So hello friends - what has been happening here?  I have been busy following URO - its fucing crazy that thread.  Anyway, any new news here from anyone ?

Happy FRIDAY!

Happy Friday indeed.  No big news but we've been trying to be productive and have been talking about how we can improve as a community and be as professional and badass as the XC team is.

Here is some cut and paste from earlier, we've also discussed putting a team together to work on the XC Anti FUD campaign where we will put together a list of all the nonsense FUD and refute everything with facts.  We'll be organizing it in the XC forum soon if you're interested in helping!

Yes, this would be valuable.


How about this?


1. Be good to each other
2. Be gracious to "enemies"
3. Completely ignore spam, FUD, and abusive comments
4. If you respond to anything with the above in it, erase the offending remarks from your reply before posting, because leaving it in will allow it to incite further offense. (Also Teka might delete your post.)
5. Don't ever spread FUD elsewhere. Respect other projects. XC doesn't need to compete with them; it's strong enough on its own.
6. Be patient with newbies. There'll be a lot of them arriving as XC grows.
7. The way you treat people makes up 95% of what's relevant in a post; the information supplied is 5%.
8. The way XC appears to the world depends on the way you are to other people.
9. Be aware of the difference between what you perceive and what you infer from your perceptions (e.g. statements vs. the intentions suggested by statements).
10. You devalue yourself by being aggressive/insulting/etc.
11. If we don't treat opponents well, then we just take on their mode of interacting instead of imparting our mode of interacting.
12. So be good to each other.

Yeah, having a team to frequent trollboxes (and anywhere else) is an awesome idea. However I'd construe the role of a trollbox team not as controlling information (since we have no monopoly on it), but as fostering community.

Our mode of interaction with others accounts for 95% of communication; the information supplied is 5%. So when we interact, we don't just give out facts, we give out a way of treating others, of being together.

This suggests that communicating and being a person effectively come down to the same thing: how we come across, that is, how we are in relation to others.

It also suggests that to be valuable to the world, XC requires its community, since we're what is presented to the world. Furthermore, the way XC appears to the world depends on the way we are to other people.

Therefore, be gracious to people (especially "enemies"). Be generous in your interpretation of their statements, especially when they're not generous to you. If we don't do this, then we just take on their mode of interacting instead of imparting our mode of interacting.

Be aware of the difference between what you perceive and what you infer from your perceptions (e.g. statements vs. the intentions suggested by statements). Be aware of the value of community and the value of how you come across, rather than defending the value of XC's tech without considering how you might devalue yourself by being aggressive/insulting/etc. Foster community. Remind people of the value of their role. Be to others what you'd have the XC community be to itself.


Basically what I'm getting to is that good tech without good ethics lacks value. If the XC team and community were a bunch of arseholes, XC would lack sufficient reason to exist.

P.S. The XC DeFUD Fund's address is XN77DGRr2ZhEeojQkft9eJXJMq4HxoJTCD

It has 20XC now.

My guess is that as the tally goes up there'll be more of an incentive for someone to do the following:


- clearly describe each FUD point in XC's history (handy place to start: http://uk.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/2a64ue/xcurrency_changing_the_way_the_world_views/cismmnb)
- link it to the original poster(s) of this FUD (involves trawling the original XC thread)
- provide the refutation (more trawling)
- link it to the place in a forum where it was first refuted



Whoever does this first (and properly) and sends it to press@xc-official.com gets the cash. Maybe several people could split it. It'll quite a task to amass all that FUD.

Hello Everyone,

I need to say something real quick......  I'm a proud XC bag holder as well as a proud bag holder of Dark and Vertcoin.  I believe all three coins have their strengths and weaknesses.  I'm seriously sick and tired of researching coins on the forums and seeing nothing but useless fud and people arguing.  Re-quoting and arguing with other posters does absolutely nothing to help promote XC.  All it does is discourage investors, having to scroll through pages and pages of worthless arguments to find anything useful.  When I jump on a forum and have to dig and dig to find what I'm looking for, I just end up walking away with a bad taste in my mouth about that particular coin.  It gives me an idea of the type of people invested in that coin.  Please, lets change the game here for XC!  No more arguing with fuders and no more re-quoting ignorant people!  Also, investors want to see innovation and development.  If you are qualified to speak in either of those departments, post!  If your not, please don't.  If we create a forum of just good info for investors and holders, you will see XC's value go through the roof!!

I'm with you on this one but anyone can just post here and FUD away. A new FUD ends up be quoted and replied to many times to disprove it. Moves away from the actual info that someone needs. All I can say is look at the OP and gather info from there.

FUD is a big problem on all forums and no easy way to deal with it.

Any ideas anyone?

I'll start compiling a list of all previous FUD, and will help as much as possible with all of the above.  Sushi mentioned we should start a seperate IRC channel so a few of us can get on there and work together which I think would help a lot since we can communicate in real time and get it done quicker.  

If anyone would like to donate to the XC DeFUD fund or help out once I have a list compiled that would be great.

I think our best bet is to follow guidelines such as these that Synechist posted:

1. Be good to each other
2. Be gracious to "enemies"
3. Completely ignore spam, FUD, and abusive comments
4. If you respond to anything with the above in it, erase the offending remarks from your reply before posting, because leaving it in will allow it to incite further offense. (Also Teka might delete your post.)

10. You devalue yourself by being aggressive/insulting/etc.
11. If we don't treat opponents well, then we just take on their mode of interacting instead of imparting our mode of interacting.
12. So be good to each other.

We should requote this from time to time and encourage taking the high road whenever possible.

Ill contribute in working for free! If we really need money to get this show on the road I will also pay. But I think you get to most pure people that will work for free (doesn't say I disagree, some could really use that coins. I don't)

Yeah real-time communication.. Would help much

Is it possible to make a wallet similar to Multibit for XC? I don't like the qt wallets at all.

[Driv3n]

I've seen some ppl post about testing anon transactions today.  There were a couple that didn't send but the rest made it through successfully.

^^^^bump. I know good looking sleek wallets dont add much value to the functionality, but they sure do add appeal to investors. Visual appeal is important. Its the only reason SilkCoin became very popular and took off, even though it was a scam.

i think a new design is planned for 2.5, should be in place for the big launch

Noob question, but now I have my coins staking. How can I transfer them to my useable funds again? Can I interrupt the staking?

My balance shows only 0.3 XC where there are 100 coins staking, how can I transfer my 100 coins to my balance again?

your funds are unavailable for a certain number of blocks once you've gotten the payment & they are out staking.  I don't remember the exact number; somehow 128 comes to mind but someone else will know.  And no, you can not interrupt the staking.


does anyone know if it's possible to boot the TOR stick on a mac ?

Ok thanks a lot for your reply, I see the transactions are confirming. I guess I'll just have to wait

[ottobene]

XC already have OP in russian language? I can do it for a few dozen coins. Pm me if this needed
