Well for starters the details are encrypted to protect identifiable information and no we are not using ring sig's at this time, that is for the next release. 

and he doesn't know what he is doing lol

This release is pure mixer technology v1.0 - it uses existing supernode concepts, with encrypted data packets... v2.0 will use [removed] and run on top of tor and be 100% anonymous

You can't even construct a proper sentence, why would a highly skilled developer even listen to you? What a waste of space, even if your post only takes up several kilobytes it's not worth it.

I'd still like to see a whitepaper please, with proper citations. All legitimate anonymous coins have published whitepaper so far. Otherwise it may be considered a scam even though I like the fact that you real identity is known. It is not like shitcoindev etc just serial cloning existing technology.

Have you released other X11 coins before under any other names? Most x11 cloners at least provide links to Darkcoin and cite Evan. He has a real identity too, at least show some courtesy.

This is pointless.  Cinni has a higher PoS of 3.5% and they have only minted 12,965 PoS coins in the last 6 weeks (since creation).  So, we are going to rush to staking so we can reduce the supply by around 100,000 coins max at the end of 2 months PoW (rough estimate)?  That won't solve any of the distribution issues.

I have yet to hear one solid argument or reasoning from the camp that proposes nothing be changed to XC's code.  All I hear from this camp are personal insults -- how can they be taken seriously then?  I for one do not take anything they have to say seriously.

Besides insults, they make the argument that "This is the dev's original plan" -- Are you serious?  This is an argument?  Businesses in the real world adapt to meet the demands of competitive markets all the time.  If a potential superior business plan is proposed by one of the team, it would only be ignorance and poor management to not give it serious consideration.  And good businesses listen to the ideas and innovations of their employees.  All of this is the same for any alt coin. 

Other than this, they make the argument that "The coin will be successful no matter what" -- The argument was never that XC would NOT be successful.  I have repeatedly stated that they will be successful if they deliver anon tech. The argument however, is that XC's success and longevity will be optimized if they change the mining phase to either reduce total supply (by reducing PoW mining phase/rewards) or if they extend PoW mining for years (by greatly reducing block rewards).

Again:  The main problem with XC is that 75% of the total coin supply will be minted in a 2 month period AFTER it's biggest selling point has already been delivered.  This is what I am proposing needs to be addressed by either of the options above.

Either the 75% supply # needs to be reduced with a shorter PoW phase, or it can stay the same but have a PoW phase that is extended to years with reduce block rewards.  One of these should happen if you want to protect and ensure the highest chance of longevity for this coin.

Ya -- I really cannot stress enough how necessary it is to reduce total supply and PoW phase.  Can't sleep because my mind is all worked up about this.  I want what is best for the longevity of this coin.  Just think about it:

If things remain unchanged -- what group will be holding the majority control on the price once anon features go live?  Will it be the miners (selling the price down) or investors  (buying the price up)?  It will be 100% be the miners holding majority control --> because 75% of all coins will be minted in 2 months (this is way too many coins way too soon) especially considering that XC's biggest selling point was already delivered two months ago (by that point in time).

Again, this would be somewhat of a different story if anon features released near or at the end of PoW phase (because the expectation would help sustain buyer confidence).  But it is not.  Anon feature is the "hot thing" right now, and the hype around it will only be suppressed as 25 million more XC flood the market in two months.  People buy on news and sell on fact.  Once anon feature (the news) is released, XC will have an extremely hard time increasing in value in light of 25m (75%) of the supply being minted and thrown into the market.  Two months of sell offs is a long time and will assuredly decrease buyer confidence.  

Not to mention, 2 months down the road, there will surely be another coin to be 100% PoS with anon features before we reach our 100% PoS stage.  It is crucial that XC becomes 100% PoS with anon feature before any other coin.

XC needs to reduce both total supply and PoW phase to help ensure healthy / constant buy pressure.  DRK reduced their block reward (and probably would have done more, had they been PoS), because they knew this move was necessary as they drew nearer to implementing darksend.  DRK team is really genius when it comes to creating market demand (for this reason and their requiring of 10,000 DRK taken off the market for each masternode).

This is exactly correct as veritasBS said:

Let me walk you through what will happen if the coin specs stay how they are currently:
1) There will be a big run in price when this PoS coin is the first to release the wallet.
2) We will get to a market cap of say 10 million.
3) There will be a fast decline in price but because this IS a coin with a quality dev and features, it will level off to some where around 6 million market cap.
4) Then 25 million more coins will come flooding in to the market over next 100 days. The price per coin will start a slow decline to 1/5 of where it was when it settled after the run.
5)The investors will only take so much loss and jump ship somewhere in the decline.
6) By the time PoW ends, you have many coins on the market with the EXACT same features so you no longer have an advantage.

The opportunity is NOW to make this a lasting coin. Use the advantage the dev has built to  make this the premier anon coin...anything else is poor management.


My Proposal:
10m coins (or less) and let PoW continue for another 1-2 weeks (1 is best) max with reduced block rewards.  

This will help allow for market cap growth, will help ensure XC is the first 100% PoS coin with anon tech, and will give time for an XC multipool to be set up and launched immediately when PoW ends.

Either this, or extend the PoW mining period years into the future with greatly reduced block rewards.  I think this is better than changing nothing (I still think that the first 100% PoS anon featured coin is this coins biggest selling point).  But if it remains the same --> yes, this coin will still be successful (if anon releases), but all I see is unnecessary value suppression for the future of this coin.

Developers hard work, AV is the next BC, beyond BC

congrads on the 250k lucky man, i hope we can come to a agreement, i just want to get on with everyone to be honest, i think reducing the block rewards is the way to go, miners can keep mining, and investors will see a nice stable investment, win win and it won't require a hard fork, drk did simaler and they are doing fine, it will hurt us more to not do it, but anyway, congrads on the 250k that's a great amount to hold, hope you get rich.

but the mining period is over in 100 days, were in that 100days 17 million + coins will hit the market and we are trying to get the mining extended to something like drk or btc were it's mined over years to help keep a stable price.

he was being sarcastic and indicating we are all money hungry selfish low life's, just because we don't want 17million+ coins to saturate the market in the next 3 months, i think it would be a great idea to lower block rewards to extend mining for years to come like DRK or btc, but apparently that makes me greedy..
