Re: [XC][XCurrency] Decentralised Trustless Privacy Platform / Encrypted XChat / Pos

I hope everyone is happy with this announcement. We hope that our collaboration will endure long into the Future.

. Did I just witness an XC price hike?

The announcement is definitely another game changer. But personally, I really hope the collaboration with qibuck is not longterm. The more association your coin has with XC, the more you stand to gain, and the more we stand to lose.

I don't see it that way. XC has the tech (Xnode or better known to companies today as cloud service). QBK is just using our tech (client that uses our Xnode/cloud service) to earn revenues that will also benefit XC. XC can sell their tech service to any one....

So as XC coin holders, do we benefit by the added QBK nodes? Do we get interest from them as well?

I would hope that the more "clients" we get to use our XNodes, the more fees we will collect. I am sure Dan and team have all this in their mind.

I would hope so.

Xnodes get paid when they serve content. The remuneration plan may well be: first node to serve the content gets the fee.

Will there be a minimum number of coins needed for this?

I'm not sure, but on the face of it I don't see a need for it. XC will benefit from as many nodes as possible serving content, and from each node serving it as fast as possible. Therefore a reward for serving the content first is, as far as I can tell, what makes sense here.

But I'm not a developer...

So I'm out eating dinner with the kids and I look over and see a Nike advertisement. Why would they want to use this technology or companies like this?

Because your phone could serve uncrashable content to another phone connected to the same base station as yours, thus providing it faster, and with bitcoin-level security, for less cost to Nike.

P.S. Maybe not the same base station. Anyone know about how this sort of stuff would be routed on an HSDPA network?
P.P.S. Yes, "uncrashable" is not really a word. ;-)
