For a start, add info quoted below to thread starting post. People around are clueless on the matter and trollboxes did not helped much so I had to Google it.

What's the staking time for XBC?

Originally was 30 days...but I believe it's been reduced significantly. The min age is now 24 hours.

[10:47] So, min stake age 1 day. max 40.. So for coins you hold for 50 days. if you open the wallet. Will it sync and stake for those 50 days and then stop staking on those older coins?
[10:47] transactions not coins
[10:47] it will calculate the "interest" for every transaction that is mature enough
[10:48] but the maximum interest you can get, is 40 days
[10:48] so, as soon as a transaction is 41+ days old, the interest (reward) will be the same
[10:48] the reason is to give incentive for people to keep their wallets regularly open

And then eventually:

1. Switch XBC database from Berkeley to LevelDB (all major coins switched long time ago, results in much faster loading and shutdown, less chance for data corruption).
2. Fix XBC ignoring bitcoinplus.conf file (normaly located in same directory as wallet.dat file, I had to use command line -conf=bitcoinplus.conf to make it work).
3. Fix main window size not being saved between sessions.
4. Fix debug info window not opening in center of main window (closing and reopening make it move further to the right and down).
5. Provide wallet download over Torrent (download over Google or MEGA is bad idea not only because those two companies are major dataminers but also it allows owner
of account to mess with file at any moment).

thank you for the recommendations substrata
i agree, we need to update OP regarding the coin specs, XBC is after all now pure PoS

PoS interest 10% per year
min age: 1 day
max age: 40 days
Confirmations: 4
Block Maturity: 50

website does not show max age, confirmations and block maturity too
https://xbcplus.com/content/technical-specifications.htm

about the wallet, i believe the location of conf should be in ..\AppData\Roaming\xbcplus
maybe the conf should also be xbcplus.conf?

location was changed from  ..\AppData\Roaming\bitcoinplus so as not to conflict with old wallet/network

maybe also add Checksums and PGP for download wallet for added security

PPS. If you have something you want to be implemented on XBC, now would be the perfect time to reach out with your ideas to either #xbc channel, or directly to me through PM, as I'm currently gathering all sorts of ideas to see what the community would like to see / is excited about.

My advice is to open a new thread and constantly have a recent summery of all news in the op.

Will help a lot, dont let people read back through the whole thread

It's a great idea to have a summary section for latest news updated the OP post!

I know how painful it is to follow many coins for example and try to catch news while having to browse pages after pages of non-update posts.


We've talked about starting a new thread once we get the whole new vision / direction in order.

A "relaunch" not really to propose to new buyers, but precisely to ease the communication through BCT and also to display that past is past so that people can focus on the new situation at hand and judge it fresh based on the current facts instead of carrying on with past mistakes etc. which sources are really no longer present.



These are the kind of ideas that will help us develop into a dynamic project with proper effectiveness etc.

I'm jotting down ideas and this one just got written down so it will be remembered, thank you!


PS: Keep voting folks if you want XBC on MP next week... REDD is catching up!
It's possible, but we need more votes per hour to keep the gap.

Instead of a new thread, or in addition to a new thread, maybe a page of updates on the new site. Then it would be easy to direct anyone to that link.

Also as for suggestions, it would be nice if we had a betting site that was more like blackcoin's instead of xbc's current one. I'm honestly not a fan of the one that was set up for xbc, but I've used blackcoin's a lot during the world cup and love it's simplicity and transparency. While I understand the world cup is just about over, we could have one up and running for the upcoming NFL season or other sports. Just an idea...

We were hovering around 0.009 for a while with no wallet.
There has been a working wallet all this time.

people throwing around terms like the coin will get anon...
Only one person here has falsely hyped about anon.

Do these kinds of rumors spread in Trollbox?

Please, stop believing everything that is said trollbox.
That goes for FUD as well as baseless hype.


I have explained the current status very well and been completely honest about it.
There is no reason to "hype" the coin yet, as the team is still going through envisioning the future organization + plans

Even as a member, as I have already written here, I don't encourage people to buy simply because we have not yet formulated new goals, the new organization structure/style and so on... I would be dishonest to do so.
Although we are currently in the middle of that very process of finding out where do we want to go from this point.

Then when that process is done, you will all have a fair chance to re-assess your personal interpretation about the situation once we actually release new plans etc.

Before that obviously, you can invest in it if it suits your risk tolerance / analysis, but that is as investing always is, on your own gut feelings.



richardn1987, if you want updates, read back to this thread for last couple Coinerz updates + mine to be informed in depth with the actual status.

When the price is peaking, trollbox spreads all kinds of hyping lies... When the prices are bottoming, people spread FUD.
Something what any rational trader would develop some sort of mental filtering against as it's true to every market anywhere.

Don't let people lie to you.
It is always a better practice to ask than just shoot out things you heard somewhere in the trenches.


PS. If you want to see XBC on Mintpal next week... Better keep voting like nuts as REDD guys vote relentlessly!

Play honest & fair!
It's better in the long run.

I'll assume people understood the point I was making.

And the polo trollbox is like a hype/fud machine. They might as well just stick a big Pinocchio image right over the chat box. It can be amusing sometimes to see what people say, but if everyone just assumes that every statement in the trollbox is a lie, they'd probably be better off.

Haha! True that.

Actually, I've never really engaged into trollbox that much because I just can't stand to watch people lying so much and so blatantly, not a very good environment to plug your mind into... At least for longer periods of time.

Environment affects your thinking, even if you didn't consciously agree.
So... better ward off if one wants to self-protect.
People influence each other more than most realize.

Can some1 give an update about the current situation?

Sure, price tanked when devs vanished for weeks on end, remaining dev recommends that people sell their coins,  lead dev MIA, no access to xbc domain, no funds to pay coder... woe to all.

A couple of devs return, access to domain now available, somehow, people throwing around terms like the coin will get anon... price rises.

Read into that as you will.

I think XBC will have ANON soon Smiley

Let's keep to the facts and commit to not spreading either FUD nor hype to keep people properly informed and to avoid confusion and long term trust issues if some hype is unmatched with accumulated reality.

I appreciate the excitement though!

If you want to help XBC with your enthusiasm, you could as well jot down some ideas for the future... What would you like to see?

And of course... to vote religiously this week to keep the lead at Mintpal!

Win at MP is not guaranteed, keep on voting guys Smiley

True, sort of. I believe Coinerz is on the level and is doing what he can to save the coin.

Just a quick update on the site - I've been beavering away all day and it's 95% complete on my servers. I've just got to add the final 'Where Can I Get XBC' section which I'll do first thing tomorrow due to the onset of brain fry. However, here are a few screenshots to whet your appetite:









A few people have already seen the working site including Cryptoyoda, Mindfox and TFHoneybadger from Poloniex as they've changed their local HOSTS files.

Let's see what Coinerz can come up with. In my opinion, the biggest current problem isn't the devs running away, nor negativity regarding DCM, but the lack of funding. Mindfox will want to get paid somehow, I expect.

I was speaking with Cryptoyoda this evening on Skype and we've agreed that the main priority is to try to raise some funding for Mindfox. From what I understand, a small amount has been pledged already, bu, as is always the case with this kind of thing - the more the better.

Regarding the DCM thing - there are no DCM devs left and the current XBC devs have never had anything to do with the DCM project. Therefore, I would like to respectfully ask the DCM people if it would be possible for them to maybe start their own thread so that we can move forward from here.

I hope you are all ready to board the XBCPlus Bus!
