One most important announcement:

Our previous dev is a ruthless coward bitch.

Okay now I am confused? Whats going on the background?

Yes same here id like to know a little more as well.

What kind of payment plan is there to attract a new dev ? i see great potential for a new dev to get a ton of coins cheap making it worth his/her/their time.
Let us know whats going on if the community needs to come up with some pesa to pay for this its better for us to buy now cheap then after the price jumps after.








I have contacted a couple of developers already, but both of them turned it down.  I should be able to get some of my donations back to use for payment to an interested developer.  There's nothing to report.  If anyone has any suggestions feel free to post them.  

No luck so far.  I contacted a bunch of devs and no takers.  I'm offering a dev 500k Pesa, which is more than half my stack.

If we can't find a dev by Oct. 12th I'm going to put my coins on Bittrex.  Maybe somebody will buy my coins cheap and take over the coin for the community.

innovation doesn't count in the crypto world

The opinions of women don't count in the real world.
....particularly if they work at microsoft and ask for a raise.
Or you know, you could accept that everybody has their own opinion.

While we're at it, let's also take aim at the pervasive misogyny of cryptoland.

This is such a male-dominated space. It would be lovely to have more women involved - and made to feel welcome.




I think You just touched on the next step to crypto mass adoption.  Women need to be involved.

If anyone has any questions for our poker pros please let me know.  I will forward to our poker agents promptly

How do you play Axs preflop?

No pro here, but one thing you never want with pocket Aces is a crowd seeing the flop. But yes, position, appearance, table manners/history, etc are all important. There's a myriad of ways to play pocket Aces.



BreakoutCoin- I'm watching this coin closely- How about a shout from these pros backing the coin?

How about they join the thread for some poke discussion.

Axs stands for Ace and any other card of the same suit.  Since you brought up aces, that happens to be the easiest hand to play pre-flop, IMO.  I can probably teach a 5 year old how to play AA properly pre-flop.  Open bet and keep raising to get it in good.  That's it.  With 100bb-200bb stacks you can play KK the same way.

Are you trying to scare everyone out of the hand, or take all of their money? If you're a quiet observer type player and try that, no one will risk money against you. It's all relative and why pros are pros.

Slow playing AA is a recipe for disaster unless you are ridiculously good post-flop.

I'm not really saying to slow play, I just feel your statement is too aggressive for a general rule of thumb. If you're the button and everyone folds, you're pretty much golden. If you're in a middle position and post a huge raise after playing extremely conservative, there's a good chance you won't see a flop or if you get a caller they'll be hesitant to call much post flop- they may place a sizable bet to see where you are, but they'll be wary.

So, for the last time, it's all relative to what's been happening at the table, your own attitude/betting history, etc. One thing is for certain- you DON'T want a crowd seeing a flop with pocket aces. Too easy for someone to hit two-pair, the chances of someone else hitting a set are equal to yours, and it also opens up draws for straights and flushes. I should note that I'm more of a conservative who mainly plays great opening hands in early positions and good hands in late positions, and wait for several hands to get a feel for my table. Other players come out firing with the utmost confidence and have a lot of success, however. I certainly ain't no damn Tom Dwan- pretty sure I've seen him make guys fold QQ-AA with a 2-6 off suit haha

I have a good feel for the game and have won a lot more than I lost, but I am too anxious to play often. My adrenaline overwhelms me, so I stick to cash games at the local card room or casual games with friends.


For the last time and I will drop it, but no player can ever go wrong with playing AA too aggressively pre-flop no matter what the table dynamics are.  The time to play AA agg is pre-flop, after the flop is when it gets tricky.  To be clear I'm talking about pre-flop so I'm pretty certain Tom Dwan never made anyone fold AA pre-flop, EVER, unless it was an online misclick.

If you're talking simply winning the hand, sure, you can never play AA too aggressively. But, if you want to maximize profit, then I disagree. We can just leave it at that.

Of course it wasn't a pre-flop AA fold. Pocket Aces is the nuts pre-flop, but if you have a crowd of 5+ players seeing the flop your chances of winning the hand, while still the highest, is lowered by a fair margin. Can't tell you how many times I've seen AA folded following a flop with a crowd- and usually they were correct in folding.

I'm going to let you get the last word in even though I can keep going. Tongue

CryptoGretzky probably means if you bought when we were in the 80-100k range back in June when BTC was at 600+ you'd be doing well.

1000XC at .0008 when BTC was $600 = $480
1000XC at .0013 now = $465

I've never understood when people say "bitcoin has dropped a ton but altcoin A hasn't".  Since the value is tied to BTC yes it has dropped a lot.


You can't just pick any point you want on the chart and make a reasonable argument.  I can pick a point when XC was trading at .005 and if you bought then it would be a horrible investment  relative to holding BTC.  You can also pick a point when XC was trading at .0002.  Like Synechist said, the initial pump is a different type of phenomenon. Choose points after the initial pump and maybe even after the second pump when it went back to .003.

This is exactly my point.  It has been stable in BTC value since the second .003 pump while BTC has decreased and since the value is tied to BTC it also has decreased.

If I was a betting man and there was somebody that could do the analysis, I would say that XC has spent much more time above the current price then below it. Do you know what that means?  It means that on average and you would have been better off holding BTC, assuming the holding period is still ongoing.

A much better comparison would be to analyze the performance of XC vs. other altcoins, not relative to BTC.

Completely agree.

To expand on this.  Since I was around during the initial altcoin pumps of Litecoin and Namecoin, it's been a trend that during a BTC bear market, you are better off selling out of altcoins and holding BTC. Most altcoins that aren't in the initial pump stage perform terribly relative to BTC when BTC is down trending.

I don't know what the pessimistic people are thinking...  BTC was near 700 bucks back then.  Now, BTC is below 400 bucks.   XC actually holding at above 120k+ Satoshi means that if you would have bought into XC back then, you would have prevented the lost of nearly 50% of your btc value.

Just think about that for a minute.  Stop whining about how "horrible" the price is and look at the whole picture....

Interdasting.  What was the price of XC when BTC was at 700?  I can't quite follow your logic unless I know what price you are quoting XC at.

His logic is illogical, that's why you can't follow Smiley

Ok, it's not just me.  There's some weird math going on in this thread the last couple of days.  What are they teaching kids in school these days?

How do you play Axs preflop?
Very carefully.😉
Too general.  

What position are you in?
What was the action before you?  
Rule #1, always look left.  Who's to your left and what reads do you have?  
Tight or loose table?
Short handed game or full ring? How many players at the table?
Stack sizes?
Cash game or Tourney?  
What's your image at the table?
Ace rag or what?

Answer those and then we can almost get started with the decision process.  Another X amount of questions to consider based on those answers.

If you didn't even consider this right out of the gate then you're just a home game fish.  Grin

Jake, it is apparent that you have been doing this for a long time  Grin

There is so much to learn!  May be I need to sign up for a class...  Will you be the teacher?  Wink

Yeah, after millions of hands of online poker you learn how to process this information quite quickly.
