So to get free coins I have to provide full personal details and connect with Facebook (which I don't use) and give them my phone details.

Piss off! 

Anyone know why there was a price increase on btc38 today? Almost 20% gain on DGC 

I don't have any real problems with Bitcoin.

However, I do find not enough retailers accept bitcoin yet. I have suggested using Bitpay to several large retailers, but for some reason they are not interested. Given that they can get paid in fiat anyway when using Bitpay this puzzles me.

Both the main website and official XAI / XQN forums are now not loading. 

I have already designed a system and written proof of concept tests to add user level private key security to coinwallet.co. So users will own their keys. Slightly different approach. But basically the same result as blockchain.info type system.

Busy with non-crypto stuff at the moment, but when I get some time...

Until then coinwallet.co is not going anywhere.

Having said that I do not suggest storing anything more than a small amount on coinwallet.co, nothing better than your own encrypted wallet on your own device.

And whats with the recent UNO price drop, is everyone waiting for the next BTC rally? 

My thoughts precisely.

With so many devs bailing on coins these days it is good to see SYS is still going strong!!

Keep up the good work guys! Altcoins and crypto in general need teams like you 

Nice work!! Great to see they are healthy and doing well!

@danonthehill

I am beginning to think you might be right.

I was getting sick and tired of scams in alt coins and this is just about the last straw.

If that were true I would fully agree with you and share your sentiments.

However I do not think Joe has abandoned XAI (or XQN for that matter).

Joe has informed me recently he is going through somewhat of a personal crisis at the moment, but has assured me that nothing has been abandoned.

I for one am going to give him the benefit of the doubt.

You can call me an idiot in 6 months time if Joe is not back on board with updates before then  .

But I think you will need an invite from Joe. PM me your email address and I will pass it on to Joe via Skype, or you could try sending him a PM here.

Good question.

Jovial reading as always on BCT..

Nice to see a moderated Carboncoin thread finally. 

Got to agree with you. This was a scam.

This is becoming all to familiar around here.  

@BitcoinNational I run this service. As far as I am aware we are in good standing .

We have been running since Nov. 2013.

We are seeing thousands of incoming (mostly small) transactions every day. As such incoming deposits are a bit slow at the moment. We plan to fix this issue soon.

Withdrawals are almost instant.

Recently we added POS pool functionality which is working well.

Let me know if you have any specific questions.

try the nodes here: http://www.blocktree.io/peers/UNO/

Agreed.

Several people I introduced to alt cryptos got burned and will likely never be back.

Same wallet on two different computers is not a good idea. Wallet conflicts can occur easily.

Think about this simplified scenario:

You have 4 different public addresses, each of which received 1000 MEC

You then send a transaction from one wallet / computer of 2000 MEC. Only the wallet you send from knows which inputs you used (not technically true, but for the way bitcoin related wallets currently work it is true).

You then go to the other wallet / computer and send 2000 MEC but this wallet uses one or both of the same inputs as the outgoing transaction from the other wallet. It will give you a transaction id as that is created client side.

However this second transaction will never be accepted or confirmed on the block chain as the inputs have already been used / spent (double spend).

It can be complicated to recover from this scenario as your wallet/s think the coins have been spent. Sometimes you will need to dump the private keys and re-import into a new wallet which will then do a totally new scan on the block chain to restore your wallet to its 'real' balance.

Thanks for the update Joe.
