Halcyon, a relatively new but very successful altcoin, is leading the way in Altcoin anonymous transaction innovation. Halcyon has created the world’s first decentralized peer-to-peer mixing service which can make transactions increidbly anonymous. I got a chance to interview the lead developer of the coin about some of the aspects and future plans.

My name is HAL9000 and I am the lead developer for Halcyon Coin and other Halcyon-related initiatives.WHAT SETS HALCYON COIN APART FROM OTHER ALTCOINS?
Halcyon Coin (HAL) is definitively set apart from other altcoins in that it delivers the world’s first decentralized peer-to-peer mixing service. Our unique Peersend technology uses a top-level layer to provide true economic anonymity and security. Upon suggestion of the Halcyon community, Peersend code received a thorough peer review by respected developer Dan Metcalf (XC Coin). Having fulfilled each promise of its ambitious development roadmap, Halcyon continues to deliver new features at an unprecedented rate. Recent releases have included a whitepaper, a press release and an info-graphic that uses common language to make sense of Peersend technology. Launching without issue on August 16th 2014, mining extraction was set to last for 14 days, yet significant domestic and international demand (particularly from China) completed the Proof of Work phase within only 8 days. Leading cryptoexchanges, Bittrex and Cryptsy, were quick to list Halcyon, creating significant volume and achieving a $300,000 USD market cap within 72 hours.
Halcyon continues to drive significant volume, an observation verified by Richie Lai, owner of Bittrex.com: “Halcyon launched with impressive volume, while the community interest has been favourable. It has been one of our top performers every day” Halcyon’s market strength and commercial potential has led it to be one of only five recognized currencies at the webshop AltcoinWarehouse.Read the full Interview at:
