QuickSilver: A Pure PoS Coin Catering To The Taxicab Industry

Courtesy of QuickSilver

QSLV Accepted: QQzb1nni2SE3J2EQsWTgJbW9PLG1ZQkW7W

QuickSilver is a next generation cryptocurrency with a unique focus upon winning the taxicab industry by providing improved security and privacy for consumers, and reducing transactions fees for business owners.  The pre-announcement of QuickSilver was unveiled on October 26th, 2014, but the open sourced software was not officially launched to the public until November 5th, 2014.  This followed a successful ICO which raised 173 BitCoin in crowd share funding, which is going towards the development of the infrastructure and branding necessary to bring the project to success.  QuickSilver is lead by Benjamin Harrison, who has been a part of the altcoin community since 2013 and runs his own writing and editing service called CryptoCurrencyEditor.com.


QuickSilver is an innovative altcoin which is a pure Proof of Stake coin, and has an annual stake rate of 6% with a minimum staking age of 4 hours.  The coin was initially designed with a total of 5,000,000 coins, however, after the coins which went unsold in the presale were destroyed via Bittrex, it's total coin supply was reduced to under 3,500,000.


The wallet's user interface is a next generation wallet with several built in functions which surpass the usability of the first generation QT wallets.  Along with the standard, Overview, Send Coins, Receive Coins, Transactions, and Address Book tabs, it contains an in-wallet Statistics tab which displays current network information, and an in-wallet Block Explorer for convenient blockchain search.


The QuickSilver Team is on a mission to establish QSLV as a meaningful form of payment in the multi-billion dollar taxicab industry to further push cryptocurrencies along the road towards mainstream adoption.  Consumers in large cities are becoming increasingly wary of credit card fraud and cash theft, and QuickSilver provides a swift and secure payment method to protect them from these dangers.  A mobile application is under development which will allow consumers to conveniently load QSLV onto their phone, and then make instant one-click payments at the point of sale.  The taxicab drivers are encouraged to adopt QuickSilver as a form of payment as the drastically reduced fees will lower their bottom line due to the avoidance of expensive credit card fees.  Protection from any potential volatility in the market will be provided through instant QSLV to USD transfers, which will be implemented through the mobile app.  Additionally, plans are in place to rollout a taxicab review system, complete with bounties that consumers can earn for taking the time to review a cab.


The simplicity behind QuickSilver allows consumers who are not familiarize with cryptocurrency to utilize cryptocurrency without even realizing it.  QuickSilver has the ability to achieve where BitCoin has failed by making the process simple to use.  Consumers can easily load cash directly into their QSLV account for instant usage, whereas cash to BitCoin conversion is often a multi-step task that often discourages new consumers from adopting cryptocurrency in their everyday lives.  QuickSilver has designed the process to be easy to use for both the consumer and taxicab business operator.


The concept behind QuickSilver is simple and focused, and could grant a big boost for mainstream cryptocurrency adoption when it begins to catch on in the taxicab industry.  For the purposes of establishing a Proof of Concept for the system, the QuickSilver Team is currently focusing the majority of their efforts upon reaching a level of adoption in New York City, however they are simultaneously building strategic relationships in international markets as well.  The QuickSilver Team is building a future where consumers will be able to use the QuickSilver app on their mobile phone to locate, rate, and review, and hire rides from all sorts of transportation services around the world.  Thus QuickSilver's long-term goal is to reach widespread adoption far wider than just the yellow cabs of New York City. 


The ambition behind the QuickSilver Team's project is tempered by their focus upon reaching achievable goals and milestones, thus the project avoids the common pitfall of aiming too high too soon, and so missing any meaningful goals all together.  QuickSilver is backed by a hardworking and transparent developer team who are determined to leverage their experience in business communication and marketing to make QuickSilver a long-term and widespread success.

TitCoin: A SHA256 Based Coin With A TIT In Adult Entertainment


Courtesy of TitCoin

TIT Accepted: 1BQxpDtzjFzKbdvw6U1gwnz8EFuPo3by7x

TitCoin is a next generation cryptocurrency with an unique adult entertainment concept of privacy and anonymity where it matters.  The concept development of TitCoin started in November in 2013, but the open sourced software was not officially launched to the public until June 21st, 2014.  Please do not confuse TitCoin with other adult entertainment related cryptocurrencies such as TittieCoin, TitCoin is not related to TittieCoin and goes by the ticker symbol TIT.  TitCoin is the brain child of fully transparent developers Edward Mansfield and Richard Allen, who saw adult entertainment as the perfect medium to bring digital currency into mainstream use one TIT at a time.


TitCoin is an innovative altcoin that has the SHA256 proof of work algorithm.  There is a total of 69,000,000 coins and a block reward of 69 coins.  The coin has a 60 second block time and difficulty retarget after every block.  In order to help fund development and community support for bounties, there was a small premine of 0.75%, which constitutes to a total of 517,500 coins.  However, the actually premine amount was actually less than expected as shown at block number 7496.


The wallet's user interface is a first generation QT wallet.  The menu tabs includes Overview for viewing balances, Send coins for sending coins, Receive coins for receiving addresses, Transactions for list of transactions, and Address Book for list of wallet addresses.  According to TitCoin, the transactional processing time of TitCoin is under 6 minutes whereas BitCoin can take over a hour to fully complete a transaction, which is not practical in the real world environment especially when users expect to see tits on demand and cannot be bothered with waiting.  


TitCoin markets to the adult industry where many coins cannot actively promote to adult oriented businesses, while TitCoin can because it's an adult coin for adult activities.  TitCoin accepting businesses are actively promoted by the TitCoin team and conveniently serve as the TIT accepting merchant's free marketing partner.  Users can find TIT on multiple payment processing platform in order to easily assimilate accepting TIT as a form of payment in the user's business.  The TitCoin team have been able to gain acceptance by a variety of payment platforms such as CoinPayments, CoinShipIt, CoinToPay and coming soon to Casheer once the mobile app is launched.  Users and merchants are able to find TITs readily available at the tip of their fingers.


One major factor that separates TitCoin from the rest of the pack in Altcoin City is mainstream media coverage.  Most coins are never featured on any mainstream media that's not related to crypto.  Whereas TitCoin has been covered by major publishing media establishments such as CNET, Men's Health, Gizmodo, Times, Money & Tech, Bustle and the list goes on.  TitCoin has gained the attention of businesses that normally do not touch the realm of the adult industry, which makes this an impressive feat by the TitCoin team.  Latest breaking news for the TIT community is the possible partnership with Penthouse Magazine family royalty, Nick Guccione, as well as acquiring a new TitCoin dev team member Patrick "PK" McDonnell, better known in the cypto community as Coyote of Wall Street, for his days as depicted by the movie itself.  Unfortunately Bitcentavo has reported that the Guccione deal has indeed fallen through, but the TitCoin dev team are not drowning in their sorrow or heavenly pair of TITs as they continue to reach out to Larry Flynt from Hustlers Club and other big names in the adult entertainment industry (http://bitcentavo.com/2014/09/24/breaking-news-the-guccionecoin-coin-deal-has-officially-fallen-through-9232014/).  


TitCoin is not your typical altcoin because no other altcoin has been serious about supporting a cause that touches so close to many bedrooms around the world.  You may find this coin to be ambitious because many coins have failed to achieve real world adoption, but you can be certain that this is not your typical pump and dump coin and is a step closer to mass adoption.  You may find TitCoin to be a long term investment.

PinkCoin: A Pure PoS Coin with Breast Cancer Fundraising


Courtesy of PinkCoin

PINK Accepted: PGNk3amqorEAndzddu2itwj1ddHa1Zut31

PinkCoin is a next generation cryptocurrency with an unique real world problem awareness and fundraising concept.  Although its beginning was nothing more than the common pump and dump scheme that Altcoin City is commonly known to be plagued by, PinkCoin was able to rise from the ashes of despair and found a new life in the cruel world of crypto.  Shortly after the original dev abandoned the project, a few community members banded together to revive and nurture PinkCoin to grow to what it is today as seen on the BitcoinTalk forum thread created on May 24th, 2014.  The new and improved PinkCoin dev dream team consists of savvy coding extraordinaire to professional poker players, including in their line up are Sumgye, Tranzium, Fayoling, CryptoCayce, Sonysasankan and Owl on BitcoinTalk forum.


PinkCoin is an innovative altcoin that has the X11 proof of work algorithm, but if you're looking to mine some PINK then you're a little too late because the proof of work phase is over.  There is a total of 380,000,000 coins and is a fully operational proof of stake coin with a 1% annual interest rate.  The coin has a 30 second block time and a minimum age of 8 hours while having a max age of infinity.  PinkCoin relies on community effort and donations because there was no premine or IPO to help fund the project, which makes development a community effort.  Fortunately for PinkCoin, the band of brothers and sisters for PINK did exactly just that.


The wallet's user interface is a first generation QT wallet.  The menu tabs includes Overview for viewing balances, Send coins for sending coins, Receive coins for receiving addresses, Transactions for list of transactions, and Address Book for list of wallet addresses. However do not be fooled by the simplicity of PinkCoin because there is an option for anon technology.  PinkCoin offers a lightning fast anonymous transaction feature that is powered by the Pink Entanglement Engine.  Users will be able to use the Pink Entanglement Engine via the standalone website or within the integrated wallet to send transactions anonymously.  To further support the dev team's street cred in the mean streets of Altcoin City, fellow crypto activist and IT profressional Julian Yap has performed a peer review source code audit of PinkCoin.


PinkCoin serves more than just a crypto business, it is much more than that because anything is possible with coding according to the dev team.  The coding Jedi masters at PinkCoin developed not just your ordinary Twitter tip bot but rather a gamified one, where users can do more than just tip their Twitter friends on Twitter.  Users have the ability to play a game of lottery, blackjack, poker or the good ol' fashion rock, paper, and scissor for PINK.  Recently the dev team released a PINK poker game and even hosted a tournament, which now gives you an option to play poker with PINK against other PINK community members.  However, please proceed with caution since there are professional online poker players in our midst and one of which just sold his million dollar home in Washington for PINK and BTC (http://igaming.org/cryptocurrencies/news/poker-pro-danny-johnson-sells-1mm-house-for-bitcoin/).


As mentioned, PinkCoin is more than just fun and games, it is a business and a big step forward to real world adoption and use.  PinkCoin has strategically formed a partnership with fellow cyrptocurrency Sync, in what they call the Rewards Program although others refer to it as the Whale Program.  Users are encouraged to hold onto a large amount of coins rather than selling them on the exchange in order to reap reward benefits as offered by the program.  As a result, coins are moved from the market in order to reduce the amount of coins in circulation, thus increasing the value of the coins.  Retaining value is vital to any cryptocurrency, but more important for PinkCoin to support their cause of breast cancer awareness.


The PinkCoin team has formulated an ingenious plan to help spread breast cancer awareness while fundraising funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation in order to help fund mammograms for women who are unable to afford testing.  PinkCoin has started a fundraising campaign program to raise $20,000 USD to help support the cause by rewarding users 100 PINK for every dollar donated, that's a whopping 20,000,000 PINK and certainly access into the PINK/SYNC Rewards Club.  The dev team are always looking for various ways to spread awareness and help fundraise for the cause whether it is with crypto or fiat, because every bit helps and can possibly save the life of your beloved.    


PinkCoin is not your typical altcoin because no other altcoin has been serious about supporting a cause that touches so close to home for many.  You may find this coin to be ambitious because many coins have failed to achieve real world adoption, but you can be certain that this is not your typical pump and dump coin.  You may find PinkCoin to be a long term investment.

BitTor: A X13 Based Coin with Integrated Tor Technology


Courtesy of BitTor

BT Accepted: 

BitTor is a next generation cryptocurrency with an unique Tor based privacy development concept.  The open source software was launched on July 7th, 2014 by fully anonymous member of Bitcointalk.org by the name of bittorcrypto, created on July 26th, 2014.  The crypto identity of bittorcrypto remains unknown, but in a way that anonymity makes perfect sense in this case since BitTor's main objective is to have the ultimate Tor based privacy coin and the best place to start is with the dev's anonymity.  The dev team consist of 3 devs, but they are currently in the process of hiring 3 to 4 more team members in order for BitTor to be constantly developed and updated which will allow BitTor to remain competitive and valuable in the crypto community.

BitTor is an innovative altcoin that has the X13 proof of work algorithm with a 120 second block timer.  There is a sense of rarity with BitTor coins because there is a limited total amount of 1,000,000 total coins.  To prevent instamining, the first 150 blocks had a block reward of 0.1 coin.  Whereas the first 600,000 blocks have a block reward of 1 coin, afterwards a 0.5 coin block reward up to block 1,200,000, and finishing off the proof of work phase with a block reward of 0.25 coin up to block 1,600,000.



Currently BitTor is hosting a Twitter giveaway of 2 BT to the first 500 people that follow them on Twitter, retweet the entry post, and send them your BT wallet address via Twitter.  You can start your entry by clicking here (https://twitter.com/BitTorCrypto/status/494471700231503872).

The wallet's user interface is a first generation QT wallet with the standard functions as you would normally see.  However the special features of Tor integration is a feature that is not visible to the eye and is the basis of BitTor.  BitTor is still in development with added privacy features, which would allow an updated wallet a feasible future feature.  There are more features to come and the community is waiting in anticipation.


The concept behind BitTor is based on the Tor's privacy technology, which is the holy grail to anonymity online.  In addition to launching with Tor integration intact, the dev team is also currently developing more  anonymity features to complement the technology.  The dev team plan on promoting Tor related trades with the use of BitTor because they have been avid users of Bitcoin but felt the crypto community needed a coin that stressed the importance of privacy features.  The small premine of 0.3% will be used to further develop privacy features, bounties and giveaways.  In addition to hiring more devs, they are also looking to hire a PR manager to appeal to new investors and keep the community up to date with behind the scenes news on current projects.

BitTor is not your typical altcoin because no other altcoin's existence revolves around the privacy capabilities of Tor.  You may not know what is the finalized road map of this coin due to continued development, but you can be certain that this is not your typical pump and dump coin.  You may find BitTor to be a long term investment.

"Tor (previously an acronym for The Onion Router) is free software for enabling online anonymity and resisting censorship. Tor directs Internet traffic through a free, worldwide, volunteer network consisting of more than five thousand relays to conceal a user's location or usage from anyone conducting network surveillance or traffic analysis. Using Tor makes it more difficult for Internet activity to be traced back to the user: this includes "visits to Web sites, online posts, instant messages, and other communication forms". Tor's use is intended to protect the personal privacy of users, as well as their freedom and ability to conduct confidential communication by keeping their Internet activities from being monitored. An extract of a Top Secret appraisal by the National Security Agency (NSA) characterized Tor as "the King of high secure, low latency Internet anonymity" with "no contenders for the throne in waiting". This system will now be adapted and used in BitTor with the objective of making transactions as anonymous as possible." - bittorcrypto
