XTA Bumblebee Release — v0.15.0
XTA is proud to announce the release of #Bumblebee, which is their next major upgrade scheduled for this January 27th, 2020 at block 465,000! This major release will update their algorithm from Cryptonight_R to the highly anticipated RandomX! We will be getting into all of the details in this article that you don’t want to miss! Let’s begin!
A Brief History
XTA, born in 2018 with dreams of success, innovation, & fair distribution principle — is now on its 15th network upgrade to v0.15.0. No premine, no funding, no ICO, just pure hard work and coding! A variant of the Cryptonote codebase, this SUPERCHARGED state of the art privacy-tech coin is making big waves in the micro cap sector! With a total volume of nearly 1.5 BTC for the month of January things are really starting to bubble as they approach their highly anticipated “Bumblebee” fork.
Micro Cap Sector
The micro cap sector is on a league of its own. Filled with extremely unpredictable, high risk, MOONSHOT potential projects. It is very common to have periods of illiquidity and liquidity and is not for the faint hearted. As the markets heat up heading into the next BTC halving in May 2020, the probability of these micro cap sectors blowing up is increasing every day. It is only a matter of time until a pandemonium filled stage of EUPHORIA will be upon us.
Primed to PUMP
With technology reaching an exponential rate of growth and the ever so increasing demand for privacy, XTA is perfectly positioned to have EXPLOSIVE growth in the micro cap privacy sector. Its technicals all lead to upwards price discovery with a current circulating supply of only 3.6 Million and current market cap of only 30k! Take a look at the charts and price action on TradeOgre (the privacy coin hubspot exchange) and have a look for yourself.
Bulletproof Supercharged
XTA was the first CryptoNote coin to implement Bulletproofs onto their chain. This is a major achievement! Here is a screenshot of the block which they were integrated on April 2nd, 2018 — (You can visit the explorer yourself here to confirm: Block 5000 Bulletproof Integration):
Since XTA has bulletproofs integrated since block height 5000, its chain is super compact, efficient, and less prone to bugs. It has a STATE-OF-THE-ART privacy encrypted chain. The current block size is down to 1.4kb from 14kb which is a huge, huge reduction! This results in LIGHTNING fast speeds and security! With its newest #Bumblebee upgrade the chain syncs from start to finish in only 12 minutes!
