Can someone break it down in simple terms and explain how XENBLOCKS chain fits into the upcoming X1 blockchain?

    Thanks for the reply, maybe we should get someone from the XEN team to answer this post.

    Frosty0705 If you refer to smart contracts then technically that wrong because smart contracts are off chain feature and smart contract can not be secured by any POW. Perfect example is the Eth POW pre POS.
    Transactional data is on block chain anyway so is secured but the smart contract state and the script/code is off chain, this is the main reason why we see exploits and need for audits. The newest add on feature that EVM chains implement is defender for smart contract with this probably the audits will be no need but I am not sure if this Anti-virus type tool will work well.

    madmike I'm new and running xenminer on my Mac, how can I know if it is participating in the XENBLOCK network and has received rewards or not? I just want to know if I'm running right or not?
