M A I D

Nuff said.

You look familiar!  lol.

Gotta cast my vote for the above:  iXCoin.  Late 2014 - Early 2015 it should make its grand entrance and proceed to take the world by storm.

  good introduction
[/quote]Buy some hold em for 12 months and thank me latter

Dark has no anon features which actually work, it's all just a gimmick.  Lol.

Cryptonote is the only one right now that MAY have some real anon potential.  But reality doesn't matter in crypto world, just hype.  Haha!

You're missing the biggest thing:  Security.

But tell me which copy and paste [cool-hot] feature you'd like and iXCoin will have it.  Like the Counterparty we're adding now.

All the other alts, however , can't copy iXcoin's 80 PETA hash of security.  That's a bit of a challenge even for doge, LTC and NXT and in the end, for mass payments and adoption poor security means FAILURE.

I think nxt,litecoin and dark is goods options

That coin doesn't offer anything at all, or am I missing something?

2015?  Or for 2015?

This is a no brainer for me:  iXCoin.

Do a little research into CEX.io and take a closer look at iXcoin.  At today's $.03 I think by 2015, one can make 100-1,000 fold.

Few alts can offer that with the exception of getting lucky in the next big pump which, if you're not an insider, probably won't happen.

Cheers!

I used to check this forum everyday until i found XC, now i just hold with confidence knowing my investment will be prosperous, it's a nice felling.

YES EARLY ADOPTER OF THIS COIN 2


Wow this looks like a real 2.0 competitor... Dan the man! (yes, a dev that gives his ID.. wooot)

You can FUD all you want, but I am sure that people see right trough your agenda and an reserch on their own.

NXT is one of the most innovative coins there is. If you look at the current release, you can see features that are 100% unique in crypto world.

A NxT shill couldn't think of anything positive to write so he resorts immediately to an Ad hominem (a logical fallacy).  

NxT is a dead coin and anyone who bought in back in early 2014 has been a bagholder for 7 to 8 months now.  It's almost a circus now that the same NxT shills continuously bring up that scam coin when there are better alternatives to it (not just NEM but at least a half dozen coins have more viable futures than NxT.  Are you going to shill-troll about NODE, Bitshares, Ethereum and Stellar?).  Makes me wonder if the 3-4 shills who continuously spam about NxT everywhere must be NxT whales as they're the only ones who would have incentive to continuously spam about NxT.


It's a scam when NxT people go onto these threads, taking advantage of people's ignorance, by telling them to put money into NxT when NxT has only gone down since its' peak of $90 - $110 million back in early 2014.  

NxT is "cheap" at $37 million?  Written just like a bagholder.  If NxT is a "good buy" then so is Maza Coin and Aurora, THEY COULD GO BACK UP AT ANY MOMENT PEOPLE!  BUY MAZA NOW!  *sarcasm*

So you rather buy a coin that is currently at its peak?

One reason to buy NXT now is to profit from the way to low price.

Also everyone knows you are just FUDing everycoin exept NEM.

There several coins with bigger communities than NxT (with less 'tards and trolls).  

As well most of the NxT developers don't have any proprietary loyalty to NxT.  WesleyH is a NxT developer is a stakeholder in multiple different coins and his wallet designs have found their way into numerous coins.   A lot of the NxT developers, if the NxT boat were to sink, would simply move onto other Java based coins and bring their content with them.

In a nutshell there's nothing proprietary and therefore nothing to invest into NxT, beyond its' first mover advantage and a sinking capitalization.  NxT's asset exchange and digital good store is probably being copied as we speak by many other coins.  No patents no proprietary no money.

Why would anyone buy NxT when they can load up a 365 day graph on coinmarketcap and see that NxT hasn't recovered to when it was $90-$110 million back in early 2014?  

The NxT whales are working overtime and need to convince suckers on the internet to buy into their get quick rich scheme (8 wallets took $50 million NxT at 1.5 BTC, no taint analysis to stop socks so you just made BCnext very wealthy).  

Meanwhile there are numerous alternatives to NxT now which are capitalizing on the 2.0 trend, so NxT's first mover advantage by releasing in 2013 is effectively over when we consider alternatives like Ethereum, Bitshares, Node, et cetera.

Let's learn about XC and why it blows it's competitors including BTC out of the water hands down...( this was mostly copied from the XC website because it explains it best)

Total coins:
5.5 Million
Premine: 125k
Block Times: 90 Seconds
POS interest: 3.33% per year

Max Stake time: 30 Days

TECHNOLOGY

The XC network is made up of two parts: (1) the standard XC network, made up of computers running the XC App, and (2) the anonymous XC network, which is run by XC Nodes.  All apps that are open and connected to the network while holding coins are a part of the standard XC network.  This network is very similar to what other cryptocurrencies currently use.

 The XC anonymous network, on the other hand, is something entirely different.  It can be accessed from any XC App, but if a user designates a transaction to be sent anonymously, it is processed by the XC Nodes which make up the anonymizing portion of the network.  Any XC App can be set up to run as an XC Node, as long as it meets certain criteria

no bloat

XC was designed from the ground up to be compatible with mobile devices. Currently, there are several projects that have an anonymizing strategy that results in an unworkable blockchain bloat problem, which will only be compounded if they are ever introduced to mobile platforms.  Technologies like ring signatures and zero-knowledge proofs fall into this category and currently lack a way of avoiding this major setback.  XCurrency is able to use standard transactions, but multi-path then achieves an extremely high level of privacy combined with a high degree of prunability.  This allows XC to avoid blockchain bloat, even with full mobile integration.

decentralized

Because every XC App can function as an XC Node, this allows XC to avoid what Bitcoin core developer Gregory Maxwell has recently called a security “chokepoint” in some other coins’ use of semi-centralized nodes to forward transactions.  Unlike most other anonymous strategies, XC avoids the need to hold a very large amount of coins in order for an XC Node to function.  This is made possible due to the small, random transaction sizes of XC’s multi-path architecture.  The smaller capital requirement to run an XC Node benefits the XC network by allowing more XC Nodes to exist, increasing the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the anonymous network.

network security

XC uses multi-sig and end-to-end message encryption. This solution improves upon the more common practice of simply forwarding transactions, which can be problematic because malicious actors can steal transactions instead of forwarding them.  Another issue resolved by the XC approach is XC Nodes cannot snoop on the broadcasting system and publish the identities of senders and receivers.  This further adds to XC's security.

not just for payments

From the onset, XC was designed to take advantage of Blockchain 2.0 architecture. This makes implementations such as secure messaging, secure chatting, and decentralized cloud storage possible. XC’s comprehensive approach to incorporating current and trending technologies provides a stable platform on which to implement exciting new ideas and features in the future. The XC community has already seen evidence of this forward planning in the efficiency with which changes can be made.

 XC was built for the future. While it successfully implements the imperative state of the art technologies that are expected of a cryptocurrency today, the foundation has been laid for even bigger things to come.

Near future (Coming months all of this will be implemented Most probably by the end of the year, Brace yourselves.)

XC Mobile

Currently in progress is the fully featured XC mobile wallet/app.  This app for smartphones will be made available for both iOS and Android operating systems.  Users will be able to earn interest on the go, made possible thanks to XC’s adaptive design.  XC is also working on the technology to allow the purchase of XCurrency directly through the mobile app – this will add ease-of-use for those with less tech knowledge, and will make reloading with XCurrency easier than ever.

Decentralized Cloud Storage

The incorporation of Blockchain 2.0 architecture into the XC framework allows for a broad range of future developments.  One area being looked into by the XC team is the use of the XC blockchain for decentralized cloud storage.  This storage could be utilized by individuals, businesses, or even political campaigns.  The ability to safely store and transfer important documents, without fear of disclosure to third parties, is something that a diverse group of people could benefit from.  XC is taking steps to make this feature a reality.

Payment Networks

As the XCurrency base is further developed, adding XCurrency to an existing payment network, such as the Visa network, will be a number one priority.  Imagine XC being as easy to use as a credit card, but without the need for the actual card, since XC will be fully functional on any mobile device.  This integration into any one of the larger payment networks will allow XC to be utilized at millions of point of sale locations across the globe.  It will also open the door for utilization with ATM’s, otherwise known as cash machines in some countries.  Combined with the ability to reload your mobile app with XCurrency at the click of a button, this will be the premier step toward bringing XC before the masses as a usable, functional, flexible, and robust currency alternative.

NFC Payments

A project that’s been in the works for years, near field communication (NFC) payment technology is starting to gain mass adoption and acceptance as a simpler, faster, and more secure way to make payments at point of sale locations.  With the development of XC’s mobile app, the timing for such an acceptance of NFC technology by the general population couldn’t have been better.  Some of the key benefits associated with utilization of NFC technology in conjunction with XC:

Blockchain 2.0 Apps

XCurrency is built on Blockchain 2.0, a flexible digital platform which allows easy integration for current and future XC applications.  A few examples of upcoming applications would include the use of the XC App for encrypted messaging and chat, and the use of the XC blockchain for decentralized cloud storage.  These are just the start; the potential to build upon the XC platform is limitless.  With the Blockchain 2.0 architecture already in place, the blockchain for XCurrency is like a foundation awaiting the actual building to be erected.  Stay tuned to see what the XCurrency team has planned, and as always, if you have a great idea that you would like to see implemented, by all means contact us and we’ll take a more detailed look.

Web 3.0 Development

Web 3.0 represents the evolution of the World Wide Web.  Poised to make the internet fully and provably secure against identity theft, fraud, and spying,  Web 3.0 is a fundamental change in the architecture of the Internet. XCurrency’s platform approach incorporates Web 3.0 concepts, like decentralization and appropriately secure protocols for various types of information. As XC’s Blockchain 2.0 applications grow in number, XC will increasingly become a fundamental building block of Web 3.0.

Proof of Blockchain

Proof of Blockchain (PoBC) is such new technology, that very few understand it.  Invented by Jasinlee, one of XC’s developers, PoBC will essentially allow blockchains to talk to each other.  At this point, PoBC is a revolutionary concept that, if successfully implemented, will become an incredibly powerful facet of the XCurrency project, further increasing privacy and reducing blockchain size.  PoBC is not going to be implemented in the immediate future due to the enormous amount of work required to code and implement it, (and there are more immediate goals, as outlined in the XC roadmap), but keep an eye out for announcements regarding PoBC, and the positive impacts that PoBC may have on XC’s future.

AND MORE TO BE ANNOUNCED!!

In the first hours of its release  , you could sell 5/7 K stellar at 0,25 btc but now this is not possible .

Care to explain why ?

All I see is a massive give away at present, what happens after that.

" Flash in the pan " springs to mind, don't get me wrong, I have made some good BTC from stellar but don't see it continuing much longer.
