Please explain why you would like to see this coin added to the exchange:

give your personal reason

If this coin has any significant innovations over other coins, please elaborate on them here:


Hybridized proof-of-work proof-of-stake consensus system to strike a balance between miners and voters and create a more robust notion of consensus
 
Blake-256 hashing algorithm – not vulnerable to many of the numerous security issues facing Merkle-Damgård construction-based hashing algorithms such as SHA-256
 
secp256k1 signature scheme for ease of integration into existing software or Ed25519/secp256k1-Schnorr to take advantage of Schnorr signatures and their features
 
Written entirely in Go using a modular, well-documented, and tested codebase for long-term maintainability


Hope this helps Smiley


Submitted, with my own wording on both q's to keep things more interesting for the readers at polo (if indeed they do read every single submission in detail)
