Dear BitNodes Comminity!

First of all, we apologize to all who can not answer in time.

We are immersed in work on the new version of the BitNodes kernel, as well as on infrastructure services such as exchanger, exchange, micro-credit service and several other interesting projects.

Unfortunately, there are absolutely no people among us who are ready to promote our projects and make them profitable.
We tried to place an announcement about raising funds to enter the exchanges, but did not receive any specific proposals.
We put XNODE on ExtStock.com with our own forces (which unfortunately is not listed at coinmarketcap.com yet), and we also negotiate with several exchanges about NODE and XNODE listings.

It's even more offensive to see that the hashrate of NODE and XNODE networks is falling.
We understand that the price of $0.005 for the XNODE coin is small, and that the ExtStock does not allow traders to bid without verification, but we believe in the project and want to spark this belief in you.
If you have free hashrate, please support BitNodes. Your coins will bring you income, albeit not right now.

If you are ready to help us in listing the coins on the exchanges, then we will accept any help. Even 0.001 btc will be accepted with gratitude.

In response, we promise that we will not stop the work and you will soon see new services in the ecosystem of BitNodes.

Hello!

We apologize for the minor issues with NODE and XNODE on March 9th. They were fixed and both blockchains work fine.

NODE listing on the crypto-exchanges is scheduled for this month. Follow our news, subscribe to our Twitter!

Hello! Unfortunately, we can't sell any coins from our Investment Fund and would like to offer you buy some XNODEs at exchange.
We've listed XNODE on one exchange for now - ExtStock. More exchanges are coming soon!

Thank you! We'll review Graviex and probably will apply to listing. Unfortunately, they require min. monthly trading volume - 5 BTC. We're not sure we can provide such volume right now, but later - with no doubt!

Thank you for your question!
Of course, Masternodes are supported by Bitnodes and BitNodes Pro. This can be easily verified by looking at the transactions of any block, part of the reward of which goes to the miner, and another part to MN.
Unfortunately, now the client applications don't have the functions to manage the MNs.
We planned to update clients by April 2018, including for the management of MNs.

Will be published BitNodes Roadmap soon, so stay tuned and follow our Twitter account.

We are very grateful to everyone who actively contributes to the development of BitNodes and would like to answer a number of key questions that are heard in this forum and are sent to us by e-mail.

1. Is it a scam?
No! BitNodes and BitNodes Pro are currencies developed for mining, supported on our servers and improved by our developers.
Everyone can become a miner and get some coins today and run his own masternode.

2. Ok, if this is not a scam, then why is BitNodes Pro created?
BitNodes is a currency for miners who can easily mine coins and also easily create Masternodes.
BitNodes Pro is a currency for the community, which provides an investment fund to support interesting blockchain projects.
Get Pro-Mastenode is much more difficult, the higher its value.

3. Did BitNodes fail and therefore BitNodes Pro was launched?
No! BitNodes will evolve along with BitNodes Pro, it will participate in the internal services of our ecosystem.

4. Will BitNodes and/or BitNodes Pro be traded on exchanges?
Yes! We have heard of BitNodes coin holders and want to inform you that within a month both coins (BitNodes and BitNodes Pro) will trade on at least one exchange.
We recommend do not sell your masternodes now and follow the news of our project.
In addition, we plan to launch the BitNodes Ex exchange, where it will be possible to trade NODE and XNODE.

We once again want to express our gratitude to all those who support us in the postponement of the BitNodes ecosystem!

Today, January 26, we are launching a new project in the BitNodes ecosystem. We decided to name the project BitNodes Pro (XNODE), because this project is designed to support crypto-enthusiasts and developers from the reserve of the investment fund BitNodes.

We invite all the participants of our community to join the new currency exchange and send us their applications for grants:

Technological information:
Masternodes:
The masternodes are the main actors of the network, holding a constant amount of 1000 XNODE which enables them to claim a payment of interest for each block generated, the masternodes are randomly drawn so that each Masternodes has the same payment average. It is possible to see the winning masternodes by simply typing in the console "masternodes winners", you will obtain a list of the XNODE addresses for future blocks.
The Masternodes also helps maintain a reliable and fast connection network worldwide.

Instant X:
You can send money between XNODE wallets faster thanks to the support of masternodes. Thus, the transaction verification will be faster, but is limited to about 1000 XNODEs. The transaction cost will be higher than a typical transaction to reward the masternodes that confirmed the transaction.

DarkSend and mixer:
DarkSend is a function that makes an anonymous part of your coins. Then the parts, anonymous, will be available only in DarkSend networks and can be exchanged between purses anonymously. Anonymization of a currency includes a variable cost depending on the volume to be processed and takes a long time.

Official post from the Dev team

We want to express our great gratitude to all those who are interested in BitNodes and continue to invest in it their computing power.

On peaks the hashrate reached almost 3Th/s and we are sure that this is not the limit.
We want to state that there was no 51% attack and we never mined NODE by ourselves.

Currently, our team is working on the improved version of BitNodes - BitNodes Pro (XNODE), which is designed to fix all the shortcomings revealed during the launch of Bitnodes.
In addition, in Bitnodes Pro there will be formed a venture fund in the amount of 1M coins, which will be used to finance interesting projects using Bitnodes and Bitnodes Pro blockchains.
We are ready to consider your business projects now. It can be projects of marketplaces, bridges with other crypto-currencies, offline terminals, vending machines, etc.
Funds from the fund will be allocated to the most interesting projects, supported by financial calculations.

We plan to launch BitNodes Pro as early as January 2018 and bring this coin to the largest crypto-exchanges within 1-2 months.

As for Bitnodes, this currency will be intended for calculations inside the Bitnodes ecosystem and its access to the exchanges is not yet planned.
This does not mean that its value will be zero. Within the Bitnodes ecosystem, a marketplace will be created for the exchange of NODE / XNODE.

Follow our updates and Happy New Year!

Information:
BitNodes is an anonymous open source crypto currency that is based on the Dash Core. We increased the speed of block generation and changed the hash algorithm to X13. BitNodes uses the POS & POW protocol with an innovative reward mechanism that dynamically distributes 50% of the reward between the masternodes. BitNodes is designed for a crypto community, with the ability to quickly anonymous transactions and a fair management system.
