i know the team needs to be prepared but the rest should just think positiv .
Arlyn when will the xc thread be up again. guess you wanna restart with some news.

I think it is safe to reopen the BTC talk thread again. The fud storm is over.
We'll be doing this at some point. I'm also considering a separate thread just for announcements, so that they can all be on one easily accessible place instead of getting drowned out.
I like this idea. Update the announcements and basically lock it so it can't be swamped with a bunch of useless posts.
The past few days I have been assembling info into XC, BlockNet, and Dan Metcalf documents. I'm hoping these docs will cover almost ANYTHING you'd want to know about XC or the BlockNet but from a completely objective view. Even what some consider FUD will be covered and backed up with answers and supporting links. Hopefully the XC doc and BlockNet doc will be available within the next few days. The Dan Metcalf doc will not be made public but will be available to limited parties under extraordinary circumstances. I've considered adding the docs to my own moderated XC/BlockNet thread but I am open to any suggestions that anyone might have.
