I've been reading up on XC and it looks solid - I bought my first 200 XC yesterday and today (woohoo!). One thing I haven't been able to figure out: if I accumulate 1000 XC and create an Xmixer, will I lose my ability to stake and only collect Xmixer fees? Or can I both stake and act as an Xmixer?
If I have to choose between running an Xmixer or stake, which do y'all think is more profitable? Thanks XCers (goats

?)!
at the moment staking is more profitable until the mixers fees are fined tuned...anyway yep you will have to choose one or the other for the moment
That answers my question - thanks!
The goat thing started as a joke and actually still is a joke, but I think because I have been with XC(and my name is Mountaingoat) for a while now and goats are just funny in general people started using them as the official unnoficial mascot of XC.
Here is the post I made about it:

Goats are indeed funny - I fully support the goat logo

i think a goat has no connections to XC at all and wouldn't be a good decision branding wise.
one better animal than a goat would be a cameleon, as it is hard to spot like the private transactions of XC.
