Here are the key points I have collated from the developer over numerous posts so far:
The mixer technology will be multi-path across a
cluster of xnodes which runs over the encrypted protocol, so it won't be a central server, it would be similar to a distributed cluster, and the data is encapsulated inside that encrypted tunnel to prevent off-the wire sniffing (or off-the-air* for the mobile platform)... DRK didn't "invent" supernodes or the concept, and while some of concepts are similar and/or overlap, we are on
a different path than DRK and as we refine the platform, it will be clear why our design, implementation and infrastructure is superior as we will have
autonomous supernodes using PKI that can scale up and out to become a distributed anonymous application platform This is why the multi-path paradigm network
I built back in 2005 still functions to do this day and scaled up to meet the demands of 2014... think back to 2005, granted we had the internet, but not the mobile technology - and that is a key part of my background is mobility that will be leveraged in the
android anonymous POS wallet(

(The principles for this concept come from a design that I originally leveraged back in 2005,[multi-path paradigm] the system still runs to do this day handling 50k to 100k users per day )
If your waiting for NSA proof anonymity -
well that is the goal of our REV 2 release..No, mixing is only part of it, XC now contains a
completely new transaction protocol layer that is encrypted and will be leveraged as a platform for all sorts of concepts.... and it will leverage multi-path paradigm topology (which again is a custom developed concept based on dual-path paradigm)So mixing is just the first application to run on top of this new protocol........ Don't want this key point to get lost --- mixing is just the first application, the list is long and the potential is huge, and since the foundation has been built and deployed, it is now time to build on that foundation.... with some revolutionary concepts and idea's.....
Also the infrastructure for this will support numerous other applications, such as encrypted messaging, P2P exchange..etc granted we can only develop new features so fast, but we are putting the foundation for a multi-use, multi-purpose platform
