New Coins on the Block – XTRABYTES (XBY)

XTRABYTES is a crypto currency that uses a new consensus mechanism to create a decentralized, scalable network. In addition, it should be able to resist attacks from quantum computers by using SHA-512 encryption. However, the past of the project leaves some critical questions unanswered.

As written some time ago, in the New-Coins-on-the-Block series we would like to introduce some rather unknown coins alternately. In the last issue we had a critical look at U.Cash. Today the rather unknown crypto currency XTRABYTES will be considered. This crypto currency exists since April last year and could show an increase of 4.000 % between December and January. Although the price has fallen dramatically again since then, at 0.16 Euro it is still 800 % above the price before the rally.

XTRABYTES – Three networks for one Bitcoin secret

XTRABYTES sees itself as a Bitcoin secret plafform with a modular structure and a new consensus mechanism like this: Bitcoin Secret Review 2018 » Full Scam Check The goal of XTRABYTES is the development of a completely decentralized platform. Existing blockchain-based systems are criticized for offering many possibilities for centralization. Centralization of the developers, within the framework of consensus mechanisms or with regard to the centralization of ownership are mentioned here as examples.

Another focus will be on abolishing proof of work. The basis for the criticism of proof of work is the high demand for energy. To achieve this, a new consensus mechanism called Proof of Signature or PoSig is introduced. In this, real and virtual node networks are compared with each other. These networks are the STATIC network, the VITALS network and the PULSE network:

STATIC nodes (Services Transactions and Trusted in Control) are responsible for the security, consensus and governance of the XTRABYTES block chain. They must sign each block. A consensus, i.e. proof of signature, is reached when all STATIC nodes have provided blocks with the same signatures. If one of the STATIC nodes deviates from the statements of the other nodes, it is put on a blacklist by the other nodes if it does not want to correct its block. Since they are the backbone of the entire network, they are remunerated by payment of the fees incurred in the system. A distinction is made between different levels, each of which has a different share of the fees.
VITALS stands for Virtual Information Transmissions aligning STATICS. It is an internal network of virtual nodes, which connects the STATIC nodes and is a kind of VPN access to the STATIC network. It is the network that enables undisturbed interaction of the STATIC nodes.

The cryptosoft network (Ping Unified Ledger Synchronization Equalizer) is a kind of signal generator:

After an initiated transaction, a cryptosoft signal is sent to all nodes so that they know that there will soon be a transaction to process according to onlinebetrug. Due to the high processing speed of the transactions, synchronization errors of individual STATIC nodes can occur. This is detected and announced by PULSE. In this sense PULSE is a kind of governance for the VITALS network and ensures the communication between the nodes.

In summary, STATIC Nodes actually create and verify the new blocks, VITALS Nodes maintain the consensus and the Pulse network is the basic communication layer.

Another special feature of the network is the use of SHA-512 encryption, which is expected to provide encryption that cannot be cracked by quantum computers for the foreseeable future. Here the modular structure of XTRABYTES should also be used to be able to update the encryption mechanism quickly in case of doubt.
