As above:

Oh and the invites to the private shadowmarket alpha are on offer
There will be no functional market till well into 2016 and Ethrreum just made Shadowsend in a few lines of script.
Welcome to November's End

What a load of bollox

If you read MRL0004 you might understand that you can´t just plugin a ringsig architecture without making it neccesary for everyone to use; Just pointing that out, whatever ETH adds it´s not the same if it´s not mandatory. The reason i point this out is just because there´s nothing worse in privacy solutions than snakeoil that makes people feel safe when they aren´t.

Nice try.

Vitalik and the ETH team just made a better shadowsend and we'll see how strict CN coins fare. My hunch: not so good.

No they didn't make a "better" shadowsend. They made a much more limited proof of concept that is totally impractical to use. Even shadowsend is better than that (I think), though it is true they share many of the same weaknesses.


Precisely. You "think". Before too long the documentation of the Ethereum offering will eclipse Shadow's efforts and earn trust through proper peer review etc

That's exactly the point. No docs > no review > no trust.
