XRC in 2019: focus on unique solutions for investors and decentralization
With the year coming to the end, we would like to share the most important results of 2019.
Decentralization
The main result of 2019 for us was that we achieved full stability and decentralization of the network. Our team worked in the non-stop mode in order to build and optimize the whole system for further growth. We started the year with only one official mining pool hosting 100% of the mining power. Shortly after source code was released new mining pools opened XRC pools on their site. And now our official pool accounts less than 5% of all mined blocks.
Up to date information about all existing XRC pools can be found at https://miningpoolstats.stream/bitcoinrhodium
Honest and Simple Dividends Program
In a year we successfully finished 3 cycles of our rewards program for holders. 24,108 XRC were distributed to investors. The forth one will end on January 1 and will have doubled amount of XRC.
Moreover, the team has decided to permanently leave doubled rewards (16,072 XRC) up until the Strong Hands fund runs out in 2022. The target is to nearly stop the inflation with the first halving. It will immediately make XRC extra scarce, especially with FreeMarket.ONE economy reaching its potential.
