***The XC Daily Update***Hello all Time to tell the secret... Dan noted last night that XChat will be bundled into an updated TOR Stick. On its own XChat is:
- based on the Xnode protocol, which is the foundation of XC's nodes. - As it stands, XChat is a true P2P protocol, with no third parties/servers, making it very hard to attack. - XChat is encrypted from end-to-end, so no-one can snoop on your messages. But when combined with the TOR Stick:
- Your XChat app is inside the TOR cloud. This means no exit nodes will be used, so packet sniffers can't find your IP. - As such, although TOR is normally vulnerable to packet sniffers, it isn't for XChat. - Also, because XChat is true P2P, it's also not subject to the other TOR vulnerability, man-in-the-middle attacks. - The TOR Stick is its own operating system; it leaves no trace on your computer once your remove it. (This is a little bit like Tails). So when you're done chatting to someone, nobody will be able to locate and steal your information. As a result, XChat in the TOR Stick represents a landmark moment in messaging: true privacy.
The TOR Stick, with the latest XChat, will be available for download on Thur next week. Fantastic !!!!!!! Excellent presentation of the update

i keep wondering how much would be priced XCurrency technology when Encrypted messaging (with tor stick),web 3.0, NFC payment, XC mobile , blockchain 2.0 apps, cloud storage, proof of blockain are out. I think most people don't realize what XC team invent here.

is the TOR stick only going to be sold for XC? would you not accept fiat like via paypal or something? I think it could help fund a PR campaign down the road And I'm also just greedy, I want to keep my XC and rather use fiat instead

Guys, I see announcements and stuff happening in tweet, I am helping retweeting but right now ALL EYES are on PAYPRO coin, its skyrocketing like mad, I would suggest you to do a hard twitter campaign right after all that rage is over.
(XC holder here not FUD or anything else, in case you're wondering).
Eth.
man are you even trying to be serious? I find it difficult to keep my words clean right now And @holyprofit too. If you'd have minimal brain cell count, you would check my post history before babbling. My biggest bags are in XC, probably into the coin way before you two, the TWEETS are a powerful tool of the (already small) PR for XC and the moment they were out 90% of the crypto community were frenzied with trading in KEY and PRO. Now fanbois, understand me well, I wrote that so synechist and the crew aknowledge it and can repeat their tweets at a better moment where they will reach way further. Sometimes I wonder why the hell I post here. Eth.

keycoin +100% XC +17%
And XC has yet again the best technical accomplishment of the day. win/win heh. We should get a loveletter back from keycoin devs. with 20 guys on it that should have already happened. I know i piss you of synechist but i just can't get it. And you know i'm not that "pookilex kind, bitching about everything" type of guy that gets a heart attack on every sell wall, threatening to dump his stack every 5 minutes.
XCurrency is by far the best fucking crypto out there!!! I just can't handle seeing it today getting outperformed by a two week old coin based on its old code as a result of a borderline endorsement post from our own dev. I should probably stay away from keyboard for now but its just fucking my mind today.

On Thursday next week you'll be able to download the latest TOR Stick ISO with XChat implemented (for free). Purchasing the physical version will happen in time for delivery by Rev 3.

relax man, XC will be awesome soon enough. Best advice for people is to take a week off and not even watch the prices on mintpal. XC is stable enough that almost nothing can make its prices change, even if another anon coin is succeeding. Look at how Cloak took off, and XC has still been around the same price during that time or just recently gone up a little. People would rather dump other coins than their XC which means alot. XC is not a coin you have to constantly monitor and hope you get out before it gets dumped, infact its the opposite. I would have no problem leaving my XC in my wallet and not checking the price for a month

Basically, the way I see it, two things are happening in altcoinland at the moment: - Speculators are heavily oriented toward pump and dump-style trading, since almost every coin is only worthy of that. - The community is wearying of endless P&D trash, and really wants something solid. But being burned makes them tough customers. XC is clearly not a P&D coin, so those traders are leaving us along for the time being. On the other hand, XC's legitimacy is established but broadcasting it takes some time, since the fastest and most effective broadcasters are P&D-related Twitter accounts who have no interest in demonstrating XC's legitimacy unless it means immediate profits. Thus it'll take a while for XC's credibility to hit critical mass. In any case, all frantic growth is temporary. So I couldn't care if some other coins go up 100% or more in a day. We're doing just fine here. Really.

This is not to try to boost price or something, but it seems like there are not many XC for sell at these prices anymore.
Some other things that I'm really pleased with is that you all guys in the dev team are working hard and delivering some great stuff. You have also started to listen to what people say and really give us more feedback and updates. Thank you, I'm sure your time is not wasted, you will be rewarded greatly!

I really need this to be clarified for tech-illiterates like me. I am extremely interested in this, but I am not sure: downloading the tor stick iso for free will enable us to burn it to a USB and have the very exact features of the official Tor XChat stick? If that's the case, why should some1 buy the original physical version, just for the looks? Not that I mind, but I want to be sure!

We're doing just fine here. Really. yeah i know all that and agree 100%, the daily pumps left and right never bothered me. with keycoin it just feels different.like we made it in house( opensourcing rev1, than the review/advertisement). I know XC is lightyears ahead still and i don't want to get on everybodys nerves with it so this is my last post about key , but those 300k volume would have suited us well today with the current news. I'm so positive about XC that this particular pump really got to me. didn't mean to insult or fud.

Yes you'll be able to download the TOR Stick for free and put it on any removable media you like (or just run it in a virtualised environment). XC will always be free. On the other hand if you want something that looks as cool as this then you'll have to pay a little bit:

There was an attack on the TOR network see : http://www.theverge.com/2014/7/30/5951479/tor-says-unknown-attackers-compromised-hidden-services If my knowledge of XC tech is correct this is actually good news for XC, because it's Xchat functions inside the TOR cloud (instead of relying on the TOR end nodes) which makes Xchat conversations impervious to packet sniffing (the method the attackers used) Furthermore XC's anonymity as a whole does not rely on TOR in general. So XC will function as a safe haven in times where TOR is compromised or under attack. So, even if the TOR network is compromised, the end user of XC will remain anonymous. Before I put these thoughts out on Twitter, could anyone confirm whether I am correct in the above? I don't want to spread hype or fudbait.

Sometimes I wonder why the hell I post here. Eth. point taken - soz. But I am not so bothered about yet another tweeted up coin pump to be honest. I looked at pay pro and really couldn't see the point. I think XC has a future whereas paypro looks short term to me. I haven't looked into it much. Maybe there's something there. Dunno
