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

[illodin]

Anybody else notice that mintpal volume has been significantly down since the hack ?

I dont mean only XC, all other coins too.

This is a major concern.

Everyone has moved to bittrex. I suggest you move your coins there. This will  seriously boost XC....No jokes. I'm moving it there right now as we speak. If we want XC to do well we need to move coins to the most prominent exchange. No one in the Altcoin world likes Mintpal anymore.

There are many influencial traders in altcoin one of them is IconicExpert...check him out on twitter. Devs pay this guys to post tweets...to move markets. Either way our best chance is to get our funds there.

I suggest staying away from IE.  That guy is a total Dbag and is not good for the longevity of the coin.

Second that! He totally f***ed liberty coin in their FUD wars. I would seriously stay away.

IconicExpert / Christopher Bouzy = Scammer and Thief

Edit: oh and it's true P2P. It's a direct connection between nodes and is end-to-end encrypted. There's no need for forwarding or multipath because no record of the messages is left anywhere for anyone to track.

So you will know the IP address of the person you're chatting with, and he will know yours. This is something everyone must be aware of before they engage in a chat with someone.

as many of you know, I am not the techy type, but wouldn't you just use the TOR "card" to access your wallet/chat?

Nobody prevents you to use a proxy or the Tor network to erase any of your IP traceability, and with the Xchat there is no trace of your message on the network and it is encrypted during transfer i think its already not bad.

yeah there is no restriction on that you can use whatever you want to use.

All the reports have been great that I've seen... all messages go through instantly.  Also loving the name XChat for this feature.

Spot on, instant messaging, secure communication and very fast  

[FoldingTime]

If you look at the timeline on the OP and see what has been accomplished by Dan and the team you know that this is a very special project 

Testing today the EM I was expecting a few bugs etc but it was flawless in speed and functionality. Yes, presentation needs work on but that is planned later and this is just a proof of concept.

Well done to Dan and the team !!!!!

I have some very noob questions

Can I install wallet on a portal external hard drive? Does my wallet become a “cold storage” when I disconnect that hard drive from the computer ?

Or the wallet.dat file is what really matter. That no matter where my wallet is, my data will always be on my main computer under the Users\AppData\Roaming\XCurrency folder?

For back up wallet, Can I just use the tap inside the app to back it up ? or do I have to go to that Users\AppData\Roaming\XCurrency folder to find the wallet.dat to back it up ?

Thanks guys

Best way IMO is just go to your appdata folder and copy your wallet.dat onto a thumb drive.

Another step is to lock your wallet, and make sure you copy down your password in multiple locations so you dont forget it. if you forget your PW on a locked wallet, next to impossible to unlock it. You can always copy the .dat BEFORE you lock your wallet. Then when you re-back up it, unlock and repeat backing it up. This way I think that if you DO forget your PW, you can still use your BU and it wont be locked ( I could be wrong on this though but pretty sure that works that way ).

This reminds me I need to buy a usb drive tomorrow to backup my XC on.  

Shakesbear, you can also back up your private keys and store them somewhere secure if for some reason you lose/forget your password.  Theres a guide toward the bottom of the coin control article on the official site:

usb drives are an excellent way to back up your wallet, but don't forget that you can email the files to yourself for a quick backup.  Although it's not as secure, it's pretty good if you secure your email a bit. And your wallet has your password.

If you are a long-term holder, why are you concerned with the exchanges? Remove your coins to your local wallet and stake supporting the network. Not only will this benefit the network integrity but less coins on the exchange means less available supply.

This. Don't make the same coin breaking mistake VRC owners made.

yup, me and my small group of XC investors (friends and acquaintances mostly) removed our coins from mintpal, at least 30k+ between all of us

Besides everyone should be staking most of their coins while leaving a small amount on the exchange. The price is too low for me to move them back to the exchange, so all mine are staking atm.

Any news on rev 2.5 release btw?

I would like to add as well, an extra layer of security would be to use a virtual keyboard. Even if you have a good AV, Firewall etc. and you're worried about keyloggers. This is a good method to secure your vital information like passwords etc. I personally use oxynger keyshield for accessing my bitcoin wallet which offers protection against keyloggers. I'm not sure if its that important to use with altcoin wallets yet, but someone stole VRC so I guess people may attempt to steal other altcoins as well.

It looks like some are saying Rev 2.5 could come out next week before August and 3.0 sometime in the fall according to Teka. Time will tell.
