Never thought of XPay but now you said it ... wil never forget it Wink
Great name imo



Yeah i gave it some thought and came to the conclusion XCurrency sounds to "economical" for everyday people. thats great for the platform  but not for the coin itself. XPay would close that gap.

XC has some old man dust on it for various reasons that hinder a lot of people to connect with it on a emotional level which is also important for mass adoption. XC gets often compared to apple, well they got that shit down and we not quiet yet.

I sometimes get the impression the write ups of our Press releases are almost "too good" from an articulation and writing style point of few. I personally take great joy in people like synechist that talk and think outside the box but lets face it, majority of people rather get put of if they can't relate to someone or something and XC presentation while one of a kind gives me that expression sometimes of beeing to "special". i don't want street talk but a little more peoples language would be better i think.

thats not personal synechist , i love your writing style in this thread but for the public image it shoul be more accessible. Right now XC looks like some project of only University professors 50+ if you only read about it in the media and not in here.

XC is technically the best. period. and we who know can buy still cheap cause XC on the other hand is not cool atm. for mass adoption that has to change.


Yes, I do needed a dictionary on more than one of those releases, even on some of his posts. And that 'easy to read' description about how the anon tech of XC works got a lot of positive response.

thats reminds me: one thing was unclear to me, second paragraph:
- since this network is a mesh, it does not encounter problems if nodes drop out of the network during the transaction. Thus it's robust against DOS attacks (i.e when a node refuses to sign, which breaks other technologies, like CoinJoin).

Fail to understand the link between a 'bad node' (fail to sign can be intentional if i understand it correct) & DOS, Atm think the terms 'multisig' & 'transaction timeout' are needed to explain the reaction to that event or even a split of that bullet between tech problems or a deliberate attempt to steal the coins that sould be forwarded

Does it lack the bloat that cryptonote coins have?

there is no bloat.

Yes thats correct, no bloat.

Has this actually been quantified in any way? Something like "10 XC transactions result in 5x larger block than 10 BTC transactions" or so?


I am pretty sure the current release allows XC trades of up to 100 XC if not more, can't you test it by yourself?(I am questioning the feasibility of extracting the results you need, not being ironic)

I think the branding is top notch, one could come up with an additional term for the payment option and turn XCurrency into the platform. like Xpay or something. is easy to say worldwide.

XC rather suffers a bit in viral quality but i have zero idea how to improve that from a pr point of view. doge lives solely from it. but also coins like Dark have it more than XC does. I think thats part of the puzzle to increase the base volume that we could use right now.

have totally forgotten about the stealth adresses. thats such a killer feature.

Yep - the X works just like the i - XPay, XChat, XWeb 
To bad the domain name is taken by a porn related payment processor.

Thanks for the tip, just checked the client and yes it's gone up a lot.
Yesterday it said expected time to earn reward was like 26 days. Now it says 2 days so will leave it running open in a couple of days.

Just wondering, when i leave the client open for (stacking)(minting)(forging) are my funds secure ?
Also i understand by running the client it strengthens the network but does the client have to be open ?

Whilst i.m on the hunt for info, what are the transaction fee's ?
Lastly for today, it's not a question of been lazy or reluctant to read a full monster thread but do you have a Questions and Answers Page for new users ?

Thanks
Some time ago there was talk about a seperate thread for this purpose, still in progress?

There is an pretty complete description about POS and how the weight is calculated in the Bitcoin wiki. Have no idea if the XC implementation matches this design but it should be a nice base.
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Proof_of_Stake

Thanks kimmy
But it still does not explain how the network weight is calculated.....

True, thats where i also starts asuming things, like the network weight is the combined weight of all addresses with a balance.
Guess we have to wait for the team to answer this 'in between' or publish the paper about the innerworkings of XC.
But for me its just curiosity, the only real answer i needed was: coins stake 3.3% a year. Based on my own wallet observations this is working like a charm.

1- yes unlock for staking only
2- yes if you want to strenghten the network
3- 0.00001 for non anon / anon not clarified around 0.001 for what I saw
4- That would be handy there is not a quick newbie QA page at the moment.

Hi Arlyn,

In the OP there is the Mobile Staking Wallet release with REV 2.5. Will this be released as well at same time with Rev 2.5? I kind of missed that. It will be pretty cool Smiley

Read a little bit about xc and have a few Qs

1 Is the mining stage over ? if so can you inform Bter and the like to update mining links

2 The distribution of the coins, was there an ipo ? did all the coins go to early miners ?

3 Do i have to leave my wallet open to stack or (forge)? and should i keep it running to improve reward odds?

Thanks in advance



1. Yes mining stage is over.
2. There was no IPO , yes the coins were mined by whoever was mining, there is currently a multipool thou that can allow you to mine other coins and get paid in XC  http://xcpool.xcurrency.co/
3. what i usually do is leave my wallet closed for a couple of days and open it to check my weight compared to the network, once it reaches a higher level i leave my wallet open for a block to be mined then once i have received it all back plus POS interest i close the wallet down for another few days to a week.

You can check daily on the wallet and you will see that even after keeping your wallet closed for over 24 hours, your own coin weight has increased.
