ 20k sats)

[Superhitech]

What would you like as the signature title? (The main text of the signature.) Would you like "Shadow Project," "Shadow Coin," "Shadow Cash," or just "Shadow?"

We don't use "Shadow Coin" but "Shadow Project" or just "Shadow" would be fine for the central text (we quite like them both). "ShadowCash" is the name of the currency, but it's just one element of the project.

Ok, thanks! Will use that as the title. Do you want us to include all the "Shadow Cash," "Shadow Send," etc. in the signature too? Or not?

Yeah, the aim is to show in the signature the majority of the features of the Shadow Project
