Basicly he just excuses himself on the previous page. He wrote something like " i just received anon transaction, sorry for misleading".

Hehe. Two options;

1. Xc dev shared his "cutting" edge code with competitor (which you say they wouldnt)
2. Battbot / cinni spread lies.

EDIT: why delete your previous post?

Can anyone answer this question;

Why would a programmer share his "cutting edge" work with his "competitor" before its even released?

No you cannot send coins anonymously. This functionality was completely removed from the current release.
The mixer was not working properly and apparently the dev was not able to fix it till now.

Actually most people are wanting to look at the source to evaluate whether or not this is worth investing in.

There have been many scams in altcoins.  So auditing code, is pretty essential, imo. 

The fundamentals of distributed cryptocurrency, and trustless actors (including the original devs), is dependent on open source.  Otherwise you are basically left with a centralized coin, where you need to trust the dev.

Ultimately, nothing wrong with that.. but it is what it is.

Yes, doge is a worthless coin that will only go down and down and down to LTC market.

Brilliant logo!!!!!!!!!  I like the idea of some metallic to it, give it that coin bling but not overdone

So a couple of things.. #1 - that twitter account is fake, my account is the matrix_guru one... also web site was take down as soon as my identity was revealed for reasons I cannot discuss.


#2 - YES that is me in the article above, back in 1998 I designed and deployed a large wireless ISP.  By 2003 it had expanded to cover a large part of eastern Massachusetts.  As it grew more features were added, like VoIP, QOS, and VLAN support.  However market conditions changed with lower cost solutions available from the competition(Verizon deployed DSL in my community due to the threat)... The product was then upgraded to support a marine environment, which was deployed in Cape Cod.   This network still runs to do this day, serving 11 Ferries and 50k to 150k (depends on season) per day.

You are correct, but people put faith in currencies like BTC because they are established, well known and more importantly have been around for a long time. Had the developer been working on the coin longer than 3 weeks this would have reasurred me and many others that thing is legit. There's no indication of it though in the repository, though. I'd like to be proven wrong.

What I am worried is that as of today the coin is realistically speaking no different than the other PoS coins we've had in the recent months. Yes, planned functionality sets it apart, but it's just planned functionality without a concrete backing.

- How long has the coin been in development?

Is the start of the bitcointalk any indication of it's age? That would be very young, unless there's been ongoing development in the past. But there are no such hints in the github repository.

- When if is going to be code responsible for anonymising transaction released?

Currently the repository contains no traces of any code responsible for such features.

I've heard vague claims that the XNodes features are ought to be implemented in 3 weeks of time. That's a bold claim considering there's not even a binary release of a wallet containing such functionality.

There's not even an ongoing or planned testing phase announced by the developer or community. That's pretty crucial because lots of money is at stake. Do people really want to risk their assets in the near future? What if the implementation does not reach expectations? What if the implementation is flawed or exploitable? What if the implementation is not working? What happens when it's realesed (as claimed in 3 weeks) into the wild, to a 10$ million market. There's a reason why the likes of Zerocoin take months and are still not ready. 3 weeks is not even enough to write a moderately complex iPhone app.
Who is appointed to test and audit the code? Who is appointed to verify it?


 

Xhow xabout xstop xsuggesting xstupid xnames? Dev has said already he likes XC.

In my opinion it's missing color and I don't the the text is needed

I can see on the block chain an issue with nodes on a lower height, I will be releasing an updated wallet with checkpoints to resolve this issue

but please use the follow when running  - this force you to sync on the primary chain

x11coin-qt.exe -addnode=162.243.109.24 -connect=162.243.109.24

Actually, clearly you're the one who doesn't get it.

This coin is in development, sophisticated conversations are going to occur. Thats just how it works.


I get your point, you want a coin thats accessible -- we all do, especially if we want NEM to be a success, it has to be foolproof, far moreso than NXT, and even moreso than Bitcoin.

Right now though, development is still in progress, so expect some over the head discussions to occur; its certainly over mine on many occasions, even though i consider myself a very tech-savvy individual.


Anywhoo, on the subject of accessibility, i thought of something today:

Using my banks online banking feature, i noticed there's alot of features that crypto's could benefit from. Is there any crypto client out there which allows users to set up regular payment arrangements? (Think of Direct Debits, a fixed sum over a set period)

I really don't recall any crypto having any such sophisticated features in their client, perhaps this is something NEM could do? Just an idea. I'd seriously suggest that if anyone does any online banking with their FIAT, perhaps browse said sites to get any further inspiration to go towards NEM - it's worth throwing the idea's out at least.



I would sincerely hope so. This is by far probably Crypto's biggest appeal; Darkcoins success speaks volumes for this.
