how will the marketplace offers be stored, what about the images/media and other info, how are they stored? I'm assuming your hosting each marketplace via the simple http server you have in your code? How is it decentralized hosting, that i thought was claimed somewhere about this coin?
As I understand the Shadow communication system, all the content for the platform exists in each wallet. That's the way the Shadowchat works- everybody on the network gets the message, only the intended recipient can read it or is alerted to it.
This may eventually create a bit of of bloat and I can foresee the wallet and its content getting very large after a while, but there is no free lunch.
^ this .. However the beauty of it running on the ShadowChat P2P network is that we have full control over data pruning ... So no bloat!
How is the data persisted? Like if there is an offer in the marketplace it essentially is only in your wallet and the html interface just shows it? Would another node be able to sell your offer in his marketplace?
Good you guys brought this up again as I was wondering this myself still..
On the subject of blockchain bloat, I saw this interesting post on reddit earlier:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/301r4e/crypto_primitive_shorter_than_current_monero_ring/Adam Back I guess has suggested a way to decrease the size of ring sigs by about 1/2 of what they are today. May be interesting to some.
I think there are other anon solutions with bigger problems regarding the blockchain bloat then shadowCash ... I'm definitly waiting to see some more info and comparing into this... Ring sizes are already smaller I think, only I see could be way to many rounds are possible...
I'm not a professional at all but the more I read , the more I believe the tech behind sdc is pretty good.
I was into this project because of this, I was exploring the new tech , the nice wallet, delivery was on shedule etc and it looked all pretty cool.
I sold all my remaining stash last week.
