Well, this was the quickest distribution so far.
A sign of an optimized process.

I'm not too familiar with Monero's and X-Cash's tech, all what I know is that you can't see on blockexplorer what's inside a wallet. Whan I don't  understand is what actually you can see on the blockeplorer, in other words where does the privacy end there. Moreover, I know that X-cash is now planning to give users the chance to chose whether to make their transactions public or not - how will that be reflected in the blockexplorer? Will the content of wallets become visible in case of public transactions?

This is a good question
This will be a long post, but I think this needs to be explained in a simple yet still technical way to understand public txs

Public tx were created to solve 2 issues
#1 Allow the user to send public or private tx from the same wallet on the same blockchain
#2 Allow the user to prove who was the sender.

(1) Our public tx allow someone at send time, to make it public to assist them in proving that they paid X person Y amount. That is the purpose we had in mind when building them, since our coin is a privacy blockchain at its core.

(2) Currently on any cryptonote coin their is a way to prove that X amount was sent to Y address, but there is no way to prove what address was the sender and what address was the receiver. You could only prove the addresses and the amounts in that tx, but could not prove which address initiated the transfer.

Example lets use this tx hash as our example (these are my two test accounts I use for testing on the live mainchain)
https://explorer.x-cash.org/Transaction?data=7ecd79d7ead6c2f23cb404409aca01f8c9e30d7b07bcd4e9332a1c4872d1dd93

if you decode this tx for both addresses involved you can see that
XCA1kzoR3ZLNg5zxNmxrY8FYKtgEvPZqC2xoRpm1axCpQcrrZfoKTSkSNsASDspdt3j1WcEnQJyuuB5 VPSB56WWy36A4sQtQhe            got paid              62,995.273
XCA1cH8Qs5hLYnzQTDuJqkJiQEZbgQsUM3BgA6vBod5T5Eindas5sikKJaLbkhM3YBW7PtoJY6BtNLk ZuahksLFX5eSPDcmCLL              got paid                       5




But this does no good in the sense of who is the sender and who is the receiver? We cant tell since in regular cryptonote that is not possible.

But if you go to https://explorer.x-cash.org/Transaction?data=7ecd79d7ead6c2f23cb404409aca01f8c9e30d7b07bcd4e9332a1c4872d1dd93 you can clearly see it will say that
XCA1kzoR3ZLNg5zxNmxrY8FYKtgEvPZqC2xoRpm1axCpQcrrZfoKTSkSNsASDspdt3j1WcEnQJyuuB5 VPSB56WWy36A4sQtQhe            sent        5      to

So how we can tell this is accurate? well you can use a function to verify the sender
https://explorer.x-cash.org/VerifySender?public_address=XCA1kzoR3ZLNg5zxNmxrY8FYKtgEvPZqC2xoRpm1axCpQcrrZfoKTSkSNsASDspdt3j1WcEnQJyuuB5VPSB56WWy36A4sQtQhe&tx_private_key=4a5fb3c39caf223eacfe4bcc2db84811c333b52ea30df5c16a6d62b0163cce0b&tx_signature=SigV1Fog4nV3sThaLbVDQDnyo2xSNt4Qx4vZz5Ln1AAz3CJe3NVWJzuorWRzR7WTV4FxtycjccJ2DLdkSDWES8bPDUQvK



We will be releasing a yellow paper on public tx soon.







As for the question about does your balance get revealed on the explorer now.
In our public tx we kept two aspects of privacy (ringCT and stealth addresses)
this allows for two things
#1 the balance cant be shown
#2 the inputs of the tx are not shown (meaning no one can go back in the explorer and see that X address sent you those funds that you spent public) This is the major non privacy aspect of Bitcoin.

We felt that these two things still needed to be in public TX to still keep the privacy of the sender

(1) https://explorer.x-cash.org/TXSearchResults?data=public_address%7CXCA1cH8Qs5hLYnzQTDuJqkJiQEZbgQsUM3BgA6vBod5T5Eindas5sikKJaLbkhM3YBW7PtoJY6BtNLkZuahksLFX5eSPDcmCLL
as you can see, you can see all the PUBLIC tx I have made and received but not any of my PRIVATE tx show up


again looking at the balance it shows I received 122 XCASH yet my balance right now on this test wallet is  56.206675


(2) looking at our example tx https://explorer.x-cash.org/Transaction?data=7ecd79d7ead6c2f23cb404409aca01f8c9e30d7b07bcd4e9332a1c4872d1dd93
we can see we still have the mixins, meaning you cant see from which input I spent or received the actual XCASH from.






I have also included all of the pictures I took for this post at https://imgur.com/a/iWm2iVQ
you can also look at the 2 pictures for decoding and verifying a tx in the CLI wallet, to show that our explorer is accurate.



I hope this clarifies public tx at least the purpose, privacy, use case, and mechanics of them.

Thanks for this asnwer which is truly excellent indeed. I'll now impatiently wait for the yellow paper for getting a n even better understanding.

Antivirus warns about the windows GUI wallet.
Anyone else experienced ?
What alternatives do I have ?

 Excluded folder and exclude it in antivirus so it doesn't delete stuff it shouldn't. It has an exe, Antivirus thinks its something - false positive if its from official github. + Use another browser if it forbids you to download.

You need the transaction ID, Address and transaction view-key to decode your transaction.

Thank you XCASH Team! October airdrop received. For those who did not received yet just please be patient. Your share will be there in your wallet soon. Airdrop distrbution not yet finish. Good luck guys! Register now on the website for November's airdrop.

Syncing with an official remote node is the fastest option.

First, make sure you have the latest version of the X-CASH Wallet (1.4.1).
Download page
 (https://x-cash.org/downloads/)Official Github
 (https://github.com/X-CASH-official/X-CASH/releases/)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
1. Add the X-CASH folder to your anti-virus exclusions/whitelist.
2. Run the X-CASH_GUI_Wallet.exe file as administrator.
3. Either create, restore or open an existing wallet file.
4. On Daemon settings, select option #2 [Connect to an official remote node from the list].
5. Select the closest remote node to your current location.
(i.e EUSEED3.X-CASH.ORG:18281 - France - Paris).
6. Press Start and let your wallet synchronize.

List of official remote nodes (https://x-cash.org/remotenodes/):

USSEED1.X-CASH.ORG:18281 - USA - Oregon
USSEED2.X-CASH.ORG:18281 - USA - Virginia
EUSEED1.X-CASH.ORG:18281 - Germany - Frankfurt
EUSEED3.X-CASH.ORG:18281 - France - Paris
ASIASEED2.X-CASH.ORG:18281 - Singapore

Here in Russia where I'm travelling right now all of this surely does not work for me, there is no way I can get a wallet to sync on my laptop, no matter how much I try and I wait. I hope you realize that if you are looking for some success for X-cash these often-reported issues with getting the wallet to work are pure poison for the project. People are used to wallets which are working smoothly, a wallet with a cryptocurrency is supposed to SOLVE your problems, not to CREATE you problems.

New Fresh 3Million Xcash landed on my wallet Distribution is over, Looking forward for the next round distributions. Will do more promotions to gather more referrals for the Airdrop.

[ryzaadit]

Receive X-cash from October Airdrop, will waiting again for November Airdrop Result. I will try to promote X-cash to more other people. Would be nice if we got some campaign for Signcamp or maybe Vote exchange to gain more attention for X-cash

[Xsinx]

@xcashdevs Any plans of launching a signature campaign here at bitcointalk? My current campaign are ending soon and looking for a good project as a replacement for my current sig space

Well some community try to sugest this campaign to the developer, and they already say will be thingking about that a few month ago. No new news about other campaign like Signature Campaign or other campaign.

📣:  A new version (0.1. of our web wallet is working and available here: https://wallet.x-cash.org/ 📣
What’s new:
✅ Added RingCT more than 2 support;
✅ Database has been reconfigured and moved to clouds 
✅ Some internal server configurations and common improvements

Please, remember the following:
1) This is the Alpha version of the wallet. It may have some downtime and/or other types of issues. We can’t provide any stability for it because we are still working on it.
2) The wallet status is satisfactory given it is an alpha version and that all workforce is now pointed towards x-bank finalization.
3) The web-wallet backend database does not store your Private Keys, 25-words seeds, etc! Be careful when using it and keep your credentials in safe places!

PS Yes, it's required to import the whole TX history again after the update
