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

[illodin]

A small misunderstanding regarding Darkcoin's masternodes:

It's completely decentralised. This is an improvement on the masternode (generic term: supernode) for two reasons:
- you don't create supernodes, which are big attractive targets for hackers
- you don't doubly incentivise hackers by requiring a large amount of coins be kept at a supernode.

Darkcoin's masternode doesn't have to hold the coins, you can keep them in cold wallet. For example my masternodes' wallets have 0 coins in them.

That's all, gl with the XC.

Arlyn, thanks for the communication. Took a look this morning and saw that Bittrex was now 3rd overall in volume, and one of their top coins has a problem with a missing dev. People are confused about the communication with XC? At least we have people around to communicate with. Just keep doing what you are doing Arlyn. Many supporters here who appreciate your time and effort.

Thank you sir! I'll keep on communicating. And the clarity of information on XC will only improve.

My goal is to have the necessary information highly visible from all our platforms - and to have it all continually updated without some info getting out of date.

It must be so frustrating having to deal with all the trolls that have insecurity issues because they got burned by having other pump and dump coins dev constantly disappearing on them.   They are just not used to XC with the professional team that actually have an official PR person.

Keep up the good work!

It Is a bit frustrating as well to wait to 23:59PM east coast time of the last day of each release announcements as well.. I did not see any troll before just people invested in XC asking for clarifications. I am not part of a cult.

No... but there's also this other cult that just CONSTANTLY ask for update 24/7 and pressing F5 every second and if there is no update... another post asking for update.   It's like they have nothing else to do in life but to ask for updates and clarifications.   How many times can someone clarify something.   You can't cure stupid.   If you don't understand something the first 100 times, you are not going to understand it the 101 time that it's explained.

Yea I agree that is why it is Important to Deliver Clear Messages of what is delivered with the releases.

Thanks for that. Apologies for not understanding DRK properly.

I'm glad that keeping masternode DRK in cold storage is possible. That must be a relief!

How does this work? I mean, how does the network know a masternode has the requisite amount of DRK associated with it if the coins are actually elsewhere?

Here's our latest roadmap to Rev 3 and beyond!

- the Rev 2 "UI update" is a progress bar for private transactions and send fail/success confirmation. It's not the major Rev 3 UI update.

- private transactions and EM will be merged into a single app at Rev 2.5.









So this is what's new:

- UI update at Rev 2

- Rev 3 UI preview at Rev 2.5

- Rev 2.5 is the point at which trustless mixing is merged with secure private messaging

- Additional updates to xnodes in the Rev 2 phase (just to whet your appetites :-).

hate to sound like a troll here, but any relative ETAs?

Nope. Not for the time being.

But you can expect the pace of development to be as fast as always.

I've noticed the same trend. Instead of blatant fudding, trolls now try to weasel in uncertainty by posing seemingly legitimate questions. On the bright side; it's a sign of XC maturing. We've left the phase where people could yell profanities to bring us down. I'll be courteously answering repetitive questions until my fingers bleed a bit. As proposed by Arlyn, remaining polite is the best way.

Looks just like the 1st roadmap.

Heh. Yeah, it'll take a while before the crypto world realises we're not the usual transient cryptotrash.

Until then, we'll need to continually affirm, support, and reaffirm people of where XC's at and what XC is.

It's a trust thing, and honestly people's low level of trust about cryptocurrencies is realistic, given the past.

But the community here is awesome, and it's growing. I can't wait to see how things will be in a month.

I feel you man.

I think the matter of perspective can fuel frustration on each side also.

I mean, you see all the great thing going on behind the scenes and that things are really starting to come together. You guys are also busting your butts and putting in long hours, so when you see posts from people constantly asking for updates or yet another confused investor, I can see how it might grate your nerves a bit. It can make them seem a bit whiny, ungrateful, etc.

From the investors' side--- They're in it for the long haul. Most of the coins are off the exchanges and in their wallets. They have quite a bit invested because they see the potential.  As someone mentioned earlier, some may have been burned by other coins in the past.  When it's quiet on the update front for a few days (because you're working, have lives, etc.) they can start to get a bit antsy. Especially when they're essentially told to trust or gtfo (not saying you've done this personally).

There's just that point where trust/anticipation and proof/delivery need to meet. Once you find that sweet spot you have happy campers all around.

I beg to differ:

- UI update at Rev 2

- Rev 3 UI preview at Rev 2.5

- Rev 2.5 is the point at which trustless mixing is merged with secure private messaging

- Additional updates to xnodes in the Rev 2 phase (just to whet your appetites :-).

from dan :

"I will be releasing an updated roadmap this weekend and also an updated wallet with improvements to the private transactions feature"

Is the wallet already been released with 2.45 or we will have a wallet release as well today?

Thank you.

PS:I am sorry to sound as a dick but no ETA at this stage is not really professional... at least for Rev 2.5.. and when there will be the official bounty?

Couldn't agree more. It feels like a fuel line... the flow's gotta be just right. Alternatively more trust will allow greater variation in the flow.

Dan's post referred to Rev 2.45. It's out already.


We're under no obligation to give you an ETA. Why would you expect one? You've got no idea how many variables this depends on.

It's not only professional to not give one, it would be irresponsible, thus unprofessional, to wantonly give dates without being 100% certain we couldn't keep our word.

Why would an ETA make a difference anyway? EM is already being tested; it's not as if we've got nothing to show for. It'll be out in due course.

The big public bounty is around Rev 3.

I can answer this one....

/puts on asshole cap

When its good and done and ready to be so.

( Then I wonder why I am never in charge of PR lol )
