Remember what the badass Vitalik has said:

The Ethereum killer is Ethereum, the Ethereum of China is Ethereum, the Ethereum of Taiwan is Ethereum… 2.0

I believe him.

rbauer85, agree with you. The smart ones are loading up now.

PS: Thanks to who-ever just contributed just now.
PPS: It will be ...erm...potentially impossible to tell who contributed with XC. Please message me too.

No one should contribute if they don't see value in it.

Also why a demo has been set up for those willing to embrace development for XC.

Dadon/Battbott/Getmining, are you on IRC? I really appreciate your feedback and positive suggestions. The interactive demo is live for you to try.

NewWorld: I think there is a Bitcoin business ecosystem, isn't there? I'd assume they don't have to ask for permission when they launch a bitcoin related product?

Benthach, lol

Yep, great advice and will speak with ATC again tomorrow. I can totally understand the lack of trust and it may be a really good idea for him to hold the wallet/key for this.

Thanks Dadon. I really don't mean to ruffle feathers but to give us / the coin a good opportunity.
That may be the best approach to take.

Ballz, I'm saying it is not a scam. Only the best intentions.

It's 10K and the product is real. 10K (in XC! not USD) is not a huge load of money for a dev with a working product.
That said, I'm starting to question why we'd go to the effort when comments like this are being made.

Ballz: This is not an "official" app, although it may be some day.

An official app hasn't been created and there may be a wait for that.

This is a mobile application that allows you to send and receive XC and interface with XC functions.

Nothing to my knowledge right now has the ability to do that for the iPhone and Android.

Am I missing something?

NewWorld: People have been requesting information. A developer is not free. Bounties are common (XC just had one to guess the mixer addresses). I put up the site so we can track progress.

Speaking of which, if anyone is wondering my intentions and history - I made money from the DRK rise and have been following XC for a long time now. Like most, I also have XC investments and would love to see it's value where it should be. ATC/ Dan is a professional and will take XC further, I believe, than others out there. He has continuously delivered and set expectations accordingly. Several competing coins (was it Vert today, Sum2, Pink, Voot?) have been announcing different anon solutions. As in investor, like others on the forum, I'd like to do as much as possible to keep the value up. ATC has his hands full working on the anon and REV2. To me, a mobile app is an opportunity and quick win.

Several people have requested information. XC has been hit by quite a bit of FUD (community names not mentioned). It's a bit refreshing there is a working product and it's not 'under development' or a scam.

Getmining, you have good points. Ideally, most things in life would be free. However, he has a good, working product and believe it's worth chipping in for. I'm not sure what to say here - did you every spend money on a video card for mining (or rented a rig)? The opportunity is here and something like this that is already built and of value doesn't exist every day, don't you agree? If people aren't interested, so be it, you know my position - trying to help the community and the value of the currency.

There was definitely no threat from him He just made the product and I asked him if he would be open to working with XC! Now it's customized and ready to go.

The page has been updated with the new target: http://net-elite.org/xc/

Aiming for an interactive demo (next day or so) to those donating - please just send me a message here or on IRC.

Heard this several times on the channel as well, thanks for your input. 30k is too much - I'm requesting 10K from the dev. Pretty confident he'll be OK with that. Keep in mind, this app is usable RIGHT NOW. Thankfully Apple changed their stance on crypto recently. He's put of fair bit of time into the dev work and is focussed on releasing new mobile features. He'll be working on the SMS app tonight, but targeting the weekend to have it out.

I have no problem waiting either, but it may be helpful for the coin if things were released sooner rather than later. Just saying By the way, was in in contact with ATC earlier and he's open to it, but will absolutely need to review and approve it if it is to become the "official" version. For now, this is the unofficial version - functions well, is easy to use and is very flexible.

Hey Crypto and all,

There were quite a few questions on the IRC channel today so I can post the main points:

- XC mixer functions can be supported since the app uses SSL encrypted JSON-RPC. Users can set up their own certs easily for extra trust. The app is easy to install <- I have verified this myself
- Video is coming tonight
- Demo accounts will be set up shortly (tonight or tomorrow) for people wanting to try the app interactively
- SMS app will coming over the next few days and be included!
- We can negotiate the 30k. The dev is really interested in helping XC differentiate since it's in a lull before Rev2, he likes the community and he thinks the XC dev (ATCsecure) is doing a great job.
- Yes, it's real and ready NOW. It was posted on Google Play earlier today for further testing...
