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

[Artoodeetoo]

Synechist,

Here is a link to all of the Guardian contact information, they carry out regular Snowden updates and have mentioned him being on encrypted chat etc etc

http://www.theguardian.com/help/contact-us

Here is a link to all the snowden articles

http://www.theguardian.com/world/edward-snowden

Could be worth reading before reaching out to them....

My initial thought though is to use one of these two contacts, to get a better contact on who to approach about this

Here is a quote from one of his lectures...

"In his lecture, titled "You’ve Lost Privacy, Now They’re Taking Anonymity (aka Whistleblowing is Dead – Get Over It)", he spoke in vivid numbers and geographies. He said that every time I crossed nearby Bryant Park, I would be photographed 150 times, and that only five percent of my face was necessary to enable facial recognition software. Such software would be able to instantly summon up a profile that would include all the available information about me, released voluntarily on social networks or collected involuntarily by big data."

Sounds like he would love XC

Thank you sir! That's great. I now have several links to follow up on :-)

Just don't ask Snowden to install any closed source software, because he won't.

NP - can we have a snowden branded TOR stick lol

[synechist]

I'm chatting to Cryptogretzky, Ballzdeep, and Getmining.info on XChat, and...

It's awesome! - even if several UI-tweaks are still to be done.

Woohoo!

You can all PM me on the following:

Address: mjHo9YHXpTjG7JNHAubNwHtUbGMuipazLC

Public key: xaA54eUpEPQcafpe6Q9s6fq2tTR6EdBNXNaL8MP9J47S

First test out for me. Pretty simple. Went to the address book and entered Synechist's address. Right click > messages. Entered the Pubkey and now we're chatting. Time for some experiments.

***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.

Bumping for anyone who missed this.

Guess i'm the ranter of the day today  , whatever , just don't like how they don't play the ball back.

I ran out of coffee, could have shortened my fuse,

Don't want to go to bed angry so lets close this on a positive note.
Technically this was a great Day for XC and i appreciate that and the work the team is doing to the fullest.
Dan youre probably still pissed at me but keep up the great work , just be carefull to not get taken advantage of.  
Good night guys and have fun chatting away en privée.  

[Artoodeetoo]

Maybe we should have a daily update and a ranter of the day award

[CryptoGretzky]

Would advise people to add their XChat address to their footer to show the other communities as you post in them.   That way, they will wonder what is this XChat thing is.

Dan could you please reach the Keycoin dev and ask to give a bit of respect to yourself and the XC community by stating that you are the XC main dev and not just a respected programmer?

"As requested by the community, our anonymous transaction system has been reviewed by a cryptocurrency programming expert"

Thank you.

I am completely positive about Dan helping with other cryptos and providing feedback---but I also too believe he and XC are NOT being given enough credit by the official Keycoin devs. If there's something else that might benefit XC in short to medium term, considering keycoin, then great, but for now, it just seemed a bit unrewarding for XC

[G-Bert]

oh my god!... i just wrote a fucking essay about everything! prices, exchanges, how i love the team, and instead of clicking send i somehow clicked the back button....

probably for the best actually, coz im spannered, lol. (was all positive though!)


actually, my original point was, what exchange is most trustworthy? ive gone cryptsy - mintpal - bittrex - and now back on mintpal... im not gonna be able to relax till i got my coins on a paper wallet or perhaps rev 3...

p.s. moon come soon!
