Is Xbridge based upon the same principle as SuperNET is?

No i don't believe it is just yet, thats my point. Why is it being pitched as though it is? Just because its on a pic does not mean it is. I'm just wondering what the logic here is from dan/project team to put it there. Is it some jest to coheres Shadow to the project or an oversight maybe?

So i'm looking forward to someone in the know to engage in my attempt to strike a dialogue here, about it. Thanks again.




Disclaimer: This is my personal view which is likely to change after time. To me this seems like pressure on dan to formulate some sort of money grab. And however normal that is i fear it can also be somewhat detrimental to a cause for tech advancement. To me it seems like another way to get a hold of other peoples tech! Are we really at the point where we need to unite in such a way? I guess one can put forward a good argument towards "maybe it is".

To me, initially, this seems bias towards money and tech grabbing more then serving any future for us. (The industry and what the tech will serve in the future.)

This seems like, and i will reiterate initially, these are my own thoughts that this looks like it will only serve a few pockets and not really serve the industry as much. Please if you are not capable of a mature discussion please don't replay to my opinions because i mean no harm id just like to have a chat about it. Thanks.

I asked the very same question myself as soon as it was posted.

Here it is from the horses mouth...

All coins participating in Blocknet are equal, unlike Supernet only Bitcoindark would butthurt and take advantages over joining shitcoins.

Working together looks like it may be the next big experiment in alts. And honestly, good. Because if groups of coins become big, then there won't be much room for new alt pump and dump scams. I just hope further down the line that things like BlockNet and SuperNet are very picky on what coins allow to join.

I also like the idea of a XC company. I was waiting for a crypto to do this, and I even made a joke about it many months ago here on this thread. And with a company behind XC, you'll know that there is full time development going on. I wish it well. Why limit your product to Bitcointalk and 120,000 sats when it's much better than that. I think its a good move.

Blocknet doesn't sound like a joke to me.  I am not sure what I find funny about coins, each with their own specialization, collaborating for R&D and creating what sounds like a new way of distributing content and supporting interaction - all of which is not going to be beholden to standard data mining techniques.  It's an infrastructure that is being built.  

The entire summer, I watched the XC thread and there were many points where people were dissatisfied.  Why?  Because they were expecting a pump.  They were expecting something right then and there.  But I also saw continued development.  Relevant tech doesn't just get built over night and XC didn't get built over night.  I wonder what would have happened if XC had delivered REV1 and been happy?  We would have continued from coin to coin with many scams and much volatility.  Instead, we have a solid foundation that is looking like that "Bulletproof" claim is going to hold water.  Not only that, we have a coin that is set-up to distribute content in the near future.  The base is there and the tech is going to be something that I will use...much less other coins that I have invested in and then bailed on because I didn't see think that the dev had vision beyond a flavor of the month feature (not to diss them, I feel the crypto currency community is the largest R&D movement of our time and aside from obvious scams we need all of the input we can get).

Which brings me to my next point.  The coins on the list have unique features that can not only benefit XC but other coins...and ultimately the end user.  Util is working on programing how to filter malicious content to avoid risk to people who use their VPN (and now Blocknet).  SSD came up with stenographic transactions - coin movement embedded in pictures taken from pictures that you take from your smart phone.  XST has some pretty awesome SMS capabilities.  Fibre beat keylogging programs by creating an android like swiping pattern password for their wallet and have also released their own OS.  LXC decided to work on sidechains (sidechains!).  And my mentions aren't the sole focus of any coin I referenced or the full spectrum of what the combined dev force of all the coins included are capable of.  But these are all features that people want to use...and while I speak for myself, I think that they can come up with features that I and others will want to use.

Enabling the devs of each coin to work on what they do best to create something that will work together and bring an ultimately friendly and secure user experience is awesome. I don't see a joke here.  I see the beginning of another development process that will create the foundation for more innovation...and everyone working together only gets us there faster.  

Judging this endeavour based on the social persona that has developed in the crypto community this past year (chasing pumps) is disingenuous...because they aren't trying to behave in the fashion that everyone has come to expect, in my opinion.  Because that way didn't work.

Looking forward to more news...

SDC is going to be/is one of the contributing coins to Blocknet. Good news IMO

Can someone, part of the team or in the know, please tell me why sdc is on this pic, shadow is not part of that project so it stands to be misleading as of right now. Can someone fill me in please. Thanks.

Good luck with it all the same i just don't understand the tactic. I'm sure someone can explain the logic to me though. Thanks.

Synechist will no doubt answer any questions you have tomorrow. Its 4am here right now. Read back through the last few pages, He's already answered a lot of questions including the differences between Blocknet & Supernet.

I need sleep. Laters.

edit: also, what jibble said.

What makes you look butthurt is your overly emotional reaction to the news presented to you

"blocknet sounds like a joke"

You have instantly taken an emotional opinion purely based on the name......It's not like supernet is that much better

#


You show you can't even pay attention to details

"I'd like to know who you are going to get to invest in it EXCEPT for XC holders who are hoping to get 10% on their money"

Every coin that is part of the blocknet will be able to buy at a 10% discount in their own currency

This shows you have placed judgement on something without even being able to read the actual facts of it, again another emotional indicator .

This is why he is claiming you are butthurt , You are showing your emotions towards something you think has "ripped" off something you seem to follow and then made purely subjective judgements based on your feelings towards being copied

It's butthurt because you are obviously invested in supernet and are now crying like a baby on this forum because of this. If it doesn't succeed,  then so be it. If it is accepted over supernet so be it. I can't believe we still have people in crypto that get upset whenever a new project comes along that is similar to another.
May the best man win.

the future of XC is good ,and hold on the coin.

That's all? That's the first response I get?

I am not butthurt at all. What is there to be butthurt about? BlockNet sounds like a joke. Maybe its not. But if it is what it sounds like it is, I'd like to know who you are going to get to invest in it EXCEPT for XC holders who are hoping to get 10% on their money. And, yes, if you can convince enough people to do that it will pump XC. However, on the other side of this "ICO" what is supporting the value? Nothing that I can see but AIR, just like every other alt coin in the world.

Why is this attractive to anyone besides large holders of XC? What leverage - either in dev know-how or respect within the altcoin world do the current XC devs have to pull something like this off? Thats why it doesnt sound like a legitimate attempt. It sounds like a joke.

A dash of Gold Bond would do wonders for that butthurt.

The BlockNet sounds like a joke. At least right now. I'm happy to have someone prove me wrong.

Do you have any thing you'd like to share about completely ripping off the SuperNet idea, except for the fact that Supernet is backed by tangible and refundable assets, where "BlockNet" is backed by air?

How is this not a just a blatant attempt to pump XC?

Is this a joke?

As a longterm investor, I'm a bit puzzled by the lack of focus on XCurrency. We haven't even officially launched this coin and we're talking about new tech, new corporation, etc.

Don't get me wrong I think the blocknet is a fantastic idea but it will involve huge development effort on Dan and his team.

Can we get one thing 'Dan's baby' delivered before we announce more things? I don't think I'm the only one with these concerns.

Do we have any estimate dates on the official launch of XC?

When holding actual company shares, there needs to be a clear business plan for break even and profit. Waiting on this before investing in shares.

where is the profit by holding blocknet shares?
