Hey Smooth, welcome! Have you had a chance to use the new protocol?

No, I just read the white paper.

Smooth: PM me with your SDC addy and I'll send you some.

Please everyone: the anon vertical isn't a hockey match, we're all fighting towards the same goal of financial privacy; that doesn't mean we should be fighting amongst each other. Please keep the discussion technical there's no room here for bashing developer efforts.. Smooth has came in here and praised our work; there's no reason to be confrontational towards him i.e. telling him "to leave the thread" and so forth.

One of the strengths SDC has moving forward as a new contender for a top spot in the anon vertical is that the SDC codebase is much more mature than cryptonote-based coins, since there has been much more contribution made towards the Bitcoin codebase. There's also been years of commerce to test it's security. That's not to say in the future Cryptonote-coins won't catch up, but things like mobile applications and friendly UIs is something that helps put Shadow in the forefront.

Although Bytecoin was out way before Darkcoin, the latter has the first mover advantage over every coin project in the anon vertical; However, superior technology can alter landscape.

Shadow's main weakness at the moment is recognition from the media and from the general crypto community.. but I have a strong feeling that will be changing very soon. Traction comes with time and we have plenty of that.

In the future, our team will be focused on further improving upon an already amazing innovation, so we can all look forward to that. Right now we have the best anon solution on the market coupled with a proven platform and a wide array of features some of which have a viable market value to multiple billion dollar industries. I would implore any new investors to really dig into our project and see what it is about. We've made many "firsts" for crypto and we'll continue to do so. Our team is dedicated to the project, so get involved and join in on the journey - it's going to be an amazing ride Cheesy

I should hopefully have the new website up later today. I'm looking forward to getting everyone's feedback there.

That said, I wish everyone happy holidays. Enjoy your time with your families (remember to tell them about SDC) and wish you all the best in 2015.
