Re: [ANN] BlackCoin (BC/BLK) | PoS | Multipool | Coinkite | Mentioned on WSJ!
I will go forward with donating to several charities of my choice. I am going to let that money be used for something worthwhile, and If you do not like my decision; too fucking bad.
ofc there's no reason anyone will believe that you won't just keep the money.. or write it off on your taxes to get some money back from the government.
I hope you get what's coming to you. Typically what goes around comes around... eventually. So good luck with that.
Re: [ANN][XC][OFFICIAL] >> Mandatory Wallet Update - The first POS ANON
Open source in terms of usage of Bitcoins original block chain. Who says if you develop some new kick ass technology that you have to give it away. that is asinine
I think you misunderstand the concept of what we know as crypto currencies..
Bitcoins didn't just open source for the sake of being a OSC good citizen. The whole concept of bitcoin/any distributed cryptos *relies* on being open source. The concept of crytpos is a distributed , trustless network.
By definition, that requires open source... otherwise it's no longer that. It's something else...
Again, there's nothing wrong with being a centralized currency.. lots of those around...
Re: [ANN][XC][OFFICIAL] >> Mandatory Wallet Update - The first POS ANON
Do you ask Microsoft to look at their code for a new OS before you buy their stock? Did Facebook or Google release their code before they had their IPOs?? NO!!! The Dev owes no one ANYTHING!! invest at your own risk, if you can't deal with that, invest elsewhere. No one is forcing you to invest here. Crying out loud what a bunch of whining babies who feel they are entitled to something.
Microsoft and facebook are not distributed cryptocurrencies...
Like i said, there's nothing wrong with NOT being a cryptocurrency... as you say Facebook has facebook credits, which is a great billion dollar business..
But one of the major tenets of cryptos is open source. That's just a fact, not an opinion.
Re: [ANN][XC][OFFICIAL] >> Mandatory Wallet Update - The first POS ANON
Actually most people are wanting to look at the source to evaluate whether or not this is worth investing in.
There have been many scams in altcoins. So auditing code, is pretty essential, imo.
The fundamentals of distributed cryptocurrency, and trustless actors (including the original devs), is dependent on open source. Otherwise you are basically left with a centralized coin, where you need to trust the dev.
Ultimately, nothing wrong with that.. but it is what it is.

Re: [ANN][XC] >> Mandatory Update to new Wallet - The first POS X11 anonymous wallet
No, mixing is only part of it, XC now contains a completely new transaction protocol layer that is encrypted and will be leveraged as a platform for all sorts of concepts.... and it will leverage multi-path paradigm topology (which again is a custom
This is the part that is confusing me personally wrt to what i looked at on github..
I assume that a transaction protocol layer would have to coded into the core coin code..
That is.. if i built XC src from github directly.. I wouldn't be able to take part in this transaction protocol layer, because there is no code for such a layer in the code on github.
So is the only transaction protocol layer available in the windows binary.. and if so how could that work across all the people that built from src.. (which doesn't have the code).
Yes your correct, it is only in the windows binary current available. Binaries will be available for multiple platforms
The gist of my question is: If this transaction layer protocol is only available in the windows binary.. How can the built-from-source linux client interpret that protocol? It seems like it wouldn't be able to?
Re: [ANN][XC] >> Mandatory Update to new Wallet - The first POS X11 anonymous wallet
I would think that the people throwing thousands of BTC in this have done their own research and reached the conclusion that the dev and the project are legit.
Well.. thousands of BTC were thrown at AsiaCoin as well (peaked Mintpal volume several days).. and look what happened there..
So ..I wouldn't assume anything in this market.Always good to ask the hard questions, imo .. especially if you are invested in something.
Re: [ANN][XC] >> Mandatory Update to new Wallet - The first POS X11 anonymous wallet
It's a centralized mixer at this point. It's good to have a plan, but as we all know all kinds of issues can come up when actually developing and going live with it. And when it's done, someone qualified should surely review the code and architecture.
This certainly makes sense, as an explanation.

Re: [ANN][XC] >> Mandatory Update to new Wallet - The first POS X11 anonymous wallet
I suggest you spend your precious time developing features for AsiaCoin instead of sneaking on other coins' threads attempting to discredit them.
Thanks for your suggestion.
But you are incorrect to assume that i'm trying to discredit anyone. I have nothing to gain from doing so.
I'm just asking questions out of technical interest.
Re: [ANN][XC] >> Mandatory Update to new Wallet - The first POS X11 anonymous wallet
Please read 243 pages 
Doing a random sampling of those 243 pages reveals that it's mostly posts on P&D... not much useful technical information. If I'm missing it please link to the posts.
Otherwise it would be very helpful to have some credible whitepaper published, especially if you are going closed source route... just my opinion.
Ah, mate. It must suck recently being the lead developer of AsiaCoin.
It doesn't suck or not suck.. I'm just asking questions to help the community here.. just like i helped the AC community. take it or leave it.. shrug..
Re: [ANN][XC] >> Mandatory Update to new Wallet - The first POS X11 anonymous wallet
May not answer all your questions, but from what I have gathered, the current implementation is mixer based off a masternode. Revision 2 will utilize decentralized nodes in the sense that any wallet can act as an xnode and will utilize a separate protocal which can be run over TOR. Would be cool if android wallets supported xnode functionality, though just being able to stake will be nice.
Thanks.. so from this q&A it seems the current implementation is basically a centralized mixer server/node implementation. Which makes sense to me.. and how i can see this being closed source.
Basically somewhat like what you can already do with any coin by sending coins to exchanges, and then sending it from exchanges -> another address.
I think decentralization may be quite the challenge to implement... I'll look back if this actually achieves implementation and code posted for it.. that would be interesting to see.
Code:
Anonymity
1. Q) What does 'Xnode' mean? Any details?*
- Xnode is the s/w that runs the anonimizer.
- Xnode talks with client and provides TX details.
2. Q) What is next? Do you have a set schedule?
- Next is to continue development on the decentralized anonymous solution. Current schedule is 3-4 weeks.
3. Q) Why v0.9.1.4x11-coin-1.0 is an anonymous wallet even if the 'Anonymous Transactions' are under development?
- You can use the feature now but is not multi-path paradigm technology that is what is being developed.

Re: [ANN][XC] >> Mandatory Update to new Wallet - The first POS X11 anonymous wallet
How can we validate that anonymity is actually working, and/or is decentralized?
Is there a whitepaper?
Is there a whitepaper?
You can download the wallet and try it. (for now just in console : sendfrommixer ) Use small amount like 0.0002
UI support coming next release.
But how does it work? Is it just sending to some mixer node that is pre-setup to mix coins?
I'm not sure how true anonymity can be built into a coin if it's not in the actual block creation source code... (which obviously has none of that code on github).
Unless it's just sending to some central mixer server somewhere to get a redirection. (which would be a valid way to do it but somewhat less impressive of an implementation ).
Re: [ANN][LIBERTYCOIN][XLB] X11 | 100% POS | No IPO | No Premine | Cryptsy & Mintpal
In my opinion, it will be very difficult, and unlikely to be successful in implementing anonymity into this coin. Even if you contract the work out.. it will definitely cost you more than 7 BTC...
Re: [ANN][QB] Malicious Quarkbar altcoins tracked down and eliminated
fyi i posted about the analysis of the code a few weeks ago.. you can look for the signature in other coins just doing a github search.. unfortunately the thread got lost in the sea of other stuff: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=595056.0
Hmm just found out that Quarkbar did indeed have a premine.. found 20 days after i posted this.
Do your own due diligence people, this is just from a github search with scam code.. you make your own decisions.
