Dear Community,

We are very excited to announce that the network upgrade at block 232000 was successful and Sigma has been fully activated. This upgrade officially makes NIX the first network to implement Sigma on mainnet. NIX’s Sigma integration introduces a new level of privacy for the NIX network and introduces its own custom implementation among the many privacy oriented projects with reused technology.

This upgrade also includes the final version of our custom, built from scratch, Off-Chain Governance implementation.

Sigma
Sigma brings both scalability and enhanced privacy to NIX and its has been successfully activated at block 232000.

Sigma allows us to significantly scale our privacy transactions by decreasing the on-chain size by 94%, as well as remove the trusted set-up previously needed with Zerocoin. This makes privacy on NIX much more scalable while even increasing the anonymity set NIX has to offer. With the trust-less setup, high anonymity set, and scalability sigma bring to NIX, the privacy utility on chain is now extremely competitive when compared to top projects such as Monero.

Privatized funds made prior to this update can now be redeemed using the command “unghostamount” followed by the amount in the debug console. If unsure of your previous account balance, “getwalletinfo” will return your legacy ghost balance.


Off-Chain Governance
In a first ever blockchain governance solution, the entire NIX community can now make proposals on network changes/enhancements/additions to be voted on by both node owners and stakers on the NIX network; completely off-chain without bloating the NIX blockchain. There are already great proposals made, and more coming in daily. The future of NIX is strong when the community backing and supporting the project can also decide on where to move the project forward.

observes the topic from the beginning, I see that you are shifting FUD, go to another topic, you do not have a coin, you do not follow the project and you say, you are hurt by the success of NIX? They should ban you in this topic, your goal is to make a price and fill your bags, people remember you and you will not get dressed. goodbye

there is nothing to worry about, NIX is a young project with a solid and well-known band, the potential of the coin is just at the beginning, we are waiting for a lot of great things

@torrmara: Do you have plans to support Blocknet and talk about what happened to them with Binance? This story could be also a very good marketing opportunity for Blocknet and NIX to explain people what are the characteristics of a true DEX, etc.

From what I see here and on the official Discord the tech progress is going quite well. With the correct marketing campaign behind it I think that NIX can really go further than many thought. That being said, what I think is missing is NIX being listed on a major exchange. IDAX is not that popular worldwide, I think it would be a major step forward if NIX appeared on Binance or Bitfinex.

NIX Discord. Jackieboy was talking about it.

The NIX team seems having plans for a new dApp: Private data/document storage.

The focus seems not to be the storage of encrypted data since that is already easily with centralized systems. If I understood right it's about storing data without that the person who uploaded it is traceable.

Is that correct?

This is awesome! now we can secure our Ghostnode even more.

Technology is great, the price is very low, people want to fill the bags, nix will be among such projects as monero and dash, soon the price will go to the moon, it is the beginning

NIX rises and this thread is dead.
