Only 138 days ago, we announced the PoC Consortium Stage 1: BURST
In this we said
"We came to lead BURST to its rightful place among other
cryptocurrencies"
Today, we can speak openly about where we think that place is.
We started the process by which BURST will inherit the best traits and
technologies of the most promising cryptocurrencies. The combination
of these technologies will result in significant synergistic
gains - the whole being more than the sum of its parts.
The Burst Dymaxion is an arbitrary scalable, energy efficient and
anonymous transaction network based on colored tangles.
It consists of Dymaxion layers - basically tangle-based lightning
networks - that are above the Burst blockchain which is used for
bookkeeping the opening and closing of these layers.
Read the white paper here:
http://package.cryptoguru.org/asset/The-Burst-Dymaxion-1.00.pdfWe therefore present nothing short of an energy-efficient
cryptocurrency that is able to sustain the total global load of
non-cash transactions.
We chose to implement the Dymaxion on the Burstcoin network for
several reasons. First and foremost, we believe that its
Proof-of-Capacity (PoC) consensus algorithm is currently the best
answer to the energy consumption problems of Proof-of-Work and to the
centralization and fairness issues of Proof-of-Stake. Burst also
implements data scrubbing to reduce blockchain bloat. Moreover, Burst
has smart contracts and is able to make Atomic Cross-Chain
Transactions. The coin has more than three years of heritage and a
community to bootstrap with, yet it is small enough to allow for
significant improvements without a long and paralyzing scaling debate.
In the past months, we worked hard to prepare the Burst wallet for
this herculean task. We were given the baton of responsibility for
core wallet development by the former development group, burst-team.
We are honored by this sign of trust and invite everyone to join the
Burst community on its way to the very top. Because for an
energy-efficient cryptocurrency with truly global scalability, there
is no other place to be.
