Major update introduction (update will be released next week Oct, 24 - Oct, 30)

As you may know, the main concern we have is the network security. Low hashrate may lead to various attacks. That is why we are working on PoA (proof of activity), to make DigitalNote network the most secure crypto network ever! But, as you may know PoA consist of two elements and one is still CryptoNight proof of work. The second one is the new PoA block.
PoA = 2 blocks "working together": PoW+"Block-from-deposits".
So with PoA we still need a strong PoW element to make it really secure.
At the same time, while PoW is a great way to secure, it is also the great way to waste energy. But we want to be environment-friendly and secure at the same time.
As you may know Monero, is the CryptoNote network with the highest hashrate - about 30 MH/s now. That is huge, but, imagine, how much energy it uses. Lots of energy. Really lots of energy. Why not use it in different ways, not just for securing Monero network?
This summer we were working on merged mining - XDN+XMR.
"Merged mining" is the process of allowing two different crypto currencies based on the same algorithm to be mined simultaneously.
XMR and XDN have the same ASIC resistant CryptoNight algo, and we will use XMR hashrate to improve XDN network and will improve energy efficiency ratio for both XMR and XDN.
We will introduce XMR+XDN Merged mining. So users who are mining Monero will be able to mine XDN at the same time with the same computing power and receive both XMR and XDN block rewards.
Merged mining hardfork will be released next week Oct, 24 - Oct, 30. Get ready.

Surprise introduction (surprise will be released next week Oct, 24 - Oct, 30)

We were not working on merged mining from scratch. There is one CryptoNote coin that has already introduced Merged Mining, called FantomCoin. It was abandoned by developers, having great potential. We could not reach FantomCoin developers to speak about FantomCoin development and Merged mining. FantomCoin is totally abandoned. But it helped us to make XDN merged mining. We started our experiments with FantomCoin and had a great progress. Learned so much from it. We can't just close our eyes and keep going.
We have to pay for our knowledge.
FantomCoin is pretty much outdated, barely working and so on. We will breathe new life into it, it will be reborn under the XDN-project flag, will have network improvements, will have XMR+FCN merged mining, the new wallet, etc.
And we will keep FantomCoin development in future as well.
FantomCoin will remain the "classic" CryptoNote coin with merged mining, with no messages, deposits or PoA.
So our surprise is: we are becoming new FantomCoin developers.

P.S. XDN is our primary priority, we are working on PoA and hopefully, will introduce it in 2017. Before PoA introduction we should deal with improving XDN PoW hashrate to make the first PoA element strong enough.

P.P.S. Major update = merged mining XMR+XDN
         Our surprise  = FantomCoin rebirth under the XDN-project flag

Great news. 
Today, the price goes to the moon

[dNote]

To be clear we will keep the old FCN blockchain, will start new repo and will develop FCN side-by-side with XDN.

[shirkan]

great news, FCN is a nice coin deserving some love 

[Annieluvyou]

where can i buy fantomcoin???
poloniex, bittrex or another exchange???

[shirkan]

for now only on hitbtc.com, but I assume other exchanges will list it again once volume kicks in.

[ShooterXD]

Time to start mining this!

Lets go!

[lootz]

Geat news! Price will go up.

[jc12345]

Is there an active chain somewhere?

[mobilestrike]

That is a good news for all of us, I want to get some coins of that as I know if you started to work on that way then the price will increase more higher. and we will earn a very high profit with our investment in that coin.

[bitvalak]

I hope there is a new innovation from you so that FANTOMCOIN can compete with others who are increasingly altcoins many emerging new coin

[skaynet]

where exchange?

[ChompStory]

where exchange?

https://hitbtc.com/exchange


but will be on poloniex shortly as its under the XDN wing. funny there are still some old sells left up, people are going to be upset when they realize there has been a takeover and sells are still left up

To be clear we will keep the old FCN blockchain, will start new repo and will develop FCN side-by-side with XDN.

Will the code for both coins be almost identical after your takeover, or will there be big differences in the two coins? Will FCN be using PoA (proof of activity) in addition to XDN? Is proof of activity going to be exclusively used in XDN and no other coin you develop?

No, source code will not be identical, FCN will have no PoA, PoA is an exclusive XDN feature.
We will make a major FCN update and will develop it as a classic proof of work coin with merged mining (FCN+XMR).
We will release major FCN network improvements, will increase default block size, etc. Later this year we will introduce GUI for FCN.

Will you be setting up and paying for an FCN website and block explorers? Will you be paying for nodes to keep the merged mining running until there is some serious interest from miners?

It's good to have a new dev revive FCN, I hope the improvements make it popular again.

[g3rszpi]

yee. I remember my first mined coin was Fantom. then sold at 1 sat. #bigprofit 

[Ai7xpressTV]

great news. best regards

[jc12345]

Is there a working chain for Fantomcoin somewhere in order to sync the wallet?

[ChompStory]

Is there a working chain for Fantomcoin somewhere in order to sync the wallet?

new github, and wallets will be released

currently has only a $300,000 usd market cap, so much potential for it to rise to 3million+, afterall it is a cryptonote coin, with the XDN team having the knowledge how to plan and execute amazing projects.

all these coins on hitbtc slowly getting eaten.
