[SKY] Skycoin Launch Announcement

[13Darko]

All you need is the seed. Or i´m wrong?

You may keep either a seed or a wallet file. It doesn't really matter.

Is this still being actively developed? A project from the crypto stone age which is still alive would be awesome. We rarely have that.

If you are not prepared to read the line, you shouldn't commit.This isn't a coin for investors, you will not get wealthy away this coin. Investors include absolutely nothing of value to this join. This coin is one of the darknet.Transfer along, absolutely nothing to see here

why is it for the darknet? Doesn't seem to be that anonymous by design, and I've never seen it used either. It's usually bitcoin, monero and dash that are used, the last two being pretty good for anonymity.

Wow, this is an old crypto from 2013. Strange, that I never heard about it. I see its not very popular price wise also. What's the main use of this crypto?

- fastest transactions time ( new consensus algorithm, next generation, competing with IOTA, etc, not PoW/PoS)
- fastest transaction rate of any blockchain tech so far (over 300 transactions/second)
- new blockchain (Skycoin actually has a blockchain, unlike the 400,000 ERC20 tokens doing ICOs)
- new full programming language for blockchain, CX. cx.skycoin.net (Ethereum killer). We can embed full videos games on blockchain, etc
- +300 transactions/second while Bitcoin can only do 6 and Ethereum can only do 30.
- Transactions in second instead of hours/minutes (like Bitcoin/Ethereum).
- eliminates 51% attack with new consensus algorithms (So exchanges cannot lose coins from double spending). A revolution in blockchain consensus.
- Competitor to Ethereum for launching tokens, Skyledger. Each coin gets their own complete, independent blockchain, no 51% attacks and transactions a hundred times faster than Ethereum.
- Applications like Skywire for people to earn/spend Skycoins (mesh network, community internet project, like ToR but users are paid coins for forwarding traffic within the network)
- Distributed social media on top of CXO (competitor to steemit, github.com/skycoin/bbs )
- higher level of transaction privacy than zerocoin but without the slowdown (while still doing over 300 transactions/second), using CoinJoin, UXTX, CoinHour swaps and "send to public key", which eliminate all tracking information from transaction.
- default DEX (decentralized exchange) and OTC market for whole coin family.
- mobile wallet, desktop wallet, web-wallet, hardware wallet. With multi-coin support. Bitcoin/Ethereum ("send to Bitcoin" functionality being added soon).

The big thing will be Skywire.

This is indeed a lot of good stuff Skycoin has to offer. What exactly is Skywire and when will that be finished or implemented?

Make sure you always keep the seed.

Is this still being actively developed? I would be interested in understanding how this works with POS/POW? Are there still known attack vectors that could undermine security of the network? Maybe you already had a discussion about it but I didn't want to look through the whole thread.

Yes, there are tons of things going on. ICOs are being built upon the Skyledger, miner in the works, hardware wallet in the works, etc...

The telegram is very active.

Here is a good article that talks about Obelisk which is the consensus algorithm that is used.

Hi evelwaugh thanks for getting back. What is Skyledger about?

[0gantia]

This project look very interessant. New technology with many promises

What about the circulating supply and the total supply ? The funder own the non-circulating supply or it will be deliver by reward by the network ?

The latest video of SkyLedger is really good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=tI5oknr5big
Very professional, in my opinion. Keep up the good work.

How soon can we expect Skycoin will be traded on new exchanges?

[sporty fan]

Cool project, just watched a youtube video on it.
Will read the thread.

It's really an amazing project. One of the few that tries to solve Bitcoin problems.
Besides I like to invest in platforms, which offer all-in-one thing: Ethereum, NEM, Waves, NEO, etc.

Skycoin will be of the same level, no less. It's just a matter of time when it hits bigger exchanges and developers release SkyWire hardware.
