Yea dude, lets fork from a decentralised system to a centralised system, whoop de doooo.
You're very confused. Do you understand what centralized and decentralized means?
Yes. So please explain in detail how the DRK system doesn't use master nodes, a semi-centralised authority.
No. Please explain in detail how the XC system doesn't use xnodes, a semi-centralised authority.
Xnodes don't require 17 BTC to run
Only reason why xnode doesn't require 17 BTC is because xc is worthless. If it 10x or 100x in value then it's gonna be just as "expensive".
The code is also out in the open, unlike DRK. How much less decentralised can you get than closed source?
You keep posting here about XCs latest source not being available yet but when has DRKs?
Contradicting yourself much? Xnode source is not out in the open.
they don't require a setup on a separate server with their own security to operate safely.
XC requires dedicated nodes to operate at all. Would you rather run your distributed app on hundreds or even thousands of dedicated servers with gigabit connections or on average Joes' laptops running on wi-fi connections? Btw, drk's masternode payments solve the problem that is very real even in bitcoin, which is that not many people are willing to run nodes because there is no incentive.
And why do you think Evan hasn't released the DRK source?
Because otherwise we'd have tens of drk clones by now copy-pasted by clueless devs and people losing their monies in them.
Closed source = decentralised.
So xc is decentralised by your definition then.
Enjoy.
You're welcome.
Wow. Are you guys that much shills you ignore what's right infront of you?
https://github.com/atcsecure/X11COINXNode system code. Yes, it isn't the latest, but at least it's the base code.
Anyways, The reason DRKs code isn't available at all is the same reason it took him an entire month to fix a bug he called 'simple'
He's out of his depth and scared. And of course he should be scared of clones, other teams would do a better job at creating a clone than he will creating the original. XC already has its clones and they are miles behind. It's the advantage of having a qualified Dev, it doesn't matter who else has your code aslong as your a better coder. With Evan there are a hundred better coders in the altcoin space. With dan I'm struggling to think of even one
And nope, comparing market caps, XC nodes cost ten time less.
And of course you wouldn't want them run on a small ammount of professionally run servers, you want to spread the load as much as possible to stop a small amount of nodes cracking the paths.
You can keep thinking these limiting factors are advantages but they are not. They are characteristics of a seriously outdated system.
Enjoy again.
