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

[IMJim]

Am I actually invested in some kind of future "official" small company that will be focused on engineering privacy back into our everyday lives on the world wide web? That's kind of the sense I'm getting seeing the work done here. It's really amazing. Well done!

Absolutely, everyday that goes by this looks less like an alt and more like a decentralized, potentially mainstream, life changing platform and currency.  

The alt scene is absolutely scary now.   Did you guys hear about zipcoin being a total scam where it's not only a pump and dump, but it actually go and actively steal other coins wallets?  

So... PSA:  Encrypt your wallet, people!

XC is unlike 99% of the altcoins.  It has a professional dev team and a real plan to make some impact in delivering privacy back to the people.

Ha I had no idea that had happened... everyday theres some bs scam or hack going on.... good thing my wallets encrypted and backed up on 27 different usb drives, 6 hard drives, private keys drilled into brass and in a fire proof, water proof, state of the art biometric vault that requires fingerprint, retina scan, and voice recognition to open.

I have my private keys tattoed on my left buttock, trust me no one will look there.

HA!  For XC I would consider:-)

Why not buy from Mintpal.com? They have a cheaper exchange fee.

[Artoodeetoo]

Because they were cheaper at crypt

Yes, that is what I have been saying from the beginning (I've been here since May) This isn't an ordinary "coin" it's an investment in a company that is building a decentralized privacy platform. Hold your coins for the long term.

In July Thor detected and patched a "relay early" traffic confirmation attack that was ongoing since February. It might have been the researchers that canceled their Black Hat 2014 speech about deanonymizing Thor with a 3k$ budget (not sure if monthly or over 5 months). I don't use Thor but a great read nevertheless:

Yeah, that was a bummer.

Nice to know that the TOR Stick doesn't use exit nodes and so is invulnerable to that attack. ;-)

Morning all

We're gonna have quite a day today. I hope you're all ready.

For now, a refresher on yesterday night's surprise news:

Thus far we've got:


- XChat


- The TOR Stick



Well we now have...


XChat that connects to TOR nodes!


This is the new version of XChat (2.47g), downloadable now:

- Windows

- Ubuntu


How to connect to TOR:

When you install it, you'll find "xcurrency.conf" in the installation folder that you selected during the installation.

Copy "xcurrency.conf" to %appdata%/roaming/xcurrency and you're good to go!


About how it connects to TOR:

XChat over TOR works just fine with other nodes, whether these are on TOR or not.

XChat over TOR is not as secure as XChat in the TOR Stick, which has its own node built-in. Instead it connects to external TOR nodes. But it's pretty intensely private anyway.




See you all tomorrow for the TOR Stick release...

so Dan just secretly sneaked in TOR functionality in today's update?  
do we have to look for hidden features in future updates too?  

You still need the tor-browser bundle, I just included a TOR seed node.


At this time, TOR will be kept outside of the wallet, so that TOR can be updated separately outside of the wallet... So moving forward we will keep those 2 software stacks separate.


This update just enables Windows or Linux users to download the TOR Browser bundle and quickly enable XC to use TOR


if you want ONLY TOR connections, use onlynet=TOR, if your okay with also reaching IPV4 nodes OVER TOR, you can leave that out


XCHat has been extensively tested over TOR and you can communicate with NON-TOR users and TOR users at the same time.

What I mean is that coins like BC/NXT/XC/DRK who are/used to be super stable with steady innovation that is ALL known in the roadmap are going to have a lot of people "selling" at some point because of the lack of surprise. You don't think you have to be in the coin 100% of the time as it's steady and incoming innovation is known.

When I'm short in BTC to invest in some other coin, what coin do you think I sell first to get some liquidity ? Well these 4 for SURE... I know they are not going to move a lot, I know the roadmap, there usually isn't anything that is going to make the price change much in the short term. If there were more ninja launch stuff I would keep these instead as I wouldn't want to miss the boat.

make sense ?

This is the first explanation about the price development that actually makes sense to me
