Btw,
are there any mirrors available for the mac os wallets?
The download is broken ...

And how do I start the linux client? It seems to be the compiled binary? But cannot start it, nor can I unpack it.

Btw: Looking at the kH/s of 1gh.com, I am surprised by how much processing power some users seem to have at hand:
http://xcn.1gh.com/

The top three together have 70- 160x the processing power of a good midrange nvidia GPU.
Are they really using 160 computers full time? That must be really expensive ... I wonder if there's a trick to that? As there is quite a large gap to the next fastest users in the list.

Firefox is blocking it as well. Why? Because someone/-thing reported the site. Why that? All speculation. Either the site really tried to run harmful scripts or offered infected software/miner or just some crypto newbs, or perhaps web bots, downloaded the miner, got the usual Trojan warning (from a lot of miner being the payload of trojans for botnet mining) from AV, panic (the newbs, probably not the bots) and reported the site without performing further research into the matter.

Well, now think high end GPU, highly optimized miner, 4x SLI/crossfire and the number of computers isn't that high anymore and there are surprisingly many people in crypto running 10-20 of these even privately as a hobby. Lots of money for a hobby but then a horse or two, high functions or jet propelled rc models or amateur car racing can easily be even more expensive as a hobby without a chance to get some of that money back, not to speak of profit.

me too.

try this  addnode explorer.cryptonite.info add

it is working for me.

Not sure.. pump that may be followed by dump..  I mine this coin and cashed in 2mil in return for 5btc,  the rest I'll hang on to.  Certainly nice to see some trading activity

Assuming it's not abandonware, XCN was (is?) very oversold.

Mini-blockchain is still a very cool idea, even if Nobody Cares at the moment.

And every coin with a unique proof-of-work accrues value every day it continues to exist, as a backup/adjunct to Bitcoin if for no other reason.

Too bad sidechains don't work, or we could bolt Confidential Transactions onto this thing and take it out to Bonneville.

+1

Too bad I sold my XCN below 50 Satoshis some months ago after realising developer is actualy not a coder.  

It doesn't need a coder for a good idea
And once the concept stands, more or less any coder can do the job. So it's good that it's open source. It seems, though, as if nothing's happening there. Understandable given the little popularity of the coin.
Fortunately, it's working - at least under windows. And I trust in it given that it's the only solution so far for bitcoin's lack of scalability (only ~7 transactions sec max) and long-term handleability (block chain size).
Or is there anything else around that solves these problems?

Download wallet blocks lasts more than two day.Yet more than 50,000 blocks. How to speed up the process?

Cryptochainer.com alreadi did that: https://mega.nz/#!nxBjQbrK!PUroY1aeERBcN3JyEn_NIi23SND1kwE8gduOd9PPscw
