Tomorrow's news...? From the UTIL thread... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=797900.0--- Where we currently stand: We are pleased to announce that currency developer Dan Metcalf has decided to take part in the effort to make Utility the most advanced platform for block chain 2.0 functionality as outlined in our introduction document. Three other developers have offered their support and we are currently courting one other renowned developer. These developers wish to stay anonymous while the project grows, but they have agreed to reveal themselves in the future. Mr. Metcalf stated: "When I learned that Utility coin was created with a vision that seeks not only to be a currency or to build on features of other coins, but rather be a launching pad for advanced blockchain features through collaboration of multiple and potentially unlimited development teams, I was intrigued to learn more. After discussing the long term plans with the Utility team I decided to join the initiative. We as cryptocurrency developers must answer the call and to realize the potential of this platform. I encourage other developers to join in the effort as well and I look forward to working with the Utility team and other collaborators." hopefully this are not the news of tomorrow as it somehow wouldn't fit to "singularly" news Speaking of collaboration, stay tuned for some singularly good news today or tomorrow.

We clarified this matter here. To repeat it: [UtilityCoin]
Hi all I can confirm that Dan specifically requested that nothing from Util be published without his prior review, but they went ahead regardless. Dan is, however, interested in consulting with Util, specifically regarding their http-vpn tech. Most importantly, the intention is for all collaboration to benefit XC. In this case, our plans will benefit XC massively. I can't release details just yet, but it's quite likely that we'll let the word out tomorrow or the next day. It's a particularly major development.

We are pleased to announce that currency developer Dan Metcalf has decided to take part in the effort to make Utility
the most advanced platform for block chain 2.0 functionality as outlined in our introduction document. but rather be a launching pad for advanced blockchain features through
collaboration of multiple and potentially unlimited development teams This sounds much like SuperNET.

I don't think they ever left, they probably just stayed as shareholders and moolah told them what to do, sorry 'managed' them.

Their blog says everyone has until October 31st to withdraw. It is likely down for maintenance reasons? This is form their statement: MintPal will be coming down immediately – in light of critical errors being disclosed. The new management team will be making a number of stability changes, UI improvements and bug fixes. They will also be handling the resolution of issues surrounding missing balances. An update will be following on mintpal.com shortly, with details of further timeframes. I bet the site won't be online until the 31th of October ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) unbelievable how they managed to kill mintpal in just a few weeks

Dan reviewing other coin's code is the best marketing strategy XC could have.
All of the other coin's investor's see their coin's code was reviewed by a guy named Dan, and so they look him up...
This leads them to XC... and because they are already invested in a coin that Dan is reviewing they are more likely to invest in XC.
This is a VERY high yield marketing strategy, and money cannot buy better leads than this.
yeah no. I see a dev reviewing shitcoins and I see a developer who isn't excited enough about his own project to funnel all of his energy there. Throw in the fact that the coins are competing - I see a developer who doesn't understand the term conflict of interest. So no. That's not what everyone sees. I see a revolutionary coin and a revolutionary approach to the community. The tech is great and still under heavy development -> so be patient. The approach to the crypto community is revolutionary in the sense that we as a community take on this financial privacy centered innovation together. The world has been in conflict ever since the current elite has existed. It has always been a method http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divide_and_rule to separate the people and getting them not to accomplish their goals and see the real problems. This is exactly how most people view crypto as well at the moment; they support one team and all the rest is bad. You dont realize this is the revolution the world has been waiting for, for a long time! It's so damn early in the game you actually get to question the development of coins. It's like facebook when they where still programming it. There are no losers in this scene, since everyone here is already aware of these developments. I understand it's hard to look at this with a new set of eyes, it's a whole new paradigm. (you've learned to view the world in conflict) Let developers learn and cooperate with each others. Most coins will fail, but not the lessons they bring the community. We are evolving at a rate that is unlike anything else! A lot of coins will serve very specific niches of the market. I trust XC with their "odd approach" to make the same kind of gutt based decisions as the team has done until now. I have faith that the coins that cooperate from the view of sharing strengths will boost each other and get this community to an entire new level I literally would kiss you if you stood next to me <3 great post and I agree 100%.

Cool bud, thank you again! Can you point me to the instructions for setup though, I was not able to find them.
There aren't any. You can just download it, install it, and pay coins into it. :-) Oh man, please excuse my ignorance but are you referring to downloading the latest wallet as I don't see anything to download. Maybe I am just wrong, but I thought there was something more to do than just install the regular wallet to run a node. If this is the case, I guess I am already running one since I already have a normal wallet. Apologies, been really tough to stay in the loop!
