Yeah the site is still going real strong

I was a team member for many years on this project. I was very sad to hear about Dave's passing. I know that it hit the team hard because he was a great leader for getting things going.

I remember CCR in the troll box on yobit years ago telling everyone about this great project that him and borzalom we're on their way to creating. Say what you want about Dave but he was passionate about what he believed in. He was never a scammer. I had numerous private conversations with him and I can swear to this community and everybody else that his intention was to build a great blockchain platform to rival the best out there.  

But he sure did hit the Yobit trollbox hard though didn't he. 😂😂 It was awesome to hear him destroy people....and hilarious. He was a born speaker and leader. You know he took about 2 hours out of his time to personally help me set up my two static nodes. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing and I was probably irritating him to no end but he kept working with me and he kept explaining how this technology was going to be revolutionary. Say what you want about him but he believed it with all his heart. I was a part of the team for years and I saw the sweat and the work that went into everything that this team created. With no money raised except from the community. With no ICO.. and if you remember this was during the boom we probably could have held one and raised millions of dollars... Think about that for a second.

I haven't been involved in xby for a few months because of personal reasons but I am back in crypto 100%. I'm sad about the news of Dave and I hope wholeheartedly that this project will continue and reach its goals because it has some of the most talented people I have ever met in my life behind it.

Stay strong guys!

XTRABYTES is a project that is ongoing. It's obviously not a scam. We've seen literally thousands of them come and go in the last few years. They vanish without a trace. They don't actively seek talented individuals to add to the team and keep progressing the best they can (sure, it's been super slow, but so what . . shoot Amazon stock was under 50 bucks for the first TEN YEARS it was traded) I won't even mention the cryptos that were basically worthless a few years ago. You should know them if you visit this forum. And don't even get me started on how worthless APPLE was for YEARS AND YEARS. And what did people say about all those companies and cryptos?  

Basically the same negative crap some people post about XBY now.


If you have a gripe with the way the project is handled, that's fine. But all this trolling, alt-account, nonsense needs to be left behind in the high school library where it belongs.

I swear I bet the peeps who put all that effort into writing the posts on here and other platforms have spent DAYS or WEEKS just thinking about XTRABYTES. And the funny thing, no one even cares  

Holy shit the amount of time wasted for the same people to read your posts haha . . it's quite sad, really.

For anyone curious, I was quite ill for the last few months . . and basically tuned out crypto because it wasn't good for my psyche at the time. I'm still not sure about going back full swing. Some of you should know what I mean when I say crypto has a tendency to take over your life.

It's good to see some familiar posters here, but sadly, many of the old schoolers are gone. And it's not just this project either. It's this entire forum . . but I digress.

Love the layout of the site. Very sleek and pleasing to the eyes.

I've been sitting on my LAB since the ICO.  Has any progress been made on this project?

To all XBY holders,

It was brought to our attention that on January 14th, 2019 Cryptopia had suffered a security breach. Police were called in to investigate. I have reached out to the exchange to understand how XTRABYTES™ investors were affected. They have been instructed not to communicate about this matter during the investigation.

To secure our investors coins, we made a decision to freeze the Cryptopia wallets for the time being. This took the majority of a day (January 15th, 2019) to complete.


A brief lesson on exchanges

When you enter an exchange, you are essentially leaving your coins in the exchange wallet at the door. You receive a copy that is used to trade within the exchange. This is all invisible to the user. When you leave the exchange, these copies are traded for the real coins/tokens removing them from the exchange wallet of each respective coin/token.


What does this mean?

Currently we can see who (addresses) brought coins into the exchange. We do not have visibility if they sold these coins within the exchange. This is visible on the exchange order books only.

Example: I bring in 1 Bitcoin to the exchange. I purchase 30,000 XBY. The exchange sees this on their order book but the XBY Block Explorer will have no record of this until I withdraw these purchased coins from the exchange.

At this point, anyone trying to transfer coins from the Cryptopia wallet (potential hacker), will not be able to. Once Cryptopia comes back online, we will unfreeze the wallet. This means everyone will have access to the coins that were in their Cryptopia wallets.


What happens if Cryptopia is down for an extended period of time?

Currently this situation is between Cryptopia and the police to resolve. We are simply protecting their wallets by freezing them. If they are unable to resolve this issue, we will request a third party to review their order book. This is to maintain the privacy of the exchange member. We will then be able to verify claims of holdings and transfer coins from the 2 wallets to the rightful owners.


What exchanges can I trade on now?

We applied (January 7/8) to additional exchanges and are currently in a review period. Once we are approved, we will update our home page to reflect the new exchanges as well as making an announcement.

Current exchanges that offer XBY trading are:
Tradesatoshi: https://tradesatoshi.com/
Nova Exchange: https://novaexchange.com/


What should I do?

To protect your investment please make sure to do the following:

Transfer your coins to your computer wallet or paper wallet.

Backup your wallet.

Upgrade to the latest available wallet.

We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as we receive them.

Thank you

I was hoping for a 404 message when I went to the website, but alas, it never happened.

What is going on with this coin lulz . . .

How much is the current supply that it is costing 0.3 btc for 1 coin? 

Riiiiiiiiight. Seems things never change around here.

That's what's up - now time to start hunting.

Weekly updates are good, but once a project gets rolling, there really isn't a bunch of new stuff to report every single week. It leads to unrealistic expectations from the community (unintentional, but still there)

The roadmap is the focal point. Why do you need an update every 7 days? Eventually, the updates will be: "We are progressing quite well on XXX and working to complete item YYYY at least by the target date in the roadmap. Socials growth is ZZZZ and AAAA members were added to Discord"

I know this because I used to help write updates for another project that, at one time, was in the top 100.......ahhhhh back in the day  . And sometimes, there isnt anything to report. AMA's are good - eventually, a subreddit would be needed - crypto is frickin huge on Reddit - but they are not stupid and will take to bashing a project real fast. Best to have all your ducks in a row, as they say, before going there.

Growing the Discord the way the team is doing appears to have been effective and it looks like a good community is there. Smaller coins like this need a strong community. They need people who dont dump into the buy side of Crypto Bridge the day it's listed. Place limit orders on the sell side for God's Sake lol . .

And jbeast, anyone else from Discord that is new over here - go post in other threads too. You can look up post history and it's easy to get accused of creating multiple accounts to bump an ANN thread.  Actually, it's done quite often. Bots too . . I know that's not the case here, just offering some words of advice.

Crypto Bridge is fine. Most "problems" can be attributed to user error.  I'm actually glad 401k coin decided to go there first. For one, centralized exchanges like Binance, Coinbase (even though it's how many started crypto) are the bane of the space.

But how else am I supposed to convert my crypto to fiat right?  

CB used to be so damn cheap to list - but guess you can't blame them.


Yea, jbeast100 - it is a challenge. But don't count anything out. 401k coin has the potential to be an excellent investment - - a couple years ago if you were told btc would nix 20k or that a dApp called PeepEth would be created because of another project, Ethereum and the distributed web with https://ipfs.io/ - and the ETH price is about 300 but was over 1k?

People would laugh - anyways, my point is 401k coin a chance like any other - the team keeps working hard, hit's their milestones, markets effectively, grows the community, establishes partnerships, etc - no one knows what crypto will look like a year from now - but I like what I see so far from the team here.

I'm very familiar with the admin and one of the moderator of the Discord. Known them for years in crypto. They are more active on other forums over Bitcointalk (I love this forum) - times are changing.

As far as the coin, I just joined the Discord today after speaking with one of the mods yesterday. He told me of the vision for 401k coin. I had an idea somehow, (and this would be way down the line, but incorporating it into actual 401k's somehow. I know some allow parts to be invested in crypto - just a thought.

Wording from the whitepaper imo that might need to be changed: dividends.


I like the idea of a fee free pool with no minimum deposit - good for the community. As for use cases?  I am available to talk to the team and share with them a couple I've been thinking of. 

The bottom line is I trust 2 of the guys on the team - this will not be a pump and dump MN that fizzles out in 3 months.

Following . . .

Joined the Discord, holy crap they need to get a handle on the spam. Was in the server for three minutes and had 5 people DM me lol

hey! Looks like a good time to buy now . . .


I commented a couple times on this thread in the beginning, and after this large price drop, it could be a good entry point. Sometimes, it pays to be patient.

Blocknet - one of my favorite projects. Well done 

Masternode Collateral: 285 Oasis Coins ? 

OK. What does that even mean?

No wallets yet. No roadmap. No whitepaper. No team page . . is there even a website?

imo, you posted your ANN way too early - more planning is needed about your project to create an informative ANN.

POW phase has an end date?

Or will this always stay a hybrid?
