Are there any mainstream coins that support something like cancer research or something else that will benefit humanity or are most just flashy non-issue utility shitcoins?

If you are talking about projects  that care about healthcare and livelihood
Then you need to figure out more information on docademic, medichain, hihealth, farmatrust projects as they are focused on health care

You can dyor and get more info

If only I had smerit left to give you... Thanks I will look into them!

I think that not yet. But this is must be very interesting. Need to search more information about medical altcoins that support sth like cancer or smt like that.

I think medicine is too law regulated for any ICO projects to become something more than money grab but DYOR.

i know medichain is one of the projects which works at this field, but there are a lot more now i think

Of course! For Example AidCoin. This coin helps people donate to charity in Africa. In fact, there are a lot of such coins, just do not notice them.

that's interesting, i wonder if there are any regulations already concerning this industry..gonna check out if i can get some clarity on that and report back

did you know what are you talking about dude ? he's asking about Medical project.

about Medical altcoin,
i saw many project created based on that idea,but until now only this one that can be considered as a legit(based on my personal opinion).

No. I would hesitate to call Bitcoin 'mainstream', not to mention the lesser known alts and tokens.



We've seen thousands of ICOs so far and sure, there are few projects related to medical care or research. Not sure about legitimacy of them, could be just a money grab schemes, but here are some examples:

Docademic, ARNA Panacea (https://www.newsbtc.com/2017/09/15/arna-blockchain-cancer-research-solution/), RIK Coin (https://bitcoinexchangeguide.com/riknkt-ico-rik-token/), Foldingcoin, Curecoin

Even before the ICO era, there was GridCoin, which you could mine while providing computing power for scientific research.

i can't really find any information about regulations in medical crypto's, could anyone give me an idea/vision about it? I think this industry is really big and has potential but with some new project got blocked or stopped because of the laws in different countries.

would be much appreciated if someone could shine a light on that part for me. thanks in advance!

Have you ever read their whitepapers? I am sure that they can be very useful if they are adapted for use in innovative medical centres. Medical funds on the blockchain or the base of medical accounting on the blockchain are our future, which will come very soon. Although now they look very funny.

They take on too much responsibility, which greatly affects the final result of the project. For all the time I participated in only one such project - HealthNexus. I hope the project will be successful. Although I guess it could be my big mistake

Though there altcoins related to some aspects of human health like dentacoin which is for dental care but am yet to get to know any existing coins or incoming projects supporting cancer researchs.

To add up to the list above, i want to introduce you to a new upcoming project
Its called STEM CELL INNOVATION and the project is aimed at storing datas, researches regarding transplants amongst others.

Seems you are related to the medical aspect ??

There are few usually about blockchain infrastructure for healthcare but they are really hard things to execute don't have expectation from them in the short term

 I don't think there would be any specific regulations that medical-based cryptos would have to adhere to outside of normal regulations like KYC and so forth, with the exception of HIPAA laws.  Even then as long as the blockchain contains no patient identifiable data then you are set.  But, then again, I am not a lawyer.  Read up on HIPAA, that should at least point you in the right direction, assuming you are US-based.  

Yes, of course. There are some projects in the health sector that implement blockchain system like docademic, farmatrust, etc.
But for now I'm really interested with Virtual Rehab Project (VRH). I have researched for it, and I see they are have a bright future on health sector. You know why? because "Virtual Rehab's evidence-based solution leverages the advancements in virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and blockchain technologies for pain management, prevention of substance use disorders, and rehabilitation of repeat offenders. They will also to offer help and to offer incentives through the use of Virtual Rehab's ERC20 $VRH utility token."

In my opinion VRH is one of the tokens that is very useful for humans, their system can change the world and can even be a good inspiration for other projects. Of course there are also some very useful tokens like VRH (so this coin is not the only one). You can look for other source in here (https://icobench.com/icos/health)

One side is providing computing power for scientific research
Here great article about https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/20/technology/personaltech/donate-your-computers-spare-time-to-science.html
Other side is charity tokens, but i think there can be a lot of scam among them.

Docademic I remember was vouched by JOHN MCAFEE.

I doubt if any of these med projects are going to be used widely but may after 10 years when the adoption of the crypto is achieved. Docademic is the only that comes in my mind when it comes to medical projects but right now the price of this Docademic is even just $0.05 which by its price its obvious the project hasn't yet been developed.

I recall the medical project MediBloc, which developed a single ecosystem in the medical field that will have information about the medical history of each person. At the same time, all data will be in complete safety and confidentiality, and access to information will only be available to the patient. This project modernizes the outdated medical system of storing information about patients.

altcoins are very good now to buy it because the price is so cheap don't we give up on this and some people will definitely not be interested in buying altcoins.
