BREAKING: @coinbase TO LIST @solana-BASED $SHDW (@GenesysGo)

Very excited to have the opportunity to unveil the next major leap forward for $SHDW Drive on-stage at @SolanaCrossroad! This will be a literal world first for #web3, don't miss it! Crossroads tickets are 25% off for the next 48 hours only if you use code "solana" at checkout!

I reapeat - this is not a shitcoin $SHDW @GenesysGo No need to fuck around to find out. Just go to shdwdrive.com/

UPDATED THREAD: all you need to know about $SHDW Drive powered by @GenesysGo, the only @solana native & high-performance cloud platform, and why it outclasses competitors like @Filecoin, @ArweaveEco, @akashnet, @storj, @siafoundation and others. shdwdrive.com/

$FIL current market cap is ~ 2.7x away from matching its all-time high (11.4b) $FIL current price is ~ 21.6x away from matching its all-time high ($176) What causes the discrepancy? Token unlocks. Over time, Filecoin ($FIL) has seen a steady influx of tokens into circulation through unlocks, resulting in a dilution of the value of each token. To put it in perspective, if Filecoin were to reach its previous all-time high price again (assuming the current circulating supply remains constant), its market capitalization would need to surpass a staggering 90 billion👀. On the other hand, what's particularly appealing about $SHDW is that it's already more than 90% fully diluted. The token unlocks have already taken place, meaning as an investor, you need not fret about insider tokens being released and potentially diluting the value. true token ownership. with that being said, Filecoin is an amazing project, and it is really cool to see them gaining traction right now. #DePin

$SHDW Drive’s Testnet2 draws to a close tomorrow! We’re beyond grateful to everyone who participated. 🙏🙏🙏 Here’s some housekeeping items and a recap of the learnings from Testnet2. Housekeeping: - The Testnet2 network will continue to run but tomorrow is the last day node operators will earn rewards. - There is no deadline to withdraw staked SHDW, so don’t worry if you leave it sitting there. - Over the next few weeks the team will be parsing the data collected for the shdwPoints system. There were a lot of wallets which tried to game the system by playing a SHDW shell game. Rather than reward dishonest behavior, the team has decided to take the time to manually track the wallets in question to ensure that no one gaming the system gets rewarded. Testnet2 Recap: - The biggest takeaway the team had from Testnet2 was the sheer amount of junk that had been built into D.A.G.G.E.R.’s original codebase. We were aware that there were areas for improvement but deciding where to begin was a task in and of itself. Testnet2 and the shdwOperators participating in the network did exactly what we had hoped they would do, they dramatically sped up the development process. Building and leaning in an academic environment is nice, but nothing beats the knowledge gained from real world experience. A huge amount of our team’s effort during Testnet2 has been focused on ripping out some of the more bespoke artisanal elements of D.A.G.G.E.R.’s codebase and replacing them with code that’s capable of running in a production level environment. Because of Testnet2 we’ve been able to identify issues and apply fixes to the erasure coding schema, the internal p2p networking, as well as the core consensus mechanism. In fact, it was the work that went into rebuilding D.A.G.G.E.R. which acted as the catalyst for what we’re deploying at @SolanaCrossroad! As said, these leaps forward would not have been possible without the efforts of everyone who participated in Testnet2! So, once again, a huge thank you to everyone who submitted issues and provided logs! As we move forward through the rest of 2024, we’re looking forward to continuing to apply the outputs from Testnet2 towards the full deployment of shdwDrive v2 slated for the middle of this year! #Solana #web3 #DePIN #SHDW

Think about how Brave browser exploded in popularity simply bc ppl could earn a few free tokens every month for browsing the internet, an activity they were already going to be doing. This is how we think about running an Auditor Node and their ability to on-ramp ppl to $SHDW.

D.A.G.G.E.R. Wield version, "0.4.0", is available for $SHDW Operators to download! Please head over to docs.shdwdrive.com/wield to check it out. IMPORTANT - This is a core consensus change. Your node has to be restarted. - The team has made some awesome changes to the install script. We highly recommend giving it a whirl, we think you'll be very pleased. - Pay attention to the "config.toml" changes in the docs. Some very important changes there. - Epochs are now 200 bundles in length, instead of 20 bundles. This will allow for a larger time window for nodes that are behind to catch up, before they are lost forever in the void of past epochs. We really appreciate all the time the community has spent helping us figure out some of the weird things that only crop up when there's a unique mixture of nodes and uncontrollable variables. This is exactly what a Testnet is for and the #Solana community has dramatically accelerated our progress with their participation. Together, we're solidifying the foundation of D.A.G.G.E.R.!

Are you a member of the @solanamobile who owns a #Solana Saga? Are you attending @SolanaCrossroad? You might want to consider bringing your Saga with you to XRoads and attending @Frank_theTrader's presentation Friday afternoon local time (May 10th). Just sayin' $SHDW

Smells like a breakout. Let’s see! $SHDW @GenesysGo

Part 2 is live! Lfg #Solana ! Today we breakdown the litepaper sections dealing with $SHDW Drive v2, our improvements on Reed-Solomon erasure coding, and why we believe mobile networks are critical to the survival of #web3 data storage. shdwdrive.com/blog/guide-to-…

🤯🤯🤯

With D.A.G.G.E.R. Testnet version 0.5.0 being released and the $SHDW Operators having executed a successful restart we're pleased to say the Testnet public dashboard is nearly ready for release! #Solana #web3 #DePIN

A refresher about the mechanics behind the $SHDW token: 1) Token Utility and Value Accrual: SHDW is designed such that its value is directly tied to its utility. Value accrual to the token truly begins when the full utility (i.e. the shdwDrive v2 platform) has been deployed. docs.shdwdrive.com/token/uti… 2) shdwDrive v1.5 vs shdwDrive v2: v1.5 (the currently deployed version of shdwDrive) is and has always been a stepping stone. shdwDrive v2 (powered by D.A.G.G.E.R.) transforms the platform into a fully decentralized trustless permissionless network which drives platform revenues directly into the hands of SHDW holders. docs.shdwdrive.com/learn/des… docs.shdwdrive.com/operate The release date for v2 is currently targeted for end of Q2 - first week or two of Q3. docs.shdwdrive.com/token/roa… 3) shdwDrive v2 Native UI and Platform: Part of the purpose of shdwDrive v1.5 being deployed as a placeholder is to gather learnings. One of those learnings is the importance of deploying a native shdwDrive UI to ensure a consistent user experience which in turn will make onboarding new users to shdwDrive v2 significantly smoother. 4) Laying the Foundations: Everything the team is doing today is focused on laying the foundations for tomorrow in order to drive adoption of both the tech and the token on a mass scale. - Exchange Listings (in progress). - Having the proper legal and regulatory frameworks in place to comply with the laws governing data storage (a must in order to win enterprise customers). - Ensuring scalability of the tech (hence testnet2). - Tokenomics designed to capture platform growth as value and drive it to token holders (in place). Building a data storage platform catering only to the most fanatical hardcore red-pilled would be incredibly shortsighted. Everything our team does is focused on the long game, it is why GenesysGo has been thriving in the #web3 space for nearly 3 years and why we will be thriving in web3 for the next 30.

SHDW, CRWN

$SHDW 13 weeks of sideways under resistance. Not much buzz, AI / DePIN alined while being on SOL. Potential FIL beta?

$SHDW printing a casual +70% NFA & DYOR! But maybe some people start recognizing @GenesysGo’s amazing work. Sure, there is still a lot to be achieved, but the current market cap of below USD 20m is - in my personal opinion - completely ridiculous. For those who are interested in the tech beyond the price move: docs.shadow.cloud/learn shdwdrive.com/blog

If you’ve been a member of the $SHDW community for a while then you know that when @GenesysGo goes quiet for a bit it’s bc we’re working on something big… @SolanaCrossroad is gonna be 🔥🔥🔥 #Solana #web3 #DePIN #SHDW

🧵DAGGER / ShdwDrive v2 THREAD🧵 ║Storage & Compute #Depin project, by @genesysgo. ► Key points of what this project, once mature, will look like. ― Statut : public Testnet on #solana 🟥DAGGER 🟧ShdwDrive v2 🟨ShdwNodes │ $SHDW 🟩Testnet 🟦Conclusion 🟪Sources LET'S GO🔥

THREAD: how to setup a DAGGER node using only your mobile in 15 minutes! Cost: 15$ / month Benefit: you get to see the power of DAGGER before anyone else, without having to 'trust the team'. $SHDW @GenesysGo

TLDR 🗡️ The testnet runs from January 16th, 2024 to April 16th, 2024, distributing 600,000 $SHDW across three categories: shdwOperators, shdwStaking, and shdwPoints. shdwOperators (300,000 SHDW pool) can earn SHDW by running a shdwNode, contributing storage to shdwDrive, with a maximum of 150 operators. shdwStaking (175,000 SHDW pool) encourages SHDW token holders to stake their tokens, with rewards proportional to their staking amount. shdwPoints (125,000 SHDW pool) are awarded based on wallet activity and SHDW holdings, allowing redemption for SHDW at the end of the testnet.

The D.A.G.G.E.R. Testnet moves forward as we drop binaries for ANYONE to connect to the network and become a $SHDW Operator who contributes storage to the network! docs.shdwdrive.com/wield In the docs ⬆️you'll find everything you need in order to spin up a D.A.G.G.E.R. Wield node to participate in this phase of the Testnet. Participate for as much or as little as you like and get a feel for what D.A.G.G.E.R. looks like running on your machine. It cannot be understated just how proud we are of this accomplishment. This deployment represents a year of incredibly hard work, problem solving, and dedication on the part of the GenesysGo team. We are so incredibly grateful to our team, they are truly the best the #Solana ecosystem has to offer! With this deployment we begin the first stage of D.A.G.G.E.R.'s life as an open permissionless fully decentralized data storage and availability #Web3 protocol. Of course, this is still just the beginning of our journey to bringing shdwDrive and D.A.G.G.E.R. to the #Solana ecosystem and beyond! We're very excited about what we'll learn from the logs about a permissionless data storage network and so we hope you will SMASH the D.A.G.G.E.R. Testnet with requests and file uploads! Success happens when the Testnet network breaks! Please hammer away here: dagger-hammer.shdwdrive.com/ As you may have noticed we've worked to ensure a steady cycle of content and updates to our blog site and so keep an eye on shdwdrive.com/blog as we publish our findings there. To anyone participating as a shdwOperator please don't hesitate to join our discord discord.com/genesysgo and ask questions in the support channels! Should you find a bug or security issue please visit docs.shdwdrive.com/build#bug… and then follow the process to report responsibly.

As the @GenesysGo team continues moving forward with the D.A.G.G.E.R. Testnet and the upcoming migration to shdwDrive v2, we've seen an influx of new members to the community. For those who are new, here's a quick refresher on the mechanics of the $SHDW token and the network!

So here is some crypto drama for you… 🍿 This week we heard that @irys_xyz is planning to fork Arweave. Permanent storage needs forks – they are required for long-term resilience. There is a pro-social and anti-social way (which Irys is unfortunately pursuing) of forking Arweave. Let’s take this opportunity to explore them… tl;dr: - @irys_xyz is considering forking Arweave. They intend to drop the dataset and reset the token supply. This appears to be a play motivated by greed, as users have placed their trust in Irys to upload to Arweave for them. - There is an established mechanism in the network, called protocol evolution, which allows a safe way to fork and upgrade the network. They are ignoring it. - There is a new, 100% free and 100% Irys compatible bundler available at up.arweave.net. Simply swap your Irys node URL to this one in order to use it. This conclusively solves the problem for Arweave users. - Given this situation, @ar_io_network intends to remove the Irys bundlers from the trusted set on the main Arweave gateways. This will lead to significant delays before user data is available. We will be organizing an X spaces soon. Stay tuned. Ok, now the details… 👇 Background Forks are an important part of blockchain governance. They allow communities to try out different approaches and to solve problems together. For a permanent storage network, however, forks need to be done in the right way: preserving and building on the state, not destroying it. When forks are done in this way, they allow the network to improve itself and route around problems over time, keeping the dataset safe. When forks are not done this way, they will not be able to achieve information permanence – as all of the data would be periodically dropped. In order to facilitate smooth evolution of the Arweave protocol through forks, our ecosystem has established the evolutionary protocol guidelines. You can read about them here: arweave.medium.com/arweave-i… Think of them like a social constitution for a blockchain network. Arweave protocol evolution in brief In a nutshell, the rules of the evolutionary forking system work like this: 1. Anyone can build a fork at any time. 2. That fork should carry forward the network’s dataset and token supply. 3. The fork can also mint any number of new tokens to compensate its builders. This system allows forks to compete and improve the protocol in a pro-social way: the dataset remains safe, a market for new ideas is created, and innovators are rewarded. It also allows token holders to accrue a basket of tokens across the set of forks of the network, or to actively trade them if they believe that one or another fork is preferable. It’s a win-win for everyone. So what is the Irys fork? We have been informed by reliable sources that Irys is considering forking Arweave. Despite the existence of the framework for evolving Arweave, however, they plan not to maintain the dataset and to start the token supply from scratch. When asked why, they stated that they didn’t want to have to support the existing data and ‘give tokens to a bunch of (expletives)’. We are having a hard time finding reasons for this other than greed. Vulgarities about our ecosystem aside, this approach shortsightedly hampers even their own project of permanent storage. If the dataset and token supply are consistently reset, no fork can ever succeed at the long-term mission. We are still hoping that they see the light and decide to build their fork the right way. We are always open to chat and to support their experiment if it is done in a way that helps the ecosystem. What if I use Irys and don’t want to be part of this drama? Irys may stop uploading your data to Arweave at any time. Fortunately, switching bundlers is super easy and solves the whole problem for our entire ecosystem. @fwdresearch is currently running a free (100% subsidized) Arweave bundling service, thanks to the awesome support and services of @ar_io_network. We will keep this service running for the foreseeable future as users migrate. In the long-term, both @ar_io_network and @EverVision offer fantastic hosted bundling services. Alternatively, you can always spin up your own bundler for your app. All you need to do to switch to the free Arweave bundler is swap your Irys node URL in your code to up.arweave.net. @irys_xyz is currently part of a trusted group of bundlers that are allowed to ‘optimistically’ show their content on the main gateways of the Arweave ecosystem before their content settles onchain. This system requires trust that the data will eventually be uploaded to Arweave. Trust that has now been lost. As a consequence, the optimistic cache for Irys data will be imminently disabled on the @ar_io_network maintained arweave.net and associated gateways. The effect of this is that content uploaded through Irys will experience a significant delay before the data is available to view (~20 minutes to an hour). If you are an Irys user and you would like help migrating, DM @ar_io_network and we can get you setup with 1:1 support right away. If you are curious about the rationale for Arweave’s evolutionary forking system, check out our paper about it: arweave.net/loJ6EmO_2pTA313k… Crypto: It’s never boring 😄.

Year of the dragon 🐲🐲🐉 Coincidence? I think not

shdw looks good here

That's gonna be a bit further down the road. Initially Saga phones will run as Auditor Nodes. However, after that we'll start to push more and more functionality onto the mobile layer!
