The gene source chain system will create the world's first distributed storage network public chain system that provides genetic data and individual health data. Health and medical providers, including chronic disease management agencies and health counseling providers, can use the Gene Source Chain System to create DApps. These applications will provide users with personalized and accurate health services based on genome and health data, subject to user consent. As a proof of concept, the Gene Source Chain Foundation will also support the creation of a gamified health DApp to help build the ecosystem.
Myriadcoin is the first coin to implement five different Proof-of-Work hashing alrogithm in the same coin, namely Scypt, SHA256D, Qubit, Skein and Groestl. This multiple hashing algorithm serves to make mining fairer and encourage even distribution. Each algorithm has the same chance of solving the next block and has its own independent difficulty while using the same difficulty adjustment method. Each algorithm aims for a block generation time of 2.5 minutes. Any existing CPU,GPU and ASIC miners can be used to mine Myriadcoin. Over the five algorithms, a block should be found on average every 30 seconds. Every 967680 blocks, the block reward halves in order to reduce inflation. Difficulty is adjusted after every block. Myriadcoin was launched on 23 February 2014.
