Face the truth! Masternode will never come! Dev is a con man! Incompetent and no coding skills in my opinion. Probably he hired a coder with initial earnings. Dev is only able to refactor the website from time to time. To run a successful blockchain project this is not enough! The project looked promising, but we all got duped!!! Merry Christmas  

Seriously!!! 38.7% premine!!! That's the worst I've ever seen!!!

Wallet is working fine and safe!

You're too late  Moon was last year 

Did the POW phase already start? Where can I find information about mining?

Played around with the wallet. Works fine. Wallet is looking nice. Transaction is very fast. From a technical perspective not a bad start ;-)

I had the same problem. I found the following workaround: Use an old address from a transaction from the old wallet. You can find such addresses in the "History" tab of your wallet. This did the job for me. I'm not sure but I think with the old version XSH addresses started with "S". This seems not to be case for the wallet 3.0 anymore. I assume CE still has a check active, and refuses withdrawals with addresses not starting with "S". But this is pure speculation :-)

I agree this may sound weird, at least at first glance ;-) Let me explain it to you. When investing in crypto currencies I'm always checking several characteristics. One very important attribute for me is "liquidity". I want to be able to buy or sell coins at any time! When markets change unexpectedly, I don't want to be stuck with my coins. If exchange wallets are now offline for a long time, this criteria is not met anymore, meaning I cannot deposit nor withdraw my coins. This is a risk I don't want to take, especially not when invested a lot of money. SHIELD may be one of the best altcoins available currently. It has great potential. But since the amount of exchanges is limited, I have to evaluate carefully taking that risk.

I'm worrying now for the first time about this project. The new wallet at CoinExchange.io is in maintenance mode for weeks. Dev strongly recommended to use mainly this exchange, and to ignore Stocks.Exchange. Maybe CoinExchange.io is not the best option at all. I’m losing trust into this exchange. Also the market trend of XSH is worrying me. If the wallet at CoinExchange.io is not updated the next days, I’m probably going to sell all my coins (it’s a lot!), and skip this project. I hope this won’t be necessary.

No reasons to be nervous! I guess Dev shifted priorities lately. Dev worked on Shield 3.0 (updating XSH to Bitcoin Core 0.16). This move was necessary to get away from the original forked Verge code. As you may know Verge experienced a 51 % attack lately. So moving away from the Verge code is a good thing. I just downloaded the new wallet 3.0. Up to now everything works just fine. So Dev did a great job! They have my full trust. I'm pretty sure they will catch up soon with the roadmap. So I wouldn't worry too much 

That depends on the amount of active masternodes.

A very good description can be found on "Medium":

Lately I was also giving thought to the Japanese decision to delist privacy coins. I'm pretty sure more countries and exchanges will follow. I was hoping that somehow optional privacy will be implemented. You Shield guys rock! You're doing everything right at the moment  I love this coin!

Yep! Can't wait!

I'm interested, too 

Consolidation in the crypto market is still ongoing. I even expect a worsening of the situation. Not many alt coins will survive at the end. SIA could be one of the few exceptions.

I agree this is really weird. The whole crypto market is very bullish right now. The downside trend of Shield is hard to explain. Project is well on track, no bad news around.

Maybe the scammers from CoinsMarkets exchange are selling even more Shield coins they stole from their users. This happened already in the past where they sold millions of coins, see the proof below:

Hope this soon comes to an end.

DAG works differently than the blockchain. Where the blockchain requires e.g. Proof of Work from miners on each transaction the DAG gets around this by getting rid of the block entirely. Instead, DAG transactions are linked from one to another, meaning one transaction confirms the next and so on. These links are where the term DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) comes from. Look up Directed Acyclic Graph in Wikipedia for the mathematical details.

Theoretically DAG does show advantages over the blockchain at nearly every level. But using a DAG system involves also many risks, mainly lack of experience.

The most popular DAG coins so far are IOTA and Byteball.

Directed acyclic graphs should be quantum resistant. I think that's the reason why Dev is trying to implemented DAG. Because that's their goal, to develop a quantum resistant coin.

Does this forum still have any meaning? All those positive comments coming from the bounty program are just annoying. What a waste of disk space!

High POS coins never have a good future. It's called inflation!!! 

The idea looked promising. Too bad project is dead
