Been following this coin for a while now and have some ideas as to how we/you can move things on. I feel that the mood in this forum is a bit touchy at mo so pls dont shoot me down for suggesting things that either just aint going to work or are completely pointless. Its obvious that no one want xbc to die as it has been through a lot over the past year or so and still here - yet its a shame there is sod all trading and very little chatter here other than pleas from devs and a couple of donations. My ideas to present to you are:
Website - Lets get this updated fast!! Wouldnt say it needs complete overhaul but there are some fundamental things that need sorted. About page is referring to coin swap like it has not happened yet. Stake & Funds Distribution along with sustainability should ideally be on the resources page. Same with list of donations. How long is it going to take for Basic Wallet Use Instructions - if its needed? Roadmap should have its own page on website rather than link to a doc?
Wallet - I see last post asking for linux version. Can this happen soon? What would be cost? How long would it take? Who could do it? Again the website refers to it as being available. Mobile wallet coming soon in near future - how soon? When was that post put up? If its going to take a long time or simply not feasible as minute - fine. Personally I like current wallet - easy to use and staking great. Perhaps for next upgrade you could consider building in a staking calculator, links to web/twitter/facebook/forum etc. Also how about incorporating a live trading price update in the wallet?
Im not trying to dis the coin or devs but i luv xbc and want to see it be up with the best. You seem a good team who are standing by this coin and I applaud you for that. You show integrity which is priority with alt coins today.
Over to you - mclovan
Thanks mclovan and I will put those points about the website to the rest of the team members but the issue of links and script were discussed and it seems that due to security and backdoors all links to the site and live feeds to twitter etc were dropped as security for members messages and transactions were the main focus along with privacy.Those were the two primary goals for the upgrade and we know this has been achieved.
We were also looking at a conference ability along with encrypted face time chat etc but again all these things started to complicate the original ideas and add cost even if they were possible to implement.We even had the ability to send timed messages that would delete themselves on the receipients wallet but that was scrapped due to security issues even though it would have been a nice feature and help jazz up the wallet but we still sacrificed style for substance and even didnt add fancy colours or other simple things to help get people interested but stuck with the goal of function.MESSAGING is the most practical and useful tool in a wallet and one that is nescessary come the day people require their wallet to buy and sell things or make a donation not to mention the fact that it has anonymous sending capability that outperforms the best out there with additional hardware/software on the network.
To be honest the most important thing we need is a community to get involved in the decision making process and technical abilities among them so we dont have to keep spending money we dont have to develop these ideas.
Someone or a few out there have ensured that any time the coin attempts to recover in price there is a sufficient push between them to push the price down.TBH the only way we can do this is either with a large trading volume and price recovery to raise funds OR a few developers to come on board because they want things to happen.XBC community have a good amount of coins in the staking wallet for incentives and this is probably the best time for developers to join and stake their claim.
