DRK approach vs XC approachDRKImagine if you will that you had a message and you wanted to send it to a friend. Delivering this message is the highest priority of your life and no other person can find out where this message came from.
The standard method used by most coins would require that there are web servers (see above image), “judges” if you will that will be the point of contact between you and your friend. They may pass the message among themselves and or with other individuals until they finally transmit the message to its destination, which will be your friend.
XC approachThe alternative approach to the crowds method is
the dual path method.
XC has implemented this within its wallet POS feature. This method benefits from the lack of need for a node as each individual is treated independently (see above image). It is fully decentralized and anonymous.If we were to render the same situation of needing to send a message to a friend using this method instead we would get a completely different scenario.
In this case the request is bounced around independent individuals at random intervals until it has reached you. You would then send your message using the same method although in this case it will follow a completely different path. This means that there is no way of actually telling who the requester or the sender was. There are no nodes or “judges” and each individual will only need to decide the next movement. A complete free form of requesting and sending data.
Its approach to a complete anonymous POS wallet that not only is private but at the same time:
its much faster at dealing with network changes, node drops and overall handling of data compared to the crowds approach mentioned above.XC is also encrypted. And the dev is also working on blockchain v 2.0 later on with encrypted messaging, peer to peer exchange. And to the people spreading lies, the developer is here on linkedin and mentions XC on his page:
