that is cool, I was expecting just another shitcoin but this looks like it might have some actual potential.
you have caught my interest. I am hoping that you will be able to bring more to the table than just the fix in shadowcash.

It's not "just a fix". You actually have to know what you are doing and be able to do it correctly. It's not like we fixed a typo somewhere. Shadowcash didn't know what they were doing and got completely de-anoned. They are still trying to figure out the correct way to do it.





I did not mean to underplay your fix for shadowcash, apologies if I have offended.
Just wanted to say I hope you will continue to improve eclipse in ways other than fixing the anonymity flaw in shadowcash because there is potential for eclipse.
Suggestion: if the fix is indeed correct, having it verified somehow will bring much more credibility and attention to eclipse.
I am not capable of verifying it otherwise I would gladly volunteer.

We hope to offer Shen Noether a bounty for a review of our method.


Great idea

Shen providing a review would be great for Eclipse.

I was getting the opinion of others on SDC/Eclipse and a good point was brought up.

any input or thoughts from the XMR camp? Does this mean Eclipse is cryptograhically anonymous?

They seem to have at least tried to fix the one identified flaw in SDC. Whether SDC has other flaws they didn't fix or whether their fix is even correct is not something anyone can answer without spending a lot of time reviewing it all, which probably won't ever happen.


Valid points, I am hoping they will be able to get their 'fix' properly reviewed.
Assuming the fix is indeed correct, would that mean that it is then truly anonymous?
In other words: if recently exposed flaw in SDC anonymity was fixed, does it make SDC as/more anonymous as XMR? or is SDC still inferior to XMR for anonymity?

What about the other 99.999% of SDC, developed by the same people who made a basic math/crypto error, and which no one has ever reviewed?

Shen found that one flaw effectively by accident, while working on something else.

If SDC were comprehensively reviewed, then one could make claims about it. At this point, I would not.


Have you considered the possibility of this? Is there a reason why you chose shadowcash method of anonymity over other ways of anonymity?
