Hey there, I try to take as much time as I can to respond to posts like this. XBC has clearly gained the steam it currently has as a direct response to a huge community involvement. I agree there are a few things that should have been provided sooner (specifically the website) but rest assured we have multiple team members working on it. I put my reputation on the line getting involved with this coin and have proven to be absolutely backed by honesty with every promise I made for this coin. I personally destroyed nearly half of the entire market of coins yesterday morning as a direct response to an overwhelming vote.
Proof of the destruction:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=549485.msg6503627#msg6503627I have been working on nearly zero sleep all week responding to everybody I can and organizing building this coin from the ground up. We already have multiple members dedicating incredible amounts of hours to piece this together.
-I have been working on a completely overhauled wallet, I wasn't happy with the original we were left with so we scrapped it and decided to build one from scratch to make sure everything is secure. I personally worked on this wallet, had it tweaked by another dev, and now sawedoff and his folks over at #CGAnomaly are also tweaking it, these people can all vouch for my honesty.
-You can speak to anybody on poloniex, including moderators and they will likely all vouch that I have thus far kept every single promise I've made - Including reimbursing them for a loss of thousands of dollars worth of XBC.
-We are launching a full blown PR campaign, I hired on a partner to help organize the community and assign everybody vested into this to a helpful role whether it be moderating our social network pages, blogging, creating graphic arts, videos, responding to each and every question.. you name it.
-I have been reaching out to countless merchandise distributors from clothing to computer hardware trying to organize group purchases to host using XBC as a medium; with the goal of eventually growing it into a self sufficient product line + merchant channel.
-We have been negotiating with kickstart fundraiser providers to add XBC as a donation currency, laser etched aluminum debit cards, there should be an Android wallet within the next week. There is honestly too much to list and we will get everything we can possibly achieve done. All we ask is that anybody who is interested gets on board and helps us out.. You can hold half a coin and we wholeheartedly welcome you, I ask everybody what kind of talent they have and we raise funds to tip each other for nearly everything.
-The website will be live in no more than two days also containing our official forum which will be used to organize and make publically viewable each and every plan we have moving forward. You can also join
https://webchat.freenode.net/ and join #XBC to speak to us, you can directly PM me here with any questions, comments, or concerns. I also respond to each and every message I get on IRC in a timely manner to the best of my ability. Anybody that has spoken to me directly will vouch for that.
-I have received a multitude of messages regarding a scandal with AsiaCoin; my understanding is that they modified their blockchain explorer to hide a premine. If true that is absolutely wrong, I don't have the heart to pull something like that off. I invite anybody to host their own blockchain using this open source explorer:
https://github.com/bitcoin-abe/bitcoin-abe-I have also been receiving questions about our current wallet containing a max coin limit of 5,000,000. This is because this is a POS wallet, staking will begin in a couple of days. With my new wallet release I have reduced this amount to 500,000 which would be realized in approximately 25 years if everybody stakes their coins. We cannot set the max coins to the 100,000 that currently exist and have more coins generated through staking.
In closing, I only ask parties not to be swayed by people who try to tear this coin apart without ever having spoken a word to me. Jump on our IRC and get involved with us, we have tons of projects and bounties are plentiful and growing. I paid out over $100 worth of this coin to the first user to simply clean up our OP in the ann thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=549485.0 , I started an XBC community projects wallet and still have 110 remaining.. I would love ideas for what to spend these on.. I like seeing growth of any kind to our community.. you can even PM me something you can do to help us and a reasonable price in XBC and I'll be all ears.
Cheers
