Radium is a Proof-of-Stake cryptocurrency that serves as the base blockchain for SmartChain Core which expands the utility of Radium far beyond that of a standard coin, with features such as identity-address linkage, proof-of-existence, file checksum verification and validation, and decentralized elections and voting. All of these features exist in a 100% distributed data-layer within the Radium blockchain.
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.
