BTW XC was bashed a bit in the DRK thread:

Would be great to eventually brand and name it something that promotes these aspects of its use. I love Tor and its capabilities, just hate the word Tor as it has been smeared in the mainstream. But makes sense to call it DarkTor in the present stages as it easily explains what it is.

Could call it DarkMesh or something similar so its not "Tor"

Don't call it Dark or Tor, or any combination.

Call it Web 3.0.

Average Joe and Jane will simply think there is a new internet being created. One where you are not tracked to death by those wanting to sell you something based on what you have been browsing recently or what you were just discussing on Facebook or Twitter.

If you give it a generic label resembling something people already trust, you beat the name association game of, Tor = bad, Dark = bad, DarkTor = very fucking bad.

Bitcoin has had to fight a similar problem. Its taking years and years to shake off the negative images that the media were able to cast on it.

Web 3.0 has a ready made narrative: we are pissed off with all the shit ads being targeted at us by internet giants needing to show quarter by quarter revenue growth.

We think the internet is free, but its not. We pay by allowing others access to our identities, and we don't even ask them to pay for it.

If you maintain this status, you will lose your identity because you can become a media campaign and herded to buy things at given times of they day, week, month or year.

Stop being sheep. Pay up $0.10 in DRK to use Web 3.0.

I don't mind that they copy me, I mind that they don't have any ideas of their own

Apparently this guy invented DRK.. Here i thought Evan was the lead dev.

We'll get there though.

It's the BBC, I'm surprised they even mentioned Bitcoin. Overall, did you think the doc. was fair?

Considering it is mainstream media then yes reasonably fair. I think it both represented those who believe in freedom and the right to privacy but also those that believe that freedom and privacy is synonymous with criminal intend.

But why does the GCHQ or the NSA need privacy? if everything they do is legal they wouldn't need it and the fairytale about criminal intent is just the easiest way to change the perception of the mass.
And blaming wistleblowers that they did something bad by revealing that this agencies are spying on us (as this information could help terrorists) is just a completly braindead argumentation but as it seems the argumentation is good enough for most of the people.

i'd love to have an anonymous currency as bitcoin won't ever by anonymous and if it gets mass adoption it will be even easier for this agencies to track the movement of money.

go XC go

***The XC Daily Update***

- XC is fast becoming the go-to project for gaining legitimacy. Dan will do a code review of Halycon Coin's tech in the very near future.

- Your previous comments or complaints were heard. Unlike previous code reviews, we're co-ordinating the PR for this, which means that the XC community can get in on this one.

- There will be a press release going out early next week about the code review.

- Dan continues finalising Rev 2. At present we're all on track for the deadline.

Thanks for update about Rev 2

I am waiting for it patiently, it will be huge breakthrough in crypto world and i hope this final version will be noticed more

Thanks Dan and whole team for great work

If you don't compile, then the following caveats definitely apply...

1. You need to generate compressed address/private keys because the XC wallet shows compressed public keys.
2. Which means you need the generator that support compressed address from lifeboat.com link (don't really know how trustworthy that exe is. Definitely want to run it offline and never let it connect to the net again just in case it sends the private key to some offsite location sometimes after)
3. You need to have older GPU to run oclvanitygen.exe (from that lifeboat.com link) since oclvanitygen don't support newer GPU like R9 type.

Mhhh, feel i can trust bitcoin.it but lifeboat is a different story. Am still playing with the ocl version, so far no luck Huh

Anyway, thanks for the warning!

I've used the vanitygen many times with other coins...
but this time it conflicts with the public key...

I guess we could use cryptogretsky's way with the paper wallet gen.

Actually.... This works...

vanitygen -X 75 XChat

and it's blazing fast even without using the opencl version since it doesn't work for me (R9 290)

yeah, of course it's fast...
I generated my xchat adress this way,
but when I imported this adres in my wallet and I asked my public key it gave me a public key witch was very long

it was even you cryptogretzky who said it didn't work Wink

I would like to test something...

I made myself a vanity adress for xchat
would someone please try to contact me over xchat?

adress: XCHATsLztdvJxb2BkrgVuoq7uoC73u6ghj
pubkey: Ro4rYufnJy7RYFnuJBaD1iz5Rrr8o77fyKbcnkAbqC57JCS148WVMabshBjHd1JsZGoJ2JZtj6LYtfP e8bavoY51

(I've noticed that my pub key is really long, that's why I want to test this)

If it works I'll explain it in a tutorial

Said Invalid destination public key

I do remember that test. Didn't know you use vanitygen before. The public key is extremely long too for me when I import the uncompressed private key. When I import the compressed private key though, the public key I get back is normal.... of course that defeat the purpose of the vanity address since the search is based on uncompressed address. So... ultimately, will need to modify the vanitygen to make it search based on compressed address instead of uncompressed address.

eg. make the following changes in pattern.c

len = EC_POINT_point2oct(pgroup,
             pubkey,
             POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED,
             eckey_buf,
             sizeof(eckey_buf),
             vxcp->vxc_bnctx);

to make it use POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED instead.

Now... if only I can compile it....

Ok, I FINALLY got the vanitygen to compile and it also generated compressed address that you can get valid public key out of from the wallet... it's not really for the faint of heart to get it to compile properly on Windows.... total pain in the butt. If someone needs to know how to compile it, I will see if I can reproduce the steps I took to get it to compile (most of the hassle was getting all the libraries that it needed to work)

Anyway, a few changes are needed to make it generate compressed address. Luckily, I found a fork of the vanitygen that already has the compressed address changes that is needed.

The location of the github is here:

https://github.com/WyseNynja/vanitygen

To make it generate valid XC address using this, you will need to use the following command:

Code:

vanitygen -X 75 -F compressed Xwhatever

I didn't have a chance to compile oclvanitygen to test to see if it works since it won't really run with 13.xx drivers with my R9. You might have better luck than me....

Please note that XC address is base58 encoded so you can't have O (capital O), I (capital i), 0 (zero), l (lowercase L) in your pattern.

No need to compile, you can download the complete set here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Vanitygen

If you don't compile, then the following caveats definitely apply...

1. You need to generate compressed address/private keys because the XC wallet shows compressed public keys.
2. Which means you need the generator that support compressed address from lifeboat.com link (don't really know how trustworthy that exe is. Definitely want to run it offline and never let it connect to the net again just in case it sends the private key to some offsite location sometimes after)

Hopefully this is a new trend now, rather than small sell after small sell, we just see continual small purchasing.. There is hardly any resistance IMO up to 200k and we could soon see ourselves trading much higher and at a much more appropriate level if this happens...

Dan, for Xchat, have you considered implementing functions as some app:

Wiper: wipe the chat history as user required
Cyber Dust: similar to Snapchat, delete the content within a set time
Wickr: content can only read on a chosen device

Cheers!

Yes that would be great, and notification if people copy or screenshot your message.
