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

Thanks for updating the first page of this thread.  It's much more helpful now.

Also, I can't wait for the logo contest to be over so that we can get a more professional logo.

Compared to the other coins the XC logo looks a little unprofessional on

http://cryptocoinstats.com/
and
http://coinmarketcap.com/

Speaking of the logo, I know that a vote has been planned, but I'm not convinced the designs submitted are quite where they need to be yet. The best of them are skeuomorphic and don't sufficiently distinguish themselves from the morass of altcoins out there. I know a top notch designer; we could get her (or anyone else) in.

How about it?

How about you show us some of her work?

For sure. Take a look around her site: http://alexandrabruns.com/ko-klee-ko

That said, there's merit in getting a broader service from a marketing/PR company. We need a brand, not just a logo.

there have been some great logos in the contest, the last submission on the blue background is it in my opinion, it looks like a key a little so it fits

How do you run a XC mixing node?

You can refer to the user guide.

i know its probably been said a bunch but its not in the ann... what flags & config steps are needed to setup/run xnode... I hear its simple but that its more than just running the batch file, or rather when i ran just that batch file i didnt seem to be accomplishing anything.  Also maybe a good writeup could be part of the announce, or on the wbesite, or on your forum or anywhere really...  Thanks in advance!

Make X11Coin.cong and put in there:
listen=1
rpcuser=changeuser
rpcpassword=changepass
reservebalance=10000
addnode=west01.xcnode.xc-official.com
addnode=east01.xcnode.xc-official.com
addnode=west02.xcnode.xc-official.com

 After that only run run-xc-xnode-mainnet.bat. reservebalance=10000 is example from manual, can be any ammount you want. In this release 15XC is needed for node, it is only for testing purposes.
 Ofc download latest wallet or it shall not work...

520bit you could just post the user guide link, I wasnt able to find this info, apparently others cant either...
nevermind i found the user guide... http://xc-official.com/user-guides.html  (hint, its empty)

Perhaps, but has there been conversation about whether a key embodies the sort of narrative XC would best suit? That's what I mean by branding. It's almost like seigniorage in currency-creation: it commodifies previously untapped resources in the nature of the coin, just as seigniorage commodifies previously untapped aspects of the world. A good marketing person would get deep into the details of the coin, its tech, its vision, its people, and put together a narrative and a set of concrete elements (logo, site, etc.) that tell/embody this story. We need this.

Which logo do you mean, btw?

XC should have a slogan contest and then get an advert on coinmarketcap.com i think...

Advertising would be key.  There are a bunch of crypto coin sites that are a bargain to advertise on.

I think a heavy advertising campaign before we have a tested and working decentralized anon system would be a mistake.  Decentralized anon is the core of XC and until that is working flawlessly, an advertising campaign would be a disaster.

+1. Advertising no, PR yes.

Also, slogans are pretty 1980s. Do we need that in our brand?

We may have other channels But we need to do in the heart
For example, twitter facebook Maybe should have a tissue

I think it has strengths, like looking like the sort of thing one would find on the door of a safe.

However it's skeuomorphic. That faux brushed steel and those colour gradients are a fad from a few years back.

There's also reason to consider how it will be at odds with the aesthetics of mobile app design, since a major part of XC's development is mobile and POS integration. Mobile app design has a minimal, flat, colourful look. Take, for example, the latest Skype logo. This XC logo will just look dated and out of place in that environment.

I own cryptocoinstats.com
Once the price turns around I'll be promoting XC via Twitter.

Whats the latest on this coin?  I've read in other threads (Cinni Dev) that XC and DRk arnt really 100% anonymous.  Can someone chime in?

no, everything is alright and working as expected. staking can take UP TO 30 days. and since this coin isn't 30 days old you don't have to worry. staking = gambling, but you definitely win the gamble in a specific timeframe (in this coin staking can occur from the 8th hour you have the coins sitting in your wallet BUT it can take up to 30 days)
