I feel the same way about Bitcoin. It doesn't seem right that just because Satoshi heard about it before me that he gets to to hold 10% of the entire supply. Satoshi pm me if you read this dude and maybe we could sort out an off-exchange trade cos I don't think this "Bitcoin" is going to survive with such unfair distribution.

Shadow's still an absolute bargain given the coin's features and the relentless next-level development work (4 bitcoin's worth get's you on the front page of the rich list),  yet still people complain. It's not like people who invested in the early stages of every other legitimate cryptocurrency project were rewarded by increasing demand and higher prices. Oh no.. wait, yes they were.

Setting myself a reminder to look back on this post in 6 months time so that I can have a chuckle about the time when people complained about the distribution when you could still get SDC for around 11 cents each.

Smartest way is large stakeholders releasing small amounts dependent on market cap... there will be always sellers and buyers no matter large stakeholders or not... and volatility will decrease by time

Even @ 10$/SDC large buyers can get a large stake ...

remember, remember…
 

The whales will part with their coins when there is something to buy with them. Others will offer the whales something for their coins when there is something to buy with them. That's what it's going to take.

One of the things I see happening is people downloading the wallet as a secure alternative to Skype, mostly for communication and the fact that you can also exchange a cryptocurrency with it is a bonus. Once it has full functionality that might be a good way to promote it. "Want to show your boyfriend your tits? Don't want to show NSA employees your tits? Don't want a hacker to blackmail you with pictures of your tits? Then download the Shadowcash wallet!"

Question about Staking

I'm curious, I have some coins in my wallet, but the part of them that is Staking seems to be quite random.. or am I wrong?
Is there any way to set max. amount for Staking? (I know there's the "Reserves" option, but I mean the opposite).

Can someone explain the increase in coin supply to me? I understand that POW phase is over and now we are in POS phase. Does that mean that total coin supply will now increase with 2% a year? I'm asking as I want to understand how much my coins will decrease in price over time if market cap stays equal, it will affect my trading strategy.

Thanks for clarifying that, appreciated.

is shadow chat almost done?

#1.  Mostly wrong.  I guess yes, technically it will be less than 2% for most years.  However, all the coins aren't staking but coin age is saved.  You could have shadow on a paper wallet 5 years, import the same key to a machine wallet, and get 5 years worth of coin age for the first stake.

#2.  Correct.  Fees are redistributed in stakes.  For at least blackcoin anyway, and while I don't know for sure, I'm guessing this is a blackcoin fork, since every pos coin worth a shit in the last 8 months has been.   http://www.reddit.com/r/blackcoin/comments/2n2xp4/raising_staking_awareness_foundation_to_give_out/
