So XST unlike cloak has open source anonymous technology ? It has devs who are known ? Hmm I smell pumping. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.
As far as I know, XST only has anon for their StealthText part and that's the only thing Dan Metcalf "audited". Of course all the shills, sockpuppets, hype masters etc try and make everyone believe Dan blessed the coin in it's entirety. While interesting, StealthText requires you to actually install 3 other programs as well to get it to work.
StealthSend is still vapor ware. At this point I'd also be a little concerned due to the whole Monero might have an exploit thing. From reading the XST white paper, it seems to me it's basically doing anon like CN coins but changing to Chandran signature (which may have their own issues). IF BCX is to be believed, it's not the tech itself in CN that has the flaw, it's how it's implemented. Thus XST could also suffer from the same issue. I also don't like the way the whitepaper gives an example to make itself appear superior to CN due to a reduction in block size but fails to mention how it could actually be bigger with only a handful of signatures. But at this point it's all a wait and see thing.
And yeah. Multiple P&D groups all over XST and LXC so they are both risky at this point as you have to guess at their exit points and get out before they do. The coin was around this level before and got dumped and then was manipulated to hold at around 9k for quite some time. It's been allowed to rise now but is being controlled to slow it down. My feeling is that it will get dumped around 15k and then allowed to build again for the next "news" which is supposed to be StealthSend I think.
