Hi all
I'd like to confirm the news just posted here.
The XC and Qibuck devs are partnering to develop a feature that'll allow nodes to earn money.
A few details:
- We will make an official announcement about this on Friday.
- It's a particularly exciting feature that I'm not sure anyone else has thought of yet.
- The reason for the partnership is that by sharing resources we reduce both development time and costs, and in this case we will not disadvantage XC's market position in any way (more info as to why will follow).
- Silverkinguk (Samuel) is part of the XC team and so if he announces something it can be trusted.
- This is not the undisclosed PR-related development that I mentioned yesterday.
P.S. I've been aware of this development, but was not aware that it would be announced now. My apologies for the confusion.
Guys, can we focus on this.. Great news re nodes, i think this is a feature that will be key going forward and will help to bed in the idea of staking and holding coins for income and staying with "the project"
Also the way I see the team is that Dan is the head in terms of technical expertise / leadership / direction...
Synechsist is the expert mouthpiece...
This is a new team though... And they will not be yet in the "perform" stage... You have to go through a bit of bedding in before you hit top gear... I trust Synechist to be laying down the rules, and I am sure that given time we won't see "leaks".... Remember a lot of these guys are working for the love and belief of the coin and not anything cold and hard so we should cut them some slack.
I would take XC's up front and transparent delivery any day over the other crocks of poo that overflow these forums..
Sounds like Friday could be very interesting indeed to me..
