Then don't invest until you have spent your time researching and have understood it. It is not the community's job to feed your narcissism.

good to hear, coming from you!

XC is the most undervalued coin at the moment in the market and best Investement that someone can make at the moment.

Partecipation at the Bitcoin Convention in washington and the New press release are outstanding examples on how this coin is threated as an actual Business with professional future plan to Implement.

The difference in the Business mentality approach of our DEV team and the other Cryptos in the market is astonishing.

But don't take my word for it do your research and you will come to the same conclusion.

This is the best place for smart money right now in the Crypto world period.

With the permission of Teka and Synechist, I have create a XC thread for the Chinese community on Bitcointalk. Please come and show some support even if you don’t speak Chinese.  I think reach out to that part of demographic is instrumental for our growth in the long run.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=659928.0

Thanks ForReal. This is fantastic.

I’m pretty excited about this. There are couple people already joined the QQ group. I will reach out to more Chinese forums in the near future. But let’s build a good solid base here first.

Guys please come to here and show some support in this Chinese XC thread, even if you don’t speak Chinese. Most of the Chinese crypto community have not notice XC yet. Gaining their support will take XC to another level.

Come on, let’s do our part to help out this community.  
“Ask not what your XC community can do for you, ask what you can do for your XC community.”

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=659928.0

hello and thank you for the XC chinese topic, its always nice to see chinese investment opportunities!

Please let them know what XC has been threw, the FUD, the dumps, everything. Inform them that long time holders and rich list are all here since day 1. Tell them that people ride coin waves, then always come back to reinvest more XC. Note that dev and jasinlee currently attend the bitcoinbeltway conference in DC right now, when other altcoins are stil trying to present some shitty whitepaper.

We sort of treat XC here as our small, undervalued bitcoin. I firmly believe we will have our own pizza tale soon enough.

Ya the first thing people ask is why price has fall down 5 times since ATH.  The way I explain to them is that because of the fear from other coins and the FUD they created, early miners panicked dumped in those period. But time has proven that those claims are false and we have a revolutionary innovation and a fantastic development team behind it. We are currently very undervalued

let them know that the price is being manipulated by whales, they can check the charts. Each day the price is being pumped and dumped by about +-5% , and people make some nice btc profits from it.

The price falls that they see hasn't been caused by FUD, or failed promises, or from technical failures. It is not strange for our community to have the dev release a new wallet with innovative features, and see price fall! This is deliberate manipulation. You can check rich list, long time holders and accumulators they either: do small pumps/dumps to make some daily profit, or just buy more XC when price is dumped upon.

Again, don't just justify it urself, encourage them to read page 1 links, and search topic themselves. We know XC is succeeding because of two things:

1) Best developer around, by far
2) Market being manipulated excessively, instead of ur regular one time pump and dump of scam coins

[mig5000]

I have a ton of XC and really like what I see. The price is staying very strong a this price point despite everything that goes around. When a single coin sucks out 5000 BTC in a day, it should affect XC way more than it does, so people are actually selling other coins than XC to be part in these pumps, very good sign, volume is also very low so it seems seller's are draining out.

XC developers to showcase market-leading tech at Bitcoin in the Beltway



XCurrency core developers Dan Metcalf and Jasinlee will attend Bitcoin in the Beltway in Washington this weekend in order to showcase XC’s ground-breaking platform for private transactions, communication, and services.

XCurrency, the flexibly architected currency whose rapid pace of development has been met with a meteoric rise in popularity, is to have a booth at Bitcoin in the Beltway this weekend, giving attendees the first opportunity to meet XC’s core developers and to discuss its market-leading technology.

XC differentiates itself from other altcoin projects with its boldly pragmatic, real-world approach. It will run (and stake) on mobile phones, therefore it must be bloat-free and eminently scalable. It must be POS-integrated. It must be bulletproof. And it must be flexible. Over the past few weeks XC has rocketed toward these objectives by laying the technical foundations for a versatile platform in the form of a live, working wallet that demonstrates its privacy technology to the world. And this technology is ground-breaking.

The quest for “anonymity” has taken centre stage of late in the altcoin community, and at present several technologies aim to achieve it. However anonymity is a formidable technical challenge, and to date proposed solutions have either caused unworkable blockchain bloat, unwieldy transaction times, or have encountered unexpected forking problems. Here is a summary overview of XC’s solution to these problems:

XC is a network of nodes that (a) use end-to-end encryption to support transaction broadcasting, secure messaging, and true P2P anonymous transactions.* (b) Upon this is built an optional mixer that testing has shown** to eliminate any record in the blockchain of a link between sender and receiver. (c) This mixer is a revolutionary “multi-path” implementation that employs multi-sig to route fragments of transactions down separate paths through the network, compounding anonymity while adding redundancy and security.

No bloat
Several projects’ anonymising strategies currently have an unworkable blockchain bloat problem. Technologies like ring signatures and zero-knowledge proofs currently lack a way of avoiding this. XCurrency uses standard transactions, but multi-path then achieves an extremely high level of privacy with a high degree of prunability, avoiding bloat.

No (semi-) centralisation
Because every XC wallet can function as a node, XC avoids what Bitcoin core developer Gregory Maxwell has recently called a security “chokepoint”*** in the use of semi-centralised nodes to forward transactions. This strategy is compounded by the need to hold a very large amount of coins in order for a node to function – a problem which is resolved by the small, random transaction sizes of multi-path architecture.

No prisoners’ dilemma
Building privacy upon Bitcoin-based technologies by forwarding transactions is problematic because malicious actors can steal transactions instead of forwarding them. Furthermore they can snoop on the broadcasting system and publish the identities of senders and receivers. XC resolves these issues through multi-sig and through end-to-end message encryption.

Not limited to only payments
Bitcoin’s elegance may be its greatest strength, but it introduces significant challenges in implementing additional blockchain-based functions, like secure messaging and decentralised cloud storage. XC’s “platform” approach incorporates this objective from the outset. As such, XC represents a comprehensively architected Blockchain 2.0 implementation.

Development plan and testing
Though XC’s technology is real and free to download, several aspects of it are undergoing early testing. As such it should be treated as a beta release, and proportionate care taken with one’s funds when using it. In the coming months the cryptographic community will be invited to test it to its limits, and there will be a sizable bounty offered to anyone who can provably break XC's anonymity.


XCurrency is a four-week-old cryptographic platform for flexible digital transactions that has undergone a meteoric rise in popularity. Due to its newness there is currently a lack of technical documentation of its design, although in the coming weeks XC will publish its development plan and provide dates upon which this can be expected to be delivered. Given this, this article is not intended to be a technical explanation or formal defense of the viability of XC’s technology, and as such makes no claim of providing “proof” of this. Note also that XC is committed to the open source model. Open source code is vital for the health and advancement of cryptographic technologies, and so XC will make code available on a delayed timeline. This way, the community will derive the benefit of XC’s ground-breaking technologies, while the delay means that the incentive for developers to flood the marketplace with clones that lack a long term future and reduce the trustworthiness of the altcoin phenomenon is reduced.

Synch, has this been distributed via a paid for press release service?

If not I would like to pledge $500 in BTC for a paid press release that gets delivered to premium financial sites like Wall Street Journal, yahoo finance etc. I know a service that will hit a ton of top sites and get lots of indexing on search engines like google and yahoo.

In the press release we can also embed images and file attachments like pdfs and even a video if we want. We can also link to the a news section of the XC site so people can keep informed (lots of people won't know about bitcointalk).

We haven't got to rush this and can spend time preparing it carefully.

I will cover the cost of the release and send you the BTC in advance. In terms of constructing the release and the content I will leave that to you and the rest of the XC team. I am impressed with how you put everything across. We may need to "dumb it down" slightly though, so it doesn't go too far over everyone's heads. My only input is that in the article we make a small comparison at some point to Bitcoin (something a lot of people know) and highlight the strength of proof of stake, XC anonymity etc. Comparing to things the public know already will be a fruitful approach.

I will discuss the company I would like us to use and anything else over PM.

Please message me.

hello and thank you for the XC chinese topic, its always nice to see chinese investment opportunities!

Please let them know what XC has been threw, the FUD, the dumps, everything. Inform them that long time holders and rich list are all here since day 1. Tell them that people ride coin waves, then always come back to reinvest more XC. Note that dev and jasinlee currently attend the bitcoinbeltway conference in DC right now, when other altcoins are stil trying to present some shitty whitepaper.

We sort of treat XC here as our small, undervalued bitcoin. I firmly believe we will have our own pizza tale soon enough.

Ya the first thing people ask is why price has fall down 5 times since ATH.  The way I explain to them is that because of the fear from other coins and the FUD they created, early miners panicked dumped in those period. But time has proven that those claims are false and we have a revolutionary innovation and a fantastic development team behind it. We are currently very undervalued

let them know that the price is being manipulated by whales, they can check the charts. Each day the price is being pumped and dumped by about +-5% , and people make some nice btc profits from it.

The price falls that they see hasn't been caused by FUD, or failed promises, or from technical failures. It is not strange for our community to have the dev release a new wallet with innovative features, and see price fall! This is deliberate manipulation. You can check rich list, long time holders and accumulators they either: do small pumps/dumps to make some daily profit, or just buy more XC when price is dumped upon.

Again, don't just justify it urself, encourage them to read page 1 links, and search topic themselves. We know XC is succeeding because of two things:

1) Best developer around, by far
2) Market being manipulated excessively, instead of ur regular one time pump and dump of scam coins

Points well taken

XC developers to showcase market-leading tech at Bitcoin in the Beltway



XCurrency core developers Dan Metcalf and Jasinlee will attend Bitcoin in the Beltway in Washington this weekend in order to showcase XC’s ground-breaking platform for private transactions, communication, and services.

XCurrency, the flexibly architected currency whose rapid pace of development has been met with a meteoric rise in popularity, is to have a booth at Bitcoin in the Beltway this weekend, giving attendees the first opportunity to meet XC’s core developers and to discuss its market-leading technology.

XC differentiates itself from other altcoin projects with its boldly pragmatic, real-world approach. It will run (and stake) on mobile phones, therefore it must be bloat-free and eminently scalable. It must be POS-integrated. It must be bulletproof. And it must be flexible. Over the past few weeks XC has rocketed toward these objectives by laying the technical foundations for a versatile platform in the form of a live, working wallet that demonstrates its privacy technology to the world. And this technology is ground-breaking.

The quest for “anonymity” has taken centre stage of late in the altcoin community, and at present several technologies aim to achieve it. However anonymity is a formidable technical challenge, and to date proposed solutions have either caused unworkable blockchain bloat, unwieldy transaction times, or have encountered unexpected forking problems. Here is a summary overview of XC’s solution to these problems:

XC is a network of nodes that (a) use end-to-end encryption to support transaction broadcasting, secure messaging, and true P2P anonymous transactions.* (b) Upon this is built an optional mixer that testing has shown** to eliminate any record in the blockchain of a link between sender and receiver. (c) This mixer is a revolutionary “multi-path” implementation that employs multi-sig to route fragments of transactions down separate paths through the network, compounding anonymity while adding redundancy and security.

No bloat
Several projects’ anonymising strategies currently have an unworkable blockchain bloat problem. Technologies like ring signatures and zero-knowledge proofs currently lack a way of avoiding this. XCurrency uses standard transactions, but multi-path then achieves an extremely high level of privacy with a high degree of prunability, avoiding bloat.

No (semi-) centralisation
Because every XC wallet can function as a node, XC avoids what Bitcoin core developer Gregory Maxwell has recently called a security “chokepoint”*** in the use of semi-centralised nodes to forward transactions. This strategy is compounded by the need to hold a very large amount of coins in order for a node to function – a problem which is resolved by the small, random transaction sizes of multi-path architecture.

No prisoners’ dilemma
Building privacy upon Bitcoin-based technologies by forwarding transactions is problematic because malicious actors can steal transactions instead of forwarding them. Furthermore they can snoop on the broadcasting system and publish the identities of senders and receivers. XC resolves these issues through multi-sig and through end-to-end message encryption.

Not limited to only payments
Bitcoin’s elegance may be its greatest strength, but it introduces significant challenges in implementing additional blockchain-based functions, like secure messaging and decentralised cloud storage. XC’s “platform” approach incorporates this objective from the outset. As such, XC represents a comprehensively architected Blockchain 2.0 implementation.

Development plan and testing
Though XC’s technology is real and free to download, several aspects of it are undergoing early testing. As such it should be treated as a beta release, and proportionate care taken with one’s funds when using it. In the coming months the cryptographic community will be invited to test it to its limits, and there will be a sizable bounty offered to anyone who can provably break XC's anonymity.


XCurrency is a four-week-old cryptographic platform for flexible digital transactions that has undergone a meteoric rise in popularity. Due to its newness there is currently a lack of technical documentation of its design, although in the coming weeks XC will publish its development plan and provide dates upon which this can be expected to be delivered. Given this, this article is not intended to be a technical explanation or formal defense of the viability of XC’s technology, and as such makes no claim of providing “proof” of this. Note also that XC is committed to the open source model. Open source code is vital for the health and advancement of cryptographic technologies, and so XC will make code available on a delayed timeline. This way, the community will derive the benefit of XC’s ground-breaking technologies, while the delay means that the incentive for developers to flood the marketplace with clones that lack a long term future and reduce the trustworthiness of the altcoin phenomenon is reduced.

Synch, has this been distributed via a paid for press release service?

If not I would like to pledge $500 in BTC for a paid press release that gets delivered to premium financial sites like Wall Street Journal, yahoo finance etc. I know a service that will hit a ton of top sites and get lots of indexing on search engines like google and yahoo.

In the press release we can also embed images and file attachments like pdfs and even a video if we want. We can also link to the a news section of the XC site so people can keep informed (lots of people won't know about bitcointalk).

We haven't got to rush this and can spend time preparing it carefully.

I will cover the cost of the release and send you the BTC in advance. In terms of constructing the release and the content I will leave that to you and the rest of the XC team. I am impressed with how you put everything across. We may need to "dumb it down" slightly though, so it doesn't go too far over everyone's heads. My only input is that in the article we make a small comparison at some point to Bitcoin (something a lot of people know) and highlight the strength of proof of stake, XC anonymity etc. Comparing to things the public know already will be a fruitful approach.

I will discuss the company I would like us to use and anything else over PM.

Please message me.

Wow.

I know its pennies compared to this offer, but IF this suggestion is for real, I am donating 10 XC for this cause ... I know its nothing for some people here, but they are painfully hard-earned crypto money for me. You sir are a true hero !

Hi all, you're very welcome to add to Mr_Random's offer by donating BTC to 1HCCyPaEdoiPgJuUSXEZgYuQRVQeeNNShZ

Let's introduce XC to the world!

[mr_random]

No worries guys.

Synechist and I are now conversing over email, to establish the best press release company to use. Synechist will post a BTC receiving address publicly in this topic as proof of payment.

This is my way of helping to promote XC. And I believe everyone can help in their own way whether it's posting here regularly, using their skills or donating a tiny amount of their XC towards projects.

The future of XC is bright.

We have so far received a lot of interest from the btc community here at the conference. And last night we were helping out some local homeless to fill the empty rooms that remained at the hotel thanks to Seansoutpost.com Jason King. Good works all around. Now today is the conference and the fun begins.

Thanks for update Jasinlee!!  hopefully you grab some attention from some of the old timer BTC guys.  Your presence there is highly valued by myself and I am sure everyone else on this thread.

Thats great to here especially on the charity side. I will be setting up charity donation drive address when I get home.

Can anyone explain multi path to me? Thanks.

Hi.. hope this helps http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1208/1208.3192.pdf & http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parental_testing.

Which bits have been implemented into XC? Thanks.

Yesterday Teka had a AMA on reddit. This could give you some answers http://www.reddit.com/r/XCofficialreddit/comments/28ny59/ama_time_daniel_community_manager/

Quote: Well rev 1.5 already has p2p transactions. Rev 2 will feature encrypted em's and more bug free features already in the wallet as well some features yet to be announced.

Did not get anything there. How has multi path been implemented into xnodes? Thanks.

The short answer is that the multi-path implementation in XC is ATCsecure's proprietary design, and that it stems from his work on a highly scalable RF marine-based antenna system. The long technical answer, as you'd gather from the press release (http://1drv.ms/1suKKMc), is yet to come.

Cannot invest if I don't understand it.

Then don't invest until you have spent your time researching and have understood it. It is not the community's job to feed your narcissism.

Ok thanks for judging me Jesus. Doing my research now. Do you have anything useful to add? Any tips or info?

Fantastic! Great way to use the empty rooms. Let's spread this when we get a donation address.
