Is the dev team behind this project publically known (with their real world ids)?
Is there a whitepaper or some other more specific documentation about the technology that is part of this?
Dan Metcalf and I have made our identities
public.
There's no whitepaper, but there is Dan's (and XC's) reputation of
delivering the goods, on schedule, since its inception.
How is the XC project related to this one?
And what base technology / code you want to use? Do you fork some other project or will it be entirely new code? If it is new code what security algo do you use (pow, pos) how does it differ from others?
The Blocknet will be largely new code, since it's for a rather different purpose to what XC is for.
However at present the plan is to adapt XC's Xnode protocol (end-to-end encrypted P2P protocol) for the XBridge. It'll be used in conjunction with Telehash in a hybrid DHT-mesh architecture - and it will be completely serverless.
The interim wallet is PoS. I'm currently unaware of how often the final tech will actually need its own blockchain, since the idea is to network nodes of different blockchains together. These chains are a resource and it makes no sense to either duplicate them in the Blocknet's own chain, or to use a new chain when the old ones may suffice. However if it needs its own chain for anything, it'll almost certainly be a PoS chain.
Thanks for your answer so far.
You have used a lot of terms that are unknown to me: Xnode protocol, XBridge, Telehash, hybrid DHT-mesh architecture, interim wallet.
If I would want to invest I would need two things:
1) A document that explains
a) what specific / consumer oriented end-product you want to achieve
b) how you want to achieve it technically: Explained as detailed but at the same time as easily as possible (NO hiding behind fancy words)
2) A presentation of the whole team where all relevant team members are publically known.
Do you have such documents yet? Have the marketing material / and marketing terms been prepared before the technology / concept has been prepared?
