Is the feature announced today in the XC daily update the undisclosed REV2 privacy feature? Or are we still waiting on that?
Yup :-) (Not that there won't be more privacy features to come...) Finally!!!  You can expect the OP to be updated soon to reflect this. Hint: it was updated earlier today... check out the new items. ;-) |

***The XC Daily Update***
Soon XC will add a new layer of privacy based on your XChat address.
XChat addresses are soon to be implemented as "stealth addresses" to which people can send payments.
This means that you'll receive payment on a different address that not even the sender knows.
As such, you can publicly display your XChat address as a kind of cryptographic "business card" for both payments and messages, without anything being linked to it on the blockchain!
This means newly generated addresses on receiver side? Makes sense. Good improvement. Exactly. |

Woohoo! I'm receiving tons of messages. I'll respond to each of them so you know your entry has been acknowledged.
If you don't get a response, you can resend.
But it's too crazy now. I will respond in four hours' time or sooner.

Finally, combining this with Privacy Mode will conceal the amounts sent to this address.
Here's to the future!

***Win an XC TOR Stick signed by Dan Metcalf!***
Here's your chance to win the industry-leading privacy tool signed by its incredible developer! 
How to win:When the XC Bitcointalk thread reaches page 1000, do the following: 1) Use XChat to send a message to: Address: XDzTA6xMsx1FJkitgKaj3S9mMvPQEzN4w9 Public key: eRyb6fBBZxfkVp1kLcgc81WQuZw8pgpPwkVfKNhJBHBC (If you don't have XChat yet, download it here.) 2) Post the address you sent the message from onto the Official XC Forum here. 3) Put your XChat address and public key into your Bitcointalk signature.
Since XChat is not yet released for Mac and Linux, users can alternatively send a micropayment to the address above, and then post their sending address on the Official XC Forum as described.
The competition will run for 24 hours from the time of the first post on page 1000.
The winner will be decided upon by a suitably random method. If needs be, a video or other means of proof will be posted to establish the randomness of the selection.
The signed TOR Stick will be shipped to the winner at the earliest possible date. This may be in advance of TOR Sticks being shipped to the general public.

Does XChat support offline messages?
Your app will store undelivered messages until the recipient's node comes online. At present I think it has a time limit of 48 hours. This may change. |

Guys, why would you reveal your xchat identity on a forum when the whole deal is that it is anonymous.
Can the xchat be traced back to your wallet on the blockchain?
I was under the impression nothing is added to the blockchain. Further, I wouldn't chat with my primary addresses that hold funds anyway. Yes XChat does not use the blockchain because that wouldn't be very private. Imagine someone got your private key at any point in the future? - even long after you'd deleted your address or even your wallet, any message system that stores messages in the blockchain would willingly yield your private communication to any hacker. For privacy with XChat, you should create new addresses to chat from at will, and delete them when necessary. Once deleted, they're completely gone. Easy. |

"Shake em out, thats what it's all about"
Heh. Let him shake. XC investors are made of steel by now. Someone will eat that sell wall happily if it sticks around long enough. |

Crap whale is back.
Do you think so? I don't. No sign of that whale lately, no dumping on our news. Lovely. He keep appearing and disappearing.. Seems to be back now.. Sigh Ah well, he'll lose coins if he sells in the run-up to the TOR Stick release! Idiot whale? |

What would XC need to have or be for a major exchange to add it ? (btc-e, stamp, finex) I feel XC is way ahead of DRK at the moment and we have yet to be recognized as such.
Only a matter of time. XC community grow constantly. XC volume is always in top 5 altcoins trading volume. Most of top 5 altcoins are down a lot last few days/weeks (i suspect a lot of btc are ready to pump something) and XC price is mostly stable while our team keep delivering huge improvement. XC team will never stop to deliver to the point where XC crush every other altcoins. XC will create a wave of innovation never seen before, investors will not have the choice anymore. Very high daily volume trade + huge community support will force big exchange to accept XC. Next pumping phase of XC will attract of a lot of new investors (so volume + community >>>) because the field of altcoins already look pretty dry compared to XC devellopment. +1. |

It's about time XC releases some exciting news, I'd say. The chance to get a TOR Stick before anyone else isn't exciting? ["No," RW-Stott might reply, "the undisclosed Rev 2 privacy feature is exciting."] ;-)  it could also be some real world adoption type news. What ever happened to our two guys from the XC foundation? What are they doing? We haven't heard from them since that one day they were introduced... Yes, would be interested in this too. Are they actively working for the XC project, if yes, what are they doing, or are they supporting just by their names and their influence in ATM related stuff? I mean, not that this wouldn t be enough, but scott is right, they have never been seen again since introduction. Their support of XC is more indirect than, say, mine of Dan's. Attracting investors, rolling out ATMs, etc. is their thing. A lot of that stuff needs to be confidential, for obvious reasons, so don't expect frequent updates on this front. But of course I'll fill you all in when I get news. |

Back from weekend away guys, all I see is good news, why did the price retrace? In a nutshell?
Cheers all.
Because we had an update. when's that whale gonna starve?!!  It was a minor dump, relatively speaking. I don't think it was that whale because it wasn't a dump on our news. It just looked like regular old price action for the most part. In fact, of late there's been no sign of the whale. |

the final XChat needs some sort of notification (maybe color change or small icon) when a message is received/read.
It definitely will have notifications. That is great, but have another request/question for the XChat, do we really need the address and the public key as destination? After all, its not called a public key for nothing I have some clarification on this: The public key is used to encrypt messages sent to a given address. So you need it if you want the message to be private. Here's a summary of the mechanism: - User A wants to send a message to user B - User A gets public key of user B - User A encrypts a packet which has his own public key and sends to user B - Only user B can decrypt, since the private key of user B is required to decode a message encrypted with user B's public key - Now user B has user A's public key, and can encrypt and send back a message. So addresses are analogous to phone numbers, and in order to secure the communication, a public key is needed. Well, this sounds like an awesome invention. How do you figger out all these new technological improvements? Two words: DAN METCALF |

Indeed. Let's just say we almost always wait until something is real before announcing it.
But stay tuned for the XC Daily Update later today.
Cool. Thanks synechist, always appreciate your active presence on this thread. Looking forward to the XC daily update! Only a pleasure. This community gets better and better by the week. |
