Topic: [XC][XCurrency] Decentralised Trustless Privacy Platform / Encrypted XChat / Pos - page 15. (Read 1484219 times)

Next thing you know Syn will have us communicating via AOL that phones gotta go.

I used slack on a Mac and had no issues,  I also received constant email notifications. The notifications let you know which topic the posts were made in, def was a timesaver for me.

On a serious note, you crack me up sometimes Arlyn. I'm still trying to figure out if there's an 80 year old stuck inside your body. You should start your own currency, philosophers stone or alchemy coin or folk rocks. Idk.
I think it would be interesting to sit down with you one day and have a long conversation over a nice Cuban cigar and a macallan 25.

I guess its down to personal preference. i absolutely hate the windows 8 app/tile section (sorry, can't remember the name) so can't imagine having it on my phone aswell.

I have read reviews saying that windows is catching up with android, it just seems that no one is programing for it. (especially in crypto.. is there any coin that has a windows wallet? )

but anyway, I edited my post just as you replied. check the edit. basically, cant you forward notifications to email or something?

Being browser-only means that people don't get notified of new messages unless you're looking at the browser. It means I miss whole conversations.

Windows phone: quite easily the best platform in terms of:
- tightness of backend/cloud integration
- aesthetics (in comparison Android is a garish cacophony of clashing colours and skeuomorphism)
- smart features (Cortana, data sense, wifi sense, apps corner, live tiles, settings sync, offline maps, etc. etc. etc.)

You need to ditch that windows phone for an Android, man.  

What are the drawbacks with it being browser only? I'd be using it on windows too. The forum and here are browser only...

edit: just seen you said it makes notifications problematic. how so? Is it because you would need your browser open to get notifications? if so could you not make notifications send an email to outlook or something similar?

It still sounds better than here or a normal forum to me.

Arlyn bin you win phone!!! 

Thanks for the suggestions about Slack.

We've checked it out because Pizpie is very keen on it, and it looks very promising.

Current drawbacks: minimal Windows PC support (i.e. browser only) which makes notifications problematic, and zero Windows Phone support. Argh.

i posted our replies over there too. hope the team go for it.

could community memebers set up groups, or chats or whatever of their own or would it only be team members?

Already did. 

I completely agree. Slack is king - no other forum or chat app can compare.

I do have to agree here. Slack is really sweet. I no longer hold any arch, my only alt holding is xcurrency. When I was using slack it was simple to use, allows for a great amount of privacy, and was easy to organize and locate information. Many community members were able to create their own topics as well.

The team may want to explore it a bit. Bitcointalk and xctalk feel archaic after using it, no offense Teka. Will you post this at xctalk Infinitechaos?

I love this idea!

I seem to remember a while ago Dan was asking about a decent team management program to use. Not sure what the outcome was, but this would be brilliant if you can choose what is shared with who, so the team could use it but the community could get involved in certain aspects too.

(maybe post this on the forum, think were trying to migrate there now instead of here)

Over at ARCH HQ we've been using this awesome app called Slack to organize ourselves.

https://slack.com/

It's been quite effective. You can set up different channels with different topics, make private channels, and even set up bots and scripts to automate certain things.

With ARCH we've got it set up with an automated script such that you need to hold at least XXXX ARCH to even have access (keeps out the troll trash). Then there are more private channels for those who hold more coins.

I could see this being a useful medium for XC. There are obviously community members here who want to be engaged in the project on various levels and Slack would provide an all-in-one medium for XC supporters to gather and for the team to help control the level of community involvement and information dissemination. Arlyn, Dan, and Teka could have their own private channel for their own internal purposes. There could be another private channel where Dan invites select supporters to help him test releases. There could be a public channel where the community tests releases and features amongst themselves.

All discourse is logged and searchable so that people can log on and go back and see what was discussed a few days back.

There are apps for Android and iOS so that you can stay in the loop on the go.

Simply put, Slack is the shit. And the best part is that it's all ready to go and free for the basic features. All we'd have to do is decide to make the move and never look back.

thanx for the update synechist! Dont take my silence as a bad sign, im riding XC till the very end. Cant look forward to rev3 and XC ITO! I really want to experience REV3+next BTC pump and enjoy the fireworks

Good point, and I agree. I prefer to get everything mapped out and planned, and have asked the community to wait until we're ready - but I see your point and agree that there's merit in some form of regular update in the interim.


I'm not sure that a daily update is what I have in mind for the current phase we're in, but something regular enough - perhaps a weekly summary in addition to Dan's releases and news as and when things happen - would do well.

(This would be on xctalk, for the record.)

I agree. That would be great. Generally if I post on a thread, it'll be quite a wait before someone responds.


Yes it's a great pity that the recent smear campaign has caused XC to lose supporters.

It's been very, very taxing for us, and has certainly had a (temporary) impact on the pace of development. It's also had an impact on how we're thinking of our market - i.e. that there's no better time to take the emphasis of Bitcointalk, and most probably to move emphasis onto B2B clients.

Also, all the noise has made it a lot harder for XC supporters to keep abreast of what we've been doing. For example, it's completely incongruous to me that a person like qawxsz actually thinks that the Blocknet is bad for XC.



Its days are numbered. ;-)

Yeah thanks for the reply Arlyn and I agree about this place, but also with the above post. I too would ignore the trolls if I were you.

All I really want to see is updates. What worries me is, if you are still here but not posting, I can only assume there is nothing interesting you can tell us. How can we give constructive criticism if there is nothing to criticize? (other than lack of information)

Those daily updates you used to do, simply saying "Dan is still coding on X, I am doing Y and Teka is doing Z" etc.

That's all it really took to keep the community members happy. If you can't muster up one post a day, it doesn't give us much hope that there is anything going on at all. Do you see what I'm saying?

Forget this place if you're not going to post in it, but can we get some updates on xctalk? Dan posted a "Daily update" thread which hasn't been posted in for a week.

Fair enough. It would be nice to see more interaction between xc community members and the team at xctalk. Right now there is small handful of members posting over there and not much interaction from the team.

Most of the community has no idea what is happening with xc and I haven't seen many answers over there yet. The answer to a stronger, more secure xcurrency network is users and it seems as though we have lost many xcers over the last month or so; including several whales and some of our most vocal enthusiasts. How can we change this?


From here on out I will begin checking xctalk on a daily basis. Let's port the conversation over there and let this thread die.

No it was my second request in a row that we move XC-related discussion to a relevant thread. I think my tone was warranted.


There are some great community members here, but I think Bitcointalk is an awful place and I want as little to do with it as possible at the moment.

Since Teka moderates this thread, I just watch apathetically while trolls and idiots consistently set its tone and topic.

For a post to stand a chance of getting me to engage positively, it'll most likely be constructive critical discussion about a given piece of XC's tech. That'll be awesome. Unfortunately this pretty much never seems to happen in this thread.

So I'm around.

But I'm not interested in allowing trolls etc. to take up my time. It's almost never worth it.

The website is going well here is partial slide from it: https://i.imgur.com/BKxZJrm.png, final version will have info on xcurrency,xchat, mobile and menu. To be honest thats more a wallpaper.

Business, Econ, Maths and Physics (A Level).

Good to see you are still around. 

Maybe it is worth closing this thread then with a link to the official forum. Just keep this thread for updates. Its felt like its been abandoned lately. Fair enough if you have had studies etc.

+1

Blocknet set XC back in a hole. Will re-invest once the price stabilizes. 

Also I would love to mine XC but the multipool is shit. Just my 2 cents
