i like the name but i think price is too high all it has is stealth addresses nothing else. i think people are just hyped up about the name. i will be watching for further developments. have we got a whitepaper

Anything innovative planned?
The dev is onto something special here... let me explain.

When SDC launched and subsequently introduced "stealth addresses" I was both a. excited and b. disappointed. For me, SDC missed a trick (bitcoin had no choice when Peter Todd introduced Stealth because bitcoin was already a live chain), launching "stealth" mid blockchain does not allow you to get the best out of its capabilities. Using "stealth addresses" from genesis gives you "anon" built in from day one because you can never associate the public key (as seen on the block chain) with an actual stealth address (as given out to third parties for receiving payments). The only parties that know the "shorter" public key to a stealth address is 1. the sender and 2. receiver.

Ironically, I have been wondering for weeks about how cool it would be to have a coin which had stealth addresses from genesis block including the PoW phase ... low and behold someone launches the exact thing...

I am excited to hear the ongoing plans and the development of XCash; it is time for the vapour-ware "anon" coins to move over...

New logo looks great too!
