‘NHZ’ Development Roadmap & Direction
The following article is intended for everyone to get a glimpse of what the ‘NHZ’ development team is working on, and what features will be implemented into the pre-existing architecture and platform.
The ‘crypto-community’ for the past five years has operated without a lot of attention or recognition from external forces. Only in the past fourteen months has the mainstream media and big business, industry leaders, and government bodies begun to examine what ‘crypto-currency’ is. The source of value to these entities isn’t just the digital currencies; it’s the revolutionary technology that these currencies are built on – The blockchain.
The blockchain is one of the most revolutionary technologies since the introduction of the internet because of its potential applications across multiple pre-existing technologies and infrastructure networks. For example: Electronic voting has been used since the 1960’s, when the system of punch cards was introduced. Since then, the technology has evolved, and in the most recent elections, computers and software have been used to count votes. Throughout the turbulent history of electronic and digital voting, there have been cries of corruption, and rigging. Enter blockchain technology - A public ledger that can’t be bribed, paid off or persuaded by any party. Trusting in a protocol based on mathematical formulas takes the human emotion out of the process, and therefor removes any bias. Blockchain technology brings accountability and order to any system that runs off of it. This is just one example of its potential application, but blockchain technology has the ability to affect everything and everyone.
NHZ’s development team understands this value. When building a coin or a platform, you must consider what your target audience is going to be in a couple years, not in six hours or a couple days after launch. You need to develop around a long term goal, and capturing the market of the future is our goal. With this in mind, we are pleased to announce our official branding with this value at its heart. “NHZ: Professional blockchain asset-exchange services’. Our goal is to provide real-world businesses and industries, small and big, a platform in which they can utilize blockchain technology based services. This concept is the first of its kind, and I predict that this model is what a lot of ‘coins’ that will thrive in the future will be using. The entire markets for crypto-currency and people currently taking advantage of the technologies are very small; much like the early days of the internet. NHZ’s focus is being the first place that businesses who are interested in blockchain based services will look to.
Our development team not only has the technical experience and know how to build a platform & services that can cater to this emerging market, but we also have access to the private networks of people and connections in other real-world businesses and industries to make ‘NHZ’ the first destination that they will look at for implementation of blockchain based services and for their own companies and pre-existing services.
The following project listings are the framework for creating this platform that will be used to attract investors, and businesses alike.

A note on the current distribution model for ‘NHZ’:
Source:
http://explorer.nhzcrypto.org/?page=graphs&graph=nodes Currently, there are over 2500 active nodes, which are paying out 666 ‘NHZ ‘coins every 24 hours. That is 1,665,000 coins every 24 hours. This statistic heavily impacts the distribution rate and time period of the distribution for ‘NHZ’. In the interest of maintaining a long and fair distribution model, the reward amount will be modified in correlation to change in price - Both up and down. The node reward will be reviewed on a weekly basis starting October 4’Th, 2014 and any change will always be announced ahead of the actual change.
Giveaways on social media, and for community work bounties will continue. So be sure to watch for any giveaway or bounty announcement across the ‘NHZ’ social media platforms, and forums. Work bounties are determined on the basis of actual work completed, not work that is promised to be done. “You are paid for what you produce” is the motto.
