Nano, a low-latency cryptocurrency built on an innovative block-lattice data structure offering unlimited scalability and no transaction fees. Nano by design is a simple protocol with the sole purpose of being a high-performance cryptocurrency. The Nano protocol can run on low-power hardware, allowing it to be a practical, decentralized cryptocurrency for everyday use. The original Nano (RailBlocks) paper and first beta implementation were published in December, 2014, making it one of the first Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) based cryptocurrencies [6]. Soon after, other DAG cryptocurrencies began to develop, most notably DagCoin/Byteball and IOTA. These DAG-based cryptocurrencies broke the blockchain mold, improving system performance and security. Byteball achieves consensus by relying on a “main-chain” comprised of honest, reputable and user-trusted “witnesses”, while IOTA achieves consensus via the cumulative PoW of stacked transactions. Nano achieves consensus via a balance-weighted vote on conflicting transactions. This consensus system provides quicker, more deterministic transactions while still maintaining a strong, decentralized system. Nano continues this development and has positioned itself as one of the highest performing cryptocurrencies. Nano is a trustless, feeless, low-latency cryptocurrency that utilizes a novel blocklattice structure and delegated Proof of Stake voting. The network requires minimal resources, no high-power mining hardware, and can process high transaction throughput. All of this is achieved by having individual blockchains for each account, eliminating access issues and inefficiencies of a global data-structure. We identified possible attack vectors on the system and presented arguments on how Nano is resistant to these forms of attacks. Check out CoinBureau for the complete review of Nano.
Horyou, is a unique platform for social good, allowing to share ideas, be inspired and help each other. Horyou connects individuals, organizations and entities fostering social good (https://www.horyou.com/). Blockchain is one of the latest revolutionary technologies. It has taken industries by storm and shown a new way of embracing technology with the most advanced concepts of decentralization, inclusion and participation. Blockchain technology holds great promise. However, up until now, a plethora of interests has flooded Blockchain platforms and projects with speculative strategies, driven by greed and speculation rather than vision and passion. At a time when society is facing worldwide challenges including those mentioned within the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, we believe in technological advancements that create a fairer, more inclusive and more sustainable world. So, how can Blockchain be at the service of social good? At Horyou, we believe in Blockchain supporting decentralization and bringing social good everywhere in the world. We call it Blockchain with a Purpose. We're introducing HoryouToken, our utility token built on top of Ethereum Blockchain to fuel the virtuous circle of Horyou interactions. HoryouToken makes it possible for anyone to participate in social good by providing access to a traceable and intelligent philanthropic redistribution service called 'Proof of Impact'.
