Description

The X-Cash Community Hub (X-Hub) is a responsive website used to organize, collect, discuss, and share various contributions to the X-Cash project.
Offering a centralized public hub where people can quickly make contributions & proposals, easily find answers & tutorials, discuss requests, or just explore the X-Cash World and have fun. X-Hub hosts all of the tutorials, articles, tools, etc. that will be useful to the broader community, and laypersons alike. Finally, it should be an easy-to-access and easy-to-use public space.
