Oh WAIT so XC is doing what ethereum is TRYING to do - and without the IPO. Oh, and XC already has the product to show for it.
Feel bad if you bought Ether IPO.
No. XC is not trying to do what Ethereum is trying to do. And Ethereum has already delivered a development language, dev tools, browser, and touring blockchain all pre-launch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVupNB_uFwkI'm happy you guys are proving blockchain advertising or whatever. But it's not the same as a touring complete blockchain that Eth's trying to build. Why does everybody in crypto turn into chearleaders with pom poms and have no clue what's going on? *Grunt* And no. Before I get accused of shilldom - I don't own any Ethers. Blockchain advertising is just the FIRST app to utilize the XC architecture... XC will allow distributed bloc chain based apps.. same shit as ether man. The difference is.. ETHER still does not exist XC does unprecedented possibilities lie in XC! I think that XC is doing what Ethereum is planning to do, in the general sense of utilising the blockchain for web 3.0, smart contract, etc. However: - XC has launched already. - XC has realised the importance of privacy and has incorporated this into its core architecture. As far as I know this is not a core focus in Ethereum. - XC does not plan a Turing-complete scripting language; instead, there will be other ways (which I won't disclose now) for third parties to harness XC's platform. |

Can someone please explain to a noob why this is a big deal? Thanks
This means web content that is distributed over the blockchain rather than being held on a server. The blockchain will effectively be the server for content, and everyone running the blockchain - i.e. the x-nodes - will benefit. Correct me if I'm wrong but the implications seem f***ing huge. This is like the nextgen Tor + BT.... Once you launch the content on there, there is no stopping it. Just one small question to Synechist, will all content supplied to blockchain be released or is there any pre-filtering? I don't want to see any unlawful content in there or we catch some bad fame. Great news  Good question. Our initial technology will allow advertisers and other clients to buy XC's services via a webpage or API, and so there will be ways and means to filter content. |

Arlyn is the grand master of tease. Now everybody go buy on the rumor! (Don't forget to sell on the news)  That is exactly what will happen and you know it. Wait for the 10+ BTC dump when the news is released like always. Quit being so pessimistic, buys vs sells depends on the quality of the news! Im going on the limb here and saying "BULLSHIT". Every time there is an advancement, withen minutes there is a huge dump. In fact you can almost spot it in the market history to confirm this. If quality was the driver, we would not be sitting here talking about price because we would have been over 500K easy. No-one's dumped on our news for ages. There's no saying whether it'll happen again, but it hasn't happened since early July. |

+100 on this.
One person keep making non-factual statements against a community is trolling. But an entire community speak out against one person is a public outrage.
This “silverkinguk” guy’s disrespectfulness and authoritative tone has clearly caused an outrage here. XC team member shouldn’t allow to speak to our community this way.
But those are just sentimental issues, let’s focus on the real issues here, the “collaboration”.
I encourage our community to go over the Qibuck thread and learn more about them. You can see that Qibuck is a much inferior coin and this “collaboration” does not make any sense. This “silverkinguk” guy and that qiwomen are the co-founder of Qibuck. It seems that he is much more invested in the Qibuck project than he is with the XC community. Is he doing what’s best for XC or is he doing what’s best for him and Qibuck? There is clearly a conflict of interest here.
It does appear to me that this guy is using his title of “XC foundation member” to promote his own coin. What has he really done for the XC community anyway? Does he really deserve to be on the XC team?
I think we should have a voting system in case like this. For every 1000xc you hold, you will have 1 vote. We as a community, should be able to vote on whether or not we want a “collaboration” with his coin, and whether or not we want this person to be on the team. NO one person should have the power to just come in here and tell everybody to shut up and listen to him.
I promise you that this collaboration will be hugely to XC's benefit. The details of it will be announced tomorrow. Personally I'm not of the opinion that silverkinguk conducted himself ethically. However this isn't to assert that the people who attacked qiwoman last night and who repeatedly criticised the collaboration acted ethically either. It was a shameful mess all round. It has also been made known to me that some people associated with XC have been fudding other coins, and this is completely awful. We loathe FUD wherever it may be found and XC does not support it or associate itself with it in any way. If anyone here has fudded any other coin (including QiBuck), I ask you please to publicly apologise (both here and on its thread) and to publicly state that your actions have nothing whatsoever to do with XC. XC has slowly but surely won back credibility after the FUD launched at it by a competitor did it so much damage. Why make a mockery of what XC has fought hard to put behind it? |

Arlyn, big complement from me. Took till today to realize how thin the balance is between a positive community reaction and a complete disaster is.
Still feel anger about silverkinguk words, will sleep the rest off.
hope from now own you take the lead in ALL external communication. Had my mouse pointer hovering a full sell order to many times today.
Btw, in base this collaboration sounds great but I will stay offline fron now on for as long as I can control myself
Thank you Kimmy. Much appreciated. What's happened is a regretful turn of events but I'm confident that the underlying development will considerably improve XC's fundamentals. |

Spot on. :-)
The only modification I'd make to your comment is that I think it makes sense for, say, nodes routing internet traffic to earn based on their quality of service, rather than on their wallet balance. This will ensure a high performance network that serves content effectively.
Large balances already earn interest through POS; we'd want to incentivise good network performance.
As I understand things, large balances stake at exactly the same rate as small balances, so to provide an additional incentive to hold a larger balance, the reward will need to increase dynamically with the size of the balance. It's a good tactic. rewarding nodes for quality of service is a great idea, I'm curious how you would measure the node's performance and quantify it ? Probably with a speed transfert indicator? First node to serve content gets the payment. |

Hi all
I'd like to confirm the news just posted here.
The XC and Qibuck devs are partnering to develop a feature that'll allow nodes to earn money.
A few details:
- We will make an official announcement about this on Friday.
- It's a particularly exciting feature that I'm not sure anyone else has thought of yet.
- The reason for the partnership is that by sharing resources we reduce both development time and costs
why no one's excited for this new development is beyond me. they're working on the tech to have every wallet be able to earn fees from routing private transactions on the network. and it makes sense to collaborate with Qibuck since they already have a passive income tech with their wallets. XC will collaborate and help get this tech on their nodes/wallets sooner than later. awesome! I agree completely. I'll also add that this collaboration will result in another revenue source for nodes, unrelated to private transactions. It look very interesting, i know XC will devellop Web 3.0 in the futur and i guess internet traffic going through nodes will generate profits. I expect severals features will generate fees using nodes as anonymous vehicule (Xchat,vocal chat, data transfert, decentralized exchange...). It would be very interesting to discuss how income from nodes could be distributed and what it imply for the economic model. I would like to see a progressive sliced income model. For exemple somebody who hold 10kxc in wallet would earn more fees than someone holding 500 xc. the ration of fees won would not be x20 in this case but something we could determine as fair. It would give a winning fees advantage for first investors (and holder), motivate investors to buy more and more XC in orders to win more fees generated by futur XC features. This kind of rewards model keep investors holding XC, dry out XC supply,as results price go up progressively attracting more and more investors and users. I think fees should be cheap and not linked to XC price evolution, because if XC price grow too much the cost for using XC technology would be too high wich imply less users/adoption and finally less fees generated. So fees would be paid with XC and the amount would vary from last average x days/hours XC price value. So many good things are coming Spot on. :-) The only modification I'd make to your comment is that I think it makes sense for, say, nodes routing internet traffic to earn based on their quality of service, rather than on their wallet balance. This will ensure a high performance network that serves content effectively. Large balances already earn interest through POS; we'd want to incentivise good network performance. |

Collaboration = QBK paying to plaster "XC COLLAB" everywhere and hiring XC devs
No, XC will benefit hugely from this. Just wait until we release the details. :-) |

Have the team begun drafting a new wallet layout with all these exciting features?
If there was one feature each community member would like to have added what would it be?
- For me it would be scalable anonymity.
Total anon
List of addresses can see addresses of mine that I specify and maybe even holdings.
List of addresses can read my chats like tweets or fb wall.
Shared account that I can setup pre approved with eg. My partner so that we have equal access to spend from it.
Same level of anon as bitcoin
Less anon than bitcoin with addresses shown as nicknames.
About the tweets or fb wall rather than only having my client publish it all of my identified friends could forward publish it if we share the intended receivers.
Just random hopefully constructive ideas to move the thread forward.
Thanks for this. Yeah there's been some discussion about this sort of stuff. Ultimately the "anonymity" built into Bitcoin is too high for some use-cases, not high enough for others, and private in the wrong ways for yet others. XC addresses this with its flexible approach to privacy. The core technology will be able to fit a wide variety of use-cases; upon this core we can build all sorts of features, discrete apps, APIs, etc. That's our approach to the scenarios you outline. |

please do not let people like this take advantage of you and our community.
He is not here to help us. And he is willing to hurt our community for his personal gains.
You're making unjustified assumptions here. |

Lastly, grow up and start treating women with a bit of respect. It didn't help anyone/thing to start being typical male pigs when a women showed up in our thread.
+1. |

Who got the idea that any sort of merge (with Cache or with QiBucks) was going to happen?
This could not be further from the truth. What the hell?
It's a development partnership, not a merge. A development partnership is where you pool resources to achieve a mutually beneficial goal.
The benefits do not need to be symmetrical.
The benefits will not create competition for XC.
I think a fair number of people in this thread need to understand the value of collaboration. Crypto is in fact a community, albeit a contentious one, and community is strongly relational. Broadly speaking there are two ways to be relational: to contend or to collaborate. Behind the scenes there are some devs collaborating. Out here there are a bunch of people bickering.
Can you stop and think about how this stuff actually works?

I do not think it's appropriate to conclude that there's a conflict of interest based on news of a collaboration. That makes no rational sense imo. - For starters, XC would not enter into a collaboration unless it was good for XC. - Secondly, Samuel would not want to jeopardise either one of the coins he's affiliated with, because it would affect him negatively. |

To be blunt, you guys need to get your shit together and make sure such "leaks" dont happen in the future. You are sitting the tone to more or less let anyone come in here and say something that is "Official working with blah blah blah XC team".... and this could in fact be something negative, which would cause the coin to turn upside down faster than you can wipe your backside.
Please understand what I am saying here... this is not the precedence you want to set.
I agree. Qiwoman2 and silverkinguk have not worked with the team before regarding an announcement. Thus there was no precedent and they just went ahead with things. This does not, however, set a precedent for the future. You can expect things to happen as they've happened in the past. Remember, also, that Samuel is an XC team member. It wasn't "just anyone" who made the announcement. |

- Silverkinguk (Samuel) is part of the XC team and so if he announces something it can be trusted.
- This is not the undisclosed PR-related development that I mentioned yesterday.
P.S. I've been aware of this development, but was not aware that it would be announced now. My apologies for the confusion.

I am still in struggle to get more connections on XC wallet ( latest version, WIN 8.1.)
(Never seen more then 8 )
Anyone knows which ports must be open on the router, to have it all working at its best?
I have the same Problem (OS: Win 7 Pro). Only 8 connections,... minting since 3 Day´s weight ~20.000, Expected time to earn 1 hour,.... (not mint everything,...and never get more Connection as 8 ) I often have a similar number of connections, but everything works just fine - and that's what matters, right? Does your app work fine? |
