Opening back up already? We're supposed to believe you went from complete syadmin noob to pro in 3 days?

Should have spent at least a month learning the stuff you don't know and patching up the holes in your code. But it's not your coins that get lost in a hack it's the people who deposit at your exchange so I guess you've got nothing to lose.

I admire your patience and self control with that reply. I would be pissed as hell if I was spoken to like that after being robbed.

It's only a scam because you don't have any 

Typically isn't the convention for currencies to start with the letter X? Which is why BTC is sometimes referred to as XBT. And presumably why Sunny Kind primecoin developer chose the name XPM for primecoin.

That would logically leave us with XNT. But is kind of ugly.

Pm'd.

That site has a gaping security hole. Funds deposited will not be secure. Someone contact the developer and I will tell him.

Thank you. Reading the guide to burn via Blockchain.info, I think I understand all of the steps and I am going to try a test amount first but what I don't understand is how to claim my XCP after I have burned my BTC?

Can you please explain this?

How can I burn a bitcoin for XCP using Electrum? I don't have Bitcoin-qt installed and downloading the fullblockchain will take ages on my internet connection.

This (suspected) scam has only been successful because of the NXT phenomenon.

I agree that we shouldn't worry much about marketing right now.

Visacoin is based on the same concept of Aerocoin.

Collect coins from people who missed the NXT train.

I highly suspect both of them are going to be NXT forks or just straight up scams. When NXT was collecting money at least the NXT network was semi operational and you could see CFB tinkering with it. With these new ones it's nothing but empty air from what I can see.

He also reported being hacked. And he has also alluded to dgex being a beta. So how much of those 800k lost is down to

- NXT client error
- hacking
- dgex software error

He hasn't said. I did ask but he hasn't updated the topic with anything

If I can give a suggestion, you do not need to give away all those NXT at once. By all means reward the community but also keep a good amount held back in my opinion. We've got a long 2014 ahead of us and those funds spent wisely could propel NXT very high up the market cap ranks.

Does anyone have concrete examples of the problems Graviton is referring to that cause him to lose so much money?

If these problems exist we need to fix them as high priority please. No good or reliable services will appear until it is sorted.  

Questions for DGEX operator

1. Regarding the 800,00 NXT you need to cover. You seem to blame the NXT code yet you posted earlier today that you was also hacked? How much of the 800,000 NXT was lost in the hack and how much was lost due to the software error? And how much of that NXT is due to your own coding errors?

My opinion is if you are out of pocket that much due to NXT software errors or blockchain faults then I can understand somewhat. However server hacks and your own coding errors are your own responsibility.

2. Is the withdrawal fee for new deposits only, or does it include existing deposits? If it covers existing deposits that is quite frankly taking the piss. You can't take people's money and then say ok I'm now charging you to get it back. At least give people notice to withdraw their funds out first - I certainly saw no notice on the site.

Cool story bro. Go back to Bitcoin if you don't like it.

If they can do this with NXT why can't they do it with Bitcoin?
