Hello dear XDN users,
Today we found that CryptoNote developers introduced Reference GUI for all CryptoNote coins
 https://forum.cryptonote.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=609

So our team decided to switch XDN GUI wallet development on CryptoNote based QT.

Our beta XDN client is using wxWidgets to produce nice GUI, as Bitcoin itself had a wxWidgets based GUI at the very beginning, after they switched to QT, so we do.

We will integrate XDN messaging, mining and other XDN fetures on the top of CN QT GUI.

We expect this to happen on XDN 1 year birthday.

You will  have a familiar Bitcoin alike QT for your XDN.

P.S. The signs of the new era of cryptos is everywhere, you should just observe it and understand it. Stay tuned.

You should understand that ALL GUI versions that we are introducing now is early pre beta (alpha) state and for testing purposes only, that is why versioning now is not important for us, sorry for inconvenience.

We are still on main distribution phase, when next BIG event will occur, we will introduce the working beta version of XDN GUI, until that time all of users and early adopters are testers

And we believe all early adopters and testers will have their reward from XDN success.

Stay tuned, thank you for all your notices, much appreciate this and will try to do our best to solve all small current issues, but we are focused on BIG event.
 

Due to the updates and GUI tuning, you can expect some XDN GUI client connections problems, sorry for inconvenience.

Thank you for answers.
Can you please point me to your white paper if you have one.
I really would like to research your DPOS implementation.

Very very interesting. Did you save all ring signatures features?

Do you have a pure DPOS (POS) after PoW or a Hybrid PoS/PoW?

Thank you.

EDIT: we really like your experience, because XDN is still on PoW phase.

Do you have problem with GUI or daemon?
Please, provide your logs if you are trying to launch daemon.
Thank you.

Thank you, Sir, nothing to say more here.

P.S. That is what i am talking about, see @smooth.
P.P.S. Happy breakfast on each other. bon appetit.

"Darknote - possibly tied to the original Bytecoin fraud, but not proven".

1. I claiming again and again and again - XDN, also known as duckNote, also known as DarkNote tied to original bytecoin ONLY by using their source code.
2. You have no proofs, but you say like that, thats a FUD.
3. I have proofs. Few of them, please, just think about that i am trying to tell:
-we (xdn dev team) developed XDN distribution model long ago before we knew about any CryptoNote
-we (xdn dev team) always were a strong believers of FAIR Proof-of-work, means for us ASICS elimination. We experimented a lot with scrypt coins and other algo, although, we were waiting for an absolute ASIC and GPU elimination. That is why when we first seen bytecoin and cryptonote, we started with XDN development.
before only my claiming, next goes facts
-approach of CN coins daemons-wallets was strange to us, but any way we strongly wanted to bring to life our libertarian coins distribution model on top of bytecoin ASIC-resistant code. Truly, anonymity was a feature, but not a goal for us, but later we understand the value of that feature. Now we are sure both anonymity and XDN libertarian distribution will bring success. So we changed distribution to be alike original Bitcoin distribution with block halving. Again because we were familiar with that and made lots of testnet experiments with scrypt and other algo coins.
-so after a fair announce and immediate launch of XDN, GUI problem appeared. And in next few weeks we made KWAG https://github.com/ducknote/kwag the very first GUI wrapper for simplewallet.
-in the middle of the last summer when our dev team was quite enough familiar with cryptonote coins approach and codebase, we started developing of Encrypted messaging cryptography. It is glued with cryptonote technology, but it is a separate feature, made by us from scratch, and we believe very important and valuable feature.
-Original DarkNote GUI, that was announced with xdn ducknote-darknote "quantum leap" made with wxWidgets. This is a C++ GUI lib, i think Monero devs are familiar with it, but it is not a QT. Early Bitcoin used wxWidgets too. But a week or so ago, bytecoin announced their GUI too, i must say i like the UI, but they have much much less features than we have in XDN GUI, and bytecoin GUI made with QT, NOT wxwidgets.
-Truly, i have lots things to say, and other dev guys too, but they chose to stay silent, and i chose not to speak to much about dev process, but when i see accusations, i must reply.

"Totally opaque process and little traction."
Wrong, again. look at http://stat.darknote.cc/, sorry and, please don`t judge, its in early early alpha, but you can see some stats about trading and  transactions volume.


"Also the launch with an absurd"

If you don`t understand the Game, you don`t play, you don`t have fun, does it means the game is absurd? So, yes, for you may be. And i still ask you. "do not concentrate on a finger."

We are (xdn dev team) making a great things, we are straight and consecutive in our steps, we are separate and independent even from each other. We communicate with XDN messaging, we make colleague decisions by voting, true democracy here. And all announcements are public at the time of decision, to avoid any insights. As you can see with XDN launch, as you can see with any our announce.

I personally do respect monero devs for their work, especially because of their web services, even being a competitor, but it is really hard to understand what made you guys so angry about XDN? So i do not know much about any other CN coins, since i can`t see features, but your behavior especially with DarkNote is discusting.
You seen the launch you seen dev process and trades, you know it is fair and have no relation with bytecoin or bytecoin devs, except of using their codebase, and still you use this angry enemy-search propaganda.

We make out stuff and we make it fair and good, if you thing i am wrong point me there.

P.S. Why i wrote it? Because i do research XDN related activity, if i see accusations i must reply.
 

     Huge XDN price volatility was predicted since the launch. XDN libertarian distribution model implies this, because it is ruled only by free market players. Everything is clear and predictable.  We believe this is good for both traders and investors.
At the moment of writing this post we are on the 115745 block height http://chainradar.com/xdn/block/115745 with

Total coins in network    6'837'832'626.20872800
That is 6'837'832'626.20872800/8 589 869 056 *100% = 79.603455904 % of Cataldi perfect number and XDN total supply.

But,
We are still on the     312.5 XDN block reward, while minimum  XDN block reward = 150 XDN.
So we are still on the "main distribution" stage.

You can check  http://stat.darknote.cc/ - it is still in early alpha, with lots of things to do, don`t judge it now, but it already has the most advanced XDN stats.
According to that stats, the average XDN price for the whole period of trades =

On Poloniex: 0.00000024
On HitBTC:    0.00000027

Note 1:
XDN first year distribution, as well as a first year of trades is a topic of further research and Economics studies.

Note 2:
XDN`s model of libertarian distribution is working. As a proof you can find the year volume of traded XDN on both major exchanges and more importantly intra day trading and single trades volume.

Year volume on HitBTC = 19,123,760,100.00 XDN (at the time of measuring, beginning of April, 2015)
Year volume on Poloniex = 7,840,043,356.03 XDN (at the time of measuring, beginning of April, 2015)
Year volume sum on both major XDN exchanges = 26963803456.03
That is equal to ~ 4 times of each XDN coin unit traded during less one year of XDN "main distribution" stage.

And once again,  we are still on the "main distribution" stage.

P.S. Current XDN price range is exactly the same as an average year price values.
P.P.S. And to be clear for everyone once again,  we are still on the "main distribution" stage. some say, it is not even the beginning.

:p

More accurate answer to your question. http://darknotetalk.org/comment/24#comment-24

You have your answer, sir, http://darknotetalk.org/groups/creating-xdn-provably-unspendable-burn-address

I agree with you, i will answer there and copy it here. Thank you.

My point was to move that discussion to http://darknotetalk.org, because we want to accumulate all useful content in one place in the way we like it. So if you don`t mind, please, re ask your question there, i will be glad to open discussion with you, and answer you, since you asked a very interesting question, and there are several answers to that question. (because actually there are two questions in your question)
I'm looking forward to hearing from you on http://darknotetalk.org

of what?

As one of DarkNote developers, i say, as i did many timed:

duckNote, after that DarkNote, also known as XDN is a real independent cryptocurrency, with independent from any other coin decentralized development process. We have a few team members all around the globe contacting frequently.
No one of us has any bytecoin relation besides using their codebase (DarkNote is a fork of Bytecoin).
If there is some developer here, he can see absolutely different approaches in our development processes. Everything, including software libraries is different.
Just one case: i observed new bytecoin gui wallet, by the way looks great, and they use QT. I will tell you a secret - we never used QT for darknote GUI, to provide graphical user interface we are using wxWidgets.

We are different in almost all - coins distribution (no other CN coin has such emission, we made it real by changing codebase),  clients software (since the early html simplewallet wrappers to latest wxWidgets based GUI), roadmap, finally we implemented new state-of-the-art encrypted messaging cryptography and made a messenger based on it.

One more point: our team had a vision of cryptocurrency like DarkNote before we even knew about CryptoNote or Bytecoin. Distribution curve, exact coins number, block time, rewards and CPU-only mining. We had an economy vision and a roadmap for the new libertarian economy, but we were choosing the codebase, and one day one member of our team found Bytecoin.  They had everything we need, so we forked bytecoin changing major things. After that our way was different from any other CN coin.

I think our competitors, and Bytecoin is definitely our competitor sometimes envy us 

We are surely moving forward, without the hassles and worries, because we are making a brave thing and our hearts are pure.
Thank you, i hope to be heard, we are making the same thing here, i would say we are allies with any cryptonote user and developer.
