Hello dear cryto community, i have just received an Email from ViaBTC regarding the new hard fork that is going to occur this 20 of January 2018,
They say the coin it will be of cryptonote algorithm, also with the 1:1 airdrop ratio for BTC holders, with the same max supply of 21 millions.
Without Premine or ani ICO
Interesting enough, the only Team behind it is a *Mistery Team*
Ill share some info in here:
one-CPU-one-vote
Bitvote uses CryptoNight algorithm, which responds to Satoshi Nakamoto's vision of one-CPU-one-vote, to balance hashrate distribution, making decentralization a real thing.
BTV Foundation
Bitvote Foundation is a non-profit institution. It aims at promoting the development and maintenance of Bitvote, and supporting the development of related techniques.
Replay Protection
Improved wallet safety and eliminated double hashing problem make complete replay protection come true, which protects users and their tokens from various accidents as well as malicious threats.
Block Size Expansion
The block size is expanded to 8M, and the block also supports segwit. Transaction speed can be improved greatly, so bitcoin network congestion will be completely solved and its practical values will be added.
Lightning Network
There is no need to trust the other party or the third party to achieve real-time and huge amounts of transactions, and payment channels are introduced to enhance the extensibility.
Smart Contract
With the system that has infinite possibilities and the ability to issue assets and establish applications, Bitvote is a token which integrates values and practicability together.
Block Vote
Bitvote employs the scheme of block mark bidding and voting independently. The development direction of the community will be decided by the voting result; thus an autonomous community can be established and divergences can be solved democratically.
For possible security issues i won´t share the website, but you can find it yourself.
What is your opinion on this one?
At least CryptoNote sounds better than Etash isn´t it?
But a 8MB block is going to be hard pushed with a CPU with low upload speed....
