Dear XTRABYTES community members,

We wanted to update you on the latest technical developments of the new XTRABYTES ecosystem, an essential step before launching the SWAP.

The ESPDS network is now operational. Its key functionalities of decentralized communication between nodes, which will form the foundation of the new ecosystem, are ready for the SWAP. Some minor corrections will still be required but this crucial milestone is reached.

The slight delay from the initial timeline stems from the extreme technical complexity of a project partially rethinking XTRABYTES network architecture. The in-depth overhaul of existing code and protocols requires meticulous work, as well as fixing unforeseen bugs.

Our goal with this new ecosystem is to bring significant improvements in security, capacity and performance. It was therefore essential to take the necessary time to build robust and scalable technological foundations.

Large-scale testing will be launched, notably through a public demo version of ESPDS. Your feedback will allow us to quickly detect and fix any bugs along the way.

Three additional key developments are being finalized:

Interconnection with existing blockchains
Integration of tokens from external chains into the new private chain
User interface dedicated to the swap

Thanks to this meticulous work, we are laying the soundest and most innovative technological groundwork possible to perform the swap in optimal conditions.

We understand your impatience and thank you for your trust. Rest assured that everyone is fully committed to soon realizing this project, which will place XTRABYTES at the forefront of blockchain technology.

Best regards,
Team XTRABYTES

The XTRABYTES team, with the development headed by Borzalom, is working hard to finalize the new network and allow the launch of the SWAP soon. We are currently very far ahead of the total progress required before we can proceed with the SWAP.

The ESPDS network, which will constitute the main infrastructure, is operational with a first basic version already allowing communication between peers.

This minimum version will be sufficient to carry out the SWAP.  The few remaining steps will continue to be developed in parallel after the launch of the SWAP.

Testing and debugging on the isolated ESPDS network has so far been conclusive. However, additional tests and corrections will be necessary once connected to the ecosystem internet network.

Other essential components of the new ecosystem such as configuration file management, debug logs, unit tests, are and always will be under development in parallel.

The implementation of the XOTS signature and its chain are 100% finalized. The minimum interoperability between the different blockchains of the new ecosystem is estimated at 10-15% progress, sufficiently necessary for the SWAP.

The XPLORER user interface is 100% operational in its minimal version which will be used for the proof of concept, the graphic perfections will follow thereafter.

Moreover, despite the remaining unknowns, we believe we can proceed with the first internal tests of the SWAP as soon as the overall development has reached around 70% progress.

We will keep you informed of the next crucial steps and look forward to unveiling the new XTRABYTES and its very revolutionary ecosystem soon.

We have published various pictures in #general regarding the development. Please let us know if you have any questions!

The new XTRABYTES website has been launched!

You'll notice a swap countdown timer near the top. Once we announce the official swap start, the countdown will start. Start preparing your wallets now!

Tick, tock!

http://www.xtrabytes.dev/

We have prepared the latest bootstraps for both XBY and XFUEL QT wallets:

XBY: https://download.xtrabytes.dev/xtrabytes-bootstrap.zip
XFUEL: https://download.xtrabytes.dev/xfuel-bootstrap.zip

Contents of the zip files should typically be extracted to C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Xtrabytes(or Xfuel folder)

This should help with the syncing of the wallets in preparation for the swap.

Hello @everyone. An important poll for the future of the project is running in the polls channel:

“ *As we are approaching to the Swap, the Community must decide how long (in months) the Swap will last. Please chose one option:
a) three months
b) six months
c) nine months
d) twelve months *”.

The duration of this poll is set to 7 days, so that the Community has the necessary time to discuss in the server..

*please vote on the discord: https://discord.gg/PQbYbwpQXr

⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️
The swap to the new quantum-proof Proof of Signature blockchain is just weeks away. KEEP YOUR COINS SAFE IN YOUR PERSONAL WALLETS!

In preparation for the swap, it is recommended to start the process of pulling your XBY and XFUEL coins from Finexbox now. Finexbox will not support the swap, and the swap must be done manually for each XBY and XFUEL holder. The qt wallets on the GitHub are the best wallets to send your current XBY and XFUEL coins to.

We will continue the trading of the old XBY and XFUEL coins on Finexbox so new supporters can buy in if they’d like, understanding that once they buy, they will have to send their coins out of their Finexbox wallet to swap to the new XBY PoSign chain manually. Finexbox should only be used as an on-and-off ramp currently.

We will stick to one exchange until the swap is complete to avoid confusion and to create an easy swap process. At some point, possibly when the swap ends, the Finexbox listings will get delisted and the trading of the new XBY coin will begin.

The swap starting dates and guide will be announced very soon. A poll will be conducted to determine the allotted time the swap window will be.

So, let us summarize what is happening with Innova. I am sure many people are wondering why the price is going up and up and up. This is why:

1] The block rewards are only .0001 INN per block. If you go to the explorer, you can see virtually no rewards are given https://chainz.cryptoid.info/inn/  This is a big deal. You know when bitcoin does the halving, how the price always increases? This is because bitcoin's rewards are being halved. Well, Innova took a massive shortcut and put their rewards way lower than BTC's rewards. This should cause a SIGNIFICANT price spike in INNOVA once volume for a new market cycle starts (seems to be happening now).

2] The max supply is very low at 18,000,000 INN. But in addition to this, it will take centuries to ever reach this amount because the block reward is at .0001 INN. The actual circulating supply is under 8 million. But, 3.4 million coins of this have been burned, and many coins are locked up (2+ million more?). You can see the burned coins here https://chainz.cryptoid.info/inn/wallet.dws?41.htm . These coins are from cryptopia, as cryptopia did NOT participate in mandatory swap, therefore these coins will forever be burned and will not be able to be dumped because cryptopia cannot return them! The swap was over many times ago.

In conclusion, the INNOVA is a ticking time bomb. I have seen many theories of the price going to $100,000+ per coin. It's possible as much not volume is needed for just a small pump. I would like to see a BTC pairing on a decent exchange. However, PROBIT is good for now. You can trade it here https://www.probit.com/app/exchange/INN-USDT

Maybe by next year we will see $100+ per coin. It would not shock me to see the price move significantly by the end of March (maybe 2 months from now).

Have a nice day. Everyone, take your notes. Something big is coming.

We thank you for your patience. To keep our community up-to-date and informed, we would like to share a quick update.

Borzalom is continuing to work on building the minimum environment required for technology swap *(ETA less than 5 months)*, while another two important components (**XNODE** and **XPLORER**) are close to a partially functional state.

**XNODE** is a universal GUI-less software library interface that provides a standard interface between other software components.

**XPLORER** is a multi-functional and flexible GUI. XCITE, ESPDS, STATIC and XNODE and the other future element will connect users through this unified GUI. Complete and partial functions of any component are available through this GUI, such as XTRABYTES-OTS.

In addition to this information, there are two diagrams attached to this announcement as well. These have been shared to give the community a better understanding of how XTRABYTES ecosystem will function.

**First Diagram:** https://ibb.co/z8KKr90

The first diagram shows the basic dependencies of a software ecosystem (i.e.. how software components depend and connect on each other) and is the main system.

**Second Diagram:** https://ibb.co/mDHW9HX

The second diagram shows the components Borzalom is currently working on (highlighted in red). This is also a development environment independent of the main system.

If there are any questions or the need for more elaborate explanations, please let us know in the Discord.

We would like to announce our Truth Social account. Make sure to follow us!

https://truthsocial.com/@Xtrabytes

I will let you know here just incase you don't have access to Discord.

As of now, XBY coin and XFUEL are essentially the same. Both coins will be swapped 1:1 into the new Proof of Signature chain.

XFUEL used to be used as a payment method to support the old team members. It is no longer used in that way and is now considered equal with the current XBY coin.

Here's an article that shows the importance of XTRABYTES and the XTRABYTES-OTS code:

https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-vs-quantum-computers-us-government-says-post-quantum-world-is-getting-closer-cisa-warns-contemporary-encryption-could-break/

"The problem with the current popular public-key algorithms is that their security relies on various hard mathematical problems. All of these hard mathematical problems could be easily solved by running Shor's algorithm. Current quantum computers lack the processing power to run Shor's algorithm. XTRABYTES-OTS is a new algorithm without mathematical problems, therefore, is uncrackable using the Shor algorithm. We need to prepare for the time, when quantum computing becomes a real threat. By the way, this is not so much about Bitcoin, because as the article says, the algorithm used in it can easily be substituted by XTRABYTES-OTS for example. However, quantum computing will cause many huge problems for the security of services commonly used in Internet digital communication, such as e-mail, messaging services, and web browsing. XTRABYTES will solve this problem by protecting every kind of data transaction that will be linked to our ecosystem. So the email service is insecure in the traditional way but will be secure via the XTRABYTES ecosystem. This is what XTRABYTES will give to the world. Please note that there is a lot of unprofessional nonsense using Bitcoin marketing techniques in the linked article. But it is a good example of why XTRABYTES is needed." - Borzalom @everyone

The technology will speak for itself. We do not need to prove to anyone what XTRABYTES is. Do not continue conversation with the trolls.

Hello @everyone. As said before, our Community has a new Twitter account…It is very important that everyone follows our Twitter account : 
https://twitter.com/XBYOfficial/.

This tweet refers to **Xtrabytes OTS code** that has been published to Github. This is MAJOR news that should be shared with the crypto Community, who considers the XTRABYTES project as dead. It is VERY important to have at least 50 retweets (forwards).
https://twitter.com/XBYOfficial/status/1570174376221237251?s=20&t=_luvsxnyKF1cB2NNLn9CFw

The Community decided to burn all coins that will not be swapped. Thank you all who participated.

It’s good to see CaptainH and The One take to our bitcointalk page. Their anger, jealousy, and foolishness is clearly showing! Please come join the Discord to see the truth for yourself: https://discord.gg/PQbYbwpQXr

Result: The Community decided that the 1:1 ratio should be kept for the upcoming swap, with 66% of votes. Thank you for your participation.

Our next move as we get closer to the swap, is to discuss the coin economics that will be chosen by our community. Here are a two options we have discussed, but let us know if there are any other ideas. When the discussion ends, a critical poll will have place for the Community to decide.

1) Swap coins and burn remaining supply that was not swapped.

2) Mine 650 million coins on the new private chain, by using the STATIC nodes that were setup on the old chain.

Please join the Discord to get involved with the discussion: https://discord.gg/PQbYbwpQXr

Be careful about your lies. There is no where in the Discord that states this is 1 percent of the product. This is a significant part of the code and it is proof that there is technology behind PoSign. Why do you come here, with a fake "Borzolum" name, only to spread more lies? Your name is very telling of your intentions.

Xtrabytes OTS code has been published to Github:

https://github.com/XTRABYTES/XTRABYTES-OTS

"The code enables the understanding of XTRABYTES-OTS logic through code analysis. This is a usable and working solution for creating secret keys, public keys, and signatures for XTRABYTES-OTS and also for signing and validating the messages. This published post-quantum OTS signature method also will test voluntary works. If the community teamwork will powerful and usable in this way then many other XTRABYTES technology bricks will be published similar way. Explanatory parts are missing from the code, these comment parts will have to be added during volunteer work so that even those less experienced in coding can understand the logic of the operations. Detailed documentation containing explanatory images based on the code can also be prepared so that even those who do not know how to program can understand the operation of XTRABYTES-OTS. Related to these documents, high-level professional evaluations and mathematical proofs related to the XTRABYTES-OTS technology can also be prepared." - Borzalom
