Next thing you know Syn will have us communicating via AOL Tongue 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.

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.



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

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

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.)


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?

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.

Will you post this at xctalk Infinitechaos?


Already did.  Grin

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

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?

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.



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)

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)

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.

Quote
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.

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.)



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

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.

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

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?

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.

Synechist, this is your response to an XC supporter showing genuine concern?

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.

X1000! What the hell happened Arlyn?

Since the end of the ITO it's like you couldn't give a shit about XC at all and only rarely reply to blocknet posts. Before you seemed engaged, interested, updates were constant, you were friendly. Now we get nothing here, and vague, irritated sounding answers in the blocknet thread. Some big holders of XC have dumped in the last few weeks, don't any of you care anymore? It's fucking depressing checking this thread every day lately. Just FUD, frustration and NOTHING from the "team" that we have trusted since the start.

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.

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.

Its because Synechist is the moderator for blocknet thread and Teka is moderator for XC thread.

It seems Teka has gone AWOL.  Huh

Nope I'm still here, my study life over the last few weeks has been extremely busy so I've focused on work and answering PMs. I have also personally decided that from this point going forward I will probably be mainly spending more time on xctalk rather then bitcointalk.

Good to hear from you brotha! I was genuinely concerned that you might have left us! I know how Uni life can get super busy this time of year. I know this thread can be a pain to moderate but the delete bot in a blocknet thread has been quite effective. Is it being used here?

No which is one of the reasons why we want to create a new thread soon that is created by an account which we can share.

Teka nice to hear from you ..how is the website going? did you put any of my suggestions into it?

What are you studying?

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).

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.

Arlyn not to be a dusche but lately you lack internal communication a lot. If you need one more person to organise that inside your team and keep the loop with the community, I have already suggested you to pick one up from the community after interviews for however would like to do it and is found worthy from the team.

Can we please discuss XC-related topics elsewhere?

This is the wrong thread.

We don't lack internal communication, and you're not really in a position to tell.

We've heard your suggestion and will consider it on independent grounds.


Synechist, this is your response to an XC supporter showing genuine concern?  Who do you work for anyways, Block or XC?  The reason cryptico wrote there was because you only post in Block's thread these days and never on XC's thread.  

The way you have been treating some of XC's longest supporters lately has been off-putting.  Please rethink your strategy.

X1000! What the hell happened Arlyn?

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
