So much inverse fud. The last pump was coordinated. The current price is a bit inflated. Crypto is a near-sighted endeavor. Why leave dead money for weeks when you can double up on a much cheaper coin in a day or so?

Or to lose your BTC on another shitcoin. Look at those P&Ds, when you see it pumpin, its already too late.

People have lost money in XC. You can lose money in any coin buying at the top of a downward trend. Every coin is a P&D assuming you have the capital to be able to manipulate the price. I've doubled up on coins that were well into a pump. I wonder sometimes if some of you really believe the things you post. The longer threads on this forum seem less like civilized discourse and more like idol worship.

Using anecdotal evidence coupled with the recommendation with using cheaper coins to double up.

When you 'doubled up on coins', where do you think those coins came from? Someone had to lose for you to gain. Most significant P&D schemes are a result of insider trading, and not a result of having capital to 'manipulate the price' as you describe.

You have to understand that some people believe in the long-term survivability and subsequent appreciation of the project.

People are long on this coin.  We'd rather accumulate and hold than risk losing btc in some p&d.  Buying at the top of some weekly downtrend means nothing when you're in it for the long-term.

I'm guessing you're one of the people from the Misc who lost money on XC during that dump in early June? Not hating, just curious.

The OP of that thread made a ton of money buying in early on Darkcoin and thought XC would follow the same trend. It didn't.

You're basically in uncharted territory when it comes to the success of a particular cryptocurrency. People like to point to the rise of BTC, LTC, or DRK and look for patterns in an attempt to predict an altcoin's future, but this is a mistake imo. The landscape changes significantly and way too frequently. Anon is all the rage right now, in a few months some other feature will be.  All you can do is try to predict what direction crypto will go, or you can chance your money on the short-term, highly volatile coins.

Could someone make a complete noob tutorial for making your XC completely 100% safe. Teka you mention you have yours stored very safely what did you do?

Thanks :-)


We made one on the website: http://www.xc-official.com/wallet/

Of particular relevance are encrypting your app, backing up your wallet.dat file, and backing up your private keys.

Let us know if you have any questions, but the how-to should pretty much sort you out.




Cheers,  I must have missed that.  The guide is fine for the latest wallet I presume?

@ teka,  do u mean backup wallet.dat in an encrypted fine on a USB?

Yup or you can just put the password on the wallet within the qt and transfer it to usb.

Mine is about as extreme as it gets.

The general rule is an encrypted password protected backup on a usb memory stick in two separate locations if you can.


Teka, Sent you a PM about a question I have with something I "may" have messed up.

 however we have been working with the VRC developers and all major exchanges to hard fork the coin at a position before the attack. This will allow us to retrieve the stolen coins and facilitate all withdrawals. We are also working with various exchanges to accommodate any losses they may encouter as a result of the required fork.


Can they really do that?

Yup and they did.

The real question is all the BTC traded. I for one, never keep any kind of amount of BTC on an exchange, so lets say you sold, got BTC of course, withdrew... what happens with them? Are they gonna screw those people too?

What  a mess.

Looks like we may have seen the back of the price drop nonsense... Can see us going over 200k next 24 hours and not looking back...

So, who will win the world cup!?

Germany of course !

Did you guys see Mintpal was hacked for VRC? All the more reason to keep your coins off exchange  Undecided


when ?

Yeah, also they only attacked vrc balances?
Probably rather stupidly I have my XC spread over several exchanges....but the windows walletr is fine and working isn't it?
Can I download from official XC website?
Is there a step by step guide for dumb people like me Smiley


Same here, I've had all my XC on Mintpal for the past couple months... time to get it outta there.

I would get it out right now if I was you.

For all we know, the Vericoin hacker is trying to target other hot wallets. Even if Mintpal patched the original security hole, doesn't mean there aren't more holes a pro hacker can't find.

Additionally, the less XC there is on Mintpal, the less damage it will do to XC if a hacker gets all of the XC on there. I would rather they get 5% of all XC than 35% of all XC.
