Seriouscoin,

I kindly want to ask what is really unique about this coin? I read all those things, you have written above, but they all seemed to me that you can find those in any kind of coins these days. Also it made me just a crowd of words but no actions. Can you please kindly state what is the next solid plan ? Will you create some unique tech developments like XC or DRK or BC had in their time? I am asking this, coz I have some XBC and thinking to invest some serious amount any soon, so I though maybe it is my right to know in my end..... Thank you and Warmest Regards,



Hello again halinyo,

In simplest terms, our next solid plans (short term) are our webstore which has been undergoing heavy development and a revision/customised interface to our wallet with additional features. The webstore should be wrapped up in the coming weeks. When I suggest a webstore I do not mean we are buying a prebuilt merchant application, this is something built from the ground up by Wallenstein himself including projects he has been focusing on for years before crypto ever even emerged and we already have vendors on the line with proposals on the table for incorporation.

I think the best way for you to get the true grasp of us would be to accept this challenge; talk to our developers in real time. Join us in our live chat at https://www.xbcplus.com/irc/bitcoinplus-irc-chat.htm and feel free to contact us, ask for wallenstein for insight on the webstore development, mindfox for discussion on wallet innovation, or myself for a breakdown on everything (SeriousCoins)

I do understand the point you are making. We are pressing to incorporate many factors which many coins promise but fail to successfully deliver. To this let me remind you that this is the exact reason why I hunted down trade professionals to incorporate into our core team. This coin hasn't been built upon a single developer purchasing a wallet and making false promises - We have a web developer who has been in business for over 25 years, we have a software developer who has over 30 years of experience, we have business professionals (including myself, I have been in the Accounting and Finance sect nearly half of my life on top of my passion for development). We all have a lot of connections and will deliver on these promises. I also believe thus far we have proven we are a long term team, we worked during a market pump to our highest price point, we continued to work through our lowest points and never once broke down, only keeping our eyes on our long term goals.

As far as wallet technology, we are working out our spec sheet for coming wallet updates, as well as our overall intentions for an investor proposal. If you look at our official forum (just launched): https://xbcplus.com/community/ you can find the project section where I have posed the initial input forum for wallet revisions. I have been working on a concept I believe will be groundbreaking for a wallet feature, but I cannot announce with conclusive evidence that this is so within an estimable time frame. Lastly, the absolute primary focus on my end is to bring real life business value to these coins. There is always a new wallet feature that comes and goes, but where is the true intrinsic value to the coin? Where is the coin with a team of real world professionals working towards these goals of real world mainstream vendor applications and usage who have the experience and know how to make these things so? This is where XBC will surely stand way ahead of the pack. This is not a coin to buy and hold for one day, we are all in this for the long haul and will continue working tirelessly until we build a self sufficient machine.

with all due respect to all that awesomeness...  My outsider take is:

Bitcoin itself is too slow for many point of sale situations but always has the advantage of being more likely to hold it's value over other fast but volatile alt coins.  

Bitcoinplus is super fast and offers the promise of value-stability due to the small number of coins.

Bitcoin has serious future issues to overcome with the expense of POW and no possibility of an increase in the number of BTC in existence. (the problem there is BTC may become too valuable to spend but the expensive network needs transactions to survive)

Bitcoinplus is POS now so the cost to support the XBC network is significantly less than BTC's network. The supply of XBC will grow moderately over time - hopefully in alignment with adoption.

Those advantages really matter, but yes other coins have the features (pretty much anyway, XBC has an amazingly small number of coins).  Bitcoinplus, however, can be more easily marketed with those features because it can be branded as the fast cousin of BTC due to the name similarity.    

With all due respect to Mr. Shakespeare this may well be a situation where there is really something special in the name;  the 'plus' is really relevant and should be easy to communicate over time.
