Guys there is a major updated headed your way. It includes the following updates to bring more value to xde2:
Implementation of POSP.
POSP explained:
Proof-of-Stake currently works to protect the network when owners ‘stake’ their XDE2 at a given time – a service for which they are compensated with an interest payment on their staked coins.
The current implementation operates based on the consumption of coin age and dictates that minted XDE2 be awarded as an interest payment on XDE2 staked at minimum intervals of 1 day to earn a 500% annual interest up to a maximum of 28 days to earn at 500% annual interest. Once this interest payment is awarded, the accumulated coin age is destroyed and the staked XDE2 starts to accumulate age again until it reaches the 1-28 day threshold to become eligible to earn it’s next stake. This reward structure encourages owners of XDE2 to hold their funds offline to accumulate the necessary amount of coin age for periodic staking to only then be returned off-line for the process to repeat. Periodic staking does not secure the network to its maximum potential, yet by design, this is exactly what is encouraged and rewarded. Please note that XDE2 is not the only PoS implementation that rewards for counterproductive behavior – this is the norm for PoS implementations across a vast majority of coins.
Our proposed solution to the periodic staking concern is the implementation of Proof-of-Stake-Participation (PoSP). In this version of Proof-of-Stake, coin age is removed thereby negating the incentive for keeping XDE2 offline where it does not protect the network. Additionally beneficial is the removal of a weakness for attack on the network via an accumulation of coin age. To gain control of the network, a nefarious party would need to own over 50% of XDE2 in circulation rather than having the opportunity to cheat the system by using the ‘age’ multiplier.
For example, with coin age (number of coins * days coins held) 100 coins held for 28 days becomes the equivalent of 2800 coins (100 x 50). With the removal of coin age and its multiplying effect, 100 coins will always equal 100 coins so the would-be attacker is forced into a position of truly purchasing the majority share of existing XDE2 making the attack self-destructive, illogical and valueless.
POW will be re-enabled:
Pow re-enabled with small reward of .0001 to keep chain moving and for those of you that want to earn extra xde2. This will then be a hybrid coin with both POW and POSP. These two changes with secure the chain, and will keep the chain always moving, better than ever.
A complete overhaul of ALL the graphics, and icons.
Think XDE2 looked good before?
Wait till you see this!!
So, we are about 1 week out from releasing this update. But it will be exciting changes that will make XDE2 even better . When I started Xde2 6 months ago, I stated that this is a long term project, and that I would continue to work on it, and improve on it on a regular basis, and I have done just that. Thank you to those that have trusted me.
