Wallets are up, please go to

https://github.com/ObscureIM/ObscureGo/releases
Word of warning, it wont connect so you have to wait for a few hours
Will be up in a few hours

A few hours to launch, right? Are wallets available for download now?

There are funds provided by a grant. But it wont be enough so i need to do a presale

What do you mean by the current pre-sale rate?

What's the current rate during the pre-sale?

Announcing that the is project unfunded is a big risk and some people will not take this seriously but thumbs up for your honesty.

Cant do anything without a presale unfortunately. This project is unfunded. Anyway if there is coins are not sold it will be given back to the community

Title says "MINING/FAUCET ONLY NO ICO"

Go to the discord and then realize they are doing a presale of 700k for 10 BTC. 70k for 1 BTC. 70k being the future masternode collateral.

Whitepaper says "There will be a small presale to raise 10 BTC for exchange fees and to fund external PR firms. Following that, there will be no ICO."

It's a NO ICO, well except for the ICO, masternode Pre-Sale coin.

That's a big ole red flag in my book. Staying away from this one.

Nope, we shifted it to the 15 March. We are done with out test and dont feel that there is a need to delay it any further. Also whitepaper will be out tomorrow

The launch will officially be in the first week of April, right? I hope there are no more changes.

We're still on PoW until the end of next year. Otherwise our PoS will have masternodes. Numbers to be released in the future

How does the pos work?

It should work, and it has worked. maybe u can tell me what OS ur computer is on. Or just hop on discord. Otherwise u will have to use the CLI

the trogangenerator is because of the OBscured and obscure-service which used p2p and port 12000. Port 12000 is known to flag antivirus systems.  Our repo is open so you can check if you want

to be honest, im not a pool node operator. So actually the official node keeps hanging i think its because im using a cheap vps. I will fix it every night, so dont worry. Anyawy this is just the testnet so your coins wont stay anyway

the official pool stayed in the obscure? 

Mee too...go wallet always with blank screen. Electrum doesn't work.

Avast showing Trojan Generator. Is this wallet harmful?

No instructions how to load wallet.
What ?.exe to click

Tried clicking the ???go.exe

Only get a blank gray window...
who knows what is going on in the background

i started to mine. pending is so long. it is more than 6 hours. what is the number of coins to pay out?

I do have 0.35 of the wallet. I have had this a couple of times before when trying to log in to the wallet. tried different node and the one i was originally trying to connect to went from 0 fee to having a question mark. Don't know if its a glitch in the wallet or servers but i have found one i can connect to now.

We've moved to testnet2 and please download version0.35 of the wallet.

Anyway i'm looking for all graphics designers!! Pm me on discord @PausCrypto

started trying to mine again but currently getting error message when trying to open wallet of

"error communicating with turtle service via rpc"

We will be releasing a one pager soon and hopefully we can spread it to other platforms

We're trying to experiment and decide on the tokenomics of the projects example : block rewards, block time and the scalibility of 15 seconds block time. In addition we want to make sure that the premine strikes a good balance between being enough for the development team, and not too much that the community will be unhappy with.

In addition, we are writing our new whitepaper which includes a a game-changing protocol will which make us the first cryptonote coin to do so, and it's important for us to use this 1 month to ensure that the Obscure blockchain can scale.

Not to mention its scheduled on April 1, April fools day

But on the side note, they have ambitious project and this type of community project really take's time to materialized.

Give them time, its just 26 more day's waiting time afterall.

Why did you postpone until April? It's many days and it usually does not end well.

Pool are workign 100 % , do get back on it to mine

Annoucement :

All nodes and pools will be down for approxiamtely 3 hours as we undergo an upgrade to our seed nodes

Thanks for your support, stay tuned for the whitepaper

Yes, Google recaptcha was easy thing to solve, i was averaging of 30 claim per minute and i was getting addicted to it with almost instant confirmation time.

The txspeeds will make this coin stand out. I am waiting for the Mainnet launch and rejoin the clicking team once again

Testnet has been nothing sort of a revelation though I feel for the "zombie" clicking syndrome without checking to see what "net" the blockchain was on - was so impressed by the tx speed, I probably sunk 3 straight hours into it before realizing  .
Testnet or not, gonna join the mining pool too

The first pool is run by the obscure team, but im glad u found out what went wrong

You will not get anything because the mainnet launch is postpone until april 1st this year. so ask your pool what are they mining using your hash power.

Thank. Solved. The fault is from me.

So these questions should be asked to the pool support service and not to the project itself. And most importantly, if the problem is not solved then write on the forum to warn others.

I can't get payment from the pool right now

Yes you are right, since block rewards will be reduced to 3XSC from 30 XSC , so it is only fair for us to reduce the faucet rewards otherwise the miners will not be too happy

Otherwise u can just solve a recpatcha and get as many XSC as you want

I was claiming on their faucet from day 1 and claiming like a zombie only to know that it was just a test net 

April 1, they will probably relaunch the Faucet on the mainnet but the rewards will be lowered from 1 to 0.30 per claim. But you can claim as many as you want NO time restriction.

Complete 1 captcha - Claim - Complete Captch again - claim again

yeah you wont. The official mining pool will only start on 1 April and will be reset at 00:00. However if you mine in the testnet, you will receive a small bonus when the mainnet goes live from the appreciation bounty pool

Does that mean if I do mine on the official pool i will not receive any coins? I have the latest wallet and was mining earlier but still no coins showing in my wallet.

What do you mean faucet mining? The faucet is seperate from mining. Do clarify what you mean and i'll be more than happy to help

Hi thanks for your support. Definately not a virus dont worry about it

so faucet mining is not yet on?

coinminer it's not a virus.

Coincidentally, the date falls on April Fools Day!
But better delay a lil bit than promising things you can't fulfil yet.
But upon checking your file for Mac -

Might be all false positives. But can someone verify that it is totally safe and secure.

Looking for discord mods and reddit mods.

I have been too busy writing tests for the mainnet launch

Reserved for Hashing Center Pool

Hashing Center - your mining center

Our block explorer is experiencing some issues at the moment.

On other news, we have a big annoucement lined up

thank you for your support we're looking for bounty hunters too

I think, this is the right decision. it was not necessary now to start this activity, because the cryptomarket is in a rather unstable situation. I think, that after, a while this can be achieved and the situation will improve much. maybe, it will happen in April this year. we will very much hope, that everything will be on their successful places.

ANNOUCEMENT

After much discussion with my team i have decided to delay our mainnet launch to 1 month from now 1 April 2019

We are still in the discussion to offer a fair coin economy for miners & faucet claims to ensure that there is balance between miners and non miners. With the launch delayed to 1 April 2019, we understand that this is a long time to support the network.

We need the extra time to properly promote this project and to obtain strong leads. In addition, due to this project receiving startup grants from the Singapore Government i would like to ensure that the launch is smooth and perfect on 1 April 2019.

When Obscure is launched on 1 April 2019 , you can expect the following :

Fully Complete Whitepaper
Guides to run your own full nodes & mining nodes
Android Wallet
Proof of Concept for exciting dApp project

For those who are supporting the mainnet , there will be rewards issued to miners and full node operators as well

Hi its cryptonite_lite_v7

Interesting, will definately drop you a message

Intresting coins. Probably will mine some for future use.

hello welcome free listing exchange https://bitstorage.finance/listing.php   

soon listing coingecko and cmc

Hello. Which one from this? (xmrig cpu)

It is necessary to have the google recaptcha. Otherwise everyone will just spam and the faucet will be empty in 1 day hope you understand

For those who are just coming to this thread out faucet is

https://faucet.obscure.im

I hope so too We have many projects coming our way - and our whitepaper will be published soon

Coin looks good and i will mine it when its available, however faucet is not good. To get coin we have to waste our time by filling google recaptcha and do free labor for google (google is training their AI with free labor which is us captcha solvers).

The project sounds good to me. Hopefully the ICO and its bounty program will be successful thus, after.listed on an exchange it can have a lot of demands for the project to be fully successful and function. Well, let's wait and see.

UPDATE:

Released our own easy-pool for you to set up your own mining pool

Check our repo below

https://github.com/ObscureIM/easy-pool

Hi thanks for your question. This is because our block reward will be reduced to 7XSC from 30 XSC. I feel that giving away 1XSC will make mining unattractive since irs easier to just get it from the faucet and click it 7 times

I have seen that you will reduce to 0.3 XSC the faucet. Why such decisions? Are they predicting a massive demand and so if it continued 1 XSC would the faucet drain quickly?

Thats great, hop on to our bounty chat !! Theres alot of things we are trying to fix

looks interesting, I try to join in and see how this projects has have future

legit project, I am gratified to be part of this project! waiting the mainnet! good work dev!

thank you for your support, make sure to hop on our discord page. We decided to change make gamebreaking changes so be sure to take note about it

New cryptonote coin, I'll try to mine some Obscure after the mainnet launches.

Actually it is just you... have u tried the electrum wallet??

Please use the v0.34 for windows. Currently compiling the v0.35 for windows , it will take some time

When I launch wallet ( go wallet ) on windows wallet form stays empty...nothing appears?? Anyone with this issue?

v0.35-mac
When will the version of Windows?
Will be available until March 1?
Error
https://d.radikal.ru/d05/1902/86/44658b40c9c6.jpg

No problem, feel free to ask questions.

The mainnet will launch and miners will be free to mine at GMT +0 00:00 hours on 1st March.

Hello thank you for your interest.

On 1st March , all your XSC will be disappear. BUT! You will still be able to use the faucet with winodws 0.35

Interesting, will 1 XSC be every 24 hours? The coins are now testnet, right? Will wallet windows 0.35 be available + XSC original from March 1st? This reminds me a little of XRB (RaiBlocks) or NANO for the current ones. I'm referring to the claim system, of course.

RESERVED for Russian translation
My portfolio

Glad it worked for you, but please note the chain will be reset on the 1st of march u can get the faucet as usual then

No , i will reveal my identity once we get listed on a major exchange since it's a requirement

I will dedicate 10minutes of my daily life in claiming the faucet

Done for today and accumulated 50 XSC.

Wallet is perfectly working and everything is in order.

Looking forward on more developmental roadmap on the project.

An interesting project will take part. To encourage a roadmap to see plans for the future development of the project. Will the team remain anonymous?

UPDATE :

0.34 of the ObscureGO wallet has been released Download it here

https://github.com/obscureIM/obscureGo/releases

Also, please avoid using the electrum wallet unless you HAVE to. I'm no longer supporting it as i forked it from turtlecoin

Anyway anyone who is skilled in web-dev and would like to contribute to the project , please drop me a message on telegram or discord @pauscrypto , will pay some bounties

hey hope this helps :

https://obscure.im/getting-started

It's pretty sparse since this is a small project and I dont have any web developers, but hope it helps

Give a link to support page please.

Overview

Obscure(XSC) is a cryptonote currency with compulsory mixin values. XSC was officially launched on 15 March 2019 with it's mainnet release. XSC's vision is to be at the fore front of privacy which is easy to use. We are currently developing several projects that we believe will allow mainstream adoption to occur, without the need to compromise the user's privacy.

We have also identified the problem with using Cryptonote mixin values - even with mixins, one of the input and outputs will always point to the sender and user. It is possible with a a large enough dataset, blockchain analytics can be employed to determine the sender and receiver of coins.

Coin Specifications

After much consideration and criticism from the community, we will be increasing the block reward to 3.5XSC and reducing the presale from 10BTC to 2.5BTC. Thank you everyone

Block Times: 15 Seconds
Block Reward: 3.5 XSC Per Block and will reduce over time
Total supply: 65,000,000
Premine: ~7.5% ( 4,900,000 XSC)
Presale: 2.5 BTC , 1.07% of premine, for a total of 700,000 XSC (for exchange listings and payout BTC bounties, funded by the premine)


Total premine split:
1.07% - Presale
5.3% - Dev fees
0.53% - Community Bounties
0.53% - Faucet

The percentages between dev fees and community bounties are not fixed and can change over time.
Any coins not sold from the premine will be split equally between the community bounty and faucet

Presale

XSC will be available for presale at a rate 1BTC = 70,000 XSC until the 15th of march.
You can purchase less than 1BTC.


Faucet
To ensure a fair coin distribution, a faucet will be made avaialble, with up to 350,000 XSC up for claim. This is to make sure that XSC is not decentralized among early miners. The faucet will be filled up with denominations of 10,000XSC and will be refilled when empty. Each wallet can redeem XSC for an unlimited number of times. Have fun!

ZeroCT

ZeroCT is a new protocol based on the Zero Protocol. However unlike the zero-protocol, ZeroCT is capable of sending unfixed denominations of zObscure such as 1239214 XSC. WIth the original Zero Protocol, you can only send in specific denominations. Our implementation of ZerCT will use masternodes to calculate validation proof from the blind factors. This reduces the load off the full nodes which process normal transactions. Our goal in the future is to fully eliminate full nodes and implement a masternode system.

Obscure.sol

Currently it is impossible for a developer to create dApps using his preferred cryptonote coins. A developer might want to create using Cryptonote instead of Ethereum because he wants to application to be private and transactions untraceable. Enter Obscure.sol. Obscure.sol is a modified web3.js module that is served by masternodes. There masternodes will be able to link the Ethereum blockchain, XSC blockchain or another cryptonote blockchain.

A developer can make web3.js calls to the Ethereum virtual machine as long as he pays XSC as gas. These masternodes will covert the XSC on the fly to ETH, and keep some of the XSC as fees.

xPay

Singapore has a GDP per capita exceeding that of USA, Germany and France. Despite being an affluent nation, there is still no standard king for mabile payments. The market is fragmented with players who are unable to capture the market. We propose xPay, and we are confident that xPay will be able to scale in the Singapore Mobile Payment market.

xPay is a cryptocurrency wallet first and foremost but built with powerful 'mainstream features' which are regulated:

1) No KYC needed to transfer money between account
2) Creditcard top ups will be available for all KYC-ed accounts
3) Transfer via NFC like ApplePay and SamsungPay
4) Merchants and Non-merchant accounts have no difference, making it easy for anyone to start selling
5) Easy integration into different POS systems

Obscure.IM decentralized market

There is a need for the transfer for high value asset such as gold, property and artwork. We aim to provide a marketplace where these can be sold without the need for expensive middlemen. The Obscure.IM marketplace will be providing these assets for sale:

1) Gold
2) Property
3) Cryptocurrency
4) Art
5) Food

Wallets

Please use wallets v0.36 and up ONLY for mainnet. Older versions will not work:

https://github.com/ObscureIM/ObscureGo/releases

Current testnet is at v0.35

Mining pool

We have two mining pools, an official and unofficial mining pool. Generally, using xmr-stak is good to quickly get up to speed on mining
