Nope. There are 5 inputs (4 of them went to zero balance). 18 different outputs has received 10 XC... so, there are 90 possible guesses just from that alone. So, you have like a 1 out of 90 chances to blindly guess right. LOL. |

I don't like posting, but some of the nonsense going on here is bothering me. Let's throw out the comparisons, analogies, and whatever story you got. You need to look at the main picture. What's going on? Look at the market. It's shit. Mining is worse than ever. Wallets infected with malware becoming more common. Uninspiring coins cashing in on the latest trend, well that's the same shit different day deal. It used to be anon, multisig, now it's anon + market, smart contracts, magical tech. MintPal used to have 2,000+ btc daily volume traded. Bittrex, still p&d central. Most are just uninspiring p&d coins that get left for dead, repeat ad nauseam. ICO/IPOs end up being a quick P&D with no future. The point? This is how money leaves the alt scene. Confidence dwindles. XC was once labeled as a Fedora clone hack job. The dev a scammer. This was only a few months ago. Now he's getting paid by other developers/communities to verify their goods. It shows ATC as a businessman, XC as a leader. Who do you want in charge of development if you want to make money? So what if a new developer on the scene wants to push out innovative ideas and useful features? He can inspire confidence by submiting proof of code. Clean, legit, innovative, certified to fly. Otherwise you get paired up with the bad of the cryptoworld. Look at every new announcement thread. POD! POD! POD!, what's the points of this shitcoin? You can open source all your goodies, but you know what happens after that. People use your tech, don't even credit you, run a quick p&d and leave the scene worse off. Case in point, Shadow with all its clones. These reviews help the entire alt scene. An interesting thing to note. Supercoin devs said in their whitepaper a long time ago (phase one era) that Cloak had no idea what trustless meant. If Cloak had proof of code done would they have even gotten pumped? We saw the results of their 3rd party audit and its effect. How many people got burned on this? How many of them are bitter and are trolling other threads? As for development on XC. Solidify the foundation. This means bulletproofing network, security and privacy features. Have you paid attention to some of the issues that have popped up for other coins? Network and security issues. If only they had someone on their team who was an expert in these fields. People already forgot about the ad hosting collab service. This is a ground breaking idea and it's just the beginning. I don't like coin hyping so I will stop there. If you feel depressed over XC's market, just look at Dan's linkedin. http://www.linkedin.com/pub/dan-metcalf/12/1a8/b82As for the fudders, let them eat stake. I put a tiny buy at 0.00127400 on Mint and a bunch of bots (I assume) cut ahead of me. I'll play your game +1. Not to mention, once the p&d's come down xc can snatch up any talent that was on the team. |

I don't wanna quote mecc for the viewing pleasure of forum threads but basically what I think too. Stop being needy and whiny like a bunch of babies. I think sometimes XC thread is way too polite for certain kind of people. It's like an open invitation for the said people who refuse to accept terms with reality.
Dan alone is the real reason why we are in the top 15 market cap. He knows what he's doing. Next time before doubting his abilities and feeling entitled that he owes you, remind yourself that you're no different than those p&ds people who will gtfo the very first moment they make a decent gain. Do we really need those short sighted investors? No, thank you. Better get rid of them right now.

Such a poor analogy. You are comparing a car company, which is a profit seeking venture with shareholders witha community based venture that will eventually be an open source project for the benefit of anyone, not just shareholders.
Can you see the very vast difference between a company with shareholders and a profit motive and something like Bitcoin?
Bitcoin or XC is very very different to a profit seeking corporation
You didn't get the point of my post or your just avoiding it. Either way, I know my example wasn't the best, but it got my general opinion across and its not worth arguing over the details of my example scenario like this. Constructively discussing ideas and providing opinions with the XC community is always a good thing. ok, apologies if I misunderstood or misconstrued you |

Constructively discussing ideas and providing opinions with the XC community is always a good thing. Exactly, this will prove to be the fatal flaw for most non-outright P&D cryptocurrency projects. Coins need active development and promotion. And no one has the incentive to do this in the basic model. You need to have some arrangement in place to incentivize those who assume these tasks. You might call it centralization  |

I'm a little concerned. Dan is reviewing the code of other coins. They tend to do well even though in my opinion they don't offer anything spectacular. I understand Dan needs to eat and pay the bills, but what about XC? reminds me of an old adage my father used to tell me: Shoe repair guy is so busy and successful fixing everyone else's shoes but he forgets to fix his own shoes and they eventually wear down and break (was trying to write this as well as I could because it was told to me in Russian many years ago so excuse my translation). Yes, I get the same impression. They put out one lame press release after another but they can't generate any new interest, as evidenced by the falling volume: http://www.cryptocoincharts.info/period-charts.php?period=3-months&resolution=day&pair=xc-btc&market=mintpalI'm a XC bagholder and I don't like what I'm seeing. We have a former Microsoft guy working on the marketing, right? What's he been up to recently? The way I look at it is, that this calendar year we have seen the altcoin market explode, with hundreds of coins being issued, and the whole thing is still kinda in a state of chaos. There is just too much to take in, and it will still take awhile for the dust to settle. But in time I think some coins will remain, and come into use in transactions. XC stands a good chance IMHO when I compare it to the others I see. On the other hand this space is still so wild and unpredictable that what actually happens will probably be nothing like I imagine There is still the odd very interesting innovation appearing. We may even see hundreds of thousands of coins and coins as a currency of self expression as Andreas Andropoulos suggested in a talk I saw. |

sorry for the weak analogy, I deleted my original post after Synechist fully addressed it. Thank you for showing some maturity and not implying I am a shortsighted whiny baby or fudding, because I have an opinion on a topic related to XC (which I'm heavily invested in for the longterm). You must have caught me on a good day All the best. |

Indeed they are a bargain at the moment.. Once a few more chunky buys kick in we will rise pretty fast, then the sheep will come and see rev 2 is round the corner... 6 days to go! |
