ShadowCash
Nobody has a ShadowCash network like no one has the technology behind email. ShadowCash is controlled by its users all over the world. While software developers are improving this platform, they can not change the shadowCash protocol as all users have the freedom to choose which programs and version they use. In order to stay compatible with each other, all users need to use a program to comply with the same rules. ShadowCash only works correctly with full consensus among all users. Therefore, all users and developers pose a strong incentive to protect this consensus.

One of the most powerful new features being explored in Elements is Confidential Transactions. This keeps the amounts transferred visible only to participants in the transaction (and those they designate), while still guaranteeing that no more coins can be spent than are available in a cryptographic way.
This goes a step beyond the usual privacy offered by Bitcoin’s blockchain, which relies purely on pseudonymous (but public!) identities. This matters, because insufficient financial privacy can have serious security and privacy implications for both commercial and personal transactions. Without adequate protection, thieves and scammers can focus their efforts on known high-value targets, competitors can learn business details, and negotiating positions can be undermined.
