something weird happened... I was in youtube as usual but I could not watch any videos... the site was working but the videos did not download and there was always the wheel thing in the video...
Then I connected with the Tor Browser and now I can watch the videos?
Does this mean that my IP address was haked? Or what does it mean?
The Freaky thing is that I am sub to many anti illuminati channels and today I subbed to a new channel of a guy that makes anti illuminati videos and got his old account shut down twice already... but ... don't burn your laptop jet, just download the TOR stick:) Joking aside, yes it is strange, watching YT over tor is not so easy, your direct link sould work better/faster. Guess we all need privacy

The salty tears caused by un-diversified bad investments. No. They are caused by lies and business practices that would land you in prison in a regulated world. It's great to see the XC camp is still fully invested in Jasinlee's success. I lost way more putting money into a coin and I didn't have a problem with it. Because I was not lied to. And I was not used to extract 99% value out of the pump of a shitcoin and then offered a 1% refund in an extremely pre-meditated action. P.S. You guys expect me to go away but keep mis quoting my statements or the situation. If you'll shut up about it I will. (I would still like a statement that no money was received from Jasinlee post ASIC project funds being received by him) Here is your STATEMENT - NO MONEY was received by Jasinlee EVER. Thank you for the communication Dan. We're waiting on confirmation for this, with proof ( as Teka always asks for) , from Jason aka Jasinlee. Once that has been resolved and once Jasin proves he has enough money to either refund or order the units, we'll be out of your way. However, if this goes unresolved or Jasin continues to prioritize his role with you over finishing what he started with us, we'll be hearing more of each other. Hey, maybe we'll be friends after all of this. PS just bought some more XC to see if this rev 2 pump actually pans out.

Imagine if you owned a ton of stock in a high-end luxury car company. But the lead designer/developer of these high-end cars, is paid by low-end car companies in his spare time, to review their car's features and release a statement like "this low-end car's features are safe and well made" (resulting in an immediate increased demand for the low-end car company's stock, because they received a stamp of approval from a high-end company). Then the plan is, by continuing to legitimize and confirm the quality of their low-end competitors, the demand for the high-end car's stock will eventually go up because the public will respect their expertise for confirming the quality of other cars? Seriously? As an investor in the luxury car company, you may hope that they use their higher quality as a competitive advantage, leveraged to increase the distance between them and their low-end competitors. Instead the company is actively promoting the quality of their competitors and closing that gap. Then trying to further justify it by saying its good for the industry and will help keep consumers safe? How about we market how much better our own technology is, try to entice consumers to buy our product, which can provide them with that high level of safety and confidence that is lacking in the industry. I can't blame Dan for wanting to make money, but damn. At least be honest in the statement and say "hey Dan is going to use his knowledge to review the code of some other coins for a little extra income". It doesn't take a business guru to see that this is not effective promotion for XC.
Very well said.

This is why Developers (programmers/coders) don't make savvy business owners. Google was started by 2 developers, they quickly hired a business person to run the business side of the business. Maybe XC needs to get someone who's been in operations and leadership an opportunity to call the shots. Let's get this coin off the ground.
I've ran businesses in the past - combination of success and failure. One thing I learned is that running a $100K company is different from running a $1M company and running a $5M company - and so on. I've learned to hire experts and people who are smarter than me to help me run my companies.

I think the same montreal, developer team MUST dedicate ALL TIME in XC Your scenario here is not analogous to the world of cryptocurrency: 1) Market players are not highly visible 2) Scams are rife 3) New projects continually bring new innovations to the market None of these apply to the world of cars. I think it was Hoertest who summarised XC's advantage here very well: - Supporters of other coins get to hear about XC. (1) - XC gets to establish itself as the paragon of security and legitimacy. (2) - XC gets to see every piece of new code that comes out, and benefit from it if there's anything useful there (3) So do you get it now? Also, a lot of the criticism of these reviews is completely cockeyed. Investors want Dan to focus purely on XC so that they get a return on investment? No: - XC is already the technology leader. New tech from Dan isn't going to magically transform XC's value. A return on investment has to do with real-world market adoption, not some quick pump. This has been XC's plan from the beginning. Be patient. - Dan himself wants a return on investment more than anyone else, and holds more XC than most. So what possible incentive would he have to not work toward this end? Think about it. Code reviews really make sense, for the reasons given above.

i think the status Dan recieves threw those reviews will benefit xc in the long run.
That beeing said i don't think the main marketing strategy for xc in general should be based around building a person cult around him. that doesn't suite well with the idea of decentralisation that XCurrency stands for. but i don't think thats the plan.
As one part of the puzzle its defenatly beneficial to establish Dan as a institution in the crypto scene. He is getting approached to approve other devs codes, thats the message that stands and every member of reviewed coins community will remember after the short pump is over. I also think its a great thing that he gets to look at alot of the competitions approaches. keeps the creativity up. inspiration is never a bad thing.
In short, good addition to PR, shouldn't be the centre.
+1. Spot on.

Let it not be said that XC hasn't performed well during dump season: Sep 2: Top Weekly Performers: @XCurrency +3.97% @SaveCoinDev -0.34% @Bitcoin -0.34% @Feathercoin -0.51% http://goo.gl/jBCXam #xcurrency XC has also consistently been the top quarterly performer.

ASAP. It's my job. Just so much going on here. It's easy to draft, but takes hours to convert to BBcode. While we're on the topic of my agenda: - There will be a few press releases this week unveiling new features of Rev 2 - On Monday we release the final Rev 2 update, not Rev 2.5 - There will be other news on Monday too. P.S. For the sake of those still confused about Rev 2: we released trustless mixing on 7/7/14, and since then have been building out the privacy functions. Monday is the final update to Privacy Mode before we move on to the UI and the distributed content delivery service.
