I think I can safely say that XC holds a lot of "promise".

I'm just a bit concerned that this is a brand of margarine.

EDIT:  I should have held my peace perhaps, but I find my own jokes too amusing sometimes.

Is it also normal that the bandwidth is so high?
It eats up my 5mbit upstream.

Yes that should be fine. As long as you aren't solo mining you don't need high speed. Even then you don't need a lot of bandwidth, just low latency.

Please report back how it works. Others may benefit from this as well!

are you using simplewallet?


use a mixin factor > 1

Whoa wonderfull ! you just achieved what a lot of other did !

if needed i opened to public a bitmonerod instance reachable on host: xmr1.coolmining.club and port 5012.

So you can open your wallet like this without the need to run a local bitmonerod instance :

on linux :
 rlwrap ./simplewallet --wallet-filepath/to/wallet/wallet.bin --password '******' --daemon-address xmr1.coolmining.club:5012

on windows should be the same except rlwrap doesnt exist by default on windows.

So no more fastidious downloading of the blockchain for people with little connection, they just need to be able to run simplewallet.

This service is as is, don't complain about security ! and the blockchain file is in ramfs, so you can always try to save_bc

Just wanted to say thanks, this worked for me. Appreciate the help!

Good analogy! 

XMR is the sweet, creamy butter of anon, made by happy organic cows.  XC is Promise margarine, a brand of fake butter.  And Cloak is Country Crock, full of nasty hydrogenated stuff.  Like all cheap imitations, they're best avoided.

Speaking of marketing, who else thinks looking into this might be a good idea (to reach the normal people who find this forum gives them hives)?

It's probably much less expensive than a Monero booth at TC Disrupt!
