Get Synchronized With The New Bootstrap!

With the release of our new and improved ShadowCore client yesterday, we now introduce to you our new and improved bootstrap file, which under tests has shown to get your new ShadowCore client completely synchronized in just a few hours!

Info: https://github.com/dasourced/bootstrap-shadow/
Instructions: http://shadowcash.info/x/MAAV

*Bootstrapping is the preferred way to get your ShadowCore client synchronized because the client will validate the blocks for extra security against the network.

Speed Up The Process By Downloading The Blockchain

However for those of you who do not wish to wait you can alternatively “cheat” by downloading blockchain.zip and extracting the contents ("blk0001.dat" and "txleveldb") to your “ShadowCoin” data directory (overwriting the existing "blk0001.dat" file and "txleveldb" directory). If you don’t know where to find your data directory, please refer to the wiki: here. This method should have you synchronized in under 10 minutes. The blockchain.zip has been created from the above bootstrap.dat file.

*If you are already synchronized, there is no harm in using either of these methods above, as this will give you a "clean" blockchain, which will further help new wallets synchronize quicker.

Have a great weekend,

(..) Excellent!. I love a hard fork in the morning! (..)

Is it just me, or does the wallet consumes less memory after the fork?
Seems like for me it dropped almost ~50 %

SHA requires way less than Scrypt

Bootstrap in my world is a software package for making websites OR software loading automatically at boot up of a system, hence boot-strapped.  And its listed under Documentation on the website.  I must be taking crazy pills to have overlooked that.   

Greetings boys.
I need some nodes. Only 2 connection to network.

Those nodes are good, we are aware of an issue which if you are behind NAT and do not have a peer.dat file (i.e. new installation) then the number of peers available is between 2 and 4.
If you can compile from source, the fix is already on the github; if not we will be releasing the new wallets tomorrow after some final testing.

Good eyes!

Yes I can conform iric wallet used to run 700MB+ memory, now using 160MB.
I make it 1/4

bodes well for android release!

Yeah, I dropped from about ~500 MB to 260 MB (@elementaryOS, dunno how on much my Win7).

+1 on Android and overall, it's great. I'm glad that wasn't just a coincidence :]
