XTRABYTES is a blockchain / modules platform and associated cryptocurrency that introduces several key innovations that provide significant security and scalability advantages over current crypto technologies on the market.
The goal of XTRABYTES is to provide a platform on which a multitude of customized services can be deployed and utilized. Several blockchain solutions provide a similar offering, but XTRABYTES is unique in that it is backed by and built upon a secure, powerful, and reliable network.
The XTRABYTES network will provide a highly customizable platform which enables developers to create and deploy a variety of tailored applications. Flexibility and ease-of-use are central to the design of the network, shortening the development process and allowing users to launch their projects quickly and efficiently. The goal is for XTRABYTES to serve as the host for an entire ecosystem of applications and services, all backed by the security and scalability advantages inherent in XTRABYTES' core technology.
On the XTRABYTES platform, these custom applications have been labeled modules, reflecting the fact that they are both independent and self-contained from other modules; each comprising an entirely separate application. Modules are segregated and can be created, updated, and deleted without impacting each other or disrupting the network in any way. They will offer plug-and-play functionality where modules can easily be connected to the XTRABYTES network and immediately draw upon its core features.
The XTRABYTES development team plans to release several modules as a proof-of-concept and to provide several core services. The first of these will be comprised of a decentralized secure data storage, with several other services currently under consideration.

While transferring money the buyer can be sure that the sum will be received on the seller’s account only if the shipment reached its intended destination.
- Guaranteed quality
We take responsibility for quality management and guarantee that the seller makes a shipment according to a product card and a given description to the buyer.
- Protecting the buyer’s interests and arbitrating by Storiqa
In case the product was damaged by carrier in the process of transportation the buyer can apply for arbitration to Storiqa, and after consideration of the application we will give a full or partial refund of the product cost.
What is Bitshares?
DPoS graphene blockchain built with a native cryptocurrency, custom tokens, built-in decentralized exchange, and more.
How do I create an account/sign-up/register?
Use one of the wallets. For example: reference wallet instructions.
How do I stake coins?
Bitshares is not typical PoS blockchain where anyone can produce "mine" blocks. In DPoS anyone can
validate blocks, but producing and corresponding block reward is limited to peer reviewed
witnesses anyone with bitshares can vote for or vote against by removing votes or voting for others.
Some block producers may choose to reward voters with portion of income but it's not common.
What's the difference between openledger and bitshares?
Bitshares is the blockchain with bts, tokens, the DEX, and the orderbooks. Openledger company does several things
on top of bitshares, like provide one of several user interfaces, provides a gateway to external blockchains,
and help build some projects on top of bitshares. They even have their own FAQ.
All typical user interfaces to bts blockchain like openledger.io use same blockchain and thus same order books and accounts.
Is bitshares a cryptocurrency or a decentralized exchange or a decentralized organization?
It's the name of a blockchain & name of base currency used for incentives.
The bitshares blockchain just happens to have a native integrated decentralized exchange.
The blockchain also happens to have the very first DAO (they called DAC originally) that runs it.
What do you use BTS for? What does it do?
1. Approval voting weight in the worlds first DAO/DAC (decentralized autonomous organization/corporation)
- Used to fund block producers (witnesses) by the blockchain to secure it.
- Used to fund workers (people who want to work for blockchain & get voted in).
- Transaction or action fees. However, fee pools allow some fees to be paid in other coins.
- Used as collateral for creating pegged tokens like bitUSD, also used for margin trading.
Someone said bitshares/dpos is centralized
or has master nodes?
Bitshares is designed to be extremely decentralized & attempts to reduce influence of wealth concentration.
The approach & tech metrics are extremely different from others causing confusion and difficulty in comparisons.
There are almost no similarities between "master nodes" and block producers (witnesses) in bitshares/dpos. - Every account with BTS (37641 @ 2017-10-19) can vote and influence the blockchain either directly
or indirectly by conditionally selecting or delegating to another while they best represent them.
This is more than almost all blockchains have full nodes and, by # of participants, much more decentralized.
Barrier to entry for decentralized participation is lower so entry of enormous numbers of bts holders is easier.
Every part of the blockchain (each block producing witnesses, each worker, committee member, proxy,
and their choice for fees, incentives like rewards or punishments, upgrades via forks, validation, security)
is controlled by holders of bts, and spread, i.e. decentralized, across many accounts. - Approval voting makes it very difficult for large stake holder to take over the system.
- Each holder delegating security enforcement to ~20 block producers is more decentralized than to typical far fewer dominant mining/staking pools.
Full nodes still have validation importance and additional formalized votes are quantifiable and clear resulting in effective blockchain governance.
Instead of allowing those holding 51% of weight (or less if lucky) to attack, 2/3 witnesses + 1 required for a fork.
Additionally their influence is forced to be equal in weight reducing wealth (equipment or stake) influence (attempt at breaking Pareto principle).
Witnesses elected not by wealth but by merit/performance and are under continuous peer-review.
Becoming a prospective witness or worker is permissionless for entry. - Stake at risk if voted out is vested salary paid to witnesses over potentially unlimited amount of time in future.
Instead of producers competing and diluting each others profit, good compensation makes bribing them expensive. - Bitshares was fairly distributed via PoW and wide airdrops (never sold from a liquid pool) for maximum decentralization.
Fair and wide permissionless low-entry distribution avoids security flaws with bad distributions like via standard ICO's.
Free market trade of bts, including via built-in decentralized exchange, punishes stake grab attempts with high prices.
What's the difference between wallets and accounts?
Account model is new and easier: 
Am I logging in with account model or wallet model?
Try switching login options like this 
to login with wallet option first time, have to hit gear button, settings, Restore/Import, upload file, put in pass, hit restore.
