[NEW XBY ANN] XTRABYTES - BECAUSE THE BLOCKCHAIN CAN BE BETTER

[hasteee]

~130/512 TestNet positions taken already. Not bad.

Do we need to be level 1 static owners for test net? If not, then where are the level 1 owners? Thought there was 512 of them minus a few.

Does testing get you in level 1?

You don't even have to own a single xby!! You could end up with 5,000xby if you find a vulnerability though.

How about 5,000 XBY for just being really ridiculously good looking?

Hello Everyone,

GET INTO THE SLACK: https://xtrabytes.herokuapp.com/   

You are invited to help make XBY great again!
The Testnet has just started, where we stresstest the new XBY Blockchain, you don’t need anything to participate.
Just PM @rule144 in the XBY Slack to get an invite into the testnet-channel, there you will find Instructions and help. Thank you.

New to this project and have some questions. It seems like there has been good dev progress, but do you have a marketing team? As great as your project may be, it is important for people to know about it. There's overhyping a project and then there is lack of promoting. Also, do you only have one person on the dev team? To have a whole project depend on one person seems a bit risky.

Not here to FUD, just trying to get more information. Thanks.

You mean you might get insider information if you join in the testnet?!? You can be the first to see the capabilities of the platforrm's blockchain? It sounds as if I would be losing out if I did not join!

All valid questions which I think deserve a response.

Hello Everyone. Just wanted to add a few cents to the testnet conversation!

Who was part of the initial test?
jcpbs, rule144, bryank, bikerleszno, borz.

What did we do?
We started slow with a few transactions to and from different wallets. We quickly ramped up to spamming hundreds of transactions via console sendtoaddress command.

What's Next?
We have some basic housekeeping to perform and nail down some specifics to some of our upcoming tests but we will be expanding our pilot to all those who are interested.

We have just reached just over 100 members in our testnet. Our goal is to have 512 members utilizing the testnet. If you are interested, please stop by our slack and let us know you're interested! We will be looking to roll out to a larger group very soon!

Note: There are no requirements for you to take part in the testnet. You do not need to own a node or even have any amount of XBY. It will not cost you anything to participate! There is some very basic setup, which we will assist with and then its just sending transactions, performing attacks on the network (if you know how), etc. Periodically we may coordinate an effort together to spam the network full of transactions but that's about it. Basically use it as if you were using it for real Smiley

If anyone has any questions, please feel free to PM me or ask the questions in the slack. We will be more than happy to answer any questions!

Thanks for your Time!

*THIS SHOULD GET PEOPLE EXCITED!!!!!!!!!*

The following block is number 197 straight off the testnet. Oh, what does 1097 mean?!?  That is the number of transactions within the block!

197    4073fe5a0572fd04…    2(XtraBabY)    2017-Aug-22 23:09:42    1097 · 519923744736.00

This is only the beginning and full stress testing has not even started. 



Hack Testnet challenge, my 5,000xby to the first person to find a confirmed vulnerability that is not previously known to the dev team. In other words, a zero-day.

Ah yes. Thank you Secure -- I meant to mention this in my post as well. The size of these blocks easily compare against a BTC block. Our testnet is handling these with no problem!

This is nuts you guys, very awesome. I've been going in and out of TestNet for a while and really excited to see such amazing results. I went in with no expectations and came out a believer. I'm looking forward to a more heavy stress test or for the team to find some hardcore programmers to try and take it down. Though I'm sure XBY would be able to handle it!

[enkiamo]

I'm hoping the XTRABYTES platform can handle more transactions per second than Ripple.

do u have typicall numbers by chance? it would interest me what the typicall transaction rates are.

[LostWords]

Let's go!   

[bikerleszno]

Lostword : WOW Great design

[BryanK]

Great Image Lost! I like how you threw the testnet members names in there! Very creative, Very cool!
