Created on October 26th, 2012, TRC is one of the oldest cryptocoins in existence. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, TRC is decentralized meaning there is no central bank. The Terracoin Foundation is dedicated to helping the world through donations. Decentralized governance allows masternode owners to control the future of TRC.
Mastercoin / Omni is a digital currency built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain. Its features include the development of a decentralised exchange and the implementation of smart property and savings wallet. The Master Protocol facilitates the creation and trading of smart properties and user currencies as well as other types of smart contracts. Mastercoin enables the Bitcoin eco-system to become more decentralized. The Mastercoin project was launched on 31 July 2013 with a one-month long fundraiser. Those interested in obtaining Mastercoin may send bitcoin to an 'Exodus Address' where the funds collected would be used to fund the development of Mastercoin. Around 500 people invested in Mastercoin sending roughly 5000 bitcoins to the Mastercoin project.
