Should I add "working" on that? ))  Besides , the principles are the same.

the one that is 50% premined? aha

I wonder if this coin would be going farther than it is now, if there wasn't a group of blathering morons bloating the thread with meaningless accusations that could apply to any other coin.

Got even any plans to the future?

Got even any plans to the future?

Sure there are plans. You have sth speciffic on your mind?

You can help us by voting on https://cryptsy.freshdesk.com/support/discussions/topics/4000000039/ and also post here about contacts with other exchanges you may have made. We are contacting now OpenEx also, but without support from the community these things take ages and it's normal.

Right now there is a need for logo, coin design, accepting the coin in exchanges and, of course, mining. The more ppl mine the coin, the more people will have ammounts of it available for trade when the moment comes.

So if you have an idea, share it. If you have a design sample, send it.

Right now there is a bounty on the first page about the design:

Logo contest
 Bounty: 1000 XDC  for the winner
            200 XDC  for the second place

[ShadowOfScales]

I actually like the existing logo, perhaps a higher resolution, more detailed version is in order, rather than a completely different one?
Edit:
I also suggest we apply for Cryptorush, Mintpal, and Coinedup

Cryptsy will only mean the death of this coin, due to market manipulators in such a huge exchange, if we do not have several other exchanges first.

I see what you mean. There is a suggestion for addition sent to https://crycurex.com too. I'll take a look at the exchanges you mention. In fact everyone of us can suggest the coin and promote it to the exchanges. Even if we do it at the same time (unless we're kind of flooding the exchanges' websites, but it's unlikely).

As for the logo -- I meant that there is still a contest running. I don't know if the devs have chosen one, maybe there is still just one contester, I don't know.

BTW, one way of promoting is coming up with some really cool ideas about contests and bounties -- if anyone has an idea, he can start the competition right away. No need for approval from the devs, you know... and AFAIK they are now debugging some things serverwise, so we can go on with the coin promotion.

If you have any plan for promotion, let me know. I think I can help you guys to promote this coin in the community of China

Why not. it sure would not hurt if it got to an exchange over there.

https://www.mintpal.com/voting， vote XDC！

[soudgn]

Where can Exchange?

https://www.mintpal.com/voting， vote XDC！

You had a typo in the url, I guess this is the right one: https://www.mintpal.com/voting

[turint]

Where can Exchange?

Still there is no exchange site accepting XDC. Several exchanges have been contacted though.

In the mean time, you could trade in the forum, AFAIK it is possible to announce that you are selling or buying.

Now, http://pool.xedoscoin.com is operational too.
The share difficulty is set very low, so please direct here low power CPU miners for now and we can hit some blocks.

for GPU there is http://xed.argakiig.us/ which is VARDIFF and your GPU mining will be more profitable here.

Thanks turint for translations, Hashpersec addition etc.
Now the network hashrate estimation will be visible on each pool after git pulling . Good Job!

I think the china promotion need some fund too. May be address for bounty must be set.
turint - can you set one bounty address? From me - 1000XDC for this iniciative. It's fair to collect some money for this because it's important step.
I will be pleased to see XDC on guogao for ex. in one future moment in time.

I will update the first post with the pools and eventualy donation address for China promotion.

Hey Dev, I recall Cryptorush will add any coin for 0.25BTC, perhaps our small community, can together add to a pot, to gather enough coins for this?

we could try...

Thanks for that info.
I'm sure - we can collect this ammount without great efforts, but when the marketing and promotion have done, many exchanges will want to have XDC.
We can setup our exchange too, but this is additional work and I prefer to hit one good exchage.
The only reason to hit exchange is to have estimation of the price. But for 2 weeks old coin this is not so important.  
Think - we have good name, nice algo, limited supply, block halving targeted to November-December. Perfect - for china people for ex.
I will work on this direction.
Coin logo improvement is also on the focus

I'm offering 2 more Xedoscoin pools hosted in different parts of the world so we have more geolocation balanced net:

http://xdc.plasr.com/ -- this is in Singapore and should be faster for connections from Asia
http://rainforest.lindeas.com/xdc/ -- a small server in Europe (Ireland)

Both are vardiff at the moment but maybe the European pool (the second one in this list) will get some restrictions, because it is a small machine and I'm not sure it will hold a DoS-like GPU interest.

Let's all head first to the two pools 1Lef posted about -- the official pool http://pool.xedoscoin.com (for CPU) and the argakiig one http://xed.argakiig.us (for GPU) and later if someone from Asia or Europe wants can try these two pools here.
