Another PDF released with pretty graphics and meaningless buzz words.  Magic.  Perhaps George Galloway is not aware of the corruption.  George Galloway, are you on bitcointalk?

We haven't chatted about XC for a few weeks, but last time it was the subject of conversation, we were looking at some pretty awesome new privacy tech to potentially implement.

Potential tech to implement?  Sounds very impressive.  Is the privacy tech you discuss actually just the removal of your website and forums?  Dan needs more privacy from the trolls?

Why BLOCK price has fallen so much recently?

Not a clue I'm afraid.

Personally it looks rather nuts to me. Sell before the decentralised exchange is released? Crazy.

At least it's actually a very low volume. Perhaps it's just a couple of people who need the BTC or something.

I think it probably has something to do with all your links dying on the main post:

Now that's what I call deprecated stealth mode.

I can't see how there can be much trust in block ( of which i hold many) after XC (which i hold a fair amount of) was totally ruined by taking it off the board and dan just vanishing. If they were not trying to make it look like a abandoned project they totally have done so.
Just holding the coins now as hardly worth selling. Totally learned my lesson with those.

hilarious ... maybe there was something to 'ole what's his face's ranting about using embedded images so you could take them down later haha.

Just 'cuz you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.

You'll see that all the images are hosted on xc-official.com, which I can only assume is the 'official' X-Currency site.
Going there gives you a blank GoDaddy page......

Does anyone here follow what is happening in the XC slack forum?
I notice the shares have been heading down again......anyone know what is going on?
Thanks

There is no "XC slack forum."

They started a rumor there is one as a smokescreen.

Now the story is some blather about 'stealth mode' and relaunch.

Why not do it right the first time?

If they were wrong the first time, why would the second time be much different?

When the Cryptonote (Monero) whitepaper appeared, XC became obsolete.

No there definitely was one as I joined it and had some discussion there. But my free hushmail account expired so I haven't gone in to check out the discussion.
Why did you think it was only a rumor?

The cryptonote whitepaper did not come from Monero though. Cryptonote was not invented by the Monero team.
Here is the cryptonote whitepaper.

how could a Monero paper be the cryptonote whitepaper?

maybe they are trying to FUD their own coin to shake out the weak hands and buy up all the cheap coins at the bottom?

lol jk

more likely this coin is dead and some group is just trying to use big words and graphics to pump and dump again

buyer beware

I own some Monero ( a few actually). I like the way the devs interact here.
But when I see Monero fanboys having to constantly hype the coin and troll threads about other coins I tend to think that the original cryptonote coin might be where it is at. https://bytecoin.org/cryptonote/

And now even the XC thread has become MONERO thread.

Well XC certainly isn't using it.

Why don't you go back to complaining about Monero in the Dash thread?

I can't believe anyone still decides to involve themselves with anything Dan or synechist do.

Does anyone who was in to XC remember in the official thread how much synechist absolutely insisted that Blocknet would not slow down XC development at all? To the point of getting annoyed at people who questioned the idea at all?

I wonder if he believed that at the time or he was just doing his PR thing as he's paid to do.

I actually wonder if even he feels betrayed by Dan at this point. I don't think he knew that Dan was quietly selling off the XC premine or that Dan was building an alliance with Prometheus. I remember he wasn't happy at all learning about the premine thing, and that he didn't think Dan was one to have done that behind everyone's back.

And doesn't the fact that XC needed a full time PR person working and spinning things speak volumes about the project? He seemed to have done a good job at keeping a good amount of believers strung along for as long as he could despite all the bullshit that was clearly going on. There are probably a bunch of people even now who still believe in Dan and synechist as there's not much point in selling their XC at four figure satoshi prices. Wasn't XC worth a few dollars at one point too?

People really need to get over their cognitive biases and realize that where there's smoke there's fire in these crypto projects. Dismissing anything negative as FUD is almost childish.
