BTW XC was bashed a bit in the DRK thread:

Would be great to eventually brand and name it something that promotes these aspects of its use.  I love Tor and its capabilities, just hate the word Tor as it has been smeared in the mainstream. But makes sense to call it DarkTor in the present stages as it easily explains what it is.

Could call it DarkMesh or something similar so its not "Tor"

Don't call it Dark or Tor, or any combination.

Call it Web 3.0.

Average Joe and Jane will simply think there is a new internet being created. One where you are not tracked to death by those wanting to sell you something based on what you have been browsing recently or what you were just discussing on Facebook or Twitter.

If you give it a generic label resembling something people already trust, you beat the name association game of, Tor = bad, Dark = bad, DarkTor = very fucking bad.

Bitcoin has had to fight a similar problem. Its taking years and years to shake off the negative images that the media were able to cast on it.

Web 3.0 has a ready made narrative: we are pissed off with all the shit ads being targeted at us by internet giants needing to show quarter by quarter revenue growth.

We think the internet is free, but its not. We pay by allowing others access to our identities, and we don't even ask them to pay for it.

If you maintain this status, you will lose your identity because you can become a media campaign and herded to buy things at given times of they day, week, month or year.

Stop being sheep. Pay up $0.10 in DRK to use Web 3.0.

I don't mind that they copy me, I mind that they don't have any ideas of their own

Apparently this guy invented DRK.. Here i thought Evan was the lead dev.
I get back from a trip and noticed the above...Web 3.0 has been on our roadmap since June, who's copying who?

DRK and XC Communities,

The toxic back and forth between our two communities has reached a level with which neither of us are comfortable or impressed.  The competitive space for our coins lies in the results, and the results will speak for themselves as they are brought online.  Whatever mistakes or provocations were undertaken by either side are in the past, and we would like them to remain there.  We are all interested in one thing: the advancement of anonymous cryptocurrency.   Let go of the tribalism and start thinking of how you can positively contribute to that end.

Evan and Dan

I would like to remind you of this

I was going to post in the XC thread that the term web 3.0 was mentioned here a few weeks ago, but I didn't want to waste my time on a self-moderated thread.

It's more than a little suspect that something gets posted here and a few weeks later something sounding remarkably similar finds its way into the press.

So, yeah - remind away.

BTW.

Didn't take you long  Roll Eyes
No worries... I was just going trough my watchlist and saw the somewhat disturbing hostile replies of your post
so I just looked up what Evan and Dan posted end of june and reposted it.

about the web 3.0...
I've looked up that it is revealed practically on the same day...
I must agree on august 19 darkweb was announced as being web 3.0.
But at the same time, on XC -thread, there was a partnership announced with qibuck and the details of that partnership would be announced on friday. So that friday, august 22, xc announced its web 3.0 (and what the partnership would mean)

here is the link with the announcement.

Search the XC forum... WEB 3.0 was announced and has been part of the road map since June...  So who's copying who?

Wow, just got home from the monthly bitcoin meetup I host, dropped xcurrency info of course.

Our meetup began at a Starbuck's and grew larger so I let the guys choose our new spot, they chose Twin Peaks. If ya'll ain't familiar with the restaurant, its kinda like a redneck Hooters, but with hotter chicks. I just learned the quickest way for a hot chick to piss off a bunch of cryptogeeks, ask them for their id's. Seriously, Twin Peaks now requests every drinking patrons id, takes them to the back of the restaurant, and scans them into their computers to verify whether they are valid or not. You can be certain that was met with intense opposition.

As you can assume, the manager (who was also hot) shot us the stink eye for two hours, and the group now wants to find a new location to meet. Can't say my wife is unhappy about that tho. LOL

We need our PRIVACY sooner than later, shit's outta control. Wink

No doubt, I saw this on 60 minutes last night...

The TOR stick is a USB Drive with the XC logo for those who want an official TOR STICk... However, you can download the ISO onto your own generic USB drive and they both function the same.

hey Everyone, First off I want to offer sincere apologies to anyone who had to endure this back and forth rant between QBK supporters and XC supporters - including me. I have a big mouth and question authority a lot. This may be my russian accent speaking Smiley  But I can't just sit idle while I see my investment choice making some wrong decisions.


You made your first post in here on Aug. 10.  You said you made a 12 XC purchase, but that is all you could do.  Some nice folks in the XC community even donated coins to you.  I want to point out to other readers that you are not indicative of the XC community and reading through your post verified this point.

I am looking forward to Fridays announcement on this  collaboration, and I believe other long term investors see the merit in the potential joint work on the wallet enhancements.

I just got on to check out today's activity and can't believe the last two pages.  Somehow, every now and then, we turn a positive into a negative.  I think it is positive that we may have a feature in our wallet that generates revenue... Right... If we can get it faster or sooner with a small collaboration, then  why not.   THis coin has great tech and a good team, so trust it.  Now I agree, the announcement could have been handled better, but it was clarified very quickly.   A few then had to go into the mud, but all in all, this will be good news for XC and we just keep chipping away with good progress...

If EVERY node has to sign(meaning multiple signers)  it is multi-sig.  It is a trustless version, unlike supers where coins can be stolen.

lol - every node on the network? You understand that multi-sig is just an extension of pay-to-script-hash, right? When you understand P2SH we can talk.

Every node the transaction is using to process, not every node on the entire network.

BTW, this is Gavin Andersen's example on the multisig in Bitcoin. Supercoin/mammothcoin implemented exactly the multisig technology, same is done at OpenBazaar.

https://gist.github.com/gavinandresen/3966071

XC devs please learn and hope you will have a real multisig system implemented, not just a name. Cool


Funny... do you still use AOL for your email as well.  You are using bitcoin technology and open bazaar's rationale, both without anon....  therefore nodes can be more trusted, but they have to be trusted.  XC offers trustless mixing where every node signs off and can't steal coins, if it doesn't sign, it resyncs and sends the transaction to another set.   Highly likely most transactions will be very quick, but if there is an attempt to be a bad actor they are inhibited from gaining access to the coins.   Your old technology multi sig allows bad actors/nodes to steal coins.  THis has been know for a long time, with coins before yours that you stole to write your code.   In fact you deleted a 500 post thread because it primarily discussed the inadequacies of this design.


ok since you attempted so many times, let me answer you: multisig tech is not anon, it can be used for anon system like what Supercoin/Mammothcoin did. There's no "old" multisig, there's only one, implemnted by Bitcoin and used by many.

You try to use regular tx and with some software side controls, this is completely different things. It is not multisig, it is whatever your private tech. Don't call it multisig because it is not. No wonder why Xc people never saw a XC multisig address starting with "4".

Please don't post garbage here. I think everything is very clear. If you have other facts as I asked, please post, otherwise don't waste our time.

How can you leave a post like this up and remove other ones. I had about 10 posts deleted so far, its clear that they are trying to paint a picture that is skewed in their favor and making it seems like we cannot come up with a legitimate response even though we have multiple times. Utterly pathetic, I wish the worst for Supercoin and its future.

This was removed as well:

I have the real proof atcsecure xc dev posted on mammothcoin thread and he said this is as multisig address!

http://chainz.cryptoid.info/xc/tx.dws?229177.htm (This is atcsecure's (XC dev) multisig wallet   Grin Grin  lol see how he tries to cheat without fear)

see how he tries




He as big dev saying first he does not need whitepaper at all, second advising poor mammoth dev to check multisig...

This the amazing technology how to cheat people.

But he is stupid enough to post non multisig address at the same time. http://chainz.cryptoid.info/xc/tx.dws?229177.htm
This is not possible without using multisig to build decentralization unless alliens (or hype) builds new technology. See video speaks about.

XC facts
FACT 1 XC dev is proven to be lier!
FACT 2 XC dev cheated people on website about XC technology.
FACT 3 XC dev tried to fud with army of fudster on mammothcoin.
FACT 4 XC dev selling something else with different package.


To learn more about REAL multisig technology Watch the video

OpenBazaar's Sam Patterson Talks Ecommerce, Decentralization, Multisig & More | Coin Brief Interview


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oK85PCee3pU



Openbaazar is not anonymous, you know who the seller and buyer are, as well as the other parties, this will help in bad actors.  You  add anonymity into the equation and bad nodes will steal coins.  Good luck with you old tech...

Man, I head out to enjoy my weekend and come back to this mess?

Again, you guys need to work on your civility.

Now, let's play join-the-dots:

1) I posted the following a little earlier:

Can anyone show me XC's multisig addresses and their associated transactions?
Would these satisfy your curiosity?
- http://chainz.cryptoid.info/xc/block.dws?62014.htm
- http://chainz.cryptoid.info/xc/tx.dws?229177.htm

You're an arse for fudding instead of just downloading the wallet and trying out Privacy Mode.

Quote
m-of-m multisig? Are you drunk? What fun will you have to have m-of-m multisig?? If one guy is bad then you want the wallet is locked forever?

So, your reasoning process:
- timerland doesn't understand the point of m-of-m multisig.

- timerland doesn't bother to ask people from XC what m-of-m is used for.

- timerland simply concludes, with the foolhardiness of a drunk pullet, that the truth is not that he lacks understanding but that XC is a scam.


You're not very civil are you?

Just come and ask us questions next time instead of creating a fruitless and irritating FUD thread.

If you have further questions, you're welcome to ask, nicely.




2) ATCSECURE, XC's core dev, posted the following not too long ago:

They are mixing apples and oranges, XC is trustless based on the signatures of all parties during the private transaction.  Its not using MULTI_SIG N OF M Address's.

The transactions are SIGNED BY ALL PARTIES, if any of the outputs are missing, then it is not signed by all parties.

Here is an example of a private decentralized distributed multi-path transaction consisting of 4 parties. >>> http://chainz.cryptoid.info/xc/tx.dws?229236.htm



3) Supplementary information:

- XC's multipath technology, used for obfuscating the amount sent in a transaction and the identity of sender and receiver, makes use of m-of-m transactions in order to achieve trustless mixing.

- Trustless mixing is a world-first. Nobody's ever done it before. Hence my prior request that you ask questions before coming to conclusions.

- m-of-m requires that all parties sign or else the transaction is invalidated.

- As such, m-of-m prevents bad nodes stealing coins instead of forwarding them.

- if a transaction is invalidated, the participating nodes resync the session-based network they form for the transaction in question, and proceed.


4) Conclusion:

- You might've guessed this before - though your intentions evidently have barricaded you from this surprisingly obvious conclusion - but XC DOES NOT USE MULTI_SIG M-OF-N.

- So you're looking for something that I've already stated (see above post) that XC does not use. All this talk of addresses beginning with a 4, condescending offers to explain multisig, etc. refer to the wrong thing.

- I refer you to the latter half of my previous post: timerland needs to ask questions before coming to conclusions about a technology he doesn't understand.

- If you don't get the point of m-of-m transactions, then stop talking and listen. Idiots.

- You can start listening this weekend. ATCSECURE releases a whitepaper explaining how all this works.


And if you speak again, kindly be civil, for heaven's sake.




people already showed you what you posted do not have a single multisig address. What your links for??

we ask some simple info and you provided something complete different. Please answer the simple question, and don't post ton of unrelated info to confuse people.

moreover, now I see you changed m-of-m multisig to n-of-m multisig, lol, learned something new? can you show me how you plan to use m-of-m multisig? You apparently have no knowledge on what is a multisig at all!

If you like, we can  rehash how n-of-m multisig can have bad actors/nodes and steal coins.  XC solves this issue.  I believe you started a whole new thread after 500 pages because of the talk of this issue.   Do you want to play... are you sure?

For those who are still "confused", let me repeat again:

XC claimed to have implemented multisig. If this is true, then it is trivial to provide some multisig addresses with multisig tx associated with them, that we can see and inspect in the blockchain.

Saying implemented multisig but unable to provide even one multisig address? That dev provided some links deemed to be multisig transactions, but we don't even see one single multisig address there. He keep talking m-of-m (a joke for those who know what is multisig for), and provided regular addresses as multisig addresses, do you think he knows anything about multisig?

Some community members just show what a true XC multisig address look like. Now if you continue claim XC has it, show everyone the address and tx in the blockchain. Nothing is simpler, and let's not waste our (and everyone's) time by arguing. There's nothing to argue here, just show the facts! Experts know what you are talking about.

And like stated before: Why do you want us to provide this information? You can do it all yourself it seems..

Instead of coming to our Community and build some trust to get us explaining you things you make a thread with stupid claims that don't hold any grounds.

Sushi, it's not worth it.  XC is a community that tries to be respectful to other coins and not FUD.   We are mostly a very mature community.  Obviously these folks are not mature and must be quite young.   I don't think they are doing any favors for Supercoin.  Real money doesn't want join a coin that has this type of people in their forum.

that's exactly the questions I asked in their thread, glad you posted a thread to discuss it. thanks.

I have this question myself for some time, I saw your message in their thread. It's better have a separate thread to discuss it.

I would suggest you look at XC's Dev, Dan Metcalf's resume, and see that he is quite capable of what he says.   Also, you will have a nice shot at a very nice bounty very soon with the 3.0 release and a look at the whitepaper coming out soon.   

Resume does not mean anything, do you know satoshi's resume? People put all bullshits in their resumes. If the XC truly supports multisig, just show a multisig address as greenclover asked. Very simple.

If you ask me whether Mammothcoin / supercoin's supersend really support multisig or not, I can show you their multisig address/tx in 10 secs, very easy. So don't talk garbage here, show the facts.



 Facts provided, and resumes do mean something when previous work is factually documented and anonymity of an alt coin developer does spell trouble.  Oh, also, sweet profile pic.  You can come join the XC community, it's not too late.

How can you have a ceo of a currency?

He does bring up a good point. It may hurt xcurrency if people are confused about whether or not it is a decentralized currency or a company.

Think bigger... The only way a coin is going to get beside bitcoin is to have mass adoption.  You can bring the masses with chat,voice and video that is annonymous and secure.  Think a better snapchat,instagram, skype... a better user friendly platform will bring folks and lots of nodes.    They then will also be introduced to Xcurrency for payment of goods and services.  This is why I invest in Xcurrency as a traditional non-crypto/tech investor.  

I'm with you here, believe me. What I'm saying is that it can be confusing to new investors. I speak to bitcoiners weekly about xc, they go do research and come back to me confused, I'm sure I'm not the only xc proponent who has encountered this situation. They don't know if they are about to invest in a company, a currency, or a company with its own currency.

I think the post I quoted makes it clear that this can be confusing.


They are investing in both a currency with additional software/features.  This will make the currency more valuable and eventually help with the velocity of money make it  a true currency.   Many other coins are going with the black/dark markets which is indicative of their names.   Xcurrency is getting interest by ideas that will be benign to other traditional investors, users and companies.  This coin has a chance at mass adoption due to its team and approach.  I have brought others on board by really understanding the overall plan and presenting it an "elevator speech" to get their attention.    I have read your post and you are a great supporter of the community.  I challenge you to think bigger and be excited when you tell these folks how we are different.  This is the exciting times that we can share 2-3 years from now when we look back at this growing platform.
