Who are these people? Do you know anything about them?

Maybe you are just being facetious ? There are better ways to question peoples integrity then post irrelevant links from a different coin from 2014 ? Current Developers/Volunteers - https://www.bitcoinplus.org/XBC_Team.phpBrief History - https://www.bitcoinplus.org/history.phpNot sure how the main website can be made any clearer.

I ran an issue as below while running `make -f makefile.unix` on ubuntu machine -
error : tor/compat_libevent.h:18:25: fatal error: event2/util.h: No such file or directory
it doesn't seem like the source code includes event2/util.h anymore - is this a bug?
This is what I use on a brand new Digital Oceon Droplet - Ubuntu 16.04.4 x64 Min 2GB Ram required. sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install build-essential sudo apt-get install libssl-dev sudo apt-get install libdb++-dev sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev sudo apt-get install libqrencode-dev sudo apt-get install libevent-dev sudo apt-get install libminiupnpc-dev git clone https://github.com/bitcoinplusorg/xbcwalletsource.gitcd xbcwalletsource/src/ make -f makefile.unix ./bitcoinplusd From start to finish takes about 15 minutes. |

Apologies everyone for the down time in the website over the last week.
Essentially just before new years eve our previous hosting provider Site5, locked the website down as it believed we were using too many resources and we were breaching their terms of service. Having looked at all the traffic and resource usage logs everything has been pretty constant for several months so this was a complete surprise to us.
I asked Site5 to clarify but didn't get any response. After discussions on live chat with their support I asked Site5 to move us to a VPS and transfer over the website as I believed this would get the website back up and running in the fastest time possible. A week later and I finally had access to the VPS. It then took several more days for their support staff to restore the website. Once restored the VPS server appeared to be unstable and I was having constant issues connecting the server.
By last night I'd had enough and took out web hosting with another provider and a few hours later had restored the website myself. In hindsight I should of done this over a week ago. DNS propogation should have finished by now and everybody should be able to access the website again. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
Thank you to everyone for their patience over the last week.

Something wrong with bitcoinplus.org, or is it just under maintenance in these hours of the night (in the US, at least)? I'm getting prompted for a username/password and then see this:  It may be down for a few days as we upgrade servers. XBC has become to popular. Thanks |

Does anyone know how much was raised during the ICO? Was there a cap, and was it reached?
this is one of the questions of the Binance Listing Application Form and i was wondering for myself too out of curiosity.
This coin did not have an ICO. A previous coin with the same name did. Everything you need to know can be found on the website - https://www.bitcoinplus.org/https://www.bitcoinplus.org/sustainability_plan.phphttps://www.bitcoinplus.org/history.phpThe XBC Project will not be spending funds on any further Exchange Listings at this time. All funds are currently going towards wallet development. This position may change after the next round of updates. However we would hope that Exchanges would be approaching XBC rather than us approach them. |

1) I can't vote either.
2) "expected time to earn reward is 4 hours" - It's said that for 2 days. 5 days ago it said 10 hrs so its making progress. What's up with this? I've had my XBC for a week with no staking.
BTW I'm a big fan of this coin, I think it has a huge future, I just don't understand the staking discrepancy.
1) I believe you have to x amount of posts to be able to vote. 2) https://www.bitcoinplus.org/blog/proof-stake-explainedWhat is meant by the Terms Weight in PoS ?
The Weight of the Network is a figure given to the All the coins that are actively Staking on the entire XBC Network. The Coins in your Wallet that are availble for Staking also has a Weight. If the Weight of the Network is 8000 and the Weight of your Coins is 2000 then you have a good chance of Minting some new coins. However if the Weight of your Coins is just 1 then the chance of you Minting some new coins are remote. The Weight of the Coin is simply based on Coin Age. As a coin gets older as does the weight and your chance of Minting coins increases. As people open and close wallets the weight of the network will change as will your chance of staking. Over the course of the year you will receive 20% of your original XBC. Not sure how often the 'Expected time to earn is updated'. |

Can someone please give an update on what is happening with the 9,000+ XBC in poloniex community wallet?
What are the short term or long term plans for those coins?
All the information you need can be found on the main website. https://www.bitcoinplus.org/sustainability_plan.php |

Where I can get the minting profitability?
I mean like a clculator that tells me approx due to the current situation how much I can mint per day due to my coins
https://www.bitcoinplus.org/blog/proof-stake-explainedUnrealistic to calculate per day as the algorithm is based on 1 year. Theoretical amount - divide yearly stake by 365. |

Is Bittrex not a better option than Poloniex for the main exchange for XBC liquidity?
I agree. Bittrex would be a great secondary exchange for XBC. However. As has previously been discussed numerous times on here, Bittrex require very large fees just to review the coins code with no agreement in place at the end of the review that XBC would be listed. Bittrex also require funds allocated to act as market makers. Priority for XBC is wallet development. Everything is reviewed every few months, so who knows in the future. |

Bitcoin is facing the wall with its saturated mempool and high transaction fees. There is even the threat of a hardfork happening this year. There is division in the community about the solutions to be implemented, whether it is Segwit, Lightning network, Bitcoin Unlimited or simply doing nothing.
While many are pondering about which form will take the new Bitcoin, the solution already exists and is there. The new, better Bitcoin is called Bitcoin Plus. Many are now realizing this including me, that's why moving from BTC into XBC is a logical step, at least for me.
I do not think Bitcoinplus is a realistic alternative for bitcoin because the user base is not global and it is not distributed evenly enough.Also it is not like bitcoin really because it is not forked directly from bitcoin code.Too many bagholders with big coin amounts dumping constantly will not allow price to remain high and in the end it will remain here or go back to only a few cents value but only time will tell as only 10% of total coins are mined so far.Developers can only do so much but if bagholders and community do nothing I can not see anything big in the future as there are many coins to choose from. BitcoinPlus Market Cap remains around $6,500,000 which is superb. It has natural ups and downs. It has minimal coin supply so yes it can be easily manipulated by a relatively small amount of capital. See the last couple of pumps beginning and end of July for instance. Every coin goes through these cycles. There is nothing that XBC Team can do to stop that. Outside of these pumps I don't see bagholders dumping. Liquidity isn't great on the XBC Market on Poloniex which makes the price extremely volatile and over reacts to even a few XBC being traded. Other than the top coins, all markets on Poloniex have less BTC then a year ago due to the decline in Poloniex Trust from Market Makers. Every person I know, has drastically reduced their exposure to Poloniex and moved to other exchanges. Total Poloniex Volume is massively down compared to a year ago. However, overtime as Poloniex reputation improves again, market makers should come back to Poloniex and liquidity on the smaller coins (such as XBC) should increase. Manipulating prices or fake volume is absolutely something XBC Project will NOT entertain and be a part of. You are absolutely right in that the XBC user base is small compared to the larger coins and prior to the Current Development this was the Number 1 priority for the XBC Project. However, as the priority is now updating the XBC Code base so that it is on a par with BTC so that we can actually piggyback developing technology and even develop our own, all funds are diverted into that. In the background you can see our Freelance Dev updating the entire BitcoinPlus code base so that we will be based on Bitcoin but Proof of Stake. The intention at the moment is to also keep the TOR feature and our encrypted messaging feature. These are big differences. Once the updates are complete the XBC Project will start the Marketing side of BitcoinPlus again. It is not simple process. We are trying to avoid any hard forks and we are trying to make everything as seamless as possible. It may take many months to get to where we want to be but we WILL get there. XBC has made good progress but only the rich get richer and those who have the most money to buy coins and accumulate large bags can do no work and get the most returned due to proof of stake concept.Of course large mining farms can do this with bitcoin but bitcoin is better distributed.Bitcoinplus can only hope to fill some niche use case such as some type of settlement layer with easy privacy and security,efficiency improvements but why bother when we can already use bitcoin segwit for this?There are many better options than XBC where one or two large bagholders do not dominate the staking process and price is stable exchange rate. As with ALL coins there are bagholders. That is the risk you take with all coins. As only 10% of all coins are currently minted there is plenty of scope for people to accumulate their own bags. |

also getting same error with new client 6.0
Are you running one of the precompiled wallets as per https://www.bitcoinplus.org/wallet.php. In which case - which one ? I'm not an expert on wallet errors but it sounds like a corrupt database. I would backup your wallet and delete the database file and let the wallet sync up again from the start. If using Windows, the database is found in the folder - "c:\users\"yourusername"\appdata\roaming\bitcoinplus". |
