1. Digiccy is the digital currency. If you look at the ranking of digital currencies in the world in 2018, you can know it as follows:
1. bitcoin / BTC
founder: Nakamoto Tsung
originally proposed by Nakamoto Tsung in 2009, according to the idea of Nakamoto Tsung, we designed and released open source software and built P2P network on it. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system, which once had no more than 10.5 million in four years, and then the total number will be permanently limited to 21 million
2. Ethereum / eth

founder: Geoffrey Welk
it is not only a virtual currency, but also a platform and a programming language, enabling developers to build and release the next generation of distributed applications. Ethereum can be used to program, distribute, guarantee and trade anything: voting, domain names, financial exchanges, crowdfunding, corporate governance, contracts and most agreements, intellectual property, and smart assets that benefit from hardware integration< 3. Ripple / XRP is the base currency of ripple network. It can circulate in the entire ripple network, with a total amount of 100 billion, and graally decreases with the increase of transactions. The operating company of ripple is ripple labs (formerly known as opencoin)
4. Bitcoin cash (BCC) / BCH

founder: Roger ver
bitcoin forked coin. Viabtc, a mining giant owned by bitcoin mainland, has prepared a set of hard forked system based on the original chain of bitcoin
5. EOS

founder: Daniel Larimer
BM (Daniel Larimer), a blockchain architecture platform similar to the operating system, is developed to realize the performance expansion of distributed applications
6. Litteoin / LTC is an internet currency based on peer-to-peer technology and an open source software project under MIT / X11 license. It can help users make instant payments to anyone in the world
7. Stellar

founder: Jed McCaleb
the digital currency project initiated by Jed McCaleb, the former founder of ripple, is used to build a decentralized gateway between digital currency and fiat money. It will be provided to users in the form of free distribution, and its supply online is 100 billion, of which 95% of the amount of star coin is used for free distribution
8. Cardano

founder: Charles hoskinson
the end result of ADA cryptocurrency, which can be used to send and receive digital funds. This kind of digital cash represents the future currency, through the use of encryption technology, can be fast, direct transfer, to ensure its security
9. Tether

founder: Craig sellers
tether USD, a token launched by tether company, is based on the stable value currency USD. Users can query funds on tether platform to ensure transparency. Each TEDA coin is symbolically associated with government supported legal tender< Iota
10, iota

founder: David sonstebo
a crowdfunding project started in 2014, which is a revolutionary transaction settlement and data transfer layer specially designed for the Internet of things. It's based on a new type of distributed ledger, tangle, which is like a blockchain, but it uses a network structure instead of a chain structure, which makes it more scalable and stable.

2. Lightning bitcoin has not been well known because it is a bifurcated coin of bitcoin. Many users in the coin circle instinctively dislike this kind of token. Fork coin has now become synonymous with money and running. But what you may not know is that all bifurcated bitcoin can be called currency in the eyes of foreign regulators. The US SEC only recognizes bitcoin and Ethereum as currencies because they have not concted ICO in public channels. Accordingly, these bifurcated currencies are regarded as currency. And lightning bitcoin is the only one that doesn't pre dig in the fork coin. You can imagine that bitcoin is 100 banknotes issued by a bank, and all kinds of bifurcated banknotes are equivalent to banknotes of different denominations issued by the bank. You may not be able to understand the valuable value of this. When it comes to the circulation of entities, if you are a bifurcated coin of bitcoin, it is easy to pass the government compliance. In short, the reason why the Grand Prince BCH can get through the physical circulation in Japan so quickly is just the light of bitcoin
then why should I say that lightning bitcoin is a great currency experiment? We compare lightning bitcoin to a free economy with three major stakeholders: developers, miners and holders

so far, no blockchain project can effectively govern the three. Why? The reason is very simple. In an ICO project, the developers, coin holders and even miners are the same group. It's easy to understand. Why should he give the best interests to the ICO holders? This is obviously not in line with human nature. The reason why lightning bitcoin dares to do chain governance is related to the issuing mode of lightning bitcoin. LBTC's "governance on the chain" is another attempt to "decentralize", which is also very eye-catching. Dpos mechanism determines that there are 101 nodes in the network. At the same time, unlike pow, the right of choice is in the hands of the coin holder. These nodes will be elected by the vote of the coin holder. When the node does not act, the user can vote out of the network. According to last week's weekly report, LBTC's block browser has also added this function, which can view the operation of nodes in real time. It also paves the way for LBTC's "chain governance". In the LBTC system, all coin holders can vote to decide whether the project development proposal will go or stay, and all members of the organization can participate in the decision-making and operation of the organization. In addition, the 5000 standard of lockup after the election of the lightning node ensures that the node is both a mine pool and a coin holder. In this way, the relationship among miners, developers and users is well balanced, and the foundation of an autonomous organization is formed.

The bitcoin white paper was first published at the end of 2008, when the creators sent it to multiple recipients on an encrypted mailing list. Strangely, its creator pretended to be Satoshi Nakamoto, hiding behind the pseudonym

Another reason for Nakamoto's anonymity can be explained as that the creators of alternative currencies easily put themselves at risk

In 1998, Hawaiian resident Bernard von nohaus created a private currency called free dollar. It has been popular for some time, but its coinage was suddenly raided by the FBI and secret service in 2007. After a criminal lawsuit in 2009, the money was confiscated and Bernard von norhaus was convicted of "making private coins that compete with the official currency of the United States."

In addition, in 2007, a digital currency called e-gold was accused of being illegal because it did not collect enough customer information. Its owner was sentenced to house arrest and the company was shut down. The arrest of entrepreneurs in alternative currencies by government agencies may have been a factor in China's decision to remain anonymous

everyone can use bitcoin. This means it can be used to pay for legal and illegal services, as well as legal bids however, it has always been a popular payment method in the black net market. Ross Ulbricht, the notorious dark Internet market maker and operator, was jailed for facilitating the trading of drugs and other contraband

Ross Ulbricht appealed to the US Supreme Court in December 2017, but is still in prison. If Nakamoto reveals his true identity, it can be inferred that he may face a similar fate

who would he be

in 2016, Craig Wright, an Australian programmer, claimed to be Chinese. He provided some evidence, but later found that it was not conclusive because it could be obtained publicly from books. He was also accused of falsifying announcements and blog posts to show his real Chinese version. For example, vitalik buterin, founder of Ethereum, recently called Craig white a liar

The other is Hal Finney. He is a famous cryptopunk and Cryptologist. He was also the first person to receive bitcoin from Nakamoto in 2009. He was also the first to download a bitcoin client. Before his death in 2014, however, Hal fini refuted the claim that he was Chinese

Some people think that Nick Saab, a famous Cryptologist, may be Nakamoto. Before the launch of bitcoin, he designed the architecture of distributed digital currency, which he called bitcoin. Although the architecture has never been moved, it is similar to the design of bitcoin. This led to widespread speculation. But he repeatedly denied it

although the real identity of Nakamoto may never be disclosed, it is important that the operation of the technology will not be affected
