Re: ⋆⋆⋆ [SDC] ShadowCash | ShadowSend v2 IS ALIVE ! ** MANDATORY WALLET UPGRADE! ⋆⋆⋆
Hey Peter Todd, wondering what you think about ShadowCash? It seems pretty cool to me, but I am not nearly technical enough to completely understand the inner workings. I only barely grasp the concepts they are using, but it sounds pretty revolutionary.
They just released their shadow send feature and white paper a couple weeks ago. White paper here: http://shadow.cash/downloads/shadowcash-anon.pdf

Like stealth, I don't have the background to really understand the ring-signatures ShadowCash uses; I was contacted by ShadowCash to do an audit and deferred it to a cryptographer I know. They said the math looked to be a clone of Monero, done on top of Bitcoin. They were however potentially interested in doing an audit of the ring signatures idea to get a better idea of what kind of privacy it really gives people in practice - we'll see if they have the time to work on that further in the near future.
Best not to say more publicly than that given I just haven't done the research to really know.
The phrase "clone of Monero" would incense Ryno
Im sure SDC is not that (cryptonote)
waiting on your friend
Awesome to have you here!
edit: the phrase "there's more than one way to skin a cat" also comes to mind
p.s. I very much hope the audit being performed by the cryptographer you deferred to in this matter will help disambiguate, once and for all, the difference between Shadow and Monero. With Respect & Thanks.
