OXEN is a fork of Monero that uses proof of stake instead of proof of work and supports instant transactions. Lokinet (onion router, like tor) and Session (messanger) are build on top of it. I just discovered it a week ago and I’m suprised that I hadn’t heard of it before. In my opinion It’s a better Monero (except that Monero has higher and more stable price)? What do you think about OXEM? Is it better or not, and why?
I liked the idea about running a crypto to power a darknet, but the PoS move weren’t a good idea. With Tor + SimpleXChat, we reach the pretty same goals wanted by OXEN.
