It has been a while since someone posted here, so I will post a little update here.
LogoXDS has a new logo:
ChainWe are at block number 144,125 currently. We still have 65,875 blocks to go for the halving. It's a great opportunity to participate in mining since
the block rewards are still at 50 XDS a block and the total hash rate is
not too high right now.
MiningMining is also possible with a GPU right now thanks to user spartacrypt:

https://xds.trustaking.com/ApplicationsTruly decentralized messenger.User soma42 in the XDS discord server has been working on
a truly encrypted decentralized messaging application for a while now. It is working, but it's still in the alpha phase! It currently uses custom nodes to relay messages to other users, encrypted. It is still a work in progress. New features are added in every iteration.
The ultimate goal is to have everyone set up these nodes which will eventually utilize XDS! It currently uses a terminal/retro style GUI. You can check it out here and try for yourself:
