Hello everybody,

It’s good to see you all so actively supporting Shadow and staying positive as we work towards the release of our decentralized market. As some of you may have noticed, we’ve been a bit quiet on these forums lately when it comes to actively reaching out to all of you with development updates. This doesn’t mean we’ve been sitting still though, because we have a fun week ahead of us. We'll come back to that later.

First of all we are very happy to announce that both Tecnovert and I will be working full-time on Shadow from now on! We're setting our main jobs aside for the upcoming months so that we can really focus on the job at hand. This will obviously result in quicker progress when it comes to releasing new features. Going forward we are also going to post a lot more in terms of development reports. Our team has been working with Shadow community members who are setting up a new website with a development blog to keep you all up to date. So expect regular updates from now on - this one being the first.

The weeks ahead of us are all about ShadowMarket so we are pleased to announce that we have started integrating it into Shadowcore’s back end. We're currently switching from scrypt to SHA-256 so that staking requires less cpu cycles, updating to PoS v2 to improve network stability and working on BIP32 and BIP44 support so that we can support hierarchical / tree categories for the market. Once we are finished with these enhancements, things should start moving significantly faster. We will be making radical changes to the Secure Messaging (ShadowChat), to support Pub/Sub messages, so that people could subscribe to certain categories for the market, where we will then move towards our first round of public alpha/beta testing. We’ve noticed there are lots of questions about how ShadowMarket will work so we have begun gathering them and will answer them in an overview later this week. So much about the upcoming Shadowmarket for now.

We are all still waiting for Isidor Zeuner’s review of our ShadowSend anonymity system in comparison to other anonymous cryptocurrencies. It is still ongoing and we are currently writing more documentation, which is currently our weakest point. We’ve been in contact with Isidor and are trying to give him a helping hand where needed. Please note that it’s quite a task seeing as he will not only study our system but also compare it to the alternatives out there.

As said earlier, we have a fun week ahead of us. We will try to give more specific details on that later this week.

Thank you all for your support!

Hello everybody,

While most of Shadow's developers are busy doing what they do best, some of us have been working hard on a publicity strategy intended to create greater awareness of The Shadow Project.

As mentioned in rynomster's update, up until quite recently we haven't been as active as we could have been in keeping the community informed about development, or in publicizing the project outside the forums. One effect the recent Vice article had was to bring in a host of new users (including some developers) who'd like to learn more about - and to contribute to - the project. It's been inspiring to meet so many people who share our enthusiasm for the project's goals! The community is absolutely vital to Shadow and we wouldn't have achieved nearly so much without your help.

So with that in mind we're pleased to announce that today officially marks the start of a publicity campaign we have all been working very hard on.


Over the coming days we will:
 

   - Start a thunderclap campaign to create more awareness for Shadow.

   
   - Launch a new landing website for newcomers with the help of some community members.
   
   - Release a promotional video to help people better understand how Shadow works.



With this we hope to attract and inform even more people about Shadow, and to expand and strengthen the community and project further still. This will be far greater in scope than any previous efforts to publicize the project and in particular we're hoping to start reaching those in the more general public who might also be interested in what we're doing.

All Shadow holders are equal and all have a say in the direction the project is heading. You are all invited to join Slack and discuss all ongoing projects. If you are a developer, you can use your powers to do good and contribute!

Community is now invited to join Slack, to discuss, develop and share about Shadow  

NEW : Join us directly at https://shadowproject.herokuapp.com/

interesting read

[dNote]

We are working on BIG update. As you may know, we like "quantum leaps" like we did with duck->dark.
Meanwhile PoS/PoW hybrid, Aliases and multisignutares, and some other "messaging" functions will upside down all you know before about cryptos. You just need to wait, and we just want to keep a little mystery, one reason is because we do not want to interrupt the dev process because of unnecessary excitement and anticipation caused by the inevitable future success of DarkNote.

Today marks the start of a multi-channel marketing approach set up to create more awareness for The Shadow Project.

This will be greater in scope than previous efforts to publicize the project and in particular we're hoping to start reaching those in the more general public who might also be interested in what we're doing.

Hey dudes, are there any releases that could make change/improve the OP chart ?
I think it could be good to update it !

Cheers

Two fixes for comparison:

- Monero: it has a web wallet: mymonero.com
- DarkNote: it has a lite GUI wallet (the official one is LITE - it doesn't download blockchain to PC)

Monero as a web wallet, but the core isn't an html one. That's why I put it in Orange

Changed for DarkNote

OSX notification center even works nicely for EM notifications










In the next 4 months the wallet will have the marketplace below in it and also or shortly after the encrypted messaging will support free encrypted voice and video calling

Updated !

[xxxgoodgirls]

You did not changed Dash's unlinkable/untraceable from amber to green did you?
Pretty standard unfairness coming from a SDC shrill.

[bitofc]

Crytonote (XMR, XDN, BBR and etc.) and SDC are using ring signatures to make untraceable payment. 
Navajo is using sub chain, and double encryption to create anonymous payment.
Both are complicated, and have not gone through many thorough review by expert 3 party and most of us here do not have the capability to claim either ring signatures or double encryption is superior.

While Dash has been around the longest, with multi-tier network and masternode.  Masternode is not centralized, because anyone can run it.  The network create incentive to run a Masternode which is also a full node.  So Dash is now very stable with a lot decentralized masternode.  Dash is using mixing to create untraceable payment, I feel that sometime simple solution is the best way to solve a problem.  Dash also has been reviewed by 3 party expert, the mixing part has been further improved over time.  For now, I shall put my money with Dash, while open to look for and learn other anonymous cryptocurrency.

[Dofus]

I guess we'll need more updates soon

[Dofus]

What's up folks ?

[illodin]

What's up folks ?

Dunno, ask Isidor?

[WealthyBastard]

Well...
I guess we'll have very soon huges changes to make on the initial board !

Update: Thursday, Juli 2 2015

HD (Hierarchical Deterministic) Wallet Testing Has Started!

Our developers have made significant progress with the HD wallet development in terms of code refactoring, unit testing and bug stomping. The HD wallet implementation will be a key part of the new update because the BIP32 structure will also be used to create the ShadowMarket categories. This will allow the creation of an infinite tree of categories for the market place. From a wallet perspective this will also allow you to recreate your entire wallet from the single passphrase, which means you will only need to write-down/remember the passphrase once.
Yes that means no more worrying about regular backups and secure storage of wallet files.

We will be completing our final testing in the upcoming weeks. Once complete this will be the first native implementation of a hierarchical deterministic wallet within the satoshi forked codebase.

New And Improved ShadowCore GUI

Ever since the first version of ShadowCore was launched, we have always made sure to be in tune to our users adaptive needs. Taking into account your requests and feedback we have implemented some changes, refreshed and improved our GUI. While doing so, we tried to focus on some of Shadows upcoming features like ShadowMarket that will require a lot of new elements. ShadowCore’s improved GUI will break new ground in cryptocurrecy software by bringing more controls to your fingertips and provides a completely new user experience.

Here’s a list of some of the changes. A detailed list will be posted with the live release.

- Full responsive design
- New slide-in sub-level sidebar big/small version
- Better data tables / pagination
- New options/settings screen with tabs (wallet)
- New options/settings (market)
- Marketplace listing
- Improved send and receive pages
- Help functions (popups) for new SDC users
- New search / modal
- Market category filters

The new version of ShadowCore is currently undergoing final testing and debugging. We expect to be able to release around the end of this month. Below you will find a sneak preview of the improved GUI + ShadowMarket feature.  Many enhancements have been made to increase end-user productivity and pleasure. Our goal is to create a visual representation of a ecommerce platform that users can easily relate to.

*We will upload a 2nd video that focusses more on ShadowMarket’s look and feed + user interface later this month.

Moving Forward

Now that Q2 has ended we wanted to take some time to thank everybody that has contributed and supported us over the past months. We can look back with gratitude to the many that put their faith in Shadow by supporting the technology, buying SDC, and more. We’re proud of what we’ve been able to do together so far, and are very excited about the tremendous growth and change for Shadow’s technology and adoption. The past months have been an exciting journey, with a bigger and better development team and supportive community, there is no telling what Shadow will achieve by the end of Q3.

Now, before we get to emotional. Let’s take a look at some of our future plans as we enter the next phase of the Shadow project.

- ShadowCore 2.0 release
- ShadowGo 2.0 (android) beta release
- HD wallet implementation
- Multisig support for ShadowTokens
- BIP65 (smart escrow support)
- ShadowMarket feedback and rating system
- ShadowMarket Back-end/front-end integration
- ShadowMarket alpha testing phase

That covers our development updates for now. If you have any questions regarding recent or upcoming changes you can contact us via IRC, SLACK or Github. You can stay up to date with our progress by registering to ShadowTalk, subscribing to the Shadow blog or following us on twitter.

FUCKING AWESOME ! *__________*

[bbreconomy]

Please add Boolberry to this comparison chart. It is one of the most innovative cryptonote coins.

See the attached presentation to learn more:
http://boolberry.com/files/Boolberry_Solves_CryptoNote_Issues.pdf

The problem is that ordinary CryptoNote coin’s will lose unlinkability from time to time (with mixin = 0),

Boolberry has a special flag in each transaction’s output to fix this problem.

With the flag the sender can set the output to be used only with specified number of mixins.

In other words, this flag guarantees that this coin won’t be spent without mixins, so it will never compromise ring signatures in which it was
involved.

Boolberry comparison:



Boolberry Compared to Bitcoin
In comparison to Bitcoin forks, Boolberry is developed on newer CryptoNote technology, making it of more flexible architecture. The main benefit of CryptoNote technology is anonymity of the sender and recipient along with transaction unlinkability. This provides great protection to user's privacy which is highly important today.

Boolberry benefits:

• Ring Signature based cryptography, which ensures new level of privacy, anonymity and unlinkability
• Separate Wallet and Daemon provide and additional level of security and cloud compatibility
• Flexible RPC-like network protocol with forward and backward capability provides ability to extend network interaction format quickly and painlessly.
• New ASIC-Resistant Hash algorithm named Wild Keccack takes the SHA3 Keccak to a higher level.

Boolberry Compared to CryptoNote
Boolberry was designed from the beginning to address several issues with Ordinary CryptoNote coins such incomplete anonymity and block chain bloat.

• Unlinkable outputs ensures the user's anonymity is not broken due to zero mixin usage.
• Transaction identification by prefix allows Boolberry to cut ring signatures from block chain reducing block chain size by 60-90%, depending on mixin usage.
• Removed Dust from block reward to reduce block chain size even more.
• New block chain based PoW hash provides faster synchronization with network and immunity from DoS attacks.
• Network Alerts allow developers to broadcast messages about critical updates or other important events to the network
• Donation-based crowd-funding: Boolberry has an open and transparent model of project financing with a maximum of 1% of mined coins reserved for project development. The actual rate is controlled by network participants (miners) using votes. Boolberry gives a fixed percentage to the CryptoNote founders.
• Wallet address aliasing: any wallet can be linked with symbolic name via special type extra record in coinbase. Block chain will control registered names uniqueness.
• More rational emission curve
