Hmm... point broadly accepted, but:
- Dan is not providing Xmixer tech to the Blocknet. That's an XC feature only.
- There are no plans for development of the XBridge to run on XC first. It's not an analogous situation to BTCD.
There is no "internet of blockchains" if one coin has superordinate status over another. This would be like one website having superordinate status over others.
It's great to hear that BTCD's position is temporary BTW.
On the other hand, the SuperNET runs on NXT's blockchain and as far as I know that can't change. This could be a problem.
Yeah, I should have been more clear there. XC is providing Xmixer tech as a fee based service similar to how BTCD is providing Teleport.
Well, Xbridge has to be developed and implemented on some platform first I assume. If your planning on having the official release of Blocknet ready and available on all platforms that would be good too. Not sure if SuperNET will have every implementation ready for whatever release date is set. It's mostly just a matter of limited time, since each implementation requires that particular coin's devs to work with jl777 getting it set up. After BTCD is fully completed though it should move pretty fast through since most of the work will already be done.
A lot of jl777's existing projects have been built around NXT and many of those are being implemented as features into SuperNET. I'm not sure if the network as a whole relies on the NXT blockchain to function, but a lot of the most useful parts of it that involve the decentralised asset exchange certainly do.
Aha. Thanks.
Regarding NXT's blockchain, I've yet to encounter any statements more detailed than "SuperNET runs on the NXT blockchain," so I've just taken that at face value for the time being.
(Incidentally, I've discovered that the best way to be educated about SuperNET is to make statements about it publicly and have people come and correct me. Ha ha. :-)
Speaking of blockchains, to the best of my knowledge the Blocknet will use its own blockchain (not XC's or another coin's) but this will only handle transactions denominated in BLOCK - which is to say, the paying of fees to asset-holders. All other transactions on the Blocknet will be handled by the blockchains of whatever currencies are involved. So when it comes to service-provision, a service will be rendered, and payment for it made, on the blockchains native to the nodes involved. But in addition, Blocknet microfees will be sent off, exchanged for BLOCK, and paid to asset-holders.
Tying all this together is of course the XBridge protocol and the decentralised exchange. As you can see above, the blockchains of participating currencies are not sidelined or made secondary to a master blockchain. I'm not sure that this is that case with SuperNET.
