Hello Everyone! I am trying to get back into the swing of things after my travels and not being well. Updates will come but the website is first priority for me while the Dev Team is getting better organized for the (growing and coming) list of tasks. So, yes I am doing as much as possible each day to get the website finished, but like so many other days, things come up that end up taking a few hours to sort out, such as the following which is why I am making this post:
Earlier today there was a small misunderstanding that lead to some peoples feelings being hurt on the Slack and I would like to take a moment to apologize.
To start, the topic of conversation was from a couple members wanting to point out that there was an ICO with XtraBYtes, which was initially brought up as a side topic from the 100 XBY fee (which we have addressed more than once and will eventually be reduced but for now it is to help development costs).
To set the record straight: the ICO for XBY occurred in January of 2017 and this is where our story begins. If you do not already know our story, please take a few days to learn because the reading you will do as a potential investor or a current investor will help you make correct decisions that can potentially change your financial life forever. This is a very serious project with clear intentions to change the crytpocurrency world with a new technology, method of usage and consensus mechanism.
To clarify: the ICO for XBY was done under the name Bitmox. That project
failed and would have been
removed from the C-CEX exchange because there was almost ZERO volume leading up to the point that I connected with Borzalom who had already started the process of trying to resurrect the doomed coin.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.17880844Had Borzalom not contacted C-CEX and asked them to
put the coin in maintenance mode, share the code with him and give him a chance to try to repair the problems, we would not be here today even having this discussion.
Therefore, that ICO has absolutely nothing to do with XtraBYtes, which is the project that OFFICIALLY started on April 7, 2017.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.18500780Unfortunately, due to lack of sleep, a massive workload, travel and being sick for the last week, I was a bit overly protective when people starting insisting there was an ICO and so I would like to offer my apologies to a few people:
First, our XtraBYtes Community Board who work tirelessly to take up the slack on Slack, along with several other members who continue to do a great job of keeping people focusing on the future, rather than allowing the continual FUD to take its toll on the XtraBYtes Community. Please know guys that we could never have achieved this level of success without you and you are appreciated far more than you can know.
Secondly, to @commodore64 and @cryptoica thank you for your questions and concerns, I hope they have now been answered to your satisfaction. I am sorry for coming across too aggressively in my attempt to help you understand the truth of the ICO that occurred before XtraBYtes was pulled from the fire.
Thank you and have a nice day!
