Don't forget to join the xel discord! It's where all action takes place!!!

https://discord.gg/t4Jn2a

Now probably the most relevant service is discord. I have very often noticed that the latest and fastest news get out.

I agree discord channel is good and getting even better also more people joins which is great.

Did Elastic do an ICO? If so I'm having trouble finding info on the token sale details. Also I believe it was forked from Bitcoin. Is this correct?

It's not a BTC fork.
They didn't an ICO but a donation (pretty similar, it's just about terms & law). If I remember, about 600BTC were collected.

I was pretty sure it was. What is it then?

I'm not sure at all, but I think they took NXT as working base.
Maybe someone can confirm ?

It's based on NXT, isn't it? I don't remember how many BTC were collected but you're definetely right when you're saying that "initial funding" was made trough donations, no Initial Coin Offerings

thank you very much for sharing. I really like how the Discord channel is growing.

which website are you referring to ? xel.org? I have some problems with the handling when scrolling down/up since the menu bar is disappearing

Do you have any info about the other website xeline or something like that ? I did not hear any about them recently

Who can tell me when there will be forging in the application. Maybe it already appeared and I just can not activate it? I have been trying for a long time to do it.

It is there is already. You can see forging status in uppper menu:

http://prntscr.com/kq0ys4

You can on and off it by pressing on forging label.

But forging is still to support the network and testing purposes right know isn't it ? or does it actually lead to some kind of rewards ? Anyway if it supports the network i will try to set one up.

Forging makes new blocks, so yes it is necessary for the network to function and exist. In reward the forging account gets transaction fees.
The more nodes in the network the better. If you want to support XEL you should definitely set up and run one.

It leads to rewards when transactions areincluded in the blocks. There is no base block reward.
And since most blocks are empty, you'll not be getting that much.

But still, it would be nice if you keep forging

I am interested in investing in 'decentralized supercomputer' project like Elastic itself, but as we know Elastic is not only one of a kind,
could you provide me some info, some comparision between simialr projects? And could you tell me why Elastic is the best ? :-)

Listing exchange! ! !

Good news!

VSX is there but XEL hasn't been listed. Anyone knows why...?

[engagingshadowy]

I feel XEL is Blockchain unique supercomputer that you can calculate whatever you want. I first knew about the XEL two types of payment and I am very curious to learn about it more.

Is there still hope around here; its beginning to appear more like a dead fish in the water; what happened here? Been holding for sometime now hoping the value would go up; but unfortunately no; I am begin to assume that my coins will remain worthless. I am well aware that the market is experiencing a crash but this is too bad, bought at above $1 and the current ex. rate is $0.07, heard that; $0.07. Devs should do something; also update the website on CMC; still linked to https://www.elastic.pw/

The devs for any crypto have near zero influence on the value of their token once it is traded by the public. "I am well aware that the market is experiencing a crash but this is too bad" As long as there are traders still in profit, there are still sellers so although the price for many cryptos are low they can still go a lot lower. If this drop is really affecting you I would stop looking at the daily prices for a few months to a few years.

Understanding your despair is understandable, but if you bought Elastic at $1 it's probably because you were convinced by it and not by technology! Elastic is a super project that has been developed since 2016! The developers who took over the project because the previous dev fled with the funds raised, they had no incentive and do it precisely because they created a strong community and a great willingness to deliver something and make XEL to be applied in people's lives! It's inhuman to charge you guys who work on other things and still indulge in Elastic! Like any other pre-operating product, there will be no value without the absence of it! Take this opportunity and increase your position in XEL! So, I think that you will hardly find these price levels in the coming months.
