[ANN] [XEL] :: XEL - The Decentralized Supercomputer ::

[jeffthebaker]

Alright I'm not complaining about having to wait, but I do want to point out the deal with the "donation". The whole "donation" phrasing came into effect midway through the ico. When I invested into XEL, there was nothing indicating my investment was a donation. Donation disclaimers and country restrictions, among other legal jargon, was not implemented at the start of the sale, when myself, as well as many others, invested their coins.

Donation, from my point of view, is a term that got thrown around to protect the creator who went Mia shortly later.

Hi Jeff,

I tried to reconstruct everything and found out that on 9 Mar 2016 there already was a donation phrase on the website back then. Most likely (I am not sure, but I really believe) that the transition occured somewhere around 24 February 2016, so I guess the donation disclaimer was not read by people that came before 24th of February.

That would make a total of around 29 BTC affected. What does the community suggest here? Reading all these complaints over and over again here, what would be the community's preferred way to democratically handle it? I personally am pissed off by this discussion, If I would be the one to decide (which I am clearly not) I would somehow come up with 29 BTC, send them back and just erase the associated XEL once for all!

Hey EK,

It was not my intention to stir the pot or create any sort of animosity through my points about the donation term. I've been following the progress actively on the old thread (and now this one) for quite some time, and I am very excited with everything you and other members of the community have done to bring this project to where it is now.

Clearly this discussion is counter-productive towards the continued development and proliferation of XEL. I want nothing but the best for this project, and do not feel that I represent a different group because I deposited prior to the donation disclaimer.

I apologize for scathing comments made in regards to the topic. I will refrain from such sentiments from here on out.

Launch is planned at 17 June 2017 14:00 UTC. Note that this date can change if something urgent will happen to fix. Especially if there will be need for hard fork (we don't need and don't want any HF before launch).

Above date is currently safe date to launch litewallet. Most probably it will happen on that date.

Congratulations to all people involved!
This is a great moment, and one of many that are going to come soon.
Elastic has the best team and the biggest potential.

Thanks unvoid!

I also just update the reddit r/XEL
I think you also have moderate rights

Also there are heavy promotions of SONM on facebook. Maybe we should consider this also in the future.

@unvoid - are you going to update the below with final instructions how to set up Elastic main net node before the launch?

Great work unvoid and everyone else who are helping to bring this project to fruition!
Now we can spread the word to the world so others will take interest and join the effort.
Let's leave all the marginal chatter behind us and focus on the future of this great project.
We are a great community and no one will change this fact! NO ONE!
Elastic is a rare example of how crypto can be in it's finest and as such will get it's time in the sun!
Super excited about this!

Agreed. And I hope you'll continue to lift the baby up to your supple, milk-engorged bosoms and breastfeed the baby until after it's teethed and can chew solid food. Hah

This is probably a stupid question, but I take it everything that happens in the testnet won't translate to the mainnet? What is the purpose of the faucet if distribution is 100% to donators? This will disappear when mainnet comes online, I guess? It's a cool project and I have high hopes.

History in the making, congrats to all involved. Diligence and perseverance was definitely needed to get where this project is today. Even though I was against the lite-wallet, this is a big step forward.

I have the same question, but I will use what's there now.  I will be running an AWS EC2 Elastic node in Tokyo and Seoul with 10,000 coins each to support the network.  These 2 regions are becoming important markets for cryptos.
