1. SKYCOIN: A coin that is technically superior to any alt there is. Transactions with zero fees that take approximately two seconds, unlimited transaction rate, no need for miners and block rewards, low power usage, ALL of the bitcoin's technical vulnerabilities fixed, a consensus mechanism superior to anything that exists, resistant to all conceivable threats (government censorship, community infighting, cyber/nuclear/conventional warfare, etc).

- Once coinjoin is implemented and the network is running over skywire, it will have a higher level of privacy than any other coin (more anonymous than zcash/monero and without the overhead). Wannabe drug lords should switch from monero/dash to skycoin after the CXO browser and skywire are available, because all of the ecosystem components are integrated with each other. You could have a decentralized silkroad on skywire and pay seamlessly with the same coin you use to pay for your utilities.

- Numerous peer reviewed whitepapers.

- Skycoin is being developed by legit engineering geniuses, for years (predating Bitcoin’s boom).

- Holding Skycoins generates income in the form of Coin Hours (like NEO’s GAS). There will be a marketplace where Coin Hours are traded and Coin Hours will be used for services within the Skycoin ecosystem.

2. SKYWIRE: A decentralized ISP where you earn coins for forwarding traffic/bandwidth (like Tor but faster, not backdoored by NSA and you are getting paid to run a node), that will give everyone nearly free internet access and will get a lot of users and actually be useful. Different networking protocol than TCP/IP, designed to be immune from literally all currently known network based attacks. Will function as a wireless meshnet spanning over cities once the network backhaul is in place. Will use 5GHz long range antennas reaching 1.2gbps over distances up to 100km.

I got bad feelings about all the successful coins I held early on... especially NEO. Do your own research and take a gamble. Don't buy when Reddit is shilling it.

>> No.7931787

3. SKYLEDGER: A platform that’s their version of Ethereum’s ERC20, but better. Every coin is given their own blockchain and the platform runs on top of the skywire infrastructure. Coins have already started doing ICOs on skyledger (Solarbankers.com, SPACO, etc). About 30 coins lined up so far. There’s a programming language (CX) and it’s not limited to just "smart contracts". Developers of each chain can hardcode whatever they want to do. For example full video games could be embedded on the blockchain, if anyone would want that.

>> No.7931814

4. Then there’s a massive ecosystem of stuff being built on top of the previous three things. Like the sky-messenger, the file sharing/dropbox functionality, distributed social media (sort of like Steemit but running on skycoin’s infrastructure and platform), and DEX and OTC markets for the whole coin family. There’s now about 15 development teams all working on different projects within skycoin’s ecosystem.

That's pretty much it

Skycoin sounds amazing, but I feel like it may just be to large and difficult project to actually succeed.

For their skywire 'be your own' ISP to actually be a success they will need widespread adoption. What do you think the Cable lobbyist and the FCC will do when they catch wind of it? Just way to many hurdles. But it would be magnificent if it did happen.

you get 1 BTC worth of SKY, minus the cost of the miner

I think the reason for the btc/sky trade is because the devs need to raise money for hardware production, and they have a lot of SKY they need to bring into circulation still.

and the reason you dont see people shilling the DIY miners is because nobody wants you buying the orange pis or getting some of their testnet mining rewards

there are over 1k people in the skywire telegram making DIY miners though
