If you all had half a brain you would be running a PR and Marketing Push here..... http://www.reddit.com/r/DarkNetMarkets/ If you read alot of the complaints peoplw have about bitcoin fog and not trusting Darkmarket mixers you would see XC solves alot of problems for a multi Billion Dollar industry... Just a thought.. Thanks pookie. I for one do have half a brain, which I'm about to kill with all the crack, LSD, and MDMA I just bought when I followed your link. Don't think that's the market we want to tackle, if it was I would exit xc immediately...just a thought. Yup personally, I'm against it too. My opinion on this, is that if they want to use XC, that is fine, and is bound to happen (just like they use dollars, bitcoin, other mediums etc). To actively market to this group is a different story. We don't want to be associated with such things with trying to reach a broader base of consumers.

Something strange happened. The weekly MACD for XC just went green all of a sudden for me. It was red when I checked the charts a couple of hours ago. Is it just me or someone else can confirm this strange occurring?
Um... it has been green for the past 3 weeks on a weekly chart, granted, trending to negative. What time frame? Difference time frames will have difference divergences.

Well said powdermonkey. It's inevitable xc will be used for those activities. However I see our end game as being privXC for medical expenses, alcohol, medication, tobacco, legal marijuana and anything else we don't want the public to know about. That's our target audience.
Ex. Person x invests in digital currencies and buys crypto related domain names. Person x also works for BoA or Wells Fargo. Those activities could be considered a conflict of interest. Person x could lose their job.
Or maybe I just dont want my wife to know I ate a pint of ben and jerrys. Ya get ma drift.

Noob question.
Can someone let me know how to update the wallet from a previous version. I just installed 2.45 and it's synched but I don't see my balance or previous transactions.
I was using 0.9.1.50 before the update. I have my wallet.dat backed up too.

Not saying this is the right way, or the best way, but I rename the wallet.dat in the new download to something different, then paste in the old wallet.dat. This will make the address in your new updated wallet match your old one. Someone else may have a better method, that's just what I do. I NEVER delete a wallet.dat, whether new or old - ensures I don't make a clumsy mistake

Or maybe SHE doesn't want you to know that SHE ate a pint of Ben and Jerry's! Haha just kidding I'm thinking also along the lines of donations to political campaigns, payments between businesses, and those types of things. Sometimes you don't want the whole world knowing where your money is going.

XC is perfect for darknet markets and we should do some marketing over there. I tryed to bring up this discussion about a week ago but nobody seemed to care. If xc is not to be marketed as a perfect payment option for darnetmarkets then why anon? Why would anyone chose XC over bitcoin if all they want is to buy regular stuff? The most important feature of XC is anonimity, why not take advantage.

Did you copy the wallet to the XCurrency directory in the %appdata% folder? It used to be in X11coin directory which has now changed to XCurrency.

The most important feature of XC is anonimity, why not take advantage. I think its more about privacy, because the government has made it clear they can track your earnings and spendings through bitcoin. Anonymizing this hides you from the government and hides your asset. I do agree though that I think deepweb will adopt XC if it becomes successful before mass adoption takes place (people who don't know anything about cryptos)

This will make the address in your new updated wallet match your old one. Someone else may have a better method, that's just what I do. I NEVER delete a wallet.dat, whether new or old - ensures I don't make a clumsy mistake I just leave my wallet.dat alone. New app versions just run using the same wallet file with no problems. However I also always keep a backup of both my wallet.dat and my private keys. Lastly, whenever I pay someone, I specify that change is sent to an address I've already backed up the private key of. Otherwise, the wallet will create a new address for the change and I'll have to make a new backup of its private key. Always remember this last thing, or you'll lose coins at some point.

@ demgains So is seems to me that you have something against other people buying illegal substances using XC, but you are perfectly fine if they only use it for tax evasion, bribes and other illegal financial shit....maybe not but at least that's what I understand.
Here is what I think:
The most important feature of XCurrency is privacy there is no doubt about this and getting it done is surely the number 1 priority. Second priority is, at least in my mind, creating an environment that would enable spending XCurrency. I understand that introducing xc on the currency cards and ATMs will make it possible to spend it anywhere or exchange it for fiat, but people can do this just as well with bitcoin. For XC there needs to be a different application, specific for anon coins, like an online market.
By market I refer to a completely decentralized online market that would use xc. For such a market to have success a true anon coin is necessary and xc is perfect for that. Otherwise there are little applications that would absolutely require the use of an anon coin. I mean using it to sponsor political parties is great but still...not enough. Also what point is there to keep the records of a online company private (using xc) if the actual business can not be conducted also in a private way (using a decentralized anon market based on xc).
I consider cloak coin as the most important competitor. They are currently working on implementing a decentralized anon feature that might work out just as well as Dan's implementation. If they do achieve this then I belive in a very short time xc will be losing its advantage because cloak will also have their Onemarket service, maybe you have read their whitepaper.
I feel that in the future most commerce will move on the online medium and next logical step after getting rid of financial middlemen, and thus liberating money (as bitcoin and all the other cryptocurrencies have done), is eliminating the ecommerce middlemen (like ebay, amazon and many others).
There is a great deal of bitcoin being transactioned on the dark markets. Those users will most definitely migrate over to the first good implementation of a decentralized market as they are aware that their weak spot is the fact that the markets they transact on are centralized.
Now don't get me wrong, I do not advertise the sale of drugs, child porn, weapons and what not. All of these issues can be resolved through peer reviews or other methods. But the fact still stands: there is a need for such a free market open to anyone and sooner or later someone will make it happen. I only wish that XC will be the one.
So in conclusion I belive that developing such a application should be first priority after anonymity problem is fully done.
