Distributed Trust coin

XDT - a novel cryptocurrency without miners or blocks and with a unique security mechanism. In XDT the risk of a double-spend is reduced by transferring coins via one or more random intermediate addresses of the network. As the probability of being selected to participate as an intermediary is proportional to the balance of the address, on average the most wealthy addresses bear the largest risk of double-spending but also stand to gain the most rewards from transaction fees.


Crowdsale halted due to problem identified with the XDT protocol

All XDT coins will be distributed to participants proportional to their contribution. There is no pre-sale, no pre-mine, no airdrops, etc. and no coins reserved for the XDT team. The total supply is planned to be 2^46 indivisible coins, and since there is no mining either, additional coins will never be created.
