Re: ⋆⋆⋆ [SDC] ShadowCash | ShadowSend v2 IS ALIVE ! ** MANDATORY WALLET UPGRADE! ⋆⋆⋆
The fact that you're referring to Shadow as a "scamcoin" shows your complacency and the shallowness of your understanding of the underlying technology. If you were someone truly interested in transacting anonymously you'd be here praising the quality of the implementation. But rather you're here braying as the stiff and outmanoeuvred dinosaurs you've pinned your hopes to are shown for the relics they are. Shadow's solution is leaner, faster, more elegant and ultimately more effective than Dark's. You can spit, sneer and swear all you want, but the times they are a'changing. A good chunk of us came here with the same attitude, including me. Didn't take long to see that I was wrong.
Climb down off your rickshaw and hop on the maglev ffs!
This won't be a good place to watch. The value of the coin will be determined by a few things, none of which exist here. The big one is the breadth of its acceptance. The short PoW+PoS system gives good security at the expense of distribution, and that will need to be overcome too. Slowly, slowly. Once experience determines that the coin is safe and reliable use will increase, first the outlaws, then the privacy absolutists, then everyone else.
In the meantime hopefully work will continue on the wallet. The hard work of the zk seems to be a success, but it could use some improvements that make it smoother for non-expert users. Then there are the promised advanced wallet features. Of course they are just promised for now, but I can't see any reason why the devs would work so hard on the ring signatures and then not be bothered with simpler things like encrypted order forms and file transfer.
