Shadow gets mentioned again on DeepDotWeb, in its DNM Recap: State of the Union June 17th post.

Here's the link: https://www.deepdotweb.com/2015/06/17/dnm-recap-state-of-the-union-june-17th/

Thanks for the link Americunt. I have a feeling the financial impact of Shadowmarket is going to be larger than most anticipated. I wasn't aware that the lead developer of OpenBazaar also works for one of the largest CIA contractors. That's going to be a tough sell any way you look at it.. lel. Based on the contents of the article, I foresee a massive infusion of DN capital into SDC as the ShadowMarket release draws nearer. 2015 is shaping up to be the year of the Shadow.

I couldn't agree more GameOfCoins, the DNM's are crying out for a solution and all the other options are looking less and less likely to have any real impact.

According to the Q&A Shadow will support I2P and Tor (not TOR...), Tails ships both.
Someone should figure out how to install Shadow on Tails before the market gets released, so that all DNM buyers and vendors have enough time to start using it.

And since everyone would run the same OS, it would be much easier to help them if they had any questions.

If Shadow gets on Tails, the market gets released and some people start using it, the DNMs will slowly become obsolete.

No reason it shouldn't run on TAILS just as it is. Easy enough to test now. Only problem is this is a staking coin, TAILS is intended for intermittent use and people might not want to give up the >2% payments. But many people living in sensitive areas where even having the blockchain on your hard drive is a liability might.

A neat application might be to just have everything associated with SDC written to a USB drive that you can lose if necessary. Same for a Shadow phone, put it all on the SD card so if you remove it not even a shadow remains.

What if staking would work on Tails? I think most people will use SDT instead of SDC for transactions just because they can and also for privacy reasons.

Bitcoin-qt works on Tails, the client also has an option to use Tor, couldn't Shadow have something similar? Some sort of checkbox which you can check if you're running Shadow on a OS that has I2P or Tor.

I'd rather use Tails for sensitive things, i.e. all financial and privacy matters, simply to seperate my working machine from everything else.

By any chance do you know what dependencies Shadow needs to run on Tails? If so we should try it out and get it to work, maybe post some instructions on The Hub forums, DeepDotWeb etc., allowing others to follow a step-by-step guide.

How big is the current Shadow blockchain?
