BBQcoin (BQC) Scrypt based cryptocoin

17, Jan 2014

bbqcoin-bqc-scrypt-crypto

BBQCoin (BQC) is a peer-to-peer Internet currency that enables instant payments to anyone in the world. It is based on the Bitcoin protocol but differs from Bitcoin in that it can be efficiently mined with consumer-grade hardware. BBQCoin provides faster transaction confirmations (2.5 minutes on average) and uses memory-hard, scrypt-based mining proof-of-work algorithm to target the regular computers and GPUs most people already have. The BBQCoin network is scheduled to produce 88 million currency units.

Argentum (ARG) Scrypt based cryptocoin

17, Jan 2014

argentum-scrypt-crypto-coin

Argentum (ARG) is the Latin name for the element silver. It is the perfect name to represent this currency and the potential it has with a dedicated development team. Argentum is a fast, unique, anonymous and secure way to make transactions of any size at any time. We didn’t settle for making just another digital currency; instead, we decided to push the limits of what is technologically possible.

Anoncoin (ANC) Scrypt based cryptocoin

17, Jan 2014

anoncoin-anc-scrypt-coin

Why does this project exist? We want to make sure cryptocurrency will still be available for use and trade within the darknets even in the event that the central banks decide to crack down on the bitcoin business on a large scale.

Anoncoin is currently the only cryptocoin that supports the i2p darknet. With the addition of being fully tor compatible there is a huge possibility of hiding in plain sight by transferring coins using the darknets only. This kind of transfer across darknets, exchanges, and “coin mixers” can help you ensure that the coins you received initially either from mining, purchasing, or as payment of services can be fully scrambled and thus not traceable back to your wallet. Even if the blockchain is studied in detail there will be no way to tell which coins belong to what wallet, nor any kind of ID.
