[XC][XCurrency] Decentralised Trustless Privacy Platform / Encrypted XChat / Pos

[mr_random]

To any potential investors reading this madness ask yourself this, why would DRK holders spend so much time and energy trying to smear XC and spread fear, uncertainty and doubt about this legitimate project?

Answer: They are scared of our potential.

Mark my words, next time XC rises, DRK is going to fall so hard not even a 2000 BTC buy order will save it.

Is it possible to fix the minor bug in the wallet (on the next release) showing the coin is minting when it takes around 8-10 days to mature ? Not a big issue but it's still annoying.

It took awhile for my minting to kick in, but its working great now

Is that the "Mined but not Accepted"  transactions?
He said it would be addressed

Not it's the bugged minting icon next to the lock in the lower right of the soft saying that the coin is minting from start whereas it takes 8-10 days to mature. On top of that the delay is stuck to the "next reward remaining time" forever. So users don't know if their coins are mature or not and if they move them from the wallet the countdown to mature coin is reseted or altered but they still don't have the info about this.

oh, I don't get that. Mine works well since the beginning.

So is the anon portion working or removed?

Hello.

I was invited to check the implementation of XC compared to FedoraCoin's codebase in order to find possible similarities between them.
First of all, I visited FedoraCoin's repository and checked the specific file mentioned (mixerann.cpp and the header file).
Then, I was invited to Developer's station with a Teamviewer session and saw the code that implements the specific feature.

The code is in no way similar between the two coins.
But, I believe that one must trusts his own eyes (and compiler). Just download the source code from FedoraCoin and create a working wallet that has all the features of XC enabled. That would prove whether the claim is correct or false.

Now, I do not know who claimed that Fedora and XC share the same codebase. If someone claims that some principles are the same, then I'm afraid that someone hasn't heard of Bitcoin and the blockchain concept (or the transaction concept, or the pubkey->wallet address concept, or... the list goes on forever).

IMPORTANT!

+1, thanks for your clarification.

Yes, but you hadn't the icon status saying "immature coins, not staking" in the first place right ?

It is build into the wallet.

[jhubaseball08]

Withdrawal from Mintpal 24 hours ago still hasn't hit wallet. Wallet still not syncing, even after update. Ughhhh.

Yep, DRK is a good coin, but I dont think they realise the masternodes could be its biggest weakness not strength.. If the coin gets a very high value a masternode will need to be like fort knox.. One on Amazon has already been hacked... Owner lost 1000 DRK, so its not a laughing matter.

One more "Ask yourself" question

If this were a scam, and they instantly became multi millionaires yesterday, why are they still here?  

[Kashmir]

Bi*ch you better have my money when I come for that shit like O.D.B.

Just kidding but you think price and marketcap will increase again in a month or so? Because now I have lost 10BTC sense yesterday.. Not nice!

All you need is an encrypted wallet.dat with a reasonably long password. Doesn't matter if they copy it, they won't be able to decrypt it. In the case of the guy who lost his coins, he had left his password in bash history. The point is that he lost his coins the way people lose Bitcoins, there was nothing specific to masternodes.

Come on XC, don't drop below 20000 satosh

Impressed with how easy the new windows wallet is.

Took me less than 1 minute to get it downloaded, opened, and synchronizing.


Definitely going to pull my XC off poloniex into my wallet so I can earn stake.

poloniex seems to be down.....has been for a few minutes now.
at least in my hemisphere.

They're down for server upgrades.  I didn't catch an eta

thanx for the info...
...see how courteous this community can be ?

[benthach]

You guys are totally missing the point. I don't care whether the current XC code is original or not. Writing a centralized mixer is so easy that the Fedoracoin guys did it. The point is the difference in difficulty between coding a centralized mixing service and coding a decentralized mixing service is enormous. Being able to do the former is NOT evidence that one can do the latter.

DRK hasn't been able to code that themselves (hint: check the last weeks activity in DRK).

But yes they have. The first version of it has been operational in RC versions for ages now. It's called "DarkSend".

The DRK dev is still trying to determine a solution that doesn't cause forking, security issues and other such matters. And even then it will still not be truly decentralised.

The change that required hard forking was assigning a percentage of mining rewards to masternodes, not the decentralized trustless anonymizer.

You throw phrases like "security issues" around as if you knew what you were talking about. Wanna elaborate on that? Also please tell me more about those "such matters".

As for being "truly decentralized", if you are referring to the decentralized masternode network, I don't get what is better in having people run nodes on their personal computers running on crappy cable modems than having dedicated servers running on gigabit connections when you are going to need dedicated nodes in your network anyway! So they might as well do the anonymizing as well. There will be thousands of dedicated masternodes with 100% uptime 24/7, compare that to at most few hundred personal computers with their wallets open while they play some call of duty or whatever behind their cable modems.

XC also has encrypted transactions.

Has or will have? Darkcoin will have ring signature level solution without the bloat of ring signatures. See: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg6864666#msg6864666

In a way XC is actually SUPERIOR to DRK.

Which way is that?

The only advantage DRK has right now is the dodgy masternodes that offer more decentralisation... cling onto that whilst you can because by this time next month we'll be past it.

I would think a masternode running on a dedicated server with a gigabit network connection provides far less dodgy service than average Joe's laptop behind a wi-fi.

I'm sure if a Amp DDoS attack to that one masternode, "a dedicated server with a gigabit network connection" then the whole DRK coins would go dark!

One more "Ask yourself" question

If this were a scam, and they instantly became multi millionaires yesterday, why are they still here?  

This is the million-dollar question, and to rephrase:

What sane freaking scammer would jeopardise his credentials and real, old BTC talk forum accounts just for a weeks scam, only to realise it(yesterday) and then even REMAIN around for a second round, using same accounts?

Not to mention those other credible users, WITH old accounts, devs, and whatever, still supporting the coin and claiming to have been given either details/code peek or w/e, again, by USING their main account and credentials?

Not to mention if idd some1 else like rat4 accepts to review code and prove supportive, this will instantly mean panic buying and price surpassing previous peak, EASILY.


We can all just hope and w8 for it!

Thats correct, 400 of them had matured enough to start minting

Did DRkcoin supporters spread fud about XC to
wrestle XC supporters away into Drkcoin? I notice
Drk went up in price while xc went down in price in aftermath of
whatever controversy happened. I hope this whole fud controversy has
ended and people can continue to be confident in X11coin

It depends on how you see it really. It invites *competent* people to do the masternode running. If someone does not have the necessary security awareness to protect his money and the node, then he shouldn't be running a node (or if he has done no basic security, then he also deserves to get hacked).

You don't want your transactions going through some idiot's node. You want the node to be operated by someone who knows what he is doing.

So, in that sense, it's a strength.
