Once the swap takes place, are there any immediate plans for marketing, etc or is that all still to be decided? Thanks.

It took me a while but I got all my coins over to Poloniex. I had to send it smaller amounts.  Thanks everyone for your help.  Looking forward to a new beginning.

Thanks guys for resurrecting this coin once again.  I have a slight problem though. I have the Mac wallet and have been successfully staking since the beginning but for some reason I can't seem to send any coins to Polo. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Hi...
Is the wallet unlocked and if so is it unlocked unlocked or unlocked for staking only?

The code for the Mac wallet is the same as for the windows wallet. If in the windows wallet there is a checkbox that allows you to switch of staking, then that same box will be there in the Mac wallet.
If you would switch staking off, then you have to wait the coins to mature before they will become "Spendable".

So if all your coins are in "Stake" and only a few are in "Spendable" then you should wait to transfer the coins. You can only transfer the coins if they are "Spendable".

*** Everybody should allways keep the combination address and private key some where save ***


Ok, I was able to spend a little time on the wallet this weekend.  I made sure all coins had matured.  I tried to send the coins but it just "thinks" for a long time and then says there is a transaction error.  If I do a back up and reinstall the program do I need to uninstall the program first? 


Wait until mdtspain advises you on what to do with your mac wallet or pm him about the issue but beforehand go to console and type in     repairwallet    then check to see that your balance is showing the full amount being available for spending.Also try -rescan or -reindex id possible.
You would need to back up your wallet off the fully synced one you have and make sure all coins are on the balance and not staking before doing the backup.Make sure you have the private keys for ALL the addresses you have ever used to receive coins with this wallet also.
Once you are backed up and all keys are safely stored then you would uninstall the programme COMPLETELY.Then reboot and reinstall a new wallet.There is a bootstrap.dat available file to help you downlaod the blockchain quicker if you want.

Where exactly do I type "repair wallet" or "rescan" or "reindex id possible"?   Thank you

Ok guys.........after doing a little testing on the music front I think I've seen the light.  I will handle the XBCmusic department and will start contacting at least one musician(of course that I think have immense talent) and then contact them to see if they wish to collaborate with us as far as adoption is concerned.  I've realized that to do things just for profit and not to really help out people never amount to much and this might be a great thing to go after.  It makes me feel good to spread this and to get musicians involved and to help them.  I will continue on this front and do my best each day to get more involved.  Who knows.........maybe this could sprout into something ridiculously godzilla like.

Our first adopter is a musician/DJ/Producer by the name of DJ EDDIE.FM

xbcmusic.blogspot.com

P.S We need a XBC website revamp real soon.  Anybody have any contacts to really pimp out the site?  I can fund this on my own if need be.  Love yall.

Nice job on the blog GrounBEEF.  Can we take a snapshot of XBC and create BitcoinplusMusic(XBCM) department?  Owning XBCM would be like owning shares of this new music department but hopefully we could make it where one would still need to pay for the music with XBC.  I still don’t know if anything of this would be possible with our limited amount of funds and what would be involved in doing something like this but having new off chutes of XBC like BitcoinplusMusic(XBCM) will always make XBC relevant and not just fade away like so many other cryptos.   The latest and greatest innovations can always be included in the new “departments”.

Thanks for the support jjmv. Since there may be some interest in pursuing this I would like to expand on this idea a little further.  First off,  XBC would be like holding shares of a company and things like Bitcoinplusmusic would be the dividends paid to its stockholders.  By allowing off chutes of  XBC we are able to start small but also have the ability to grow exponentially.   But we obviously need to be different and innovative and that will be the most important part of this.   What would you think of owners of XBC always holding a 10% stake in all of it’s dividends, kind of like NXT and Unity rolled up into one.  For example,  those holding before the snapshot of bitcoinplusmusic would get there shares of bitcoinplusmusic and would also have a percentage of bitcoinplusmusic in their XBC as well.  If we are able to make this work  it means  the value of XBC will continue to grow with each new offering hopefully inching closer to your goal, GrounBEEF, of 500 BTC Smiley.  These are just some of my random thoughts but obviously the need for a willing developer is of the utmost importance in making any of this worthy of our consideration.

I am a long time holder of XBC and have been staking since the beginning and would like to thank all of you that have kept this coin alive.  You are asking for ideas, well I have a big one.  I am very much a layman when it comes to the technical side of cryptocurriences so my idea may be way out of our capabilities but I figured I would throw it out there anyway.  Is there any chance we could turn XBC into  something like Bitshares PTS or NXT where we take snapshots of XBC and  create say Bitcoinplusmusic, Bitcoinplusdollars, or  Bitcoinplusanything.  This would really make use of our Plus.  Something similar would be like what Cinni Coin is looking to do and that is creating a third party DAC(Decentralized Automated Company) where your ownership in Cinni gives you 80% stake in the new crypto and PTS and AGS get 10% each.  Getting the Bitshare community involved could really help with our exposure and volume.   GroundBeef, there may be a way of tying in your music with all of this as well.  Just my two cents worth.

Thank you very much. That will be very helpful.  Any chance you could get a few more from the REDD community to throw us a few votes?   Smiley

Count me in as well. Also, i know of some reddheads that will help you out with the voting.

Best of luck! Smiley

That's Great!  Thank you very much.

I unfortunately can not speak for them, but I have seen some people on Reddit already mention voting for XBC because of your awesome project. We are just waiting to see if we are delayed due to the attack.
Good luck with REDD and I hope you guys get listed today.

Nice work! Beautiful, clean site. This should build a lot of confidence by showing you guys are real and actually delivering on what you've been saying.

Thank you - and thanks to everyone who has complimented the site either here or via private message. I'm also aware of the small issue on the menu for mobile users - again, I'll fix this when I get the time

I'm sure there were some out there that thought you really didn't have access to the site and you were just stringing us along. This now eliminates all that fud.

We genuinely didn't have access to anything and it was looking extremely grim for a while. As far as I can see, all the issues regarding the old guard now seem to have been resolved.

When will we open a new thread to announce the relaunch?

Because the person that opened this thread has disappeared into the ether, we will need to get a mod to close it. Again, this will happen in due course.

At this point, I would like to point out that whilst things are now hopefully on the upturn, the reality is that there is still some way to go and things will not happen overnight. Cool heads are appreciated. At this juncture, I would also like to reiterate the disclaimer that I originally posted here.

Quote
DISCLAIMER: I hold zero XBC and currently don't intend to purchase any because I believe that getting 'emotionally involved' is not the best way for me to make clear judgments. I would also like to say that I am not going to put myself forward for the role of team leader either - this needs to go to someone who has the time to keep the momentum going. Instead I am offering my services as a sort of temporary intermediary - a bridge between old and new.

I am reiterating this because once my job is complete, XBC is in good hands going forward and I am watching from the sidelines, I don't want people to think that I too will be disappearing into the cyber-ether. The reality of the situation is that I run two businesses, one of which is a fledgling UK crypto exchange and the other involves me travelling hundreds of miles a week to promote and produce theatre shows. My contact details will stay on the XBC site and people will still be able to contact me whenever they like.

Thank you for all your hard work! It looks great and is much appreciated!
