Electroneum (ETN)
The Road To Mass Adoption
It’s common for cryptocurrencies to talk about seeking mass adoption. It’s far less common for them to make tangible progress towards that goal.
Step 1: Finding the users
Electroneum aims for 10s or even 100s of millions of users and has a clearly defined route to market.
We have signed agreements in place giving access to over 100m smartphone users via mobile operators (the companies that provide airtime and data to your smartphone).
Electroneum is also the first cryptocurrency to secure membership of the GSMA as part of our strategy to expand via this sector.
The viral appeal of Electroneum is immense. When a user downloads the Electroneum app they can experience mining their first Electroneum coins straight into their wallet in minutes. By allowing users to earn a handful of ETN coins per month for just being part of the Electroneum community, we can quickly grow Electroneum to be the largest used cryptocurrency in the world.
Step 2: Allowing the users to spend their currency
The key to mass adoption is to not just ensure people can access your currency. You must ensure the currency has utility.
Once users have Electroneum in their wallets they will start to want to experience spending cryptocurrency for the first time. That’s where the second benefit of our partnerships with mobile operators makes all the difference.
Our partners have agreed to begin the process of accepting Electroneum as payment from their customers. We are currently in negotiation with some enormous global brands who have expressed strong interest in adding Electroneum digital payments to the list of “ways to pay”.
We already have signed agreements in place to develop Electroneum payment integration for over 1.2 million agents, dealers and distributors in over 9 countries and have many more in negotiation.
As with all disruptive technology, the market’s entrepreneurial spirit will find ways to accept and use Electroneum as our numbers of users grow into the 10s of millions.
By making our currency available to millions of people, and allowing those people to spend our currency, we’re poised to take cryptocurrency further than it has ever been.

Bytecoin (BCN)
What is Bytecoin?
Bytecoin is a private, decentralized cryptocurrency with open source code that allows everyone to take part in the Bytecoin network development. Privacy and security come naturally from using Bytecoin. The best solution for those who want to keep their financial privacy.
Instant private transactions are provided all around the world by the Bytecoin Network, they are totally untraceable, and they don’t require any additional fees.
Fiat currencies are assigned to specific territories while Bytecoin is bound to the Internet and therefore is international by default.
Bytecoin Specifics
Your can participate in the operation of the network by allocating the computing power of your computer. Due to this mechanism, transaction processing is decentralized, which allows a person to be not only a user, but also a participant.
The decision entirely your choice, you are able to choose to take part in network maintenance and get a reward for it, or buy BCN directly on exchanges.
Bytecoin Transactions
Unlike fiat money transactions, where your money is processed through an intermediary, bank, or financial institution, transactions between Bytecoin users are carried out over the Internet which makes the transactions much more reliable. Transaction privacy is protected by secure cryptographic algorithms whereby no one can identify who sent the money, who the receiver was, and what amount of money was transferred.
Safety and Reliability
The reliability of Bytecoin is defined by the total computational power of all the computers that take part in the processing of transactions. The greater the processing power, the more reliable the network.
In so doing all of the money stored in your wallet is already protected during the transaction process and its safety doesn’t depend on the network’s reliability. Your money is always safe.
Deflation
Bytecoins are gradually getting more expensive over time, since the emission is limited to 184.47 billion BCN. The number of Bytecoin emitted each 120 seconds is slightly decreasing. As a result BCN gains value and the exchange rate increases.
While currencies with sharp decreases of reward per block are exposed to intense declines in network power, Bytecoin emissions are decreasing slowly, which protects the currency from economic shocks.
Emission
The emission of fiat currencies is a closed process where an issuer is engaging in its own capabilities. One can’t take part in the emission process.
Bytecoin emission is an open process which employs the computing powers of all network members. Any user can join the Bytecoin network and take part in the emission process (thus, becoming a miner).
Mining in the network results in the creation of new money, which serves as a reward for users who employ their computing power in order to process transactions.
All transactions are carried out every 120 seconds. The Miners ensure that the transactions are processed correctly and provide cryptographic protection of transactions and personal data. However, miners cannot access users' financial data since Bytecoin protects the identity of the sender and the receiver, and conceals the sum transferred.

PIVX (PIVX)
PIVX is a cutting edge technology, however, with that, it’s also much more that just bits of code and elaborate algorithms. It’s a community. It’s an organically growing network of individuals assembling a set of core principals, beliefs, visions, and ideas, collaborating together to develop PIVX. We are, at the end of the day, a collective of human beings coming together, inputting our various energies, resources, talents, and visions. Some of us are phenomenal coders. Others are expert project managers. Some are new to crypto, while others have been at crypto since the dawning of bitcoin (including the individual involved in the historical “bitcoin pizza” transaction). That said, there are a few folks who were at the core of the project, and from that, the community rapidly grew. As a reminder, often in tech and crypto realms, individuals are known by their “handles” (think nicknames) more than their own names.
Decred (DCR)
Decred is an autonomous digital currency. With a hybrid consensus system, it is built to be a decentralized, sustainable, and self-ruling currency where stakeholders make the rules.
DigiByte (DGB)

ZCoin (XZC)
Zcoin is the first full implementation of the Zerocoin Protocol, which allows users to have complete privacy via Zero-Knowledge cryptographic proofs. It is worth noting that Zcoin is unrelated to other cryptocurrencies utilizing the Zerocash Protocol. Although Zerocash is a development from Zerocoin, their respective implementations are not simple forks of each other, but rely on different cryptographic assumptions with various tradeoffs. Both approaches supplement each other quite nicely, and a good way to describe them would be sibling projects.
