You know how we said we'd release the TOR Stick .iso download today?


Well we're releasing the real thing!


XC is very proud to launch its very own store.


Go ahead, buy yourselves TOR Sticks!



- TOR Sticks will be manufactured in batches of 50.


- All orders are currently pre-orders with an estimate arrival date of late August for the first batch.


- So get in there quick! Buy lots!





The PR article says that XC TOR Sticks ship at the release of REV3.  And above you said there is an estimate arrival date of late August for 1st batch of XC TOR sticks...

So, are we to take it that the expected release date of REV3 is in a couple weeks?  Hmm... Smiley

Haha I really doubt that considering the final Rev 2 release is still being worked on Smiley  Either way I hope we do get them at the end of August because I just ordered one.

Is there a download link for the ISO image?

It's not released yet ;-)



Ok, no problem for 20 EUR, but why empty promises?

No it's coming out today.



Arlyn, still coming out this evening? Thinking of staying up late to try out.. Smiley

How to buy in Chinese?

Buy BTC from bter or btc38, then send those btc to either bittrex or Mintpal and buy XC!    You might want to hurry though if you want to buy before that PR campaign that will be starting.

Big things are happening fast... people are going to miss the rocket.

Yeah it looks like we're fast-tracking the TOR Stick to ship before Rev 3...

Wouldn't want to raise expectations without being 100% certain we'll deliver.

question i've been thinking about---- So quoting the staking info from http://www.xc-official.com/staking/

"The total supply of XC increases by 3.33% per year.  There is no central authority that creates or keeps these new coins; instead, coins are created within the XC App.  This means that you stand to earn coins as they are created in your app.
 
The way that the XC network determines which users are given these new coins is based on how many coins users have in their app.  Simply put, over the course of a year, you will earn 3.33% interest on your total funds."

It's counterintuitive to me... If the total supply increases by 3.33% every year it doesn't include those coins not staking on exchanges, so then why would my portion of XC not appreciate more than 3.33% to account for this?
Let's say an exchange holds 25% of all XC and are not staking it--- and the users hold the other 75% and are all staking. Wouldn't those 75% staking see a return of 4.1625% so that the entire XC supply appreciates 3.33%?

thanks Smiley

The wording shouldn't say total supply as not everyone is staking their coins. It should be 3.33% on the coins you stake over a 1 year period.

Also, not sure if people saw the RC2 under downloads that allows you to chat and send the message with the enter key. Smiley

Plus, if an exchange is STAKING OUR COIN THEY SHOULD BE SLAPPED IN THE FACE!

No way NO HOW should all the coins be in a hot wallet like that. That is a HUGE security risk. Lets just ignore users having many XC in an exchange anyways.... much safer in your own wallet on your home computer...plus that secures the network ... read up on POS security issues.

I'm posting this to make people aware of a potential change in reputation of someone relatively well known in the Crypto
community, and someone that I would not have expected this from. I will let people draw their own conclusions, but this
person is involved with many different projects, and care should be taken when doing financial or business transactions
with him, until he can explain the recent events. I know there are many people that have dealt with Jasin in the past with
absolutely no issue, in fact he had been very trustworthy.

ISSUE AT HAND - Fibonacci:

Jasinlee created Fibonacci.io and took pre-orders for Scrypt ASIC devices beginning on 3/17/14. There were many
postings by Jasinlee and others leading up to the opening of pre-orders and when you combine his postings with his
existing reputation in the Crypto realm, and his transparent identity, you have what appears to be a good investment! I
won't go into detail on his posts in the thread promising the moon prior to opening of pre-orders and well after that.

His posts and primary thread on the project can be read on Litecointalk.org at: https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=2702.0

The interesting part mixed in this release is an odd promotion to accept a relatively obscure coin called Cachecoin with
a significant discount over paying with BTC or LTC. At the time, I'm not clear if most knew that Jasin
was involved with the development of Cachecoin with Kalgecin. It had an odd flavor to it, and most should have realized
that there really was no logical explanation of Jasin accepting Cachecoin at a discount, unless he and others
were dumping it to those that began buying it because of the large discount.

My theory is that Jasin accepted Cachecoin as part of a scheme with Kalgecin to sell an otherwise worthless coin and
generate a false marketplace and temporary demand for the coin to allow them to sell their holdings at a significant premium.
Then, when ASIC's are "delayed", offer of Cachecoin refunds (at 1/50th of value) are allowed and they keep the profits from
selling at the premium price when they never intended to deliver a working product.

Fast-forward to August, with countless promises by Jasinlee to have an Exchange setup, ASIC delivered, and countless other
things, and there is no proof that has been provided that any work has even been done by Fibonacci towards a working ASIC. Questions are met with NDA statements, mysterious partners that stole coins, but then were recovered, and many other excuses
with no promises being kept.

Shill Accounts and Questionable Behavior

Further digging into Jasin's online prescence, combined with what appears to be a scam with Fibonacci.io pre-orders and you
have some concerns raised.

Jasinlee's wife's account (one that is known) is named JRBUDDY2 on bitcointalk.com. Posts by her can be read at this link:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=65023;sa=showPosts.

Note one particular thread of interest revolving around a website called coinsflip.com. This site appears to have been
created by Kalgecin, the creator of Cachecoin, and oddly enough, you have both Jasin and JRbuddy2 (wife) in the
thread promoting this site. Some other posters are complaining about fairness of the site, but here's what is relevant to
my post.

Kalgecin is developing the site, Jasin, while posting in the thread as what appears to be a noobie to the site, his wife
also posts under the ID of JRBUDDY2 as a player. They seem to be very happy with this site, and it's quite apparant why now,
it's because Jasinlee is actually the owner of the domain!

http://whatmyip.co/info/whois/207.30.158.106/k/1904453096/website/coinsflip.com

So, allow me some conjecture that Jasinlee, the owner of Fibonacci, developer of Cachecoin who was conspiring with his
wife's account, his own account and Kalgecin's account with coinsflip.com are the same exact players (with others)
involved in the SCRYPT ASIC debacle.

There are other threads in which you can see JRBUDDY and JASINLEE posting within, such as the Cachecoin thread discussing
buying and selling that give an odd appearance, but it's clear that Jasin has some questionable behavior, and is now sitting
holding a good deal of people's money with ASIC preorders that may have been taken under false pretenses.

Potential Options for ASIC Purchasers

He has many, many ventures, and I made the mistake of trusting him with $18,000 worth of ASIC pre-orders because I did
my research on him, and knew everything about him that I needed to. I was wrong, sometimes things are not as they appear.

He has done a lot of good, Devtome.org appears like a decent project, but please heed this warning to beware of dealing
with him until he clears his name on this Fibonacci.io ASIC debacle.

If you did order an ASIC with Fibonacci.io, I suggest you file a report in all of these places:

http://www.flofr.com/staticpages/bureauoffinancialinvestigations.htm
http://myfloridalegal.com/pages.nsf/main/18a7753257fe439085256cc9004ec4f7
http://www.coj.net/departments/sheriffs-office/investigations-division/economic-crimes-unit.aspx

You may also choose to pursue legal action against Jasinlee. In Florida, where he lives, $5000 is the statutory limit for small claims (plus you can recoup fees, lawyer and interest on top of that), so any bigger orders will go the lawsuit route. None of us want to make lawyers rich off of this, but I don't take kindly to being scammed. Feel free to contact me for additional information or questions.

Personal Commentary
Jasin is very good at manipulation and wordplay, so I'm sure he'll have an answer for every question, albeit empty and contentless. You have to read between the lines with Jasin. He has already attempted to discredit me by stating that I threatened his family in PM. Again, wordplay, as I told him that if he is scamming, his family won't see him for a while when he goes to jail for fraud. I did tell him I planned on pursuing legal and criminal action against him, so if that is the threat he speaks of, he is 100% correct. If he is referring to anything else, I hope he can provide the
proof of that libelous statement.

Wrap-up

In closing (TLDR) - Be wary of dealing with Jasinlee (Jasin Hudgins), Cachecoin, XC, Devtome, and any other projects that Jasin is
involved with, until he makes things right with people who purchased an ASIC from him nearly 5 months ago for a supposed July delivery.
