The name is indeed catchy. The point is, there are sooo many coins out there, how can XBS stand out? The original remittance and lending platform was a huge idea, but implemented poorly. The platform is gone, what could be a unique usecase?
The multi-stake platform was interesting albeit its fatal flaw was it were centralized.
This is really off the cuff and it would need to be hashed out more and some of the details figured out, but one idea I had was this:
Turning XBS into a sort of crypto-ETF or virtual bank where it unites a basket of currencies.
One problem with POS coins is the lack of people actually staking for various reasons, whether it is pure laziness, the interest is not high enough, etc.
Imagine if you had a multi-stake, multi-coin wallet made up of a handful of crypto's best and most legit POS coins.
The idea is let's pretend I have 1,000 blackcoins, 1,000 peercoins. Heck it doesn't even necessarily have to be staking coins, just crypto's best coins in general.
I deposit these coins in my multi-coin wallet and am encouraged to hold onto them rather than dumping them on the market.
The more of these coins I hold, when it comes time for the network's staked XBS to be paid out, the coins are distributed only among those holding other currencies, more rewards being awarded to those with a higher account value. So it encourages saving of other currencies which helps stabilize THEIR markets and hopefully can give value to XBS.
As for how this makes XBS valuable, I still need to hash that out more. Perhaps the lending feature can be implemented in the wallet where one can lend out other currencies and XBS is used as some form of collateral? Perhaps one can trade staked XBS for a basket of other currencies? Maybe the staked coins from these other POS coins is burned for XBS? still need to figure that out.
Another idea too is not necessarily to bundle even POS currencies, maybe one can bundle POW coins and it encourages people to hold these POW coins and earn staked interest on them through XBS which encourages people to not mine and dump these coins immediately.
Basically though the idea is to give a true value to XBS through the power of other currencies. I'm sure there is a way to do this.
To sum it up, imagine a scenario where you were paid to hold multiple coins in an Electrum-like wallet. The challenge now is figuring how how to make these XBS coins worth being paid in the first place.
