Nikola Tesla is often called one of history’s most important inventors, one whose discoveries in the field of
electricity were way ahead of his time and continue to influence technology today. The “genius who lit the world” is
now commemorated with an electrical unit called the Tesla, has a place in the inventor’s hall of fame, streets,
statues, and a prestigious engineer’s award in his name.

The fascinating life of Nikola Tesla, the genius who electrified the world and dreamed up death rays
July 10 is the birthday of Nikola Tesla, who would have been 161 years old today.
It's a good time to celebrate the life of the Serbian-American engineer and physicist: Without Tesla, you might not be able to affordably
power your home, let alone read this sentence.

Tesla filed more than 300 patents during his 86 years of life, and his inventions helped pave the way for alternating current (AC), electric
motors, radios, fluorescent lights, lasers, and remote controls, among many other things.

Some of his ideas later in life, however, seem strange even now. He once described plans for a death ray, for example, and alluded to
another idea for an impenetrable "wall of force" to block and destroy foreign invasions.

Here's a glimpse into the remarkable life of one of history's most important — and eccentric — geniuses.

Tesla wrote a classic paper called "A New System of Alternating Current Motors and Transformers," in 1888, in which he introduced the
concept of his motors and electrical systems.
Tesla's AC-driven system remains the world standard for delivering electricity today.

Tesla also dreamed up two concepts that remained purely theoretical: the 'death ray' and an 'impenetrable wall of force' that'd ward off
foreign invasions.

Tesla Biography
THE GENIUS WHO LIT THE WORLD
Nikola Tesla symbolizes a unifying force and inspiration for all nations in the name of peace and science. He was a true
visionary far ahead of his contemporaries in the field of scientific development. New York State and many other states
in the USA proclaimed July 10, Tesla’s birthday- Nikola Tesla Day.
 Tesla introduced his motors and electrical systems in a classic paper, “A New System of Alternating Current
Motors and Transformers” which he delivered before the American Institute of Electrical Engineers in 1888. One of
the most impressed was the industrialist and inventor George Westinghouse. One day he visited Tesla’s laboratory and
was amazed at what he saw. Tesla had constructed a model polyphase system consisting of an alternating current
dynamo, step-up and step-down transformers and A.C. motor at the other end. The perfect partnership between Tesla
and Westinghouse for the nationwide use of electricity in America had begun.

Tesla’s A.C. induction motor is widely used throughout the world in industry and household appliances. It
started the industrial revolution at the turn of the century. Electricity today is generated transmitted and
converted to mechanical power by means of his inventions. Tesla’s greatest achievement is his polyphase
alternating current system, which is today lighting the entire globe.

Tesla astonished the world by demonstrating. the wonders of alternating current electricity at the World
Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. Alternating current became standard power in the 20th Century. This
accomplishment changed the world. He designed the first hydroelectric powerplant in Niagara Falls in 1895, which was
the final victory of alternating current. The achievement was covered widely in the world press, and Tesla was praised
as a hero world wide. King Nikola of Montenegro conferred upon him the Order of Danilo.

Tesla was a pioneer in many fields. The Tesla coil, which he invented in 1891, is widely used today in radio and
television sets and other electronic equipment. That year also marked the date of Tesla's United States citizenship. His
alternating current induction motor is considered one of the ten greatest discoveries of all time. Among his discoveries
are the fluorescent light , laser beam, wireless communications, wireless transmission of electrical energy, remote
control, robotics, Tesla’s turbines and vertical take off aircraft. Tesla is the father of the radio and the modern
electrical transmissions systems. He registered over 700 patents worldwide. His vision included exploration of solar
energy and the power of the sea. He foresaw interplanetary communications and satellites.

Tesla's concept of wireless electricity was used to power ocean liners, destroy warships, run industry and
transportation and send communications instantaneously all over the globe. Many newspapers and periodicals
interviewed Tesla and described his new system for supplying wireless power to run all of the earth's industry.

Because of a dispute between Morgan and Tesla as to the final use of the tower. Morgan withdrew his
funds. The financier's classic comment was, "If anyone can draw on the power, where do we put the meter?"

Nikola Tesla was one of the most celebrated personalities in the American press, in this century. According
to Life Magazine's special issue of September, 1997, Tesla is among the 100 most famous people of the last 1,000
years. He is one of the great men who divert the stream of human history. Tesla's celebrity was in its height at the turn
of the century. His discoveries, inventions and vision had widespread acceptance by the public, the scientific
community and American press. Tesla's discoveries had extensive coverage in the scientific journals, the daily and
weekly press as well as in the foremost literary and intellectual publications of the day. He was the Super Star.

Tesla wrote many autobiographical articles for the prominent journal Electrical Experimenter, collected in the
book, My Inventions. Tesla was gifted with intense powers of visualization and exceptional memory from early youth
on. He was able to fully construct, develop and perfect his inventions completely in his mind before committing them to
paper.

In his speech presenting Tesla with the Edison medal, Vice President Behrend of the Institute of
Electrical Engineers eloquently expressed the following: "Were we to seize and eliminate from our industrial world the
result of Mr. Tesla's work, the wheels of industry would cease to turn, our electric cars and trains would stop, our
towns would be dark and our mills would be idle and dead. His name marks an epoch in the advance of electrical
science." Mr. Behrend ended his speech with a paraphrase of Pope's lines on Newton: "Nature and nature's laws lay
hid by night. God said 'Let Tesla be' and all was light."

“The world will wait a long time for Nikola Tesla’s equal in

achievement and imagination.” E. ARMSTRONG

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.

 Description:
Bitcoin Cash is a split from Bitcoin with a protocol upgrade to fix on-chain capacity. If Bitcoin Cash gets majority of PoW
then it becomes de facto Bitcoin.
It will be a Bitcoin without segwit as soft fork, where upgrades of the protocol are done mainly through hard forks,
without changing the economic rules of the Bitcoin.
This will be a fork of the Bitcoin blockchain, 1:1, so no-premining, no-ico (it is like a full airdrop)

Stellar (XLM) is a completely decentralized consensus platform.

It is designed to support any type of currency.
It has a built in decentralized exchange that can be used to trade any type of currency or asset.

Features & Specifications

 3-5 second confirmation time

 Supports thousands of transactions per second
 Can be used to send or trade any currency, asset, or token.
 Open-source
 Uses SCP rather than Proof of Work. Whitepaper
 Simple, clean API
 Multisig and smart contracts
 Decentralized distributed database
 100B XLM created initially
 1% fixed annual inflation

Coin Distribution
Since the Stellar network doesn't use mining, all the coins exist when the network starts.
The majority of these are held by the non-profit Stellar.org.
Stellar.org is distributing the coins in the following way:

 50B XLM: to be given in small increments to as many people as possible.

 25B XLM: to be given to other businesses and non-profits to reach people that stellar.org wouldn't otherwise be
able to reach through the Direct Signup program.
 20B XLM: to be given to bitcoin and XRP holders (announcement about the details of this coming soon)
 5B XLM: retained by Stellar.org for operations.

More information about the coin distribution can be found here.

How it works
Decentralized network
A decentralized network consists of peers that can run independently of each other.

This means that the Stellar network does not depend on any single entity. The idea is to have as many independent
servers participate in the Stellar network as possible, so that the network will still run successfully even if some servers
fail.
Ledger
Like a traditional ledger, the Stellar ledger records a list of all the balances and transactions belonging to every single
account on the network. A complete copy of the global Stellar ledger is hosted on each server that runs the Stellar
software. Any entity can run a Stellar server.
These servers form a decentralized Stellar network, allowing the ledger to be distributed as widely as possible. The
servers sync and validate the ledger by a mechanism known as consensus.
This entire process of coming to consensus on the Stellar network occurs approximately every 2-5 seconds.
Prof. David Mazières describes the technical process of consensus in his white paper, The Stellar Consensus
Protocol (SCP). You can also explore other resources explaining SCP.
Anchors, trust, and credit
Anchors are simply entities that people trust to hold their deposits and issue credits into the Stellar network for those
deposits. They act as a bridge between different currencies and the Stellar network. All money transactions in the Stellar
network (except the native digital currency of lumens) occur in the form of credit issued by anchors.
Anchors do two simple things:
1) They take your deposit and issue the corresponding credit to your account address on the Stellar ledger.
2) You can make a withdrawal by bringing them credit they issued.
You have to trust the anchor to honor your deposits and withdrawals of credit it has issued.
Anchors exist in the pre-stellar world now. For example, to use Venmo, you deposit money in from your bank account.
Venmo then gives you credit in your Venmo account. You can now send that Venmo credit to anyone that trusts Venmo
(anyone with a Venmo account). Someone that received your Venmo credit can convert it to real money by withdrawing
it to their bank.
Anchors perform the same function in Stellar. The difference is, all the "Venmos” and other anchors are operating on the
same network so they can all transact with each other now – this makes the system way more powerful. People can now
easily send and exchange all these different anchor credits with each other.
Distributed Exchange
The Stellar ledger is able to store offers that people have made to buy or sell currencies. Offers are public commitments
to exchange one type of credit for another at a predetermined rate. The ledger becomes a global marketplace for assets.
All these offers form what is called an orderbook. There is an orderbook for each currency/issuer pair. So if you are
wanting to exchange Virgin Bank/EUR for bitstamp/BTC you look at that particular order book in the ledger to see what
people are buying and selling it for.
This allows people to not only buy and sell currencies in a foreign exchange like manner but also to convert currencies
seamlessly during transactions.
Multi-currency transactions

Stellar allows you to send any currency you hold to anyone else in a different currency through the built-in distributed
exchange. People can receive any currency through an anchor they added.
For example, Amy wants to send Bob euros, using her BTC balance. Stellar will automatically convert her BTC to EUR.
The network will find the best exchange rate for the transaction.

Stellar Development Foundation

Stellar.org (Stellar Development Foundation) is a nonprofit organization that contributes to the Stellar network’s
development and ensures it remains open and accessible to everyone.
Our mission is to connect people to low-cost financial services to fight poverty. We envision a prosperous world where
everyone can improve their own lives through access to affordable payments, credit, and savings accounts.

Forum: http://forum.litecoin.net/

Litecoin is the result of some of us who joined together on IRC in an effort to create a real alternative currency similar to
Bitcoin. We wanted to make a coin that is silver to Bitcoin's gold. Various alternative currencies have come and
gone. Some brought innovation, but they all had problems.

 GeistGeld - Lolcust premined 7.7 million coins. 15 second block time is probably a bit extreme. - Alive, but
limping (~15 gh/s)
 Tenebrix - Lolcust premined 7.7 million coins. CPU proof of work using scrypt is very innovative. Price doing
fairly well on btc-e.com. - Alive (~0.003 gh/s)

Proof of Work

We really liked Tenebrix's Scrypt proof of work. Using Scrypt allows one to mine Litecoin while also mining Bitcoin.

Premines

Litecoin will come with 150 premined coins: just the genesis block and the first 2 blocks to confirm the genesis is
valid. We believe a coin needs to be released in a fair manner.

Having one person (or a group) control a large amount of coins that can be used as they see fit is against the
decentralized vision of Bitcoin.

Yes, it is true that without a stash of premined coins, we will not be able to afford to pay for bounties, but we believe
people will see the virtue of this coin, invest in it as early adopters, and will be willing to spend time creating services to
make this coin better.

Fast transactions

We were impressed by the convenience of SolidCoin's fast transactions. Although we know that fast confirmations are
not necessarily as secure as Bitcoin's slower confirmations, they are very convenient for small merchants who don't need
transactions to be super secure. The average Litecoin block takes 2.5 minutes, one quarter of Bitcoin's 10 minutes. So if
merchants wanted to be as safe as Bitcoin, they can wait for 4 times the number of Litecoin confirmations as compared
to Bitcoin. But most merchants can readily accept 1-confirmed transactions for small amounts of litecoins.

Difficulty retarget // (tsf - suitable for gpu mining) //…

We will keep the retarget block the same as Bitcoin's 2016, but because blocks are found 4 times faster, difficulty will
retarget about every 3.5 days. The combination of fast retarget times and Scrypt proof of work (Litecoin will not
compete with Bitcoin for miners) means we expect to not see the sort of problem Namecoin encountered; hashing power
that leaves more suddenly than it came, causing a high difficulty slog for everyone who stayed.

Coin generation

Miners will generate 50 coins per block. In light of our faster blocks, to properly mimic Bitcoin's generation trajectory,
we needed to change the blocks at which coin generation is halved. Bitcoin generation is halved every 210,000
blocks. Litecoin generation will be halved every 840,000 blocks. For those of you doing the math, Litecoin is scheduled
to produce roughly 4 times as many coins as Bitcoin, about 84 million litecoins.

Fairness

We have come up with a plan that we believe is most fair. Some previous coins were released without Windows binaries
or without source code; we consider this as unfair as it is unsafe.

We released the source code and binaries ahead of time... 3 days before launch. People had time to compile the source
and run the client on their machines against the Litecoin testnet. So people were able to make sure everything was
working well before the launch. We also had a poll so that people can vote for a launch time that best suits them. At
the time of the launch (Oct 12 03:00 GMT), we released the genesis hash and everyone started mining at the same
time. All it took was a simple change in the config file in order to mine the real coin instead of the testnet coin.

51% attack

The problem with alternative currencies is that the network hashrate is likely low when the coin starts up, making an
easy target for any potential 51% attacker. With a little hope, a little prayer, a lot of hype, and due to our innovative
release, there was a large hashrate from minute one. We believe this deterred any attackers from targeting this
chain. As expected, there was a lot of natural orphaning of blocks, due to having so many people mining on the chain at
once. With block locking at every difficulty change, we were able to avoid any attacks from succeeding. (if there were
any)

Source code

The source code is here:

https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin

This is based on the latest Bitcoin code. You can either build the daemon version (litecoind) or you can build the gui
version (Litecoin QT). See the build docs.

Similar to Bitcoin, you may want to create a litecoin.conf file here:

Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Litecoin
Win7: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Litecoin
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Litecoin
Unix: ~/.litecoin

Port is 9333. Open if on your router if you know how. This will allow you to have more than 8 connections.
And default RPC port is 9332. This is the port miners will use to communicate with your client/daemon.

So tell us what you think. Come to the Litecoin forums (http://forum.litecoin.net) or drop by #litecoin or #litecoin-dev
on freenode IRC to chat.

Iota is a brand new and novel micro-transaction cryptotoken optimized for the Internet-of-Things (IoT). Unlike the
complex and heavy blockchains of Bitcoin and the like, which were designed with other uses in mind, Iota is created to
be as lightweight as possible, hence the name "Iota" with emphasis on the ‘IoT’ part.

The number of connected devices that will permeate our modern landscape in the coming decade is estimated to be 50
billion(!) Each of these are designed to make the world a better and more seamless place for us. Tied to this fantastic
promise are of course a ton of obstacles to be overcome, of which one major one is micro-transactions. These connected
IoT devices must be able to automatically pay miniscule amounts to one another in a frictionless manner without having
to compromise on product design by introducing additional hardware. This is why Iota was conceived.

While it was developed as a solution to scalability issues faced in IoT, the underlying protocol is agnostic and can be
applied in any other use-cases that utilize micro-transactions.

In order to achieve these audacious goals Iota’s design diverged radically from blockchain cryptocurrencies. It still
retains the core principle ideas of the distributed consensus blockchain, but in order to be able to scale to the size of the
coming Internet-of-Things ecosystem with tens of billions of devices that are connected to each other, it needed to be
very lightweight and efficient. This problem is solved by Iota’s core innovation: the tangle.

Centralization of control
As history shows, small miners form big groups to reduce variation of the reward. This leads to concentration of power
(computational and political) in hands of few pool operators and gives them ability to apply wide spectrum of policies
(filtering, postponing) on certain transactions. Although there are no known cases where pool operators abused their
power, there have been several instances where the opportunity were present. This possibility in a monetary system
powering a multibillion (in USD) industry is completely unacceptable.

“Obsolete” cryptography
Although large scale quantum computers do not exist yet, future oriented companies have already begun initiating the
steps towards quantum-resistant cryptography. From a security point of view it makes perfect sense to assume that
hardware capable of cracking classical cryptoalgorithms may appear in the very near future, so preparation is the only
defense.

Inability to conduct micropayments

Transaction fees are used to cover miner expenses and mitigate spam-attacks. They also set a threshold on the
minimum amount of a payment below which money transfers become inexpedient.

Partition intolerance
Blockchain-based currencies are unable to survive long-sustained partitioning of the network because this may lead to
reversal of a large number of transactions. It is also impossible to initiate an intentional partitioning in cases when it is
required.

Discrimination of participants
Existing cryptocurrencies are heterogeneous systems with clear separation of roles (transaction issuers, transaction
approvers). Such systems create unavoidable discrimination of some of their elements which in turn creates conflicts
and makes all elements spend resources on conflict resolution.

Scalability limits
Some cryptocurrencies have hard limits on the maximum transaction rate and this limits cannot be removed in a
decentralized manner. A magic number of a limit set before the launch cannot satisfy requirements of a system unless it
is set by a person with extraordinary prediction skill. A too low value may hinder growth of the userbase, a too high
value may open system to different kinds of attacks.

High requirements for hardware

Bitcoin-derived cryptocurrencies use its original script-based approach which allows implementation of a wide range of
use-cases. Other currencies use an approach similar to one used by banks but add extra features. They both
substantially raise requirements for hardware because of complex transaction processing logic.

Unlimited data growth

Storing of all state transitions leads to fast growth of data while does not increase stored balance information
significantly. This inefficiency cannot be removed even with data pruning technique and high popularity of the currency
may lead to its collapse.
Tangle-blockchain interoperability

Iota does not seek to replace the blockchain entirely, it also acts as a supplementation to the current blockchain
ecosystem by acting as a oracle for smart contract platforms like Ethereum and Rootstock. Additionally it increases
security of blockchains by enabling the ability to include checkpoints for transactions.

A Distributed Network of Smart Economy

WEB SITE · WHITE PAPER · REDDIT · TWITTER · SLACK · SOURCE CODE · FAQ

On June 22th, Antshares blockchain, China's first ever original and open source public chain project, has been officially
renamed NEO. Inspired by the same Greek prefix meaning innovation, modernization and youth, the project wishes to
share a similar sentiment. And apparently, one can also take the meaning from the protagonist of ‘Matrix’: Neo, The One
who woke up and changed the world.

With the success of Antshares, we hope that this rebranding can usher in a new age of this blockchain. One that puts
 more emphasis on realizing a smart economy through the use of smart contracts, making registering, distributing
and trading digital assets more intelligent.

Our goal: To be the vanguard in the effort of building a smart economy.

SMART ECONOMY

Digital Assets + Digital Identity + Smart Contracts

Digital Assets:

The main design goal of NEO’s predecessor (Antshares) was ‘Digital Assets for everyone’, to build a digital financial
system bridging the real-world assets. With blockchain technology, the digitization of assets can be decentralised,
trustful, traceable, highly transparent, and free of intermediaries.
Continuing from this original intention, NEO firmly believes that it is an irreversible trend that real-world assets become
digital and programmable. To reach this goal, Antshares takes a very different underlying design:

 Use Digital Certicate to Guarantee Trust

NEO supports digital certificates, solves the potential problem of untrustworthy nodes on a public blockchain. With
digital certificates, one can legally issue assets on the blockchain and be protected by the regulations.

 Original Superconduct trade mechanism

This mechanism makes a trustless digital exchange possible. Support decentralized digital assets exchange. Match
between sellers and buyers will be handled without need for users to deposits anything on the exchange.

On the NEO blockchain, users are able to register, trade, and circulate multiple types of assets. Proving the connection
between digital and physical assets is possible through digital identity. Assets registered through a validated digital
identity are protected by law.

Digital Identities:

Digital identity refers to the identity information of individuals, organizations, and other entities that exist in electronic
form.

For digital identities on blockchains to have rights, they need to be legally authenticated. The most widely accepted
digital identity system is based on the PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) X.509 standard. We will implement a hybrid trust
mechanism supporting X.509 + Web of Trust. Our verification of identity when issuing or using digital identities
includes the use of facial features, fingerprint, voice, SMS and other multi-factor authentication methods.

Smart Contracts:

Smart contracts are automatically executed programs in the blockchain environment. A blockchain system that supports
smart contracts makes it possible for any kind of contracts, rules or instructions to be automated.
The NEO Smart Contract 2.0 (NeoContract) includes the following features: high certainty, high concurrency, and
scalability. The contract types include: validation contracts, function contracts, and application contracts.

 Write Smart Contracts in any language

The difference between NEO Smart Contract 2.0 and Ethereum is that NEO is more intuitive: unlike the original
Solidity language in Ethereum, the NEO smart contract can be used directly by almost any high-level programming
language. Supporting languages such as C#, Java, Go, developers can quickly start developing smart contracts on NEO
blockchain.

 NEO VM lightweight Virtual Stack Machines

 NEO uses a lightweight VM that has short booting time and takes up a small amount of resources. The instructional
setup of the NEO VM includes a series of cryptographic instructions to optimize the execution efficiency of cryptographic
algorithms in Smart Contracts. Both features are very much suitable for short programs such as smart contracts.

Other Features:

 Better Scalability: Distributed Storage Protocol - NeoFS

 Innovative dBFT consensus mechanism

 Cross-chain interoperability protocol -NeoX

 Quantum-computer-proof technology: NeoQS

Ethereum Classic is a project to keep the original censorship-resistant, immutable, decentralized Ethereum

Ideology

We believe in decentralized, censorship-resistant, permissionless, IMMUTABLE blockchains. We believe in the original

vision of Ethereum as a world computer you can't shut down, running irreversible smart contracts. We believe in a
strong separation of concerns, where system forks are only possible in order to correct actual platform bugs, not to bail
out failed contracts and special interests. We believe in censorship-resistant platform that can be actually trusted - by
anyone. Code is law.

Decred solves blockchain governance and rewards you for voting.

What we're building will empower your ideas, give you control over decisions, at lightning fast speed, while protecting
your privacy.

Technology
Decred allows users to seamlessly transition from one set of consensus rules to another. This is a complex problem, as
demonstrated by the difficulties experienced in Bitcoin governance. Decred uses an innovative hybrid proof-of-work
(PoW)/proof-of-stake (PoS) system similar to proof-of-activity (PoA) to solve this problem and gives users of the
currency decision-making power about the set of consensus rules to activate.

This hybridized consensus system is used to strike a balance between miners and users to create a more robust
currency. Typically, the miners who operate the infrastructure wield considerable influence while the users have
relatively little sway. Decred allows users to participate in the project directly without the need for expensive mining
hardware.

Development
Decred fosters a multi-stakeholder development ecosystem that welcomes and empowers participants who want to
improve on existing features or build new tools. Anyone can submit feature proposals, and developers are paid for work
to fulfill requirements in full view of the community. Funding for this work comes directly from the Decred blockchain.

The main Decred development group started as the Bitcoin developers who develop btcsuite, a widely respected Bitcoin
implementation in Go that has been used by several high-profile projects including, but not limited to, BitGo, Factom,
Ethereum, and the Lightning Network. Several of Decred's developers have also been contributors to the core of
OpenBSD, among many other projects. Anyone is free to join development as an individual, a group, or a company - as
many have already!

Community and Principles

Decred is constructing a layered governance organization that extends beyond the miners and users to bring forward
and represent insider and outsider voices in the community. Decentralization is a process, and a decentralized ledger is
only the first step in that process.

The project is bound by the Decred Constitution, so users can know what to expect: a finite number of coins,
decentralized governance and a place to share their views. Decred's community plays an important role in making
decisions, both informally via the Decred infrastructure and formally via the blockchain.

Github Whitepaper

Sia is an actively developed decentralized storage platform. Users all over the world contribute disk storage from their
computers to form a decentralized network. Anybody with siacoins can rent storage from this network, and hosts are
paid for their contributions. A combination of smart contracts, erasure coding, and encryption ensure secure, private,
and reliable decentralized storage. You can download and use Sia today! sia.tech

A smart contract on the blockchain ensures through the use of cryptographic proofs of storage that hosts are only paid
if they keep the file for the entire duration of the contract. Employment of erasure codes such as Reed Solomon codes
guarantees high file uptime even if most of the hosts on the network are unreliable or have frequent outages. All data is
encrypted client-side and padded, preventing hosts from snooping the contents of the files and even from guessing what
the file might be based on the filesize.

The distrubuted nature of the Sia network enables many optimizations in latency, throughput, reliability, and security.
The decentralized nature of the Sia network enables anyone with storage to get paid, lowering the barrier to entry and
reducing the overall price of cloud storage.

The Technology

The foundation of Sia is a proof of work blockchain. Storage contracts are a new type of transaction that get enforced
by the blockchain. Sia's hashing algorithm is blake2b. p2pool and multisig wallets are both supported on Sia.

When a file is uploaded to Sia, a storage contract is created containing the Merkle root of the file, a reward for the
host, and a penalty for the host (both in siacoins). After an agreed-upon duration, the host is required to prove that
the file is still available by providing a random Merkle proof. If the proof is valid, the host is rewarded; otherwise,
the host is penalized. Random numbers are generated deterministically using the most recent block as a seed.

Sia has support for two way payment channels, and two way contract diffs. Among other things, this provides massive
scalability, and eliminates the need for untrustworthy 0-confirmation transactions. Once you join a payment channel
network, all transactions within that network will be instant and final, with no risk of a double spend.

Reliability is achieved by using erasure coding in a massively distributed environment. Erasure coding allows a file to
be split into many pieces, such that the original file can be recovered using only a few of them. For example, you can
take a 50 MB file, break it into 200 pieces that are 1 MB each, and then you can recover the original file from *any* 50
of the pieces. This method has the same overhead as creating 4 complete copies of the file, yet is much more reliable
because it's much less likely that 151 out of 200 hosts will go offline than it is that 4 out of 4 hosts will go
offline.

As the network grows, we will apply statistical analysis to determine the redundancy required to provide 99.9999%
reliability on files. It is likely that 3x overhead is absurd overkill, and statistical analysis will give an accurate
picture of how much overhead is required.

Using 200 hosts to store a file means that downloads can be massively parallel. Even if the average Sia host does not
have quick upload speeds, the massive parallelism enabled by Sia means that downloads will be blazing fast anyway. In
addition, you can choose to connect only to the datacenters that are the closest and the fastest. This optimization
(known as a CDN) is a hugely expensive project for a traditional cloud storage service, but for Sia it is a natural
consequence of the decentralized network.

As security is a top priority of Sia, all encryption is performed locally; the people storing your files will have no
ability to see what you have uploaded. Not only is every file encrypted separately, every *piece* of every file is
encrypted separately, and hosts are not told which pieces are part of the same file.

The Cryptocurrency

Sia uses a new cryptocurrency, called the siacoin. The developers will mine the first 100 blocks or so before releasing
the code + miner to the public. Other than these first blocks, there is no premine for siacoins. The first block
reward will be 300,000 siacoins. Each block reward after that will be one siacoin smaller than the previous block reward
(299,999, then 299,998, and so on). When the block reward reaches 30,000, all remaining blocks will give a 30,000
siacoin reward. The block time is 10 minutes. Each siacoin is composed of 10^24 indivisible units.
 The most important features of Sia can only be accessed by using siacoins. All storage contracts and all Sia payment
channels require owning siacoins. This requirement means that as Sia grows in usage, so too will demand for siacoins.
As demand grows, the price will increase. If Sia is being used for billions of dollars of storage, billions of dollars
of siacoins will be required. The value of the siacoin is inextricably tied to the amount of storage in use on the Sia
network.

Sia has a second cryptocurrency, called the Siafund. 3.9% of all successful storage contract payouts go to the holders
of the siafunds. There are 10,000 siafunds total, and all 10,000 are completely premined. Sia's parent company,
Nebulous
Inc., holds approximately 8750 of these siafunds. The remaining siafunds were sold in a crowdfund which helped to
finance Sia's early development. The primary goal of siafunding is to provide a way to finance the development of Sia
without relying on donations or a premine. More people using Sia means more funding available to hire more
developers.

Standard transactions are not subject to the fee, and neither are failed storage contracts (where the host was offline
or lost the file).

The Business Plan

The long term goal of Sia is to be the backbone storage layer of the Internet. All long term storage will be performed
on Sia. All movies and music will be streamed from Sia. All images will be embedded from Sia. All businesses will use
Sia as a backend for cloud storage. Sia intends to replace Bittorrent, Amazon S3, Amazon Glacier, Microsoft OneDrive,
and all backend cloud storage services. We intend to fully disrupt a many billion dollar industry.

Sia is meant to be a Platform that other applications can build off of. The beta has a first draft API for developers to
use, found here.

Over the next few months, we are focusing on building out the api and creating an example application that replaces
Bittorrent. If you have ideas for things that you want to build which will use Sia, please get in touch with us. Sia is
completely open source, and you can use the API without getting explicit permission or paying any royalties or licensing
fees.

The Future

The promise of Sia is a decentralized network of small datacenters that, taken together, comprise the world's fastest,
cheapest, and most secure cloud storage platform. Today, being a major cloud storage player requires having
datacenters,
building trust within the market, reaching customers, and competing with giants such as Amazon, Google, and Microsoft.
Breaking into this market is a multi-billion dollar endeavor.

Sia changes that, by enabling small, efficient datacenters to sell their storage without market trust and without a
marketing budget. Sia lowers the barrier to entry, and in doing so creates a wealth of cheap storage for its users.
Anyone with an Internet connection and a cheap source of storage can make money.

The long term goal of Sia is to become a serious competitor to existing cloud storage platforms, including Dropbox,
Google Drive, and OneDrive. We envision a future where even massive services such as Netflix and YouTube will use Sia
to
deliver the best user experience to their customers.

We are looking forward to the data storage revolution. Help us make it happen.

ICON is an interconnecting blockchain network. ICON can connect independent blockchains without the use of additional
third-party intermediaries. Various blockchains can communicate with each other through the ICON platform. By
connecting siloed blockchains, ICON aims to become the largest blockchain in existence.

ICON tokens are named ICX. ICX is used as an intermediary currency when transacting amongst the various blockchain
networks. As an inter-chain blockchain, the ICON platform will be able to host other ICOs on the ICON platform.
The ICON ICO will be the largest ICO in Korea. Overall, ICON aims to raise $44M over the span of 2 weeks. The ICO
starts on October 20th, 2017 and ends on November 3rd, 2017. ICON will distribute 400,230,000 ICX which can only be
exchanged with Ethereum (ETH). 1 ETH has a conversion rate of 2,500 ICX (1 ETH = 2,500 ICX).

Metaverse – The First Public Blockchain in China

ABOUT

Metaverse is a leading public blockchain based in China. Designed to facilitate low-cost, convenient transfer of
digitized personal data and assets with unprecedented security and privacy, Metaverse aims to revolutionize
the way financial services and transactions are processed, and to improve outdated and inefficient identity
verification services with a network of Digital Assets, Digital Identities, and Oracle intermediaries.

Ticker: ETP
Total Amount: 100,000,000 ETP
Block Time: 24 seconds
Dev Language: C++
Consensus: PoW+PoS
Allocated to system maintainers (PoW mining): 30 million ETP

The Three Pillars of Metaverse:

1.Digital Assets
Physical assets can be digitized to enhance market efficiency and market value, whilst connected to the
Internet of Value.
2.The Avatar - Digital Identity
Digital identity is an important concept for the exchange of information and assets, connecting people,
companies, and the Internet of Things (IOT).
3.The Oracle – Value Intermediary
Value Intermediaries are the link between the physical world and the virtual digital world. They issue smart
properties on the chain, prove the linkage between physical identities and Avatars, and are the regulatory
bodies that supervise transactions on Metaverse.

Short-term Target:

_______________________________________________________________________________ ________________
____________

We plan to integrate digital identity into the main network.

Digital identity is the general name given to an account’s profile information, corresponding to the master
private key that belongs to a user. Each profile has a unique identifier called DID. There is a one-to-many
relationship between master private keys and digital identities, and any entity (individuals, organizations etc.)
may create a digital identity and bind it with their master private key. Additionally, profiles can also provide
effective chains of proof, allowing users to issue assets on the blockchain and use the authorization and query
functions.

How the digital identity works:

Combined with digital identity, we also put forward the concept of BaaS:
The concept of BaaS was first proposed by Metaverse, that is to say enterprises or individuals can customize
blockchain services for blockchain solutions providers according to their actual needs. Metaverse’s BaaS
framework mainly caters to business users, such as individuals or businesses with transaction or asset
management needs. Business users can no longer be grouped as they traditionally were and hence BaaS
must be able to cater to any digital identity.

The framework of BaaS:

UPDATE: April 3rd new whitepaper released here: http://ravencoin.org/Ravencoin.pdf

Roadmap link: https://github.com/RavenProject/Ravencoin/blob/master/roadmap/README.md

Overview:
Ravencoin was officially launched on January 3rd 2018 with the vision of becoming a community coin, meaning anyone
is able to contribute and add to the project. It is not owned by one individual or a team of developers. As such, while I
am posting this announcement with updated information, I am not the founder nor a developer, just a volunteer that is
looking to help inform the public. This is a new open-source project that anyone can contribute towards with the goal of
utilizing the blockchain to facilitate the transfer of assets.

Most people have a hard time conceptualizing what "assets" are so I'll do my best to try to give examples of assets:
Assets can come in a variety of types, such as financial instruments such as security tokens/stocks/bonds/deeds/etc as
well as gaming items (ex. a sword)/conventional asset management/managing distributions for co-ops/digital
art. There are a lot of real-world applications that this blockchain is intended to disrupt and improve. Ravencoin is
intended to be the rails to these assets and will power the transfer of assets through raven's decentralized trust-less
network, which is why there was no premine/developer reward/etc and was launched fairly to instill trust in the
network.

Development:
The core developers are currently focused on building the asset layer which will allow Ravencoin to facilitate the transfer
of assets. There is a hard-fork planned for the network to implement this additional asset layer in around
October/November 2018 time frame. This hard-fork will not create multiple coins as it will be an upgrade and the
balance that you currently have will be transferred over to the new chain. No additional coins will be given out from the
fork.
The Ravencoin protocol will support RSK / solidity but ALSO have a native capability built in which makes it easier for
many use cases. Additional capabilities will include messaging and dividends. More information to come soon on this
matter. Ravencoin will eventually support new token launches and facilitate exchanging/transferring tokens, its unclear
at this point what the primary use of those tokens will be, but it can be a wide array of purposes.

Core Developers (Discord Username): RavencoinDev, Tron, Chatturga

Advisers: Bruce Fenton
 Contributing companies: Overstock, Medici Ventures
Controlling companies: None
Please consider donating to the community development fund: RBjAZ4fgoXfMC1ujzs7XKreMxJAL1r9fhT (Raven
Address) thank you!

Project Info:
Ravencoin was launched in the interest of fair distribution. Miners from all around the world have added to the network
to create one of the strongest decentralized networks in existence. There is no ICO, no pre-mine, no masternodes, or
any other gimmicky feature, and you can mine RVN using AMD or NVIDIA GPUs. Raven is focused on maintaining a
decentralized network and the core developers have expressed their intent to change the algorithm should an ASIC ever
be launched on Raven's network.

Horizen previously known as ZenCash extended its brand on 22nd August 2018.
Horizen is a platform designed for private communications and private economic activity.
Cutting-edge cryptography and zero knowledge proofs enable fully anonymous peer to peer communications with
Horizen. Horizen's distributed and encrypted networking design is resistant to traffic correlation and metadata analysis.

Why start this project?

Existing cryptocurrencies fall short of being fully anonymous; whether it's from network-level deficiencies or economic
shortcomings. There is no cryptocurrency in existence that guarantees full end-to-end encryption of the distributed
network. Horizen is designed to be fully encrypted as a network and also as a means to send and distribute money.

What is zero-knowledge encryption?

Zero-knowledge encryption allows for undecipherable encrypted communications to propagate throughout the network
while providing protections against denial of service attacks and spamming. Zero-knowledge encryption allows for
private economic activity where the recipient, sender, and amount of activity is kept confidential.

What is Horizen and when was Horizen released?

Horizen was launched May 30th, 2017. previously named as ZenCash

Horizen is a platform for secure communications and for deniable economic activity. It is an evolution of the Zcash
codebase aimed at primarily enabling secure communications and resilient networking. As a platform it enables secure
global messaging, persistent file storage, and private economic activity.

How is Horizen financially supported? Is it a ICO, pre-mine, or etc?

Horizen did not conduct an ICO or a pre-mine. Horizen began as a chainsplit from Zclassic, providing a base of ZEN
owners.

Horizen funds growth using a redirection of a portion of the miner reward, to be spent on Horizen using a community
governance mode. In the Horizen network, 8.5% of the tokens are allocated for community development, marketing,
maintenance, and other costs paid for out of the treasury. This ensures that there are always enough resources available
for growth.

Horizen is a system of products, services, and businesses built around an enabling technology stack employing zero-
knowledge proofs and a core set of beliefs.
As a distributed blockchain system with both public and private transactions, private messaging, fully encrypted
communications, and a social and governance model designed for long term viability, Horizen will contribute to the
human right to privacy and provide the necessary networking infrastructure for people to securely collaborate within a
borderless ecosystem.
