As far as coinerz calling me out, If I'm the one that "doesn't understand crypto development" then maybe he can tell me why he jumped ship and quit.
I first mentioned that I would not be carrying on with XBC on July 6th
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7707423and again on July 10th
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7773113I had also spoken with Crypto Yoda and Azor at length about how I would be stepping aside as soon as XBC hit Mintpal. Ground Beef Taxi, you would have known this. In fact, Azor posted a message on August 8th (
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.8243676) which states:
... and when they realized that they cannot fulfill them, most of them left the coin and there were just Coinerz and jia to help with the transition...
Again this shows that you guys already knew that I had stepped out of XBC. To claim that I 'jumped ship and quit' is rather disingenuous. I provided several hundred pounds worth of development FOR FREE in order to ensure that XBC could be transitioned to a new team. I didn't see anyone else from the previous team staying on to make sure that XBC was in a good state to continue. They genuinely did jump ship.
I've tried to contact Coinerz a many times with NO response(not to mention I still have all of the skype messages I sent him).
I'll come to the Skype messages in a moment. Your above statement says that you tried to contact me 'many times' with no response AS WELL as contacting me on SKYPE. If you could also post the other times you've tried to contact me - eg email, Facebook, PMs on here, I would be very grateful as I have no such record.
Skype messages are below that were UNANSWERED.
[8/4/2014 11:49:55 AM] GrounBEEF Taxi: Hey Coinerz its GrounBEEF, XBC is alive and well. I hope to GOD you're still with us and I'm going to be organizing a group chat on here very soon. I've been talking with Mindfox on a daily and we've got something brewing.
[8/4/2014 11:50:05 AM] GrounBEEF Taxi: I'll keep you posted.
[8/4/2014 12:18:42 PM] GrounBEEF Taxi: Ok Coinerz, so I've talked with Mindfox about making a mobile wallet which he is down with
[8/4/2014 12:18:58 PM] GrounBEEF Taxi: We have to probably organize a crowdfunding platform for him so he's rightfully paid this time.
[8/4/2014 12:22:11 PM] GrounBEEF Taxi: however, Azor just mentioned to me that you decided not to be a part of XBC anymore? I hope that is not true. If you wish me to stop sending you messages than please let me know.
[8/4/2014 12:23:05 PM] GrounBEEF Taxi: However, a mobile wallet and a simultaneous design upgrade for XBC has been ok'd by Mindfox. However he must be compensated this time so we have to organize a crowdfunding on the forum for him.
I admit that these messages - all sent within a 35 minute period appear in my logs. They were not answered for two reasons. Firstly, as had been discussed at length with Crypto Yoda and Azor, I had already stepped out of XBC. As I mentioned above, you would have known this. Secondly, from the 1st to the 8th of August, I was actually on holiday. Did you not think about sending me an email here?
[8/14/2014 2:53:57 PM] GrounBEEF Taxi: Coinerz. We need the site up my man, how much is it per year?
There is no record of this message in my logs. However rather than doubting what you are saying, I would like to ask the following:
Firstly, I supplied the entire website in a zip, along with instructions on how to get it up and running on a new host AND I gave you fourteen days notice that the site would be going offline on around 8th August. If you had really sent this message, surely you would have asked this question during the fourteen day notice period and not waited until SIX DAYS after the site went offline to send me this message.
Surely it doesn't take much to type 'website hosting' into Google, either?
XBC is here to stay and it won't leave the Poloniex exchange.
If it does stay on Poloniex, this will be 100% down to the relationship between Mindfox and Poloniex, not because of the performance of XBC or the current team.
It will grow and to be honest.
I genuinely hope that despite the constant fud surrounding XBC that your words are true. However as I said before, it's game over unless there are huge changes.
NOBODY knows what crypto will come out on top.......in fact Bitcoin is looking downward so all is pretty much in the air as we speak.
Bitcoin will come out on top. There is no question about it. All other alt coins are measured in Satoshis - denominations of Bitcoin - and the market capitalisation of Bitcoin makes up approximately 90% of the entire crypto market. If you factor in that yesterday Bitcoin integration was announced for Paypal (
http://www.coindesk.com/braintree-ceo-paypal-moving-toward-bitcoin-acceptance/) then you'll appreciate that it's a no-brainer. The battle has already been won.
I've said it once and I'll say it again. I am NOT ever leaving XBC. Period.
Good luck - I genuinely mean that!
