Hello guys, I thought it would be really nice if someone could do it here. I'm very interested in some coins I found recently (ShadowCash, Monero) that seems like to be really good competitor to Darkcoin with great concepts. They have good dev' with many annoncement and news incoming after a lot of work that has been very well made, at least that is what my researches told me.

Anyone could explain me the differences ?

Thanks for your future help guys !

There has been a little bit of a debate about this, which occasionally turns into a troll/flame/FUD fest.  People are very defensive about their coins.  Personally I feel that SDC has the most promise from things I have seen. However I think we should support all projects that are attempting to increase privacy and anonymity in crypto.  

Anyways Isidor Zeuner is said to be coming out with a review on ShadowCash in the near future, and I heard he may also be comparing ShadowCash to Monero, DRK, cryptonote, and other anon coins to highlight the similarities and differences.  There has been some confusion on this issue.  I think that if ShadowCash passes peer review without any critical flaw then it is probably the best anon coin.  But I'm sure others who are diehard fans of other anon coins will disagree.

Also I should mention that the Shadow Project has other valuable things such as ShadowChat encrypted messaging within the official wallet.  Soon they say they will add voice, video, and file support.  They are also working on a decentralized marketplace within the official wallet, similar to open bazaar.  They also have had many other accomplishments with their wallet and mobile wallets.


So, encrypted messaging and basically the opinion of some broke plebian discord result in the amount of $282,482.

ring signatures and basically some crazed bible thumpers brought together $1,415,675.

while fancy mixing, with basically the entire social capital that was originally interested in an anonymous bitcoin originally bring in $16,963,366

and you're telling me that the price rising to greater than 17 million dollar market cap hinges on the opinion of one broke absolutely unrelated to cryptocurrency motherfucker?

Please.

If that worked I'd be a fucking millionaire right now.    

Hello there.  I never said any such thing about price resulting from one broke/bloke.  Rather the price is more a function of the press and media hype that a coin gets.  Unfortunately for ShadowCash it has not gotten the attention it yet deserves, as it has been eclipsed by other anon coins such as DRK, which got a first mover advantage.  People also got burned out on a lot of anon coin scams, so they are very skeptical of any new coin and tired to look into them all.

Also Isidor Zeuner is not some bloke unrelated to cryptocurrency.  He is a German cryptographer, and one of the few active members on the Bitcoin developers mailing list.  Often his posts are involved with anonymity and privacy.  You can read some of Isidor Zeuner's stuff on the bitcoin dev mailing list here: https://www.mail-archive.com/bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net/
