THELOGICALINDIAN - Coming off a rather slump anniversary at the markets with best of the top cryptocurrencies artlessly captivation or accident arena I anticipation Id booty the time to awning one of the few that has absolutely managed to accretion in amount over the accomplished 7 days
Up an absorbing 58.29% this week, Viacoin ranks 22nd in all-embracing bazaar cap with 4,282 BTC (or 2,048,981 USD). While at aboriginal glance there are mostly apparent differences amid Viacoin and BTC the developers assume to accept some absorbing abstruse appearance which may (or may not) annual for the actuality that it seems to be acrimonious up beef while the blow of the bazaar seems to be demography a breather.
For starters they’ve got faster transaction times as a aftereffect of ambience their block time to a abating quick 24 seconds. While that ability assume abounding and apparent at aboriginal glance, all one has to do is brainstorm a merchant banishment it’s barter to delay about while a 10 minute BTC transaction clears and it’s accessible to see why faster block times ability become an adorable affection in the marketplace.
However, it’ll booty added than authentic acceleration to accretion bazaar share. The developers at Viacoin of advance admit this and accept added appearance to offer. The best absorbing of which is a Clearinghouse, based on the CounterParty agreement which by active on it’s own blockchain and by advantage of it’s 24 additional block time offers “the actual advantages of actuality faster, cheaper and chargeless of bitcoin politics”. Whether or not that opens them up to an advance by a crank botnet or not charcoal to be apparent but with a accepted mining hashrate of 13.29 GH/S that ability additionally be an allurement for home miners who appear to be able of mining scrypt to jump on board.
Having the adeptness to actualize you own tokens and assets by application Viacoins counterparty token, XCH is at the absolute atomic an another alms to CounterParty’s XCP based system. How the two systems alter in absolute convenance and acceptance does not assume anon bright to me at this time but both are advantageous technologies that I brainstorm seeing put to use in agitative and admirable means in the abreast future.
Now whether or not Viacoin’s approved and accurate proof-of-work arrangement has been out-shined by some of the added alien offerings on the bazaar today (such as BitsharesX’s delegated affidavit of stake, which in my assessment is the best adult accord arrangement yet devised) charcoal to be seen. The actuality of the amount is, the better best acknowledged cryptocurrency in the apple currently uses a affidavit of assignment system. So we can at atomic advance that it’s been added action activated than any added arrangement currently on offer.
Unlike Bitcoin though, Viacoin has created systems advised to cut bottomward on “Blockchain Bloat” and “allows the architecture of absolutely decentralized exchanges, arising of new currencies, asset tracking, betting, agenda voting, acceptability administration and alike anatomy the base of absolutely decentralized marketplaces”. For some, these kinds of “pie in the sky” assertions can generally be off putting but for now, the bazaar has at atomic absitively to nudge Viacoin a bit added appear the top. While bazaar armament are far from infallible, as the old adage goes “money talks, b*llshit walks” and Viacoin is speaking a little bit louder this week.
