Nexus Earth (NXS)
Nexus Earth is a digital currency, distributed framework, and peer-to-peer network. Nexus Earth further improves upon the blockchain protocol by focusing on the following core technological principles


 * Speed
 * Scalability
 * Security
 * Accessibility

Nexus Earth will combine our in-development quantum-resistant 3D blockchain software with cutting edge communication satellites to deliver a free, distributed, financial and data solution. Through our planned satellite and ground-based mesh networks, Nexus Earth will provide uncensored internet access whilst bringing the benefits of distributed database systems to the world.

Nexus Earth is an innovative cryptocurrency that runs off its own algorithm and has a well though through infrastructure that takes it beyond bitcoin and other 1st generation cryptocurrencies. It has a checks and balances system for sending coins, where transactions can be retrieved if sent to a wrong address.

Token


 * The official ticker symbol for Nexus token: NXS
 * Started from 23 Sep 2014.
 * Total token supply: 78,000,000
 * Circulating Supply: 56,822,363 NXS
 * Proof of stake: 0,5% up to 2%.

Secure Digital Currency

 * Nexus Earth is the first truly quantum-resistant blockchain, incorporating advanced cryptography designed to negate the threat posed by quantum technology of the future.
 * The 3DC combines 571-bit private keys, 1024-bit Skein and Keccak quantum-resistant hashing algorithms, and an evolving signature scheme called signature chains.
 * Signature chains update the private and public keys that secure your address and obscures them after each and every transaction, maintaining the integrity and security of your account even on mobile wallets.
 * Signature chains offer several advantages over equivalent quantum-resistant schemes such as BLISS and Lamport signatures, being extremely compact and lightweight, making it ideal for blockchain applications.

Multi-Dimensional Chain (MDC)

 * The Multi-Dimensional Chain (MDC) was introduced by Colin Cantrell (founder and lead developer of Nexus Earth) at the 2017 Nexus Crypto Currency Conference in Aspen, Colorado.
 * The new 3DC framework is the next evolution of the blockchain protocol.
 * The 3DC uses a unique implementation of three consensus channels, transforming the blockchain into a 3D process called the 3 dimensional chain.
 * The 3DC is an efficient, scalable and secure framework designed for greater decentralization and utilization of resources, and will be implemented through the three stages of the TAO (Tritium, Amine, Obsidian) upgrade.

Orbital Mesh Network

 * Nexus Earth will lease satellites from Galactic Sky starting in 2018 at a discounted rate in return for testing the platform. These satellites will store blockchain signature data and will operate as full staking nodes, greatly enhancing the reliability and performance of the network.
 * Over 2019, Nexus Earth aims to deploy community-owned cubesats to create its own constellation. Once our hardware designs are finalized and open source, individuals will be able to add their own satellites to the network pool and profit from their space capacity. The constellation will also be available to other developers to host their own software applications and provide data storage.
 * The Nexus orbital mesh network will consist of a range of cubesats from the sub-1U to the larger 3U satellites in LEO, each orbiting the Earth approximately every 90 minutes. Phillip Swazey who worked with Iridium, a satellite communication company that has a constellation of 72 satellites in GEO, is currently designing the preliminary 1U satellite for Phase 1 deployment.
 * The orbital mesh network will be designed in two layers: a relay layer and an outer processing and storage layer. Initially, relay cubesats will symbiotically communicate with ground mesh hardware by hand radio frequencies UHF and VHF, which are much easier to obtain FCC licenses for, supplying adequate bandwidth to support transactions and other services. In the future Nexus cubesats will communicate on S-band, a wifi range that is capable of transferring much more data.

Mining guide

 * Official Nexus Mining Guide

Nexus can be mined either by GPU, CPU or Staking. Nexus algorithm uses a combination of Skein and Keccak that utilize permutation to rotate and mix the information in the hash, thus these algorithms are mined better with Nvidia GPUs rather than AMD, a thing you should take into consideration if you want to mine NEXUS.

There are 2 channels that you can use to mine Nexus, and 1 channel for minting:

Prime Mining Channel - CPU Mining

This mining channel looks for a special prime cluster of a set length. This type of calculation is resistant to ASIC mining, allowing for greater decentralization. This is most often performed using the CPU.

Hashing Channel - GPU Mining

This channel utilizes the more traditional method of hashing. This process adds a random nonce, hashes the data, and compares the resultant hash against a predetermined format set by the difficulty. This is most often performed using a GPU.

Proof of Stake (nPoS)

Staking is a form of mining NXS. With this process, you can receive NXS rewards from the network for continuously operating your node (wallet). It is recommended that you only stake with a minimum balance of 1000 NXS. It’s not impossible to stake with less, but it becomes harder to maintain trust. Losing trust resets the interest rate back to 0.5% per annum.
