201  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / XSN Stakenet - One of the best hidden gems available, here's why.... on: May 16, 2018, 12:35:36 PM
Stakenet – XSN is looking pretty hot this year and is still massively under the radar so sit down and get comfy and I’ll tell you why you should give XSN a look.  

They have already successfully completed their coin swap and are about to announce the completion of the burn any day now. Also their Whitepaper is releasing in 4 days, there is a countdown on the website hence why things are ramping up. With those out of the way they can now begin to approach to larger exchanges. So what makes XSN special and why should you be interested, lets see:

TPoS – Trustless Proof Of Stake

XSN have already successfully launched TPoS, a world’s first. If you don’t know what TPoS is then please check it out as it is a fantastic innovation for the crypto space. Essentially you can stake your coins via a merchant while keeping your actual coins safely in your own wallet in cold storage/offline, in short Offline Staking. This is attractive for the security conscience as with normal PoS models you have to leave your wallet online and unlocked to get rewards making it an easy target for hacking. There are plenty of merchants about to haggle a great commission rate and the process itself is super easy for the end user to setup. It is essentially 3 easy steps:

1 - The merchant sends you an address which you paste into the TPoS section of the wallet.
2 - Put in the amount of XSN you want to stake and the commission you wish to pay the merchant.
3 - Hit go and that’s it, as simple as that. The merchant then confirms things on their end and the rewards start rolling in.

You can then close your wallet down and forget about it, open your wallet a week later and all those rewards you have collected will flood in, it’s brilliant. No more having to worry if your PC has shutdown or your network connect has gone down or even about your own electric costs. Letting the merchant take care of the actual staking using their specialist hardware means that network integrity is improved as well as being more eco friendly. It will be available on Ledger Nano-S, you can check on Ledgers Trello and see it on their own roadmap and also will be available on other hardware wallets for extra security options. So yes you will be able to stake via Ledger very soon. You will even be able to get your staking rewards in a different coin if you wish like BTC, ETH or others.

DEX - Decentralized Exchange

They will be launching their own DEX run directly through the Masternode Network. In order to get things ready they will be implementing Segwit Update, Lightning Update, MN Watchtowers, MN Lightning Channels, Auto Updates and much more. This will also be tied in with a Multi Currency Wallet to hold all of these coins and different chains. Eventually they are looking to implement Cold Exchanging from hardware devices too. They have really ambitious plans for the DEX so it is not cut from the same mould as current DEX’s but something different all together. The DEX should see great returns for MN holders as it they will be scooping up extra rewards from the fee’s generated by the trading volume on the DEX. It also seems like they may be looking to implement reduced fees when using XSN to pay the trading fee’s similar to BNB and Binance which should drive further demand for XSN itself.

They aren’t stopping there either but are also adding privacy features and combining new tech such as bulletproofs and zkSNARKs. They are looking at On Chain Scaling Solutions (Sharding) to raise tx throughput. Finally DAPPS will be built on the XSN blockchain.

All of this and much more is on the roadmap to be completed by end of Q4 so just over 6 months. They have hit all of their milestones so far and are on track to deliver what is promised. A great article was published by XSNs Director of Operations yesterday which I would definitely recommend having a read through to gain a glimpse of what the overall vision is for XSN and how Cross Chain solutions will be at the forefront of Blockchain tech.

https://medium.com/stakenet/xsn-2018-roadmap-ccpos-part-2-548d27958ebb

XSN has a lot going for it and looks to have a very bright future indeed but here is the kicker, it only has a $20M Marketcap. It’s ridiculously undervalued for what they are building and have built already. The reason for this is lack of marketing, the devs have been so busy building this great tech that they forgot to tell anyone about it. They are now taking steps to remedy that and have hired a marketing manager to lead a marketing team to push XSN forward on that front leaving the devs to do what they do best, code. I believe that once people start to realise what is going on with XSN it’s going to take off pretty quickly, hence why I am so bullish on it and think it’s one of the best under the radar projects for 2018 currently.

Wow great work on the OP looks great now. Good things keep coming for ADC at lightning pace, hard to keep up with the latest development. Keep up the good work, it will all pay off in the end I know it.
204  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Why ADC Audiocoin is going to x5+ shortly on: January 13, 2018, 01:38:49 PM
I didn’t say $5 I said x5 as in it going to x5 in satoshi value which means if you put $100 in then soon it will be worth $500, there  is a difference.
205  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Why ADC Audiocoin is going to x5+ shortly on: January 13, 2018, 12:25:01 PM
I want to discuss ADC and its potential. I jumped into ADC a few days ago and after doing a deep dive I wanted to share my findings and why I think it has some serious potential.

First off they have a pretty good track record with real world usage cases. Number one being the partnership deal with Bjork:

https://www.theverge.com/2017/11/6/16611822/bjork-album-utopia-cryptocurrency-audiocoin

https://www.forbes.com/sites/jessedamiani/2017/11/07/what-bjorks-cryptocurrency-paired-album-means-for-the-music-industry/#3f90555a13d8

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/bjork-bitcoin-buy-new-album-utopia-digital-cryptocurrency-iceland-music-litecoin-dash-audiocoin-a8043691.html

This deal has definitely opened the door for Audiocoin and brought it some serious attention from the music/entertainment industry. They have had some huge offers for partnership but as with these things they all come waving NDA’s so they can not name names publicly about them at this time. However what they can talk about is the fact that the ink has dried on a deal done a few days ago and I quote:

“Associated with that we are mere days away from being able to announce a partnership between ADC and one of the largest music studio and equipment sales companies in the world. This is just the beginning; we have many such discussions ongoing.”

Obviously there will be an official press release to announce who and what the partnership is in the very near future. That shows that they are very serious and it doesn’t seem to be the only partnership/deal they have on the table as I quote again:

“We are close to signing contracts with a very large household name organisation to provide blockchain services, and a sidechain coin, which will be a huge announcement when the NDA allows us to tell you all.”

And:

“Further partnerships are in the works with household names in the entertainment industry and we are in talks with multiple festivals and music events who are interested in making use of ADC for both reward and purchase paths.”

They are in talks with major players in the entertainment industry and even festival organisers so ADC could see real world use cases all over the place very soon.

As well as that they also worked with Feargal Sharkey the former Undertones singer recently with Salute Music Makers on this:

http://www.audiocoin.eu/?p=65470

Again giving ADC another real world use case already.

They just stuck up a new roadmap which you can see here:
http://www.audiocoin.eu/?p=65527

They are going to be giving their website and ANN thread a refresh in the very near future and as well as a full rebrand/relaunch by the sounds of things a little bit further down the line. They started a new sub Reddit a few days ago so are putting all that together to help with ADC’s visibility.

If you join their discord channel members of the dev team are always around to answer your questions and are extremely helpful.

Aurovine integration is also another real world use case for ADC and it is expected to be back up and running with the latest version hopefully next week:

“At the time of writing this update Aurovine is very close to coming back online with a new integration into ADC, future proofing it for all the development that we have in line for ADC as a currency. When this process is complete Aurovine will finally be back as a primary usecase for ADC.”

https://www.aurovine.com/

So why do I think ADC is a good investment?

Well it’s obvious to anyone at this point that ADC has already got some tried and tested real world use cases and has many more on the horizon which is a great thing for investors.

From my perspective as an investor at the time of writing it’s marketcap is only $30M which is laughably small in the crypto space so in my eyes could easily shoot to $150M which is a x5 in the short term. In the longer term as these deals and partnerships roll out it could go much higher. This brings me onto the tech side of things as they are moving to be a side chain of Blockpool which is a fork of ARK. This gives the actual tech powering ADC a very solid foundation and also means that staking/pooling will be available which is great for  investors giving them a steady ROI on their holdings.

A quick check on Twitter and you can see it is already gaining some attention in Japan which with my being crypto and music crazy could see a huge surge in momentum continues.

With all of that I don’t see how ADC can fail at this point and getting in on what is essentially the ground level before this very possible explosion of interest seems like a very safe bet for me and I’m not the only one:

https://cryptovest.com/news/cv-market-watch-audiocoin-comes-into-the-spotlight/

As others are also realising the potential returns in ADC as it continues to roll out updates and form new partnerships with industry leaders.

207  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [NEW XBY ANN] XTRABYTES - BECAUSE THE BLOCKCHAIN CAN BE BETTER on: December 24, 2017, 02:53:00 AM
Well probably because it was massively undervalued and people just clicked on to that. You have projects like IOTA, NEO, EOS all kind of doing something similar with $Billion MCaps and then you have XBY that even now with this huge rally is only $100 Million.

XBY is offering things that even those big projects aren't. Having core modules built directly into the platform like it's own DEX, encrypted instant messenger, decentralized data storage, smart contacts, etc. All of which will be available across multiple devices including iOS and Android. Oh also they are code agnostic so 3rd party devs can create Dapps in any programming language to make it easy for devs to create their own modules on the platform. Cryptokitties on mobile anyone? There is a lot to get excited about with XBY on that alone.

They are about to launch the last public testnet after two already successful ones, this one will feature the first two core modules XCHANGE and XCHAT so everyone will be able to try the tech out for themselves. If the test is successful then do you think it will stay at $100M mcap for long, would wouldn't it reach the heights of the big dogs with actual proven tech.

Also once the testnet is complete STATIC node registrations will begin for all levels of nodes and they will go online immediately as they are registered so owners will begin receiving there payouts. With the nodes going online a large chunk of circulating supply will be locked away in nodes reducing the active supply by a lot too.

So hopefully that answers your question on why it has x15, basically because it was massively undervalued to begin with and once the testnet lands and tech is proven it will be massively undervalued again.

My main worry is-how much of this is potential/promises versus reality/functioning prototypes?

Well all you have to do is wait for the testnet, take part and you can find out for yourself like everyone else will. Your only actual worry is you want more certainty right now on if everything thats has been stated is true. Fact is though if everyone had that 100% certainty that everything was going to work 100% then XBY wouldn't be at $100M Cap it would be at $1B instead like IOTA, EOS and everyone else. Though largely they are exactly the same in that many of these huge Mcap projects don't have a fully operational product yet, at least you don't have to wait very long with XBY to find out.

Wait for the testnet, take part and then you can make an informed decision like everyone else sitting on the fence.
208  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which ALT-COIN will hit big in 2018? on: December 24, 2017, 01:09:05 AM
XBY will go big in 2018 for sure. Even after this recent surge it is still only $100M Mcap going against projects like ETH, IOTA, EOS and NEO which are in the $billions and they are offering tech that even those projects can't compete with.

Final public testnet is iminent after already having two previous successful public testnets. If this one is a success then its going to take off fast as tech will be proven. In this testnet users will be able to test the core platform and the first two core modules XCHANGE (DEX) and XCHAT on the new XCITE client/wallet which will be the new core of XBY going forward. XCITE runs on desktop and mobile devices and in the testnet people will be able to try both so that is huge.

Going to be the first Gen 3 blockchain on the market too.

This is a great update. THANK YOU!

XBY team has been rocking it lately. Well done guys. I am sure you put in a lot more work than we realise.

Haha there is always more to do and more to show that is for sure :-)
211  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [NEW XBY ANN] XTRABYTES - BECAUSE THE BLOCKCHAIN CAN BE BETTER on: December 21, 2017, 09:12:17 PM
So happy to get this update out today, can finally talk about mobile in public lol
212  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: The future of XtraBytes/XBY ? on: December 07, 2017, 01:12:57 PM
I've studied this project and it seemed pretty interesting to me. But now the project is almost stopped. Unfortunately I do not have the confidence that the founders will have developed and released it any time in the future.

You couldn't be further from the truth mate.

We have recently concluded 2 public testnets and are just about to launch the next one which will feature our first module running X-CHANGE (DEX) and our new XCITE client.

XCITE will integrate all of XBY's core into one location so you will have both XBY and XFUEL wallets, DEX, modules, chat and much more from a single client. We are also currently building this to run on multiple devices including iOS and Android.

Once this testnet is complete we will be ready to open SATIC Node registrations for all 3 levels of nodes. We are aiming to have this all wrapped up by the end of this month so we can start 2018 very strong and begin to get 3rd party Dapps on the platform.

But yeah the project has stopped lol  Wink

XBL is now on World Coin Index: https://www.worldcoinindex.com/coin/billionairetoken
214  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Billionaire Token looking real good on: November 20, 2017, 02:35:58 PM
For more detailed information, I need to investigate . A preliminary impression is that it's not as bad .

Added their Telegram channel link to OP which you should consider joining if want to do some research on the project also can ask for a slack invite there too. Their other channels and ANN thread can be found on their website.

The dev team have some big plans for XBL for the future it isn't just limited to what they have right now, this is just to deliver the roadmap they promised at ICO and to get established. They are already looking at moving to EOS as soon as it's available as ETH is too slow for their future needs but join their Telegram and Slack and you can ask them directly what they are planning.

Always do your own research but I feel really good about this project so I would recommend it to anyone, definitely look into it and see what you think.
215  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Billionaire Token looking real good on: November 20, 2017, 10:16:15 AM
Billionaire Token (XBL) has just launched their new website and it looks great.

https://billionairetoken.com/

They seem to have a lot going for them right now with first real use product going online in the next few days, this will also start the burning of token and reducing the total supply which is very unique, Coinexchange listing is confirmed and due any day now too.

They seem to be doing great work and when you compare them to something like Edgeless it seems massively undervalued. EDG has a $60 million Mcap compared to XBL's $800k and yet they have achieved more in 2 months than what EDG has in 9 months with that huge budget. They seem to be very determined to beat them to market with Poker which would be a big upset if they can.

Project seems very under the radar right now but if they start gaining some traction I can see this going high very fast, a x10 would only need an Mcap of $8 million and I can see them hitting that very soon if they can push out the marketing to make people aware of it.

Telegram link for those interested the dev is very active on it and can also ask for a Slack invite there too:

A little bug flagged up at the end of that test that has been dealt with and a new test has started to see if it has fixed the issue.
217  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [NEW XBY ANN] XTRABYTES - BECAUSE THE BLOCKCHAIN CAN BE BETTER on: November 19, 2017, 01:18:45 PM
Testnet is currently active with the new XCITE client. You can join in and track it's progress on this thread:

https://community.xtrabytes.global/threads/100-block-self-destruct-test.165/

It is currently on Block 85/100 the test will end at Block 100, however keep an eye on the testnet section to keep up to date on the progress of the overall testnet and join in if you wish.

Plenty more tests to come very soon, we are starting small and slowly scaling up and adding new things constantly.
218  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [NEW XBY ANN] XTRABYTES - BECAUSE THE BLOCKCHAIN CAN BE BETTER on: November 11, 2017, 04:26:24 PM
I'm pretty sure that once things start rolling out for XBY the transaction fee will be set as a % like 0.5% or something, it won't be what it currently is forever lol
219  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [NEW XBY ANN] XTRABYTES - BECAUSE THE BLOCKCHAIN CAN BE BETTER on: November 11, 2017, 04:15:58 PM
Please answer me this:

How much does it cost to move $10,000 worth of BTC?

How much does it cost to move $10,000 worth of XBY?

It costs $0.70 for XBY and will be completed very quickly, whats the answer for BTC and how long does it take?
220  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [NEW XBY ANN] XTRABYTES - BECAUSE THE BLOCKCHAIN CAN BE BETTER on: November 11, 2017, 04:05:36 PM
People seriously complaining about a $0.70 transaction charge when moving XBY from an exchange to a wallet when it is done extremely quickly and securely for ANY amount of XBY?

How much would BTC charge to move $10,000 worth of BTC and how long would it take?

I don't think this guy understands how transaction fees work with XBY, I think he thinks the charge is 50XBY per 1XBY moved so if you moved 1000XBY you would pay 50000XBY in fees lol

The fees will be reduced in time once there is enough stuff ready to do one big wallet update as mentioned previously last time their was a wallet update Yobit took months to update it locking everyones XBY on their exchange.
