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

[by rallier]

I saw this question on the Slack... it didn't get any answers and I have the same question myself so I thought I'd copy and paste it here:

hi all, i am really interested in this project but i am wondering - who "owns" elastic, i.e. not just who's the dev but who is going to be the "face" for elastic. the reason i ask is because i know that to get on bittrex, someone will need to verify their identity

I doubt Elastic devs will allow to disclose their identities, so if that's the requirement from exchange, then the exchange will probably lose their part of the precious fees from Elastic trading.
If Elastic market will be big enough I'm pretty sure such exchange will have to make an exception and list Elastic anyway, or they will just earn nothing.
After all, no one was requiring Satoshi ro reveal himself in order to get BTC listed right?

no body "owns" elastic...it is an open source project..anyone can join, contribute or be a part of it

You guys do realize that if nobody takes "ownership" of Elastic (i.e. nobody wants to reveal their identity) then that prevents XEL from ever being traded on the only exchanges that matter - Poloniex and Bittrex


It's gonna be kinda hard to hit that 100 million dollar marketcap trading on Yobit and Bitcointalk threads.

I seriously doubt there will be any issue with having the coin listed on a major exchange. With that being said, there are many other trustworthy exchanges (no, not yobit) that can step up to the plate. Tuxexchange is a really nice one, imo. Beyond that, there are decentralized exchanges now. I wouldn't worry about the exchange problems whatsoever.

I am not core dev like @ek, but I am an another contributor. I will apply for exchange.I can share my identity without any worry. I believe to elastic.

Getting listed isn't a gargantuan headache like it used to be. Regardless, Elastic is a project with very strong merits and a great community. I've got full faith that the coin is going to do just fine on launch. Don't see why some are panicking.

[mr.coinzy]

Definitely no reason to worry about exchanges. I have no doubt the coin will be added to many of them over time. We have the tech, the spirit and the community. If we see issues to be added to big exchanges later on we take care of that as the amazing community we are.
This is the elastic revolution! full steam ahead!

Maybe we could ask Yassin and his ydx for the beginning?

I already told him about XEL some weeks ago. He was very interested, but at the moment he seems busy with his "IPO".

I've said the same last year, no one believed me. I checked again with the exchanges (Polo, Bittrex) and yes they need someone fully identified. Yes you have your Bitcoin and your NXT but all exchanges, specifically US ones, have become a lot more strict the last 2 years. Someone with some technical knowledge would ideally take the responsibility to be the (unofficial) lead of the project and fully verifies himself with the exchanges. They need a point of contact and if they need help with the wallet ideally that would be a technical person.

I'm sure Cryptopia should have no problem to list XEL before major exchange list it

That would be great, would be smart to reach out to Bill from Bittrex on Telegram or their slack. They are quite busy though.

The vote was for a lite wallet, that is what we are getting in a few days. There is no rush to get listed on every single exchange right now while Elastic is still being developed but with time sure. It doesn't matter anyway as Elastic is priority not listing on Polo or Trex lol.

Give the devs a break and especially people asking them to verify their identification for listing, that is just ridiculous. It is their choice and they are working hard enough already.

Or are half the people here just waiting to grab as much money as they can from this project after only year?

[PGPpfKkx]

Calm down about prices guys. I remember when ubiq launched everyone thought it would be $1 or a few dollars right at exchange launch. It was $0.02-0.04 at launch. It took a few months but it reached dollars.

are you comparing an eth clone with a new tech?

Learn to read - nobody is asking the devs to reveal their identities now, but any legitimate exchange most certainly will.

Be less focused on exchanges and more on the project my friend. It will happen with time.

Well SONM ICO is today - was thinking of investing for a quick flip but not after reading their bitcointalk thread.  They cancelled the escrow at the last minute and didn't even tell Sebastian Ju - had it not been for him people would have invested thinking they were still protected.  Even if it isn't a scam it looks like highly unprofessional and incompetent behaviour.  Seems all these ICOs are becoming a huge money grab - XEL is a breath of fresh air:

I was sufficiently annoyed to blog about it:

Here is my tweet for it if anyone wants to share:

Bullshit ICOs everywhere. People r dumb as hell.

True and I've been pretty dumb myself a lot of times.  The idea of big profits has a stupifying effect.

[mr.coinzy]

Hehe Damn xel is gonna enter a bloody red market after such a long uptrend..
what goes up must come down and down it goes (although i think the market is still highly inflated).
Regardless, it's great to know we have great devs, solid tech and a very positive community behind and not only needless hot air like some other projects
These are exciting times!

Greed and the fear to miss out a next gem  like XEL for example

@snowboard789 what is your nick on our forum?

[BTCspace]

no need worry about the exchanges.

let's expect the litewallet go alive!

Can Elastic overthrow NiceHash?
