Completely agreed.   No date until it's completely ready.   Why give trolls materials to FUD.   Long term holders don't care about short term delivery.  We are here for the post rev 3 rise.

I agree. I was being a little "tongue in cheek".
As i said some pages ago, I've been looking for a better alt coin, but can't seem to find one, so I'm happy to hold and buy sometimes if it dips too much, but it is quite a stable coin.

Holy sell order at 0025.. Apparently someone agrees with mike x 3 !

Thank you! All I can say is:

The post-rev 3 era with mobile staking, interchains, and point-of-sale integration is gonna blow the scene apart.

+1 This is good to hear.

+1 thanks, arlyn. watching you guys operate on this forum for the past weeks, i really don't need a roadmap ...let alone an eta. i'm just happy to ride your shirtails 

You've basically summarised our whole outlook. Real-world adoption is the key to XC's success, and this comes down to quality marketing and to effortlessness of use.

At present our main thrust though is to make XC usable at any traditional point of sale system. That's pervasive real-world usability that will outdo Bitcoin's current penetration.

Another opinion on the roadmap: We need to spend more time thinking about adoption as a payment platform.  Right now we have an indeterminate timeline to the fully featured v3 release (which is mostly focused on technology), plus some hand-waving at ATMs and PoS.  That statement is a bit brusque but it's also true.

No one should care about either ATM or PoS, and frankly no one on the XC team should be spending hardly any time or energy on it.  What fraction of BTC usage is via either of those two channels?  Less than 1%?  The reason for that is because the idea that you can offer a solution remotely competitive with WF or Visa or whatever is a joke.  What would be far more valuable is discussions about areas we can add value with e.g. the OpenBazaar guys, or various internet payment platforms that have real transaction volume and currently only offer BTC / LTC / etc.  Are those discussions occurring?  Are we waiting to have those discussions until we reach certain technology milestones?  Whats the plan?

Basically, Dan is a smart guy, but so are plenty of others devs working on anon, and it's not reasonable to assume that XC technology will be so far superior that it will be adopted over other solutions just because it exists.  And at some point you need actual adoption by non-miners / non-investors or we are just trading among ourselves which is not sustainable.  I guess I'm kind of giving a betamax vs. VHS speech here, but it matters and getting a workable product that people are actually using for payments is not only a massive differentiator against other anon coins, but also at some point a requirement of success.

Hello Mike! Always a pleasure to have you drop in on the thread.

Ha ha. Yes, I've even contemplated simply surprising people with news, with no warning or roadmap, so that the price is always driven by what's actually released. But that has its own problems, of course.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I'm super-excited about the future too.


P.S. Definitely come to the next conference we're at. That'll be great. I suppose we'll be letting the word out about our calendar at some point before Rev 3...

No, please don't. Release dates create speculation bubbles, this in turn creates volatility and ultimately discontent. Lets just enjoy the fact we have an excellent team working on an excellent project and enjoy the steady rise in value.

Anyways, Keep up the great work synechist. It was a great idea to employ you and your doing an excellent job, as are the rest of the team. Im really looking forward to Rev 2.5 and then Rev 3. Current belief is a value of $25 million to coincide with the latter and its subsequent PR, this doesn't include any potential bitcoin bubble either.

Really happy with everything that's going on here. Hopefully once I'm done on my travels I can come meet you guys in person at one of the conferences to express our gratitude.

Take care guys, hope you all have a splendid week.

Just want to reiterate this aspect of the updated timeline because people seem missed what's significant: NEW TECH.

Try not to look at the price too much  .
XCurrency is a long hold 

I find when the price is going down I have too many and when it is going up I somehow don't have enough

Something that would be really awesome was if this tread wasn't the most active place to discuss XC. Reddit is a ghost town I post what I can and answer questions but really no one is there. XC forums are nice from time to time but this site takes the cake for activity and IMHO that is a problem things just get lost in 800+ pages. For example of activity the updated roadmap is not yet on twitter, facebook, xc-forums or reddit. This is just me talking from what I have seen and have been following and want nothing but for XC to be THE crypto currency. Would it be so difficult to have reddit, facebook, twitter, XC forums and bitcointalk open in different tabs and post updates simultaneously to all?

I hope this is coming off as constructive criticism that is all it is meant to be I am just frustrated because I hate this forum being the place to go. I have kept up with this page from the OP and the pre moderated OP so I am pretty sure I have read every single post and can tell things get lost in the clutter. Is this just me what do the other members think or prefer? Personally reddit is my favorite place to go, topics are clear and conversations are easy to keep organized.

Just want to reiterate this aspect of the updated timeline because people seem to have wanted dates and thus missed what's much more significant: NEW TECH.

Understood the development has been incredible but I do think broad estimates as you put it would go along way. Something for the team consider.

Sure. I'm ok with broad estimates. The dev team have pushed themselves so hard of late that they haven't been in a position to assess timescales.

Not that this matters. We're on Rev 2.45 already. And XC has always had an insane rate of development.

Given the price now, it would appear many are not happy with this update?

Perhaps dates tied to milestones would help boost confidence Arlyn.

In any business, a project with dates tied to milestones always ensures success. Estimate dates with contingency added should be doable in any project. I understand your opinion on this but you should admit a roadmap is not really a roadmap if you don't know how long it would take to get there and when you will arrive?

I would be interested to know if Dan shares your same sentiment on this as I understand you speak for him and the team?

btw: thank you for your great communication today its been helpful.

Enough said.
