Hi all

I'd like to confirm the news just posted here.

The XC and Qibuck devs are partnering to develop a feature that'll allow nodes to earn money.

A few details:

- It's a particularly exciting feature that I'm not sure anyone else has thought of yet.

- The reason for the partnership is that by sharing resources we reduce both development time and costs, and in this case we will not disadvantage XC's market position in any way (more info as to why will follow).

- Silverkinguk (Samuel) is part of the XC team and so if he announces something it can be trusted.

That just makes the team sound incompetent. Why are we collaborating with QiBuck? XC supposed to be the best coin out there, all tech developed supposed to be original. By collaborating with other coins, we put ourselves with those coins in the same category. Do we really want to be known to associate with QIBuck? If they fail, XCs reputation fail with it. Do we really want to take that risk? The same thing goes with Dan reviewing other coin. If Dan gave a good review and those coins turns out to be a scam or P&D. What that will do to Dans reputation? There are so many scams and shit coins out there, why are we not distance ourselves from them? On top of that, that guy dropped in here announce the news before the XC team can announce it first.

I love the XC team, but this is very sad.

i hate to admit this publicly, but there have been moments when i think xc is just another racket (wish i could read source code) ...but then i try to consider all of the factors. the factor that settles me back in is always how hard and diligent this team works. maybe they occassionally expend energy where i think it is far from productive (namely the hiatus with mamm coin Sad

) but then they're back to business. what all factors they have to take into consideration when formulating their agenda i know is beyond me. these things are not within my control, this is not my brainchild.

1) i am certain it is in the teams best interest not to be associated with scam coins and that they are quite aware of that fact. and i'm certain they know the difference so therefore scamcoins will be avoided as best they see fit.

2) i don't think that if QiBuck fails, it will reflect poorly on xc. all i see happening in a scenario like that is the QiBuck supporters finding a home here.

3)correct me if i'm wrong, but dan is only reviewing coins who are utilizing xc's rev1 sourcecode? therefore he will receive recognition and be considered the grandfather of them all. a reputation that commands automatic respect. it's called name recognition. again, i only see those investors keeping a closer eye on xc because of his review (when they ask themselves who the #@$! is dan?!) and will be one of the first flood of new investors here.

there. i said it.

If QBK fails, then that will weigh negatively on XC. Example, GM owned Pontiac. Pontiac did horribly and now guess what, Pontiac as a car brand is gone. GM Stock took a hit. Daimler merged with Chrysler, we all know what happened there - bad move.
Sometimes collaboration/merging is not a smart move. Especially with a coin like QBK which can't sustain itself.

IF Pontiac was a subsidiary of GM, then sure....

QBK is not co-created nor owned by Dan nor XC.
