Syscoin is “a global network, a distributed ledger, a decentralized database and a blockchain. It is also a cryptocurrency, an altcoin, a digital currency and a tradable token.” Originally launched in late 2014 and created through a Bitcoin fork, the current version brings us to Syscoin 2.1 and has an algorithm that allows it to be merge-mined with Bitcoin. Merge mining is simply the ability for miners to simultaneously mine two different cryptocurrencies based on the same algorithm. The project attempts to remove the middleman and put money directly back into merchants/consumers hands, eliminating hefty fees currently charged by big corporations like Amazon and eBay. To facilitate near-zero fee transactions, you can use its native cryptocurrency, Syscoin (SYS), to pay for goods on the marketplace. However, you can also pay using alternate cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Zcash. Syscoin is led by a team of developers and was created by its current core developer, Sebastian Schepis. According to Proof of Developer, a website that verifies, evaluates, and ranks developer teams, Syscoin received 5 stars in 2014. Blockchain Foundry maintains Syscoin as its flagship product, with a mission to “disrupt markets by leveraging the potential of blockchain technology”. In March of 2017, Blockchain Foundry partnered with the Microsoft Azure ecosystem and is one of the founding members of the Digital Identity Foundation (DIF). Other founding members of the DIF include the likes of corporate giants such as Microsoft, Accenture, ConsenSys, and more. Syscoin’s blockchain delivers faster speeds along with lower transaction fees than its predecessor, Bitcoin. It can support 750 tps, and with the upcoming masternode release, it will support more than 300,000 tps. For now, it’s one of the cheapest cryptocurrencies regarding transaction fees (behind zero-fee transaction cryptocurrencies such as NEO and NANO), even cheaper than XRP.' Some of the features highlighted on the SysCoin website includes :- 1. Buy/Selling goods on the blockchain 2. Brokerage on the blockchain 3. Issue and trade certificates on the blockchain 4. Merged Mining
Content: We hope to, basing on the technology of block chain, adopting unique non-tamper distributed ledger characteristics of the block chain, build the traceability cloud platform, solve the enterprise's difficulties in information traceability, anti-counterfeit, verification and mobile marketing during commodity production, circulation and distribution and terminal consumption process through the sub-chain of the landing project and corresponding DAPP application, and provide a fast and efficient cluster of cloud services development for the technical developers, so as to solve the problem of 'trusted' for brand enterprises and consumers, and then build a new block chain ecosystem ---Traceability Chain as the future world-selectable internet value transmission protocol, and push forward the practicability and usability of the whole block chain industry. As the most promising block chain ecosystem, it perfectly combines the advantages of Ethereum and Bitshares. Traceability Chain will also constantly and gradually form the block chain economy through the construction of the foundation platform, the design and development of the software and hardware products, the development of various products and the development and iteration of the commercial landing project, improve the industry efficiency, and promote the effective and collaborative development of the society.
