That is correct. We are still continuing to develop and work on marketing and partnerships behind the scene. A bit of slow-down during the last 12 months due to team members affected by family covid impacts.

For our main objective, I definitely think we can penetrate the payment market once our key developments are completed. There are not many solutions that have a scalable layer one solution with decentralised marketplace offering / user reputation scoring. With small amounts of investment we can also get our coin added to multiple payment networks that would enable Payment Coin across 10,000s merchants so that is not a concern. We have struck these deals already including several top 30 CMC exchanges which is dependent on further development and raising the required funds. Our main challenge remains turning our research into development output; but we are in a marathon and believe in our roadmap 

Are you interested in crypto and want to be part of a project?

DM to join (all skillsets welcome).

There are several ways to get Payment Coins:

Thanks for using the faucet and trying our product. We are in the phase of solving the chicken and egg problem. Once we go past a certain point the network effect will kick in and miners will be processing at a much higher rate and bring processing times down to minimum. Getting involved now is becoming an early adopter. The future developments will add exponential value.

Thanks for the feedback. The coin spec details have been added back to the first post. We are proud that we have kept the project progressing over the last 3 years through highs and lows. We have kept the faith on our own research and the excitement starts as we start to convert these into new developments. The USP was never in the cloned foundations; that was an experiment. The USP is delivering long overdue crypto breakthroughs to build a better coin.

It is like the story of the Hare and Tortoise. We are a small dedicated team of crypto enthusiasts and our main focus to date has been on research. And in that aspect we have built up some world beating knowledge. This is being now being converted into development. Don't let the scrypt coin history cloud what is coming; it is going to be a game changer.

Our user-base is growing as more people find out about our project; and we now have more community volunteers coming and joining the network; and this will only help the network effect.

As for trading liquidity, this will only improve as we list of additional exchanges. See our note on being approved for several top 50 CoinMarketCap exchanges. The increase in potential volume will be a gamechanger on that front.

It should be noted that while a lot of people need to find and discover our project; what if I told you some of the most influential folks in crypto have already had communications with us; specifically about our Satoshi R&D and what we discovered. If they are curious, it does re-enforce us that we are some form of right direction

We are currently listed on CREX24 and are working to get additional listings this year. If we can increase our userbase too, it gives us a good chance.

2009 -14 : eCash
2014-17  : Transition state: eCash --> SoV
2017-21  : SoV
Future?   :  Back to eCash if BTC reaches stable $1m range OR if decentralised scability is truely solved. I think the elephant in the room is that no project has truely solved decentralised scalability that Satoshi r&d back in 2009. When that breakthru happens a shift back to eCash is very probable as microtransactions are part of the original Bitcoin blueprint.

Just for some fun hosting the script on our site:

You gotta be in it to win it. May the luck be on your side!

Making any top 10 list is a difficult task. Each of the names mentioned help take Bitcoin to the next level. Elon has actually been championing Bitcoin for many years. His reach covers Institutional C-level execs via Tesla, fans and followers of SpaceX, The Boring Company etc. This is a next level bump up for Bitcoin. Slot 10 could have been many folks but Elon fits the current trajectory.  Winklevoss twins are an honourable mention too.

With Bitcoin and the wider crypto ecosystem on fire, it is important to remember the heroes that made it all happen:

01. Satoshi Nakamoto        :  Founder. Spent 4 years developing Bitcoin (2007 - end2010).
02. Hal Finney                   :  First Bitcoin user, supporter and developer
03. Gavin Andresen            :  Selected dev lead by Satoshi Nakamoto
04. The Real DPR               :  Founder of Silkroad! Proved Bitcoin usage on mass scale.
05. BitBoy                         :  Creator of Bitcoin logo. Marketing breakthru & identity.
06. Laszlo Hanyecz             :  Legendary 10,000BTC pizza purchase. Real world eureka moment.
07. Community Developers :  https://bitcoin.org/en/development#bitcoin-core-contributors
08. Andreas Antonopoulos  :  Bitcoin educator and community champion
09. Roger Ver                    :  First generation Bitcoin ecosystem investor
10. Elon Musk                    :  Fourth generation evangelist and community champion

Many thanks to all the key contributors and believers that made the impossible possible!
