PacCoin (PAC), or the People’s Alternative Choice Coin, is a lesser-known coin that’s been sitting since 2015. It experienced rapid inflation during 2017, which might be attributed to generous mining rewards. At the start of 2018, PAC had become one of the cheapest cryptocurrency coins out there, with a relatively large total supply of roughly 3.5 trillion coins and a planned cap of 100 trillion. It has a devoted community that hopes to see their holdings come to fruition and make them rich, believing in its future as an “Internet penny” that lends itself to micro-transactions. PACcoins started to trade at 0.0000$ as of only a couple of days ago. Later on, the coin gained some on its price with a couple of increases that helped the price jump from non-existent to existent. After the latest decrease that made the price drop for over –9%. This decrease led to the current price of 0.000031$, which is still better than having the coin traded at 0$. For now, it remains uncertain what will happen with PACcoin and how well this coin will perform after being re-launched three weeks from now. For now, we strongly advise to give this token a thought and consider investing – the price is still too low, so even if the coin drops again, you won’t be losing much money.
What is DAG? In more traditional blockchains, the host provides the food/drinks (i.e resources) for this party. And when the guests arrive, the amount of resources can only accommodate so many people, the portions are small and then everything eventually runs out and the party ends. Think Constellation DAG like a potluck (a party where everyone brings food/drinks). With every added guest (node to the network), the more resources the party has to keep going. This is the nature of Constellation, a distributed system that scales horizontally. Is Constellation a Blockchain? Not exactly. Although inspired by the principles of decentralization, many standard blockchains such as Bitcoin and Ethereum face scalability issues. This is why the next, generation of decentralized networks such as Hashgraph, IOTA, and Constellation have turned to DAG. What is a Microservice? “Microservices” is an approach to application development in which a large application is built as a suite of modular services. Each module supports a specific business goal and uses a simple, well-defined interface to communicate with other sets of services. Uber, for example, is not a singular app purse. It is a unified app which means it is a single interface that brings together their driver app, their rider app, and their corporate team app.
