Exciting news from the development team over on Discord, take a look here;

The new Artax Platform will offer the following -;

1. Realtime Asset and Crypto-Currency Exchange allowing for Atomic Swaps. Trade any other lightening network compatible currency with Artax.
2. 0-Day Marketplace. Buying and selling of goods and services.
3. Strip shop functionality (the first of its kind): Virtual shopping integrated with Samsung Gear VR
4. Faster Transaction times - up to 500tx/sec
5. Integrated storage add-ons for portable devices. Portable devices will be able to store data on the blockchain directly using ECP, our proprietary encrypted and de-centralized methodology. This is the by far the most exciting of the features we plan for the beta.[/li][/list]

Artax Masternode holders will also have the capacity to vote on the Platform and create their own tokens, contracts, and sub-currencies.

The more masternodes you have, the more votes you will have. The TOTAL XAX Supply will remain as 20,000,000XAX on the Platform. We expect to reach halfway before the end of the year.

At the end of 2018. There will be only 10,000,000 XAX left to be scratched into existence. XAX will become rarer and rarer. With the difficulty adjustment, this will allow the platform's master XAX currency to be self-sustainable until the year 2150.

The Artax Platform beta will have allowances for De-centralized, Easy-to-use, Encrypted messaging. Encompassing both NIST and AES spectrums. XAX will support both symmetric and a-symmetric block ciphers. The Artaxq algorithm (which everyone can test now in their current XAX Wallets) is capable of using cryptographic keys of 128, 192, and 256 bits to encrypt and decrypt data in blocks of 128 bits. Artax Platform messaging will go one step further and allow for much larger encryption pass-throughs.

A vps will not be required for new scratching system, Masternodes will evolve and the term will no longer be used, you will have the ability to run multiple Artax platform wallets for scratching new XAX.

This sounds very next level, about number 5. does this mean that a portable device lets say a phone can hold and stake MN rewards? and what is a 0-day marketplace, is that a silk road type thing for illegal stuff?
