Monero (XMR) is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency that is not based on Bitcoin's code. Monero aims to be a fungible and untraceable digital medium of exchange. It intrinsically has a higher degree of privacy than Bitcoin or any of its various forks. It was launched on April 18, 2014 (preannounced and no premine/ICO/etc.). The official core team members are (in no particular order) - Riccardo "fluffypony" Spagni, luigi1111, NoodleDoodle, smooth, tacotime, Franciso "ArticMine" Cabañas, othe Announcements Please visit News, announcements and editorials on the Monero Forum for the latest news. Features Untraceable payments Unlinkable transactions Blockchain analysis resistance Adaptive parameters Academic and Theory Monero's functionality is backed up by academic research and cryptographically proven schemes. Much of this research is done by the Monero Research Lab. Since Monero was initially based on the CryptoNote protocol, the CryptoNote whitepaper is also an invaluable reference for validating Monero's unlinkability and untraceability claims. The CryptoNote Whitepaper Initial Review of the CryptoNote Whitepaper MRL-0001: A Note on Chain Reactions in Traceability in CryptoNote 2.0 MRL-0002: Counterfeiting via Merkle Tree Exploits within Virtual Currencies Employing the CryptoNote Protocol MRL-0003: Monero is Not That Mysterious MRL-0004: Improving Obfuscation in the CryptoNote Protocol MRL-0005: Ring Signature Confidential Transactions Specifications PoW algorithm: CryptoNight [1] Max supply: Infinite (see note below) [2] Block reward: Smoothly varying [3] Block time: 60 seconds Difficulty: Retargets at every block [1] CPU + GPU mining (about 1:1 performance for now). Memory-bound by design using AES encryption and several SHA-3 candidates. [2] Initial number of atomic units is M = 264 - 1. However, once the block reward reaches 0.3 XMR (sometime in 2022) that is treated as the minimum subsidy, which means that Monero's total emission will forever increase by ~157783.68 XMR annually. [3] Uses a recurrence relation. Block reward = (M - A) * 2-20 * 10-12, where A = current circulation. Roughly 86% mined in 4 years (see graph).

What is Litecoin? Litecoin is a peer-to-peer Internet currency that enables instant, near-zero cost payments to anyone in the world. Litecoin is an open source, global payment network that is fully decentralized without any central authorities. Mathematics secures the network and empowers individuals to control their own finances. Litecoin features faster transaction confirmation times and improved storage efficiency than the leading math-based currency. With substantial industry support, trade volume and liquidity, Litecoin is a proven medium of commerce complementary to Bitcoin.

What is Dash? Dash (DASH) is a privacy-centric digital currency with instant transactions. It is based on the Bitcoin software, but it has a two tier network that improves it. Dash allows you to remain anonymous while you make transactions, similar to cash. With Bitcoin, transactions are published to the blockchain and you can prove who made them or to whom, but with Dash the anonymization technology makes it impossible to trace them. This is important because the blockchain is accessible to anyone with an internet connection – a significant drawback for those don’t wish their transaction history and balances to be publicly available. Dash does this through a mixing protocol utilizing an innovative decentralized network of servers called Masternodes, avoiding the need for a trusted third party that could compromise the integrity of the system. Dash transactions are almost instantly confirmed by the Masternodes network. This is a great improvement on Bitcoin’s system, where confirmations take much longer because all the work is done by the miners. For full details please read the Dash whitepaper. Why choose Dash? PRIVATE Keep your payments private so nobody can track you, your transactions and balances are nobody’s business. With Dash’s ahead of time anonymization only you have access to your financial information. FAST Payments are received almost instantly by the other party thanks to InstantX technology. Ahead of time anonymization lets you send Dashs anonymously without waiting for processes or people. SECURE Advanced encryption and a trustless protocol for complete security in your payments and anonymization process. GLOBAL You can send money anywhere in the world and it will take the same time and cost to send. LOW FEES Much lower than banks or credit cards, usually even free. You don’t pay profits to anyone, just the network costs. PEER TO PEER No central authorities to trust because of full decentralization, even for the anonymization process. Everything stays between you and the other party in the transaction.

Welcome to the New Beginning When the grand experiment that is bitcoin began, the anonymous wizard desired to test two parameters- a trustless, decentralized database enjoying security enforced by the austere relentlessness of cryptography and a robust transaction system capable of sending value across the world without intermediaries. Yet the past five years years have painfully demonstrated a third missing feature: a sufficiently powerful Turing-complete scripting language. Up until this point, most innovation in advanced applications such as domain and identity registration, user-issued currencies, smart property, smart contracts, and decentralized exchange has been highly fragmented, and implementing any of these technologies has required creating an entire meta-protocol layer or even a specialized blockchain. Theoretically, however, each and every one of these innovations and more can potentially be made hundreds of times easier to implement, and easier to scale, if only there was a stronger foundational layer with a powerful scripting language for all of these protocols to build upon. And this need is what we seek to satisfy. Ethereum is a modular, stateful, Turing-complete contract scripting system married to a blockchain and developed with a philosophy of simplicity, universal accessibility and generalization. Our goal is to provide a platform for decentralized applications - an android of the cryptocurrency world, where all efforts can share a common set of APIs, trustless interactions and no compromises. We ask for the community to join us as volunteers, developers, investors and evangelists seeking to enable a fundamentally different paradigm for the internet and the relationships it provides.

About Feathercoin Feathercoin is a powerful open source digital currency with monetary properties likened to Bitcoin, Litecoin and a myriad of countless alt coins, but under the hood is something very different. Feathercoin is a highly upgraded and customised piece of software compared to the Bitcoin and Litecoin protocols. Based from btc, ltc evolved, from which ftc was born, with the intent to expand, experiment, and build onto the blockchain technology in a manner open to all for participation. Just over one year on, this has lead to the development of many extraordinary projects but none like NeoScrypt. Through the support of the community and the hard work of Phoenixcoin’s lead developer Ghostlander, we have taken Scrypt where it should have headed years ago now. Let’s get Technical Feathercoin is based on NeoScrypt and implements many features not seen in the majority of crypto coins. We have open source projects for ATM’s and Point of Sales equipment, t-shirt wallets, laser etched physical Feathercoins and Raspberry Pi based projects. There really are too many things to list but here are some of the technical aspects which differentiate Feathercoin from most.

An innovative approach to ownership. Franko is a peer-to-peer payment network built with blockchain technology. The blockchain is a synchronized public ledger that monitors ownership of FRK's (frankos). FRK (franko) is the financial instrument used on the Franko payment network. FRK's can be instantly sent to anyone in the world as simply as sending an email and at little to no cost. New FRK's are generated at a predictable rate of 0.25FRK/30 seconds (720 FRK per day) as an incentive to volunteers who secure the network against double spending. You can buy and sell FRK at cryptocurrency exchanges like Cryptsy, exchange FRK for goods and services at accepting retailers or invest in FRK as a store of wealth like gold and silver.

VISION: Providing a stable system to with withstand the demands of the entire altcoin community. MISSION: To build strong network of users, create robust apps for goods & services, spread awareness about cryptocurrency through charity, and facilitate a healthy decentralize monetary environment for all. We support charitable cause and encourage technology innovation, this is our core value. We are different from other altcoins because we are focusing in integrating the “use” of htmlcoin to the “mainstream,” common people.
