[XBC] BitcoinPlus Official Thread

[ymalikov]

Please vote on poll above.The sooner we get this out of the way the sooner we can get back to work.From a personal point of view I am voting for the first option (A) after having discussions with our developers over the last few weeks.

I can't vote either - however option A sounds better - allowing direct (atomic) swaps with btc would be beneficial.

Poll will remain open until the 24th of november.

Segwit and CSV and all soft forks are going to be backward compatible so anyone wanting to use the old native tor wallet for their transactions without these updates should still be able to do so.

[Mysticus]

Let's do a hardfork and create two coins:  Bitcoin Plus Segwit & Bitcoin Plus TorCash.  Everyone satisfied.

   just kidding, of course.

I'm not sure myself which way to go is the best. By the way, I don't even know what is 'CSV' and what it entails for the coin's future - if you could explain in a few words.

I sense that the dev team prefer the Segwit road, which could provide for a new, challenging experience and offer new opportunities in the future.
I would tend to support what the team and devs foresee as being the best for XBC.

It's true that it would be a rather unique experiment to have a POS coin with Segwit integration.  
And keeping the old native tor wallet functional and compatible for those who prefer this option could be a reasonable compromise.

Yes I agree i think think this is the way to go.

CheckSequenceVerify (CSV).

CSV allows users to block selected bitcoins for a specific period of time, resulting in that after this period the coins will be unlocked for transactions. The main difference of CSV protocol from another solution, called CheckLockTimeVerify (CLTV), is that the latter locks coins until a specified moment in time while CSV lock is relative and applies only after the transaction is included in a block. Thus, CSV implementation will provide greater flexibility in transactions and ability to create more advanced smart contracts etc.

It  is set to improve the Bitcoin protocol. For example-a long-awaited fix of transaction malleability.CSV lock is relative and applies only after the transaction is included in a block.As a result CSV implementation gives more flexibility in transactions.

This is useful for Payment Channels which are great for micropayments or for fast payments.

What for effects on XBC do you expect in the three different results, A, B and C?
Thanks

Option A will allow us to get to 0.13 version a lot faster than if we were to have to go through various BIPS/refactoring etc due to the complexity of the native coded in Tor part.

Option B will make things a lot more complicated and time consuming causing a heavier workload and excessive spending without a guarantee the work would produce the required end result.There is a possible risk of conflicts and issues down the line also as the codebase is is not vanilla and every further update may require extra work to accomodate the native part etc.

Option C is basically voting for Option A because I can confirm it is the best choice we can make at this stage after many hours of discussions among us all.

I was wondering if anyone is able to use the OSX wallet on 10.10.5 or higher ?
which version of OSX was the wallet compiled on

Yep no problems with it here. I'm on 10.12.6 and running Bitcoin Plus 2.6 no problem, for quite a while now.

[Wilson623]

XBC has a "terrifying" potential. It can very well rise up to $10,000 or more!!!  

you mean because the current circulating supply is only 103,000 XBC ?

Actually, if Bitcoin Plus were worth 1% of Bitcoin Cash, at today's valuation that would bring it to $2683
it is currently trading for $79...

[Wilson623]

I think it would be healthy for this coin to be on at least one other Real exchange such as Bittrex
Cryptopia being the  "potpourri" of the crypto sphere IMO.

I'v always heard listing a coin on Poloniex is harder than doing so on Bittrex, I think the listing fee is 1 BTC there.

any thought on this ? 

[esprit577]

I saw that the price of the cryptopia suddenly went up a lot yesterday, and then it went down, and at the same time polo prices were not moving, feeling that the two markets were separated.

Yes, XBC went above 0.03 on Cryptopia, but nobody took it seriously, that is why another real listing could be interesting.  
ps; trading bots have a lot if impact on low volume coins @ Poloniex

Cryptopia and coinexchange are fine.Many users are having major issues with Bittrex and they also want an upfront $10K fee to cover whatever they imagine are checks without any guarantee of a listing.Thats a non starter.HiBTC are having issues and livecoin want around $24k for a listing with bitcoin at these prices.Poloniex are our primary exchange and we never had any issues for many years now.It speaks for itself.We do continuously update exchanges with our developments but its up to them if they want to list us.Next big thing will be decentralized exchanges so thats the way we want to go.Decentralized exchanges have many advantages unlike some centralized exchanges who can freeze steal peoples coins without warning or go bust overnight

OK fair enough, Obviously DEX are going to be a big thing, as of right now, 99% of the volume is still on centralised exchanges. Are you thinking of a particular DEX for XBC ?

We are planning to list on NVO DEX once it's up an running.They were meant to have their wallet ready a few days ago but seem to be running behind schedule but according to their developer we would have no problem using it once they are live.
