Israel-based Start-up is Building its Own Blockchain Protocol that Removes Miners

2018-9-19 17:12

The Trustchain addresses the classical problems of cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, namely its scalability, speed and transaction costs.

Currently, most cryptocurrencies are based on blockchains that require each transaction to be confirmed by miners. COTI has architected a new blockchain based on DAG data structures. DAG is block-less blockchains where there are no miners or blocks. Each new transaction is validated by two previous transactions to be added to the Trustchain. As a result, networks built on the Trustchain will be able to process tens of thousands transactions-per-second (TPS), according to COTI.

Removing miners on the Trustchain will also dispel the use of computing power and remove the abundance of energy consumption. On the Trustchain, users who consistently receive minimal or no complaints for their activity receive higher positive scores. As a reward, they face lower fees for using the Trustchain. Those with spotless records will be charged zero fees by the system.

The company states that it has already signed up 80,000 users, 5,000 merchants and achieved application on POS terminals worldwide.

Shahaf Bar-Geffen, CEO of COTI, commented:

“We are launching the world’s first protocol that is actually optimized for payments and stable coins, with a belief that developers and enterprises will build groundbreaking applications on our platform. For cryptocurrencies to reach their true potential, they must become a cheaper, quicker and easier means of payment than they are currently. Unfortunately, any blockchains that rely on confirmations from miners will never be truly scalable. This [the Trustchain] will set the standard for next-generation payment solutions and stable coins that is safe, easy to use, instant and cost-effective.”

About COTI

COTI is the world’s first blockchain platform optimized for decentralized payments, designed for use by merchants, governments, decentralized payment networks and stable coin issuers.

Most of today’s blockchain platforms are optimized for dApps and not for payments. They also don’t provide the infrastructure and the tools required for everyday transactional use. This in addition to possessing numerous challenges related to identity, trust, stability, scalability and high transaction costs, which deter the adoption of cryptocurrencies for mainstream use.

Governance, Part 2: Plutocracy Is Still Bad

Coin holder voting, both for governance of technical features, and for more extensive use cases like deciding who runs validator nodes and who receives money from development bounty funds, is unfortunately continuing to be popular, and so it seems worthwhile for me to write another post explaining why I (and Vlad Zamfir and others) do not consider it wise for Ethereum (or really, any base-layer blockchain) to start adopting these kinds of mechanisms in a tightly coupled form in any significant way.

Notes on Blockchain Governance

In which I argue that “tightly coupled” on-chain voting is overrated, the status quo of “informal governance” as practiced by Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Zcash and similar systems is much less bad than commonly thought, that people who think that the purpose of blockchains is to completely expunge soft mushy human intuitions and feelings in favor of completely algorithmic governance (emphasis on “completely”) are absolutely crazy, and loosely coupled voting as done by Carbonvotes and similar systems is underrated, as well as describe what framework should be used when thinking about blockchain governance in the first place.

The Genesis Files: With Bit Gold, Szabo Was Inches Away From Inventing Bitcoin

As his Hungarian parents had fled post-war Soviet regime to settle in the United States, Nick Szabo came to call the Californian Bay area of the 1990s his home. Here, he was among the first to frequent the in-person “Cypherpunk” meetings organized by Timothy May, Eric Hughes and other founding members of the collective of cryptographers, programmers and privacy activists centered around the ’90s mailing list of the same name.

‘Miners Are Miners Again’: Bitcoin Core Dev Launches Alternative Mining Protocol

Bitcoin core developer Matt Corallo has launched a mining pool which aims to increase decentralization as Bitcoin mining becomes increasingly monopolized. Corallo: Miners ‘Have No Control’ Beginning June 25 but still with what Corallo describes as “vulnerabilities,” the pool uses BetterHash, a protocol which seeks to offer mining pool users the option to use their own block templates rather than those prescribed by pool owners.
