No, not really. XBC has been under attack from dumpers (bots?) trying to drive the price down so I'm very wary with price predictions. I can however tell you that we have a number of initiatives in the works and that we hope that that will take XBC to a higher valuation. We're executing on our plans; this is the best we can do to combat the low price. As for when this will happen or what the price will be, your guess is as good (probably even better) than mine.

can someone explain to me what exactly I need to do in my wallet so it starts staking? I had money in there for a week or so, the wallet is encrypted and unlocked, but everytime the client is closed it locks itself back up again and I don't see any interest or anything. I'm not entirely sure how this thing works so please help me out here.

You should remain your wallet unlocked, online  and open, in order for it to have the chance to stake.

[HeaDeKBaT]

Oh so it must be always running? I didn't realize that. Also does the wallet have to be encrypted?

Honorcoin and their plan to implement Anonymity in every single Altcoin

Pls OP remove this one for unrelated posting.
Thanks

It just need to be unlocked, open and running online.

[helping hands]

There are only three coins above us on MP that seem to be moving. 

I think we'll be in the top 4 in a day or two.

To generate POS blocks you have to be connected to the network, so yes, the wallet needs to be running for any reward generation to happen. Remember, these blocks are what is keeping the network secure and verifying transactions.

Encryption is simply for wallet security. Unlocking is what is needed for your coins to enter maturity and be ready for staking.

Honorcoin and their plan to implement Anonymity in every single Altcoin

From the page you linked to:

They have come up with a solution that is not open source, and they are not willing to share it with the rest of the coins, and teach how to implement it.

No thank you then. I won't store my money on non-open source.

I think it means drk and the others anon features aren't open sourced, but theres plans to be... isn't bitcoin already like 10x more anon then using your banks online interact or visa anyways??

I mean a low volume coin like xbc might want to be anon eventually if we get it to it's potential value... lol like in 5 years if bitcoins are worth 5,000 then xbc could be worth a heck of a lot more, for now I just want to see a stable growth and trust built back up so we can get back to what it was and continue on from there

PS those stakes taste great

Why do you want it to be anon? If XBC (or any coin for that matter) is worth a lot and you buy a USD 100K BMW with it, what good does anon do you? Your car is still registered to your name, so there's no doubt about the fact that it's yours. Even if you register it to your wife/girlfriend/aunt/whatever, the tax authorities can come to her and ask her where the money is from. I don't know about the US, but in many European countries, if you live in a million dollar house, drive a very expensive car, etc, but don't have an official income to match the expenses required for your lifestyle, the tax authorities will eventually inquire how you're paying for it and where the money came from.

I think anon is overrated because as soon as you buy a tangible real good (car, house, etc) with your anon funds, you're on record anyhow. And if you want to buy a bag of weed in a state/country where that is illegal, you might as well just pay cash. Sell a share of XBC, convert to bitcoin and withdraw from a bitcoin ATM (they'll be coming soon) and you have your anonymity.

Anon is god, understand it :

For example insurance companies will look into what you bought...
They see a paragliding set, a bear-slaughter equipment bought with BTC all from 1 wallet- imagine what happens- you get a call and have to pay more fees, 'cause they know your dangerous lifestyle now better.

There was a thread with 1000 examples, maybe I find it again.

Please find that thread, because right now your example doesn't apply to 99% of the population.

I just commented on the anon thing, I don't think it's important for XBC, theres better stuff to do.
We should also use  xbc to get more people into bitcoin in general.

I ordered some dogecards as giveaway ( loaded with 1000 Doge),lets see how that works out.

I don't want to take any more measures to increase my privacy here, and I also don't want any customer profiles of myself.

 can't find thread from yesterday,somebody wrote this:

Associating your address with a set of behavior gives others a reason to attempt to link it back to you.

My english is not ENOUGH to discuss that yunno ^^

The thing is, if the government or any big organization with money wanted to find out your information, they'd find out. All that these anonymous coins do, is make it a bit harder to trace the transactions back to you. All either have central locations of the true transaction identities, or leave a transaction trail that leads back to the original address.

I agree with the first part, that anon tech is not very important for how we're proceeding with XBC. I would much rather we focus on a way to increase stability, increase vendor adoption, and improve our new-user-friendliness.

Our questionnaire is bringing us a great deal of new concepts, I really like where we are headed. We are working up our outlook sheet now and kicking off the next phase of our development. I will be posting a linked PDF hopefully by tomorrow evening detailing everything we decide on. If you haven't provided your own insight yet please check out https://xbcplus.com/community/threads/xbc-public-questionairre.102/ - Each of you has crucial input, we would like to provide results for everybody so please take some time and answer these questions for us.

Jiapetz passed down a nice list of marketing questions for me, I thought I would post the reply here to show you what we are all doing.

1. Do I (they-people-my market) have a problem worth solving? The amount of people aware of cryptocurrency is growing profoundly, this is becoming a huge market but yet still lacks true professionalism. There is a huge focus on the technological innovations, as well as a huge market full of speculative investors buying and selling coins with no true value; it is becoming a game of big winners and big losers and there is very little in this business worth putting true faith into. I believe we (The XBC community) can solve these problems with our team of educated developers who have a history everywhere from the computer software industry, web development, and even accounting and financial analytics. Each member using his own trade skills and contacts will be able to add true value drivers to our currency via not only technological innovation but by also bringing true business practice (i.e. investor whitesheets, outlook statements, investments, and of course bringing in vendors and merchants to accept our coin adding a form of intrinsic value to our currency.
2. What is the single (1) biggest problem I want to solve? As I covered in the prior question, I feel that the primary problem we aim to solve is the disconnect between businesses and cryptocurrency. Cryptocoin development teams seem to emerge and dissipate, promises are made and broken in the name of making a few dollars. Why is this a problem? If you were running a business whether it be selling a product or in the investment industry (which is where my experience lays) would you not be weary about attaching your business to a name that you cannot trust? My aim is to commit to a longstanding group of professionals who all share the vision of etching our names as the most trustworthy group in this business, rather than hoping to make a few bucks this week, we aim to make our profits in the long term while simultaneously benefitting both the cryptocurrency world as well as directly profiting the businesses who get involved with us.

3. Why do I want to solve THIS problem? Personally and Professionally? I have always had a profound love for innovative ideas and all open source community projects, however in this particular realm I see a great problem emerging due to the typical lust for money. Years of effort have been put into bitcoin and its alternatives, and without the right minds stepping in from a non technical, business perspective it may ultimately fail. From a professional viewpoint, I see a burgeoning market that the mainstream may not yet be aware of, we need to tap its full potential and bring businesses in early on; I feel the return on these early investments will be enormous given the right group of professionals step in today.

4. What do I think it's going to provide? I’m certain given the proper resources XBC is going to bring a trustworthy, reputable name to the table with which both investors, merchants, and distributors will look to as a channel to increase exposure and ultimately income. If we can solve the above mentioned problem then we will easily stand out as the primier cryptocoin for which business will place their trust and ultiamtely money. In all of my years in professional business I have always looked for niche markets that I believe are going to catch the public eye as creating relationships and attachments in this phase is very cost effective from an investment perspective. Standing now on the side of the XBC team I am certain that anybody who can see our merit that is willing to contribute to our cause will see big results in the long term. In the end everything comes down to dollars and cents; we believe XBC will bring a great deal of exposure to both the small business owner all the way up to large corporations who are willing to attach their name to ours.

5. What are the issues they are dealing with around this problem? The crypto community at large is seemingly very scarred, on a daily basis as the lead developer of Bitcoin Plus I am constantly faced with a barrage of questions from very anxious and nervous investors. No matter how much proof we provide that we are here for the long haul – to this point (nearly 40 days after we have taken the head of this coin) there is always a hint of distrust in the air, they are very used to being lied to and used to make a few dollars in the short term. With time however, many of these very people have converted their viewpoints to our side and not only are showing trust in us but joining our ranks, I believe these conversions of faith are a necessary triumph for us which will ultimately be our selling point to break into the public eye as a worthy investment.
6. What is their (investor/market) present state of mind, feelings, conversations, beliefs around this problem? The current state of mind with many investors out there now is to invest, hold briefly, get out and be happy with short term gains. This problem exists due to limited funding and a very large spread throughout the marketplace, this creates an ease of control on the marketplaces allowing the few with large sums of money to bring up the price to their selling point and dump their investments – effectively destroying faith and killing coins one after another. I hear consistently that once a coin has “dumped” it will never recover, however in an open market anything can happen; so this belief is ultimately incorrect.

7. What is their (investor/market) desired state of mind, feelings, conversations, beliefs around this problem? It is clear through constant conversation within both our XBC community and the crypto world at large that these investors are looking for a place they can put their money while comfortably going to sleep at night knowing they will not suffer drastic losses in the long haul. While our coin has gone through these typical motions of market sway and play, we aim to show these investors that their desires are possible; all it takes is a team who is willing to continue working. I’ve researched many coins and find that after this “dump” phase occurs, their core teams become disheartened and abandon the project. This is actually a phase that the majority of physical businesses find themselves in, there is a phase of high morale and joy when it is new and the vision for the perfect future is in place; however when the big picture becomes obvious, many aspiring business owners fold. I believe that by staying true to our vision and by not laying down our project but rather doubling our efforts and truly analyzing and adapting to what needs to be done – we will provide these investors with what they are truly aiming for.

Just making a follow-up since this has been mentioned that it will be posted within the last few days and no news on this yet.
Thanks.
