No whitepaper ? No roadmap ? can't find info on team ? Can someone explain where's the value apart from staking ?
Dev is working on whitepaper & roadmap. Posted introduction on slack today:
RAIN
X11 PoW/PoS cryptocurrency supporting environmental research
Abstract
A trustless, unregulated, distributed P2P system utilizing proof-of-work and proof-of-stake as of block 200,000. Multiple hashing algorithms, stealth addresses, and encrypted messaging encapsulate a secure network from which transactions can be made privately, and information can be released anonymously.
Target Audience
We are all scientists. The goal of RAIN is to fund innovation in the IoT world - one which combines technology and nature, to better understand the world around us and better protect the environment from human negligence.
The RAIN Device
Similar to a garden light, RAIN devices can be staked into the ground or water to monitor a given set of data such as oxygen levels, pollutants, temperature, etc. RAIN devices can be configured as 'nodes' from which they send information amongst each node in the mesh, ultimately outputting a streamlined set of data to a pastebin-like site for scientific analysis.
Use cases
RAIN devices can be linked together, placed in the ground or water, and record/monitor data. For example, a stream being polluted by a factory upstream - one can simply place a control device upstream, and a few nodes downstream at different points to monitor any fluctuations in target chemical/temperature/bloom/etc.
On the opposite side of the spectrum, imagine an oil pipeline. RAIN nodes can be placed on the pipeline at a set distance apart, each node transferring RAIN to the next at a set point in time. This transfer would coincide with the flow of gas, and any fluctuations or halting of transactions can point to a leak at a specific location, allowing for quick repair and mitigating environmental damage.
