NEVER do a rollback. I can't take any coin that does a rollback seriously, because then you've just elected the dev as your central authority. Why not just use fiat if you're ok with that?
My understanding is that PoS requires consensus on 51% or more of the coins? If this is the case and the dev holds 51% of the coins ... then it's working like it should isn't it? Please do not insinuate in any way ATC is holding anywhere near that amount

Looking forward to a bright future here.
future is always bright if you have a faith in it XC has been at a base of 120-140k sats for months now. Really, anyone getting in now is "smart money," & an "early adopter." The price is only going to go up... no one is willing to sell below this base, that much is clear -- and XC is daily getting stronger, more innovative, and increasing it's investor support / market awareness. As the saying goes, "the longer the base, the higher in space." See you guys at the moon.

Everybody keeps saying it will go up and there is no reason that it shouldn't go up, but it is just frozen with people holding it.

Damn, it's awfully quiet in here and on the exchange. A friend I recently convinced about XC wants to buy 25 btc worth of XC. Anyone willing to sell otc? Please PM me.
Here's an idea: - every so often, some of us will want to sell XC to pay salaries, rent, etc. - why don't we post the amount and asking price here and see if there are any takers? - if there's a deal, trades can take place on Mintpal, which will keep the volume up. - and the community will understand the reason for selling rather than being perturbed/outraged at the stupidity of sellers. P.S. This was Bisky's idea. Thanks Bisky! P.P.S. This would only make sense to those who want to see the price head upwards but still need to sell some XC. Good plan

But, shouldn't this be done on a separate sub-thread? I mean, XC trade thread could deal with whatever people want to exchange. Possibly... But that would remove one of its advantages, which is to let community members know what the selling is for. I reckon that sell offers should be posted publicly, negotiated privately, and then final agreements to trade posted publicly. After that the community can sit back and watch the trade take place on Bitcoinwisdom. For a coin that is based on privacy, this discussion seems a bit odd to me. Why should I disclose to the community that I am selling some XC? What about buying XC, should we make that public too? Or is it just to calm the ones that freak out when the price goes down? Why try and centralize the trading of a decentralized currency? I'm confused.

24hr volume on mintpal - 8 btc... stalemate.
Don't think I've ever seen the volume this low for XC.

If you want to sell just go to the exchange and don't hang your dirty linen out in public. You will end up convincing others to sell for similar reasons when they may have just held.

XC will rollback? I agree with no rollback. One idea is to embark upon a community PSA describing the dangers of holding on an exchange and reinforcing the reasons for maintaining XC in personal wallets. A sort of guide that would act as a FAQ and/or How-to that could be of benefit to new users and other communities as well.... We need to be encouraging personal responsibility here since alt coins are designed to be held by the individual. Education is key and it isn't really too difficult even for the non tech inclined... Just a thought...

XC was never envisioned as being 100% private for all transactions, there are many legitimate use cases where a user won't want to turn on privacy. They key thing is XC empowers the user with the choice.

XC will rollback? They were speaking hypothetically, in reference to NXT / VRC, if XC were to face a similar scenario.

If it's decided by a weighted vote in accordance with how much XC you own, a rollback would never happen.
Lots of the people who kept funds on the exchange would have taken a big hit to their XC reducing their voting power. And the majority of people who were unaffected (50%+) will never vote for the rollback.
Come From Beyond (NXT dev) tried to be subtle with his phrasing but he was pushing for a rollback imo. But the NXT votes via forging were massively against it. I own >1% of NXT and in my position where I could lose a lot of money, would rather see the price take a hit from panic and the thief dumping, then NXT losing all integrity and going on a death spiral and forever suffering FUD.
This is one reason why I think if we ever implement a voting system, the votes are weighted by the amount of XC you own (disclaimer - I own a lot, but I would honestly advance this viewpoint regardless. The same way I was against the Vericoin rollback and posting my thoughts without owning any).

Good plan Just have to put my two cents in This seems counterintuitive to me as we are a privacy first currency and platform. There will be many community members not wanting to disclose that type of information to the public, myself included. We all know the downside to holding xc on exchanges but that's an integral part of crypto and we haven't seen anything yet. As larger investors enter xcurrency there will also be major traders right beside them looking to gain quick profits; even btc hasn't been able to escape this yet. Anyone who gets angry at traders should probably not be in crypto, without them btc would never have hit 1200, a price that garnered international media attention. My vote is to continue on with private transactions. If someone shows an interest in purchasing xc it can easily be done through xchat or private messaging.

This should be a decision the devs make before there is an attack on xc. Having a weighted vote means centralized control over xcurrency. I personally don't want the wealthiest xc investors making decisions that will affect me financially. If people lose they're xc on exchanges they should be on their own.
