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

....why isn't the xc releases signed with pgp and why download files don't have any checksums.
We need to be 100% careful, hackers are targeting all crypto.

Fully agree.
We should all urge devs on this as a top priority.
TAILS is a nice example how it can be handled https://tails.boum.org/download/index.en.html
Right (and rather simple) tools like PGP, SHA256 brings BIG results.
Hard to overvaluate them...

...Also xc official homepage isn't very friendly, the slide down buttons may be gimmicky but it is covering the other links ...

Right.  But I can live with that. Not a deal breaker

I'm sure there are big plans for the Homepage  

In regards to the Checksum for Downloads, i think that's a very good idea and also shows a very good pro active approach to security.  The fact no one has been able to claim the bounty shows the coding behind the platform is being checked and tested extremely well before release.  As XC currency is the new platform for users to interact with the next generation Crypto Xcurrency.  If you take a step back and look at the whole industry as it is, rather than the current perceived value of what can only be described as fad old generation "coins".  You will see it's about time for the dust to settle and the innovations with REAL value to take point in regards to representing the technology to the world.  Seriously Darker Coin..... Super Duper Coin ...... Master of Universe coin...... Where are they really heading?  XC Next generation Xcurrency on the other hand, is moving forward like a train through 10Ft of snow, clearing the way for the others to FOLLOW.  It's about time people really understood what is going on.

Using v0.9.2.47g.XCurrency-2.47, My client has 8 connections, stacking is working fine. I'm connected through wireless router to modem and then through our cable tv connection. I tried deleting my chat.dat.

If you make a screen-capturing vid and browse through your wallet we can have a better look at what might be wrong. Hard to tell what would be the problem without knowing the information that is provided is correct. Could be something got mixed up with the addresses or public key

I'll look into it later when I have some time to spare. Thanks all for the help so far though, I'm sure it is a minor thing.

Synechist did you receive the message I send you btw? Just so I know if there at least is one way open.

Are you on a Mac perhaps?

The Mac XChat had some bugs that are being worked out.

[synechist]

hey synechist... sorry I had to go for a short while but I'm back...
I've received your chat...

hopefully you received mine

Yup, received and replied a moment ago.

Sorry, I was away too.

Can someone shoot me a message to see if I have XChat set up correctly? Thanks.

I came here to see if I could find any really technical discussion about comparing the full algorithm of SUPER & XC.
I guess I was expecting a little too much.

I can clearly see the flow & algorithm of SUPER's multi-sig transaction here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=736705.msg8324932#msg8324932

But it seems I need to really dig deep & search to see anything like this for XC. (while still being not as detailed)
Out of the guys here badmouthing other coins, how many actually know XC's algorithm as much as the other coin?
I'm no dev currently but am technical & can read a little through the code.

It would be quite handy as a potential investor to at least know more about XC's implementation.
It would be great if someone can at least compare their algorithm to see which "may" be better.
BTW, I've never FUD ever in BCT. Hopefully you guys don't see it this way. I own some XC also!
(i must admit, I'm currently  more invested in Super right now though. I'm sure many know. =p)

I love big whitepaper pictures. I MEAN, THE PICTURE CLEARLY SAYS THE WHOLE TRUTH, RIGHT?


You are free to invest in whatever coin you want, super is really cheap right now, and it might get you a good ROI idd. The only sure thing dude, is you are going to reinvest that back to XC and augment ur position.

Since you know how to read some code, you are more than welcome to check the 1.5rev source, since ATCsecure opened that. The whole keycoin concept is based on that source btw. Just keep in mind that our current rev is years ahead of that one.



Keep in mind that Dan promised a whitepaper by tomorrow, if he hasnt already(didnt check previous pages)

Dan's previous releases have had checksums, etc. so in general this is what we do already.

Not sure why the latest builds don't...

Received. Thanks to all the devs for their tireless efforts.

Wokeup today to my PC unable to start windows. AWESOME.

Ststem restore to the most recent date failed twice, trying the next date back now... I backed up my wallet.dat a few weeks ago but have bought some more XC and staked some since then so I'm hoping system restore gets all my XC back!

Lesson learned back your XC up regularly.

you only need to backup your wallet.dat once.
Your wallet.dat does not contain your coins... the blockchain does.
When needed your backup will update on the blockchain and you will have your coins

If you have a new adress (like one for xchat) than you need to backup again.

Good to know, maybe I'm ok then. Although I think I created a new receiving address in my XC wallet for the recent buys I've made on mintpal so I'm guessing I still may be in trouble?

If you didn't backed up the wallet.dat with your new adress for receiving from mintpal you could be in trouble.

is it possible to extract your wallet.dat from the corrupt windows?
it is on directory C:\Users\"your username"\AppData\Roaming\xcurrency

Not sure about that but hopefully... I just did a system restore to an older date and it said it was successful but then when I restarted my computer I got the same error that windows wouldnt start. I'll probably have to bring it in for someone to look at.  I appreciate the help tho!

i think you're fine as long you have an old backup of your wallet. just reinstall xc client when your computer is fixed, copy old wallet.dat to data directory (%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\XCurrency) and start xcurrency. then wait until it's fully synchronized.

only thing that could be, if you gave label to the newly created addresses it might be reset to "(no label)" since this is stored in the wallet.dat.

Good advice. If you've created <100 new addresses since your last backup of your wallet.dat, it'll automatically be able to recreate any addresses created after the backup.
