Monero will not be able to magically adopt XCN's mini-blockchain technology. Blending the two is no where near that simple--if even possible.

I vote for minicoin -IF- you can get the .com or .org domain (preferably both). I do not think changing the name is as much of a priority as some people make it out to be. Cryptonite will suffice.

I also was brainstorming earlier, and i think bonsai would be a good name (referring to the pruning that is done to keep the blockchain small), but of course getting domains for this would be impossible.

So what about Saicoin?

I'm thinking a name change would be a good idea. There is a lot of chatter going on about how the Cryptonote guys may be associated with a coin-mill churning out alts to pump-and-dump (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=740112.0). This could be significantly hurting Cryptonite's reputation. If it wasn't for this issue I wouldn't think a name change would be that important.

I like Mini-Blocks (XMB) for a name.

This blog post by an early XMR miner reveals some more information about how the Bytecoin miner was crippled: http://da-data.blogspot.com/2014/08/minting-money-with-monero-and-cpu.html

All you price whiners need to realize something:

No security (cryptocurrency or otherwise) will have significant short-term returns on investment -UNLESS- it is a pump and dump scam. Big rallies just don't happen magically. It will take months and months for real demand to build up. The fact that the price is collapsing is not at all a bad sign at this stage.

XCN has no pump and dump crew screwing around with the price, which is indicative of the developers intentions to make long term innovations rather than make a quick buck. This is one of the key indicators that I look for when deciding to invest in a coin.

Sure, the developers could do some promotion, but imo it's a waste of time and resources. The coin will make it on its own with its technical merits, and promotion right now will not make a difference in the long run.

Geez people, relax about the price. It's low because there are a ton of coins and no one knows about XCN. The only way people can find out about this coin is by word of mouth or wading through the shit hole that is the altcoin announcements forum.

Bittrex is a cess-pit of pump and dump scamcoins. Adding this coin to Bittrex will not make its value suddenly increase.

this coin isn't worth its weight in salt

registration isn't working for me. i keep getting this error: "Your password must be at least 8 characters long and contain an uppercase letter, lowercase letter, and a number" even though i am satisfying those requirements.

this could be a fishing scam.

i'm pretty sure mintpal is in on many of these pump and dump schemes. they have added several coins that were not winners in their voting system, which then were promptly pumped and dumped. i don't think they orchestrate these schemes, but they are likely getting paid a good deal of money for adding all these bullshit "anonymous" coins that come out of nowhere.

i'm holding my XMR position from 0.00230.  really wish i had sold at the most recent top because it looks like it may be a while before new highs. XMR has very good long term prospects, imo. Vericoin looks primed for another exponential rally, but I think it will fade away this year.

i've been trying to figure out how to use the import function to get orderbook data for a while now. would you mind giving me an example?

how did you make this? can you make a bidsum and asksum graph over time? can i see the code?

thanks a lot for sharing this!

it does not make any sense. i'm worried something very bad is going on, but i have no idea what.

dumping because gox is insolvent does you no good, so i don't think that is the cause of this.

(i also think gox is solvent)

has anyone received their withdrawn BTC?

what's going on? bitstamp price feed no working anywhere including bitstamp's price graph on their homepage

bitcoin's price and scarcity does not at all correlate with how many miners there are or what technology they are using to mine. bitcoin was designed so that its money supply would increase at a constant rate. this is done by the mining difficulty adjustment algorithm. when more and more ASICs are mining, the higher the difficulty gets, so ASICs cannot generate any more coins than were being generated before.

my money was finally deposited into my bitstamp account yesterday.  i got an email from someone at bitinstant named Mandrik.  he had to "manually process" my order.

thanks for calling attention to my issue, URSAY.  i don't think i'll ever be using bitinstant again.

i contacted your company via the bitinstant.com/contact form 3 days ago.  i also used the old form the day of my order, 11 days ago.

if you are trying to help me then why don't you actually do something?  once again i feel like i'm just being ignored.  do you not see my posts right above you???  can you not read the order id info that i've posted over and over and also have placed in my signature??  you are depositing money into mtgox for new customers, so you must have funds there, or you are scamming.  WHY WON'T YOU REFUND MY MONEY THAT I GAVE YOU 11 DAYS AGO??

because they've been stalling for over a week.  they probably can't fix the problem, but won't admit it.

i've been waiting 11 days now for a simple mtgox to bitstamp transfer paid with a mtgox coupon code.  they could have just refunded my mtgox coupon code, but didn't.  i've contacted support via the web form, email, telephone(left a message), pm'd Charlie(Yankee), and posted in threads like this one(for example, a reply in this thread on april 12).  i have not even received an acknowledgement that my issue exists--not a single word from support.  i'm literally being ignored on these threads.

see my signature for order information.
