XCurrency (XC) BlockNet community thread

[rdnkjdi]

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?

There really were some interesting things surrounding XC.  For instance - Arlyn / Synchist defending Jasinlee (I've beat the shit out of that horse - no desire to go back).  But putting his & the coins credibility on line to defend a known scammer was weird.

Then the Promethus thing - that one was fun.  

The premine things was weird.  Seeing how blatantly wrong it was after comparing it to the original promise - but never once a "we screwed up" just a "we only intended to say we would let you know via blockchain"

Then in the early beginnings the coin release output & cap change to give Dan & company much bigger % of total coins than anticipated.

Not to mention the entire closed source thing.  And I think the coin was originally named X11coin (even though darkcoin invented the X11 Algo?)  XC started (I think) as a sort of copycat to Darkcoin with some added features (chat?).  Same pattern as Blocknet / SuperNET.

Dan has shown up to quite a few conferences and put his real face out there - I think he's genuinely interested in crypto but not competent enough to go about it via open source.  And not financially in a position to be able to work on it without using it as a means to a personal end.

It has been interesting how the crypto news ignores blatant scams - or questions like "Hey you blocknet of the future guys.  Why are the graphics no longer working on your original project and your thread locked?  Why's the blocknet website down?".  All dedicated crypto news (after seeing how this was reported) is just an extension of the "pumper" side of this forum.

tl;dr;  XC has always been weird.  Alryn / Synchis has been a slippery character always playing to his fanbase.  Dan I think got stuck in financial trouble & is tied to some shady people.  Don't trust crypto news.

The people who ate up synchronist's 'deprecated thread because boo-hoo toxic community' BS deserve what they're getting.

Remember when the Darkcoin and XC camps made peace?

They both saw the other's fraud, and agreed to say nothing.  That makes both camps frauds.

Mutually assured destruction. The two of them continuing to educate the public about each others history would just result in more widespread knowledge about both of their practices. Neither of them had the higher ground morally, so I guess you're right. I never thought of it that way.

Price is getting cheap but is it a dead project?

[EvilDave]

I can't believe anyone still decides to involve themselves with anything Dan or synechist do.
**cut lots***
Dismissing anything negative as FUD is almost childish.

This......if you don't have enough belief in your own project that every note of criticism has to be silenced/removed, there's obviously something wrong.

Bahaha, scammers get what they deserve. Meanwhile legit coins slog on.

Yeah 

Funny to see that every coin that Shadow was accused of fudding is now dead ... 

Real innovation FTW !

[URSAY]

What are you doing here passively-aggressively insulting another project?

Don't you have some coding to be doing?

 

Asking for a clarification is treated as "insulting" in this thread? Interesting... and alarming.

Get used to it. Every single question asked is treated as unwanted in this thread. I can't remember how many legitimate posts were deleted, so the illusion that everything is good in the Blocknet world can be sustained. You are right about it - alarming as hell.

Please, ask any questions in this thread.  It is encouraged. 

[URSAY]

A very old reply of mine (50 pages back) was just deleted in the main BlockNet thread.  However, I was banned from their scam thread LONG AGO.  Deep cleaning this weekend guys?  Hiding evidence and opposition from fresh new users?

[URSAY]

I guess the "+1" replys were deleted

How odd!

Even more odd, deleting so many posts asking legit questions from potential users in the official thread.  But you wouldn't know anything about that...right synechist?

and has been audited by Dan for trustlessness.

Is a man with multiple tax liens capable of doing any kind of an audit on his own?

Nov. bump.

XC is in "stealth mode." It is not dead, and is not abandoned.

You can't go in reverse, from public launch back into "stealth mode."

That's just a lame excuse for lack of deliverable product.

XC is dead.  XC is abandoned.

XC is also obsolete compared to ETH (in terms of functionality) and XMR (in terms of privacy).

Well said iCEBREAKER.

[compmaster]

I went and bought $20 of this just in case it makes a comeback. It sounds like it's dead though. At least these can they go into my museum of worthless blockchain coins.

Lel, they deleted my post from the so-called "deprecated" thread.

They even lie about the thread being deprecated, while they maintain its 100% cheerleader requirement for posting there.

Moderated threads are jokes. I like community threads the best.

james mincraft(metcape?) is a scammer, he's all about benefiting himself of getting out of the bankruptcy and trouble with the laws.
i used to like and bought(trades) some XC by the way but found out this guy is messed up in the head and a crook.
oh, never mind, how is this project going?  
supernet and blocknet is the best solution but it is not possible from coding perspective, decentralized exchanged. it could be possible but the resources of running it is the bottleneck, so, making it impossible. 0.00000000000000000000001% would use it as it take up so much resources, not for mass adoption. bitcoin is just simple and easy.

Both the Blocknet's block explorers' hosting services have expired. Not cool!

[URSAY]

Blocknet scam confirmed.. Nice synechist you got 80 btc for some random posting on a forum nice job you managed to get you should be proud of yourself.  New blocknet scam confirmed thread incoming

I often see posts that I know will be deleted in the official thread so I will repost here.
