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

[mecc]

Have some patience and let the branding team work their magic. Did we not as a community vote for the logo? Didn't ATC reach out to us on what features/suggestions we had on encrypted messaging? Are you nervous because of the trains buzzin by? Crypt, now cloak. If you have suggestions, let ATC and the team know in the suggestion section at XC talk. http://forum.xctalk.com/index.php?/forum/26-suggestions/. Personally, I'm not a fan of flexible currency, but we don't have the whole picture. I'll hold judgement until we have some material to look at.

XC's fundamentals are still the same. We have a dev who has experience as a CEO. He's already connected with a PR/branding team to handle marketing. He's on his way to a bit coin meeting to showcase XC. In the mean time, have some fun with other alt coins. Lots of action going on. What an exciting time for us.

[benthach]

what do you think guys, will we reach something more than this price  which is stable almost two weeks (120-130) ? I mean not pump but stable price...

XC is staying low for a reason, just hope it won't go lower. I personally don't think the creator know how to market his product.

Are you kid from DRK lovers?

nope.
x11coin, xecutive, flexible... do you see any resemblance?
not to say the delayed of logo and accepting very late logo contest when it's already closed. question of honesty? the promised of 3-4weeks for rev.2 which is almost 4 weeks ago so I think it will not come out on time. countless problems of xnode and staking. it sound like the creator don't know what he's doing at this point and the price say it.

I have been in the financial services industry for over 25 years. During these 25+ years I have advised clients on an individual and an institutional level.  I  have also managed my own portfolio, which has included penny stocks.   I am new to the cryptocurrency market, but believe some of the same principles prevail as when deciding how to invest your dollar in older, more traditional markets.  While Penny stocks are less known, and less traded, they are similar to larger markets, just much greater risk and exponentially larger swings.  The crypto market is very similar.   I found success in penny stocks, by focusing on the roots of the business, their management structure, branding and marketing consistencies, opposed to playing the pumps and day trading.  While day trading can lead to consistent gains, they are usually marginalized by the risk and overall return.  I found success in picking 3-4 stocks at a time that I felt at good leadership, a sound business plan, and had met their deadlines.  You would have some failures, but your percentage of winners was much higher if you had conviction and held for the real pump, the pump based on facts and delivery or development of goods and services.  This is why I have chosen XC as one my coins in my first steps into the Cryptocurrency market.  They have great management, they have a good business plan that is much more than just currency, they have delivered what they have said would be coming in the past, and I expect in the future, and finally a consistent logo and branding plan, despite some elasticity in this area in the early stages.   Remember, if you are day trading, you may sell on what you think is a pump and the train has left the station.  Is it worth the risk of missing the big gain, for a short day traded gain?  We are to that point with this coin now.  If you believe in the coin, the hold it, and you will be rewarded as long as the team continues to deliver.  This day will come sooner if you don't fall to the pressures of that daily quick gain and keep the sell board at appropriate levels.    I am excited to be a part of this market and I see this coin as a leader.  There is always a better alternative to any industries first to market.   I remember AOL, Palm, texas instruments, gateway computers,  Blackberry and MySpace.  I think XC is the one that will unseat the first to market in the cryptocurrency market.   I won't be posting much on here as I will hold this coin until I see evidence that it is not on plan.  However, I hope to tell my grandkids someday the story of this decision and how impactful it was on my life and theirs...

AMEN

Nice fuds, well done.

except trivial things.  DEV delivered almost everything on time. unless you have some mental problem.  Xnode is working very well, and staking is also no problem.

only impatient bastard with reading problem keep asking staking issue. Maybe dev even do not bother answering your stupid questions.

but i will do.  shut fuck up!

Not nervous at all, it is clear XC is on the path forward and not back... XC should be marketed as the"Privacy Platform" ,why you ask?  Cause you can SELL privacy these days... like I mention earlier.. it will be like selling bottled water... "who would ever buy bottled water?right?"-now look...bottled water isa multi million dollar industry.

Well who would ever buy privacy? right? The future is obvious...soon linksys and dlink and those others will start marketing and advertising "Residential PRIVACY Hardware Boxes!!"  What will they be? probably really well marketed hardware firewall boxes with some form of encryption built in ....maybe I am crazy...but I can see this type of shit happeneing, and I can see it being all the hype, and it will happen before anyone even realizes like a theif in the night.  We might as well be there with the Privacy Platform!

The drawback of privacy platform, whilst all-encompassing and rolling well off the tongue, is it's not obvious from the slogan that it's primarily a currency.

don't be like that

generally an aggressive undertone denotes negative emotions or a masked ulterior motive.

i believe you are entirely entitled to your own opinion and that you are free to trade your XC coins if you do not have confidence in the project or team.

i don't want to sway your opinion but my belief is that emotional attachment to trading generally works in your disfavour.

rather than look at what has or hasn't happened in the past, research and consider what will happen in the future.

Would it be possible to give an update on timelines for EM / REV2?

Good luck with that request. That's like SEAL team 6 letting Osama "ben" laden know "we are on our way to get you" Not gonna happen!

The Power of a Name: Branding Behind XC
_______________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________

A brand is not just a logo, and it’s not just a name.  A brand is the entire message being presented to the public by a company, in order to draw and retain potential customers.  It consists of the company’s logo, their name, the look and feel of their website and social media outlets, their communication to the target audience through announcements and public relations, and the voice that carries out that communication, whether conveyed verbally or by written word.

The brand is communicated to the public by means of a brand strategy.  The content that the company chooses to communicate, both verbally and visually, is a part of the brand strategy, as well as when, where, and how it is communicated.  The brand strategy also takes into account the channels through which the communication will be made, along with who the target audience will be for each given channel.
Also important in branding, is brand equity.  This is a direct result of how consistently the company can portray their brand.  Consistent branding on all fronts leads to consistent perceptions from customers about what the brand represents.  This consistency helps build brand equity, which in turn adds value to the brand.

With all these factors to take into consideration, building a brand for a new project can be a challenging task.  There will be individuals already familiar with the product or service, and they’ll each have varying perceptions pertaining to what the product or service means to them individually, but the branding team still has to develop a focused approach to convey a concise message to the general target audience, in order to reach the broadest base they can.  Therefore, the most advantageous place to gain market share, along with brand equity, typically lies outside the core group who is already familiar with the given product or service.  This broader base is where the branding team must focus their efforts if they’re to help grow the product or service into all it can be.

How does all of this pertain to XC, you might ask?  One of the critical components to branding, especially with a new project, is the name that’s being branded.  The process of choosing the name XC, and deciding what XC should stand for, has been a topic of great debate for the core group that already knows about XC.  A more detailed look into how the name came to be, and how a broad target audience was involved in selecting the name, shows how the branding team strived to make the first steps toward bringing XC to a larger audience.

Initially, thoughts for the name were to focus on the anonymous functions of XC.  This is currently one of XC’s core competencies and it seemed a good place to start.  However, some quick studies with people from various areas of XC’s target market soon showed that ordinary people outside of XC’s currently small world weren’t very intrigued by the anonymous approach.  In fact, for some, the anonymous approach seemed off-putting.  For others, it just didn’t arouse their curiosity enough to get them to want to know more about XC and what XC offers.

This revelation led to a second approach, partly inspired by XC’s current core group.  Instead of focusing upon the anonymous functions of XC, it was decided that the focus would be upon the platform that XC offers, and the privacy being afforded by this platform.  It was back to the target audience to get further input, and it didn’t take long for another piece of the puzzle to quickly unfold.  When taking the privacy approach, the majority of people were once again not intrigued, but this time, almost to the point of boredom.  

Frustrated with these results, it was back to the drawing board.  Several renditions and variations of the name were tried, and each met with varying levels of success or failure, but none received the response that XC demands.  It wasn’t until we went through many renditions, that one name came up that met with an overwhelming amount of positive reception when presented to members from the target audience.  Upon presenting it to them, responses ranged from thinking it sounded “cool”, to wanting to know more about what it meant, to wondering how and where they could read up further on it.  That name was XCurrency.  People instantly knew it was related to a way of storing or moving value, and the stand-alone “X” left just enough unknown to keep them intrigued and to keep them asking questions.

Upon further study, it became obvious that XCurrency was a natural choice from the beginning.  After all, XC is a form of currency, and that will be its core function for at least as far as we can see into the future.  XC is capable of other functions as well, such as encrypted messaging, anonymous tranfers of funds, etc., but its core function still remains as a currency.  As such, XCurrency meets the branding requirements in the fact that it successfully sets expectations in people’s minds when they see it.  It also arouses enough curiosity to cause people to take action, as they want to learn more.  That is the goal of a name, and with that action, we can then provide them with the necessary education to let them know the true benefits of XC and all that it offers, which we as a community already know and are anxious to share.

Yes this is an extremely long post, sorry about that. However as early adopters those of you who support the coin need to know that we are working to take this to a much broader audience than Bitcointalk.  Let's not limit our success by thinking inside a box.

I like it!  

and I agree with you regarding privacy going to be a HUGE marketing tool/selling feature soon.
Think about something as stupid as people getting all worked up over the Xbox One Kinect being rumored to be always on and not able to turn off combined with the NSA/Snowden leaks.
Privacy definitely could be the next huge buzz word in the tech sector much like "cloud" is now.

XC Platform - Privacy For Your Digital Transactions

XC Platform - Private Digital Transactions


This lets you know it is a currency of some kind and doesn't pigeon hole it to just a coin/currency. The future of a cryptocoin depends on it being much more than cash for the internet. Blockchain 2.0 tech is the future and platform leaves XC open for anything.
