Dear Shadow Community:



Today we are happy to officially welcome the newest member of the Shadow Team - Soepkip. As the previous community manager for BlackCoin, he has proven himself to be a trusted member within the crypto-currency community.



Soepkip brings over six months of crypto management experience to the Shadow Project from one of the leading currencies; In addition, this includes business and personal relationships. Soepkip’s role at Shadow will mirror his previous role with BlackCoin, namely the Community Manager:



• Building and maintaining meaningful relationships

• Increasing collaboration within the community

• Creating innovation by understanding the needs of holders



We are happy having him on board and we'll see much more of him in the upcoming weeks.



A statement from our new Community Manager:



"After BC, I was looking for a new project. My strengths lie within building up a new community by creating and managing a team of like-minded people. Shadow seemed like the next logical choice after working with BlackCoin.



What really drew me to the Shadow Project was their commitment to advanced cryptography. Their zk-SNARKs implementation will bring real anonymity within the realm of crypto currencies. Not only that, the encrypted messaging service 'ShadowChat' makes private P2P communication a reality. I have no doubt that these foundations will shape the future of crypto-currencies, especially in countries with overbearing surveillance programs.



In the past week, I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Shadow’s core team and we've spoken daily about the goals within Shadow. Now, let’s focus on building the Shadow community around the future of financial privacy and personal liberty.” - Soepkip
