5 Bitcoin Lighting Network Time Function is live! Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority or banks; managing transactions and the issuing of bitcoins is carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin is open-source; its design is public, nobody owns or controls Bitcoin and everyone can take part. Through many of its unique properties, Bitcoin allows exciting uses that could not be covered by any previous payment system. Software developer Alex Bosworth has revealed that he successfully completed the first lightning bitcoin mainnet (not a testing environment) transaction for an online purchase at Bitrefill. He paid his own actual phone bill with no fees, which executed instantly. Bitrefill is an online service that enables users top up their prepaid mobile phone plans with bitcoin and Litecoin with over 600 operators across 150 countries.

6 USA The U.S. Treasury classified bitcoin as a convertible decentralized virtual currency in The Commodity Futures Trading Commission, CFTC, classified bitcoin as a commodity in September Per IRS, bitcoin is taxed as a property. In September 2016, a federal judge ruled that "Bitcoins are funds within the plain meaning of that term. Born in 2009 as World s First Decentralized Digital Currency Works without Banks Purchased Peer to Peer or on a global exchange. Accepted by hundreds of thousands of businesses worldwide like Paypal, Overstock.com and Virgin Atlantic.

7 Ripple (XRP) EXPOLDS! Nov..21 cents Dec..25 cents Jan $3.30 USD The digital coin jumped 29 percent to an all-time high of $3.20 in afternoon trading, according to CoinMarketCap. Ripple, or XRP, now has a market capitalization of $122.7 billion and remains solidly in second place to bitcoin, which has a market value of about $251 billion, the website showed. Ripple has been conducting trials with a number of financial institutions, including American Express and Santander. Its price was also helped by news in December that Japan's SBI Holdings and SBI Ripple Asia, which was formed as a partnership between the two firms in 2016, created a consortium with Japanese credit card companies to utilize blockchain. Total Supply 99,993,173,757 XRP Max Supply 100,000,000,000 XRP xcurrent is a payments processing solution powered by the Interledger Protocol (ILP). The enterprise software solution allows financial institutions to instantly send and receive international payments. The payments include end-to-end tracking and bi-directional messaging, as well as standardized transactions through a Rulebook. xrapid leverages XRP to lower the liquidity costs of payments in emerging markets. xrapid is currently still in development, but the company anticipates more developments over the coming months. xvia is a payments interface available in an API that allows users to send international payments through a bank or payment provider on RippleNet. xvia is also in development and will offer users transparency into their transaction as well as the ability to attach invoices and other rich payment details.

8 Ethereum (ETH or Ether Coin) PROGRAMMABLE CONTRACTS AND MONEY Nov $ Dec $ Jan $1, USD The Ethereum Foundation will offer grants to qualified teams interested in developing blockchain scalability solutions, Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, announced in a recent blog post. This will become a specialized program alongside a more general grant program the Ethereum Foundation will soon release. Subsidy amounts of $50,000 to $1 million will be available, with possibly more for successful projects. Ethereum was proposed in late 2013 by Russian Canadian Vitalik Buterin, a cryptocurrency researcher and programmer. Development was funded by an online crowd sale during July August The system went live on 30 July In 2016, Ethereum was forked into two blockchains, as a result of the collapse of The DAO project, thereby creating Ethereum Classic. Ethereum is an open-source, public, blockchain-based distributed computing platform featuring smart contract (scripting) functionality. It provides a decentralized turing-complete virtual machine, the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), which can execute scripts using an international network of public nodes. Ethereum also provides a cryptocurrency token called "ether", which can be transferred between accounts and used to compensate participant nodes for computations performed. "Gas", an internal transaction pricing mechanism, is used to mitigate spam and allocate resources on the network. Ether is earned per computational step.

9 Ethereum Horizon Ethereum Fog seems to focus on becoming a decentralized computer using fog technology. Fog computing could allow anyone in the world to access a decentralized supercomputer. Regardless of which task it needed to complete, the prices would be kept lower and computing power would be sourced from all over the world. This fork is also meant to solve the scalability issue which has become more apparent in the world of Ethereum over the past few months. Creating a larger decentralized storage network is certainly an option worth exploring, although it will not be all that easy. Ethereum Fog and its native file system, known as EFFS, is scheduled to launch in Q1 of Later on, there will be support for hardware-level decentralized storage, and the decentralized fog storage won t come to market until Q3 of 2018.

10 Bitcoin Cash (BCH ) Bitcoin Clone Nov. - $ Dec. - $1, Jan $2, USD Since its arrival on Aug. 1, the Bitcoin Cash cryptocurrency has more than quadrupled in value from $300 to a price north of $2, Essentially a clone of Bitcoin. the introduction of Bitcoin Cash is necessary to scale for mass adoption as a payment platform. The new cryptocurrency attempts to solve the scaling problem by increasing existing block sizes from 1 MB to 8 MB, thereby increasing the amount of transactions processed per day and improving transaction speed. Bitcoin Cash is a fork of the Bitcoin blockchain which accepts much larger blocks of transactions, intended to provide the Bitcoin network with higher transaction capacity. When will I be able to withdraw Bitcoin Cash from Coinbase? January 1, 2018

11 Cardona (ADA) Layered Currency and Contracts Launched Sept:.018 Jan : $1.25 Greek graduates may soon be able to prove their qualifications by way of a blockchain. GRNET, the national research and education network of Greece, is working on a pilot project with blockchain research and development company IOHK to verify student diplomas on Cardano, a blockchain that launched in September. The project is notable because it is the first official use case of Cardano, a proof-of-stake-based cryptocurrency and soon-to-be smart contract platform currently under development by IOHK. Cardano is a decentralized public blockchain and cryptocurrency project and is fully open source. Cardano is developing a smart contract platform which seeks to deliver more advanced features than any protocol previously developed. It is the first blockchain platform to evolve out of a scientific philosophy and a researchfirst driven approach. The development team consists of a large global collective of expert engineers and researchers. Cardano is home to the Ada cryptocurrency, which can be used to send and receive digital funds. This digital cash represents the future of money, making possible fast, direct transfers that are guaranteed to be secure through the use of cryptography. Cardano is more than just a cryptocurrency, however, it is a technological platform that will be capable of running financial applications currently used every day by individuals, organizations and governments all around the world. The platform is being constructed in layers, which gives the system the flexibility to be more easily maintained and allow for upgrades by way of soft forks. After the settlement layer that will run Ada is complete, a separate computing layer will be built to handle smart contracts, the digital legal agreements that will underpin future commerce and business. Cardano will also run decentralized applications, or dapps, services not controlled by any single party but instead operate on a blockchain.

13 Stellar Lumes (XLM) Digital IOU s Dec cents Jan Move Money Across Borders Quickly, Reliably, And For Fractions Of A Penny! Stellar is a distributed, hybrid blockchain that is fully open-source. It is infrastructure that exists to facilitate cross-asset transfers of value, including payments. With just one integration into the Stellar Network, you will join an open, global financial network where all actors be they people, payment networks, or banks have equal access & economic participation. A decentralized network consists of peers that can run independently of each other. The power to transmit information is distributed among a network of servers, instead of being driven from one primary source. This means that the Stellar network does not depend on any single entity. The idea is to have as many independent servers participate in the Stellar network as possible, so that the network will still run successfully even if some servers fail.

14 TRON (TRX) $ USD (UP TODAY %)! TRON protocol is the blockchain s entertainment system of free content, in which TRX, TRON s coin, is circulated. Its native economic system enables an unprecedented one-on-one interaction between providers of digital entertainment content and ordinary users. Therefore, content providers will no longer need to pay high channel fees to centralized platforms like Google Play and Apple s AppA Store. Also, providers of content such as texts, pictures, videos, and broadcasts, will break the curse that popularity and hits cannot create cash. With the strengths of social network and value network, TRON is committed to ecological prosperity. In relation to any community and free market economy, an incentive system that fairly and reasonably reflects the contributions made by participants is fundamental. TRON will attempt to accurately and transparently measure and motivate relevant participants and contributors using digital assets for the first time, thus enabling this content ecosystem.

15 Litecoin (LTC or Ł) Nov. - $58.88 Dec. - $91.10 Jan $ USD Circulating Supply 54,026,483 LTC Max Supply 84,000,000 LTC Litecoin has some technical improvements over Bitcoin, and most other major cryptocurrencies, such as the adoption of Segregated Witness, and the Lightning Network. These effectively allow a greater number of transactions to be processed by the network in a given time, reducing potential bottlenecks, as seen with Bitcoin. Litecoin also has almost zero payment cost and facilitates payments approximately four times faster than Bitcoin. Originally launched by combining bitcoin code with a debugged version of a failed alt-coin called Fairbrix, Litecoin was "designed to make mining more democratic" than for Bitcoin. After its launch, Litecoin became the second most popular digital currency behind Bitcoin, with a similar bullish price trajectory. However, a variety of missteps, including a Chinese Litecoin ponzi scheme in 2015 undermined LTC acceptance and the digital currency entered a bear market which diminished its position within the cryptocurrency environment.

16 IOTA COIN Nov Dec. - $1.09 Jan $4.13 IOTA GETS LISTED ON COINONE! One of the largest crypto exchanges in South Korea. For the first time ever true micro and even nano-transactions are enabled due to the unique IOTA Tangle architecture, providing developers with a brand new set of tools for their applications in both IoT and Web. This nurtures brand new business opportunities for companies that prohibitive fees has kept in the realm of the impossible until now. Although IOTA is uniquely suited for the Internet-of-Things, the Tangle enables a variety of different use cases that involve secure data transmission, especially for egovernance. An important part of this sector is e-voting. The exploration into this field of use-cases has already begun by several companies and academics. While the whole world has adopted the Sharing Economy in areas like driving and accommodation, IOTA enables a whole new realm where anything with a chip in it can be leased in real time. Most of our belongings stay idle for the vast majority of time that we possess ownership of it, but through IOTA a lot of these things like Appliances, Tools, Drones, ebikes etc. and resources such as computer storage, computational power, WiFi bandwidth etc. can be turned into leasing-services effortlessly. 공식웹사이트 레딧 트위터 공식포럼 공식블로그 아이오타 GitHub 저장소 아이오타슬랙

17 Tangle vs. Blockchain - Iota s blockchain solves the following problems of its blockchain cousin: Centralization of control As history shows, small miners form big groups to reduce variation of the reward. This leads to concentration of power (computational and political) in hands of few pool operators and gives them ability to apply wide spectrum of policies (filtering, postponing) on certain transactions. Although there are no known cases where pool operators abused their power, there have been several instances where the opportunity were present. This possibility in a monetary system powering a multibillion (in USD) industry is completely unacceptable. Obsolete cryptography Although large scale quantum computers do not exist yet, future oriented companies have already begun initiating the steps towards quantum-resistant cryptography. From a security point of view it makes perfect sense to assume that hardware capable of cracking classical cryptoalgorithms may appear in the very near future, so preparation is the only defense. Inability to conduct micropayments Transaction fees are used to cover miner expenses and mitigate spam-attacks. They also set a threshold on the minimum amount of a payment below which money transfers become inexpedient. Partition intolerance Blockchain-based currencies are unable to survive long-sustained partitioning of the network because this may lead to reversal of a large number of transactions. It is also impossible to initiate an intentional partitioning in cases when it is required. Discrimination of participants Existing cryptocurrencies are heterogeneous systems with clear separation of roles (transaction issuers, transaction approvers). Such systems create unavoidable discrimination of some of their elements which in turn creates conflicts and makes all elements spend resources on conflict resolution. Scalability limits Some cryptocurrencies have hard limits on the maximum transaction rate and this limits cannot be removed in a decentralized manner. A magic number of a limit set before the launch cannot satisfy requirements of a system unless it is set by a person with extraordinary prediction skill. A too low value may hinder growth of the userbase, a too high value may open system to different kinds of attacks. High requirements for hardware Bitcoin-derived cryptocurrencies use its original script-based approach which allows implementation of a wide range of use-cases. Other currencies use an approach similar to one used by banks but add extra features. They both substantially raise requirements for hardware because of complex transaction processing logic. Unlimited data growth Storing of all state transitions leads to fast growth of data while does not increase stored balance information significantly. This inefficiency cannot be removed even with data pruning technique and high popularity of the currency may lead to its collapse.
