I am fascinated by the X-cash project, however I have noticed that the blockchain is already occupying over 4 Gb of space on my computer in this very early stage stage of the coin. Why is it so "heavy"? If it is so heavy already now, how will the growing size be sustainable on the long run?

Indeed, because of the 300kb block size and the airdrop distribution, the blockchain size rose up quickly. This is something we were aware of at the beginning.
But when we switch to bulletproof transactions in late October the size increase will reduce greatly.
Hope i was able to answer your question.

Yes. But I already have another one. Will in the future the existing blockchain be reduced in size somehow too? By October it will have grown even more and to carry around such a huge bundle of Gibabytes FOREVER would be quite a burden.

the blockchain cant be reduced, but it can be reduced in terms of growth
the bulletproofs coming out in late october early novemeber will reduce this
because of the private tx were implementing we have to increase the ringsize.

my testing shows so far that were looking at worst case (meaning the most ringsize increase) the size of growth is reduced 3x
best case were looking at 5-6X reduced growth

Huh, I was doing some digging around, and it turns out the entire XCash team is public, and has their profiles on LinkedIn. It's a spiffy team! Hope the devs don't mind me posting it below - I think it's really cool that it's easily findable:

Thanks for posting! Yes were trying to be as transparent as possible

will x-cash try and merge with a mobile pay app like maybe pundi-x as it really needs a mobile pay terminal to evolve and maybe partnering with one of these would help massively.

what do you all think

the whitepaper explains were making a mobile wallet and were building our own payment gateway that is on blockchain and does not make the user wait for confirmations
we have no plans as of now to merge with an existing one
