Hello Judyrob,

Welcome to the XBY community!

I personally do not know anything about these types of campaigns. That said, I think anything to help get more exposure is advantageous to everyone. However, I will assume there are rewards for such a thing and those rewards are coins...?

This can happen but it would require donations from the community because there are ZERO additional XBY coins being produced. At this point, we do not even really have the ability to move the coins around because ALL the coins are in C-CEX wallets (on the exchange) and there are currently no XBY wallets available to transfer out to.

So, perhaps it is best to keep this on the back burner and open to discussions because I would be willing to donate if there is sufficient support from others to do the same and we could certainly create some sort of campaign.

In the mean time, XBY is still available for 1 satoshi per coin on C-CEX. https://c-cex.com/?p=xby-btc

Thank you for your input!

Thank you, Aarell

The images are samples and I am sure there will be more from our camp and perhaps another contributor will share something for us to choose from soon??

Also, we have not officially named the coin yet. There has not been any further input regarding this and XtraBYtes is looking as though it will prevail but I just wanted to point this out so the community knows we are still open to suggestions and MORE VOTES would be appreciated.

As a general rule, there are usually 2 images for a coin. One is designed as a logo for websites and the other is designed to be round, like the 3rd one for purposes such as the "about" section of the coin and also for the wallets graphical interface.

Speaking of wallets: Borzalom is making progress here also and some testing was done this week.

Yes, you can buy XBY on C-CEX @ https://c-cex.com/?p=xby-btc. It is open for trading but in maintenance mode while we fix the code.

There has not been any discussions about a swap thus far.

Thank you and have a great day!

Thank you all for you comments and support of the XBY Recovery Project. Anyone contributing opinions and comments here is welcome and appreciated. We all do prefer positive posts though, since as anyone who starts at the top of our thread will know, we were all scammed by the original Bitmox developer/scammer.

HOWEVER!!

As each day passes and I see the progress Borzalom, our NEW Lead Programmer and Official Developer is making, it makes me a bit more excited and optimistic. This is not just in hopes to get my investment back either. This project is going to become something where our coin will start to gain some real value on the exchange.

In my communications with Borzalom today and yesterday, we decided it was time for an update, so here it is...

Achieved Milestones:

1.) We shared the original Bitmox code so anyone could review it and see the flaws.

2.) We disable the Proof of Stake coding, which meant that nobody owned coins and all the coins were instead in the form of tokens in your C-CEX accounts.

3.) We made an agreement with C-CEX to put XBY in maintenance mode, which allows for trading but does not require a monthly minimum (to avoid delisting). This has been agreed to remain as such until the code repair is completed.

4.) We collected all the deposits from the original Bitmox blockchain with the co-operation of C-CEX (Now we know there are a total of 650 million XBY and they are all on C-CEX)

Borzalom reviewed these deposits and found them all in the blockchain. This is all the used emission, but the coin emission was different.

https://github.com/borzalom/bitmox/commit/a0e41cbc22950a3595ee581e4d41bca09902bdd1 You see here in the code there were 9 890 000 000 coins emissioned

Borzalom then changed the code and limited XBY to 650.000.000 million coins (this is what existed [were real] on C-CEX).

5.) We then hard forked the XBY blockchain.

6.) As it stands, there are no miners and Borzalom came up with the bright idea to write a Proof of Signature (POSign) mining algorithm. This is now being tested and he will make some final changes to this part of the code.

This is a unique idea and code creation that Borzalom implemented to ensure the stability of XBY. What this means is that over the long term, when miners come, POW will be available and any time a miner may not be available, the POSign will complete the normally abandoned blocks and not hold up the blockchain.

Additionally, XBY will use a unique system to pay the miners. There are ZERO rewards for the miners, but there will be a HIGH FEE of 100 XBY per transaction. So, when a miner completes the block, the miner gets the 100 XBY/transaction and when the POSign completes the block, the 100 XBY/transaction goes to a special "community" address.

The way the community address ( BLocksFEE4ProofofSignatureXXYF3VQ3 ) will work is yet to be determined. We will be asking the community to vote on this also. But for now, nobody has access to these coins because nobody has the signature to spend them. They are controlled only by the software and as it stands, Borzalom does not want to change this. My guess is that he will create something transparent that is either automated for spending by the software or a multi signature system will be implemented to ensure the community is happy how we spend the coins. Again, we will all vote on this.


Notice:

If any other developers (or anyone who understands) would like to review the code and post any required FIXME! remarks, we would appreciate that. Then, Borzalom will fix these additional small problems (if there are any) and the XBY code repair will be complete.

Borzalom thinks he will be finished by the end of this week. So far in testing, he has; sent and received coins in the closed network and no big problems were found. The nodes were synchronizing each other, transactions were accepted and everything worked fine.

In closing, in the words of Borzalom; If anyone found a bug then I will repair. Of course more developer better code.

He is the man!!

Thanks for reading and being part of our new XBY Community.

Today's update will be delayed for a bit. I have it written but need to be sure I have correctly interpreted what Borzalom has explained to me. This therefore means I need his "green light" before I post. Please stand by, I am waiting for him to get back to me with the approval.

Thank you for your understanding. The update will be posted ASAP.

XBY will only be sold through C-CEX. So the cost will be whatever the market dictates.

Please expect an update within 12 hours from me regarding the progress.

Thank you!

Aarell, thank you very much for your participation. You may have uncovered what will be the name of our project. Great Thinking!!

XtraBYtes seems as though it may be the name set in stone by destiny a few months back. Who would have thought we would be here today, extracting from the letters XBY a word that perfectly defines where this project is headed.

However, we are not going to arbitrarily make this decision and would still like to hear further input from anyone with an interest in where we are taking this coin. But, in my opinion and also Borzalom's, XtraBYtes has moved to the top of the list of new names for XBY.

So, I think it is safe to say we now have 3 votes for XtraBYtes

A quick update:

Borzalom is making some great progress with some changes to the Bitmox code and will be testing during these days.

Something else we have been discussing is to ask anyone concerned to help us in coming up with a NEW name for XBY.

I don't think anyone will argue that Bitmox is a rather odd name that cannot be marketed very easily. However, it was also stated previously that we do not want to change the coin because this will not be beneficial to any of the investors when it comes to the listing. So, what we are thinking is to change the Bitmox name, but leave the XBY as it is. Obviously this is a transparent undertaking and we would love to get some ideas from the field.

My idea is to try to make something out of the "nearly unusable" XBY and I came up with the following:

Xtra
Block
Yotta

So we can call the project: Yottabits, Yottabytes or Yottablocks and we are in fact bouncing around the idea of a storage coin. So, YottaXtraBlocks is the idea... Yotta being a very large measurement of data for those who do not know. In fact, 1 yottabyte = 931,322,574,615,000 gigabytes (931 trillion)

We look forward to your input and additional suggestions!!

Thank you!

Thank you for your input, Robelneo.

We did in fact discuss this at great length and although I know nothing about the peepcoin situation, we decided that transparency was far better than shoving the problem under the carpet and moving forward with a new coin. Doing so would have risked other peoples money even more by trying some trickery to save our funds and perhaps most important of all at this point, is to note that; we are not taking anyone's "new" money. There is no ICO... There is only trading on the exchange. Once people feel good about what is happening, trading should start again.

With that said, it should also be known that even though this project is a recovery so that (hopefully) none of us lose money, it is also stage 1 of a larger coin project, with a new coin and a powerful concept that Borzalom and I have realized is desperately needed in the crypto world.

In the mean time, we are first of all fixing the blockchain of XBY and secondly, debating the coins purpose.

Hope that helps!

Thank you Borzalom! We have our work cut out for us indeed.

Obviously we are dealing with a very unusual situation and one that will require time to correct and rebuild trust. So, just a quick overview so that readers can better understand what is happening here:

Back around the beginning of January, myself, Borzalom and many others made purchases of XBY (Bitmox) on C-CEX. If any of us had known we were being scammed by the original DEV, obviously we would not have bought and this project would likely have died completely. However, what has happened here is that a veteran marketer of over 20 years (myself) and a veteran programmer of over 25 years, with almost 7 years in blockchain and crypto (Borzalom) were among those who were stiffed...

Over the next few weeks, I personally was sitting with my sell order at 1 satoshi, hoping to get my investment back. But, the daily purchases became less and less as days passed and then they stopped completely. This is when I decided to take a shot in the dark to try to find the DEV (I was still unaware of what really happened) and I wrote the following post on the thread I found for Bitmox:



Next I sent him a private message... of which I will show the first two I sent him:



Then after a few more PM's back and forth and a bit of teamwork on the forum, we began communicating directly through Skype. This eventually lead us to the point we are at now, which is an official assembly of the CORE DEVELOPMENT TEAM for the NEW BITMOX (XBY) COIN.

More people and more ideas are welcome, so please contact me to discuss.

As for the skin we have in the game... Well, as mentioned above, we are the same as any other investor but now we are also investing time. We want to do everything possible to make this coin a success and what I have learned is that Borzalom is a good man, with strong ethics, a brilliant mind and a desire to create something great for the blockchain world. I too am an open and honest communicator with strong ethics and integrity, along with a desire to help people make money.

So, we do not and cannot make any guarantees at this point, other than we are going to try our best.

We also do not ask that you trust us because we know trust is gained over time as we reach milestones...

All we ask is that you have patience and if you have ideas, to let us know. We will share everything we can as we go.

Thank you for your time!

Stay tuned...

Obviously ENGLISH is not his first language, but thank you for pointing that out!! Your contribution is VERY helpful. I will not bother to dissect what you have written because its really just a waste of time to point out flaws in other peoples work. But hey.... thanks for the best wishes!! Your future contributions are always welcome but let's try to remain on the positive side because we are all here as a result of a scam and as such have dealt with enough negativity. Any suggestions for a proper and more noteworthy ANN are welcome. Thanks!!

The original XBY project was a scam. We were all scammed... How and why is not important now. What is important is that some people with the required abilities, desires and determinations got scammed by the original devs and now we are coming together to form a new legitimate project. Stay tuned... but please come to the new thread @ https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1793468.new#new and CLOSE THIS ONE!!

Borzalom is an investor, like myself and many others. An effort has started and together we are working on getting this coin fixed. Please join us on the new thread as posted above by Borzalom. My personal communications with Borzalon reveal a person with sufficient years of experience to repair the programming issues and I fully expect this will occur. Long term, we need more people to become investors and we also need the other scammed investors to become aware of what is happening now. Good luck to all of us and thank you for your support!!

I agree... Building credibility is very important now.

After reading recent posts from above, I like how this is shaping up. Now we just need more people to get involved.

Are you guys just here to make fun of the situation or are you willing to work towards a solution for the coin?

What is happening with this project? I am here to help resurrect it... Contact me please and lets get the show on the road with an effective game plan. This message is for devs and fellow investors. I see no reason why this cannot be done properly and given some value. Let's get the show on the road!! Thanks in advance for your participation and responses.
