Metadium is a next-generation blockchain protocol designed to create a decentralized identity ecosystem. Vitalizing the concept of self-sovereign identity enables individuals to exercise total control of their own identity - managing, securing, and utilizing personal data only under the owner’s consent. Metadium aims to present a future in which one can freely and conveniently use one’s own identity data.
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.
