TEXITcoin Community Update
📉 A Holiday Reality Check: Addressing the TEXITcoin Community's Concerns
In a special holiday address on December 22nd, 2025, TEXITcoin founder Bobby Gray hosted a marathon call to tackle the community's growing anxiety head-on. Acknowledging the recent price drop and the palpable frustration, Gray delivered what he called a "big dose of reality and responsibility," aiming to set the record straight and unveil a crucial new strategy to ensure the project's long-term health and success into 2026 and beyond.
The Core Message: Despite the market turmoil, Gray's confidence remains unshaken. The project's fundamentals, he argues, are stronger than ever. The current challenges are not a sign of failure, but a necessary catalyst for evolution.
✅ The Original Promises: A Foundational Reminder
Gray began by taking the community back to basics, reminding everyone of the foundational principles and promises made from day one. He stressed that this was never a 'get-rich-quick' scheme but a long-term gamble: build a 100 million megahash mine, and a billion-dollar coin will follow.
What Was Promised:
- ✅ Build the Mine: "We've purchased now more than all the mining power that we've sold. And we can prove it."
- ✅ Pay Commissions: Nearly $60 million in commissions have been paid out on time, changing lives across the community.
- ✅ Promote the Coin: From sponsoring major events to airport ads, significant capital has been deployed for marketing.
What Was NEVER Promised:
- ❌ Guaranteed Liquidity
- ❌ A Real-World Asset Backing
- ❌ A Stable Coin
This clarification was a crucial reset, framing the subsequent announcements within the context of the original mission, not short-term price expectations.
🚨 THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: The 'Active Miner' Rule to Ensure Sustainability
The centerpiece of the update was a significant change to the compensation plan, designed to address a growing threat to the project's financial health: commission bloat.
The Problem: An Unhealthy Comp Plan
Gray revealed a critical metric he watches relentlessly: the commission-to-revenue percentage. This figure had dangerously climbed from a healthy 50-56% range all the way up to 64%. This meant a disproportionate amount of revenue was being paid out in commissions, much of it to early participants who were no longer actively contributing to the project's growth. "We can't bleed out," Gray stated bluntly. "It's not going to happen."
The Solution: Differentiating Active Builders from Passive Miners
To protect the integrity of the program that has fueled TEXITcoin's growth, a new 'Active' status is being implemented.
📜 The New 'Active Miner' Requirement
- What is it? To maintain 'Active' status and be eligible for commissions, a miner must personally sponsor at least one new miner within a rolling three-month period.
- When does it start? The first check will occur with the January 10th, 2026 commission run, looking back at activity since October 9th, 2025.
- What's the impact of being 'Inactive'? The commission algorithm will simply bypass you. IMPORTANT: This has ZERO impact on your existing mining power or the coins you generate. You keep all hash power you've accumulated.
- The Projected Result: Modeling showed this change would have immediately dropped the commission payout for a recent week from 64% down to a much healthier 53%, preserving crucial capital for mine expansion and operations.
This move aims to reward those who are actively building the community while respecting the contribution of passive miners, who retain their core mining benefits.
⚙️ The Path Forward: Utility, Not Just Price Charts
With the price no longer serving as an easy sales pitch, Gray emphasized a return to the core mission and the development of real-world utility.
Back to Basics: The Mission-Driven Pitch
The new (or rather, original) pitch is about the vision: creating a fair and honest currency. It's an invitation to join a mission, not just chase a rising chart. Gray himself plans to lead this charge, even taking the TEXITcoin story on the road in a wrapped RV if necessary. The focus is on what the project is *building*, highlighted by the recent 6-7x increase in hash power as new mining containers in Conroe came online.
Phase 2: The Power of Downtown Digital Dollars (DDD) 💵
The long-term value driver, according to Gray, isn't just the mine, but the Layer 2 utility. He explained how it will create sustained, organic buying pressure for TXC:
- Users in a community (like a fair, festival, or downtown area) will load up a wallet with stable-value 'Downtown Digital Dollars' (DDD) to spend with local merchants.
- Each time a user loads their wallet with DDD, they are charged a small 1% fee.
- This fee is automatically used to purchase TXC from the open market to pay for the network transaction fees.
- This purchased TXC is held in the background of the user's app and is never sold back onto the market.
This creates a powerful economic engine: as the utility grows, millions of micro-transactions will constantly purchase TXC from the market, effectively reducing the circulating supply and driving up demand based on real-world use, not speculation.
🗣️ Q&A Highlights: Your Top Questions Answered
Is losing my 'grandfathered' status unfair?
Gray acknowledged the frustration but framed it as a necessary choice between making a difficult retroactive change and letting the entire project's compensation plan collapse. The survival of the mission comes first.
Why isn't liquidity being used to support the price?
About $15 million was already deployed to defend the price, but Gray refuses to burn through all reserves to fight a market he believes is being driven down by scammed/hacked coins being sold. He'd rather let the price fall and allow legitimate community members (especially victims of scams) to buy back in at a lower price.
How do you justify lavish spending (jets, cars) when the price is down?
Gray was firm that this spending comes from his personal profits *after* all project obligations—building the mine, paying commissions, and marketing—are met. His financial future, with over 2 million TXC, is directly tied to the project's success, aligning his interests with the community's.
🚀 Conclusion: A Tough Plan for a Brighter 2026
The special holiday update was a clear message: TEXITcoin is evolving. The days of easy growth fueled by a rising price chart are on pause. The focus is now on building a sustainable, resilient project through active community participation and powerful real-world utility. The 'Active Miner' rule is a tough but necessary step to ensure the engine of growth doesn't sputter out. For the 50,000+ miners, the call to action is clear: stay the course, understand the mission, and for those who wish to build, the time to get active is now. 2026 is shaping up to be the year where TEXITcoin proves its true utility and resilience.
