Greenhouse gas emissions have remained a threat to the sustainability of the non-renewable sources of energy currently in use and have become a great concern globally. While many appreciate the role of fossil fuel as a source of energy in global warming, the rate of development and adoption of new more sustainable solutions has been slow. The Zero Carbon project was created with the aim of using blockchain technology to fight emission of greenhouse gases.

Zero Carbon Project
The project aims at creating a market that is more cost effective compared to traditional non-renewable energy sources. Through its platform, the project looks to fasten the pace in reducing global warming while rewarding its users for their contributions towards this goal.

The project is led by Derek Myers who has been working in the energy and financial sectors for over 25 years. His inspiration to use blockchain in designing solutions to lessen carbon emissions came from the transparency and the irreversibility of smart contracts and their potential in holding and transferring value. Current renewable sources of energy such as wind have also been expensive discouraging some from switching from traditional fossil fuels.

The zero carbon project offers reduced prices for switching to more environmentally friendly power sources by taking advantage of international carbon credits and intensely competitive market undercurrents. The project further enhances the cost savings associated with switching to green solutions through Energis tokens which it uses to reward its customers. These tokens are designed to be the main medium for users to transact on the platform. As the number of users on the platform increases, the demand for the Energis tokens in expected to increase therefore increasing its value and reducing the costs for zero carbon energy solutions purchased through the platform.

This market is designed as a hybrid system with some elements of the platform operating off the blockchain with transactions involving Energis tokens settled through the Ethereum blockchain. The market operating off the blockchain has already been built and is set for launch in the UK in October. The platform is also looking to implement raiden and plasma solutions to enable for scaling in processing energies tokens.

Dash was initially released in January 2014. Since its introduction, the currency has gone on to achieve remarkable growth. Dash’s development prioritizes privacy, decentralization, and fast confirmation times. Together, these features make the coin one of the most viable altcoins around today. Dash has managed to solve some of the problems associated with Bitcoin by enhancing financial privacy, boosting transaction times, as well as instituting a decentralized governance and funding system.

That it is currently one of the most popular cryptocurrencies in the world is a testament to how far the Dash currency has come in a short time. Understandably, more and more people are seeking ways to invest in this currency so that they can take advantage of its meteoric rise. One of the ways you can invest in Dash is through mining. Consequently, this article aims to provide a comprehensive guide to Dash mining so that you can start off on the right path.

Like Bitcoin, Dash runs on the blockchain, which means that its security is based on a consensus. As a result, to mine for Dash, you will need to solve complicated math puzzles using dedicated supercomputers and software, after which you show a Proof of Work (PoW) to a network of individuals who then have to consent to the solution provided. If they all approve that the answer is indeed correct, the block will be added to the blockchain, and you will receive Dash coins as a reward.

Nebula is a network system, working under the ETH blockchain. It enables users to get information on decentralized blockchains and smart contracts in the huge cryptocurrency market of more than 2,000 blockchain projects. Nebula is a search engine that acts like ‘google’ for blockchains. However, Nebula’s framework is not the same as Google as they differ in some functionalities. The main difference is the that Google gives users access to day to day internet usage; Nebulas’ users instead, are only able to access information on smart contracts and decentralized applications.

However, the increase in the blockchain projects or self-governing systems and the number of users, make this industry face several challenges.

Maker (MKR) is a cryptocurrency platform in the Ethereum blockchain that sells Dai tokens and seeks to minimize their volatility. This smart contract platform stabilizes the value of the Dai bond through the Collateralized Dept Positions (CDP) platform. The Dai bond is exchanged at a value of one dollar; this brings out its stability feature with several variabilities such as the external market mechanisms and economic incentives. Thus, Dai is on the verge of being the most stable cryptocurrency.

These coins have a stable nature. Thus, they are very useful in some financial markets in the economy such as gambling, international trade, transparent accounting systems and the general financial markets. Hence, there is a great reduction of the huge value fluctuations by mitigating the market risk of crypto-assets as compared to all the other existing cryptocurrencies. Therefore, Dai is less volatile and so, easier for long-term financial planning.

The C++ coded network, Cryptonex, was first developed in 2015. It is a payment system that offers its users a decentralized and secure platform to transact, transfer fiat and cryptocurrencies. The core of the development of the network is the scrypt algorithm. Thus, it is a fast and efficient network that allows mobile phone, debit and credit cards transactions. The token gained massive attention in early December when a number of people received the token in their Ether wallets for free. Sums of up to 1,000 CNX tokens were distributed to various wallets on MyEtherWallet. The problem was later confirmed to be a technical error by Etherdelta exchange. The coin has since seen its price soar to the all-time high of $10 but currently trades at $7.74 after the recent cryptocurrency bloodbath in early February.

The need for computing power in the world has been increasing over the decades. This has drawn scientists and companies alike to research on how to best boost this. However, this research has led to results that do not favor the average person; very high prices for higher computing power, leaving only companies with financial muscle with the ability to access it.

Eventually, these companies got wind of the idea of servers, an idea which revolutionized the entire industry. This allowed such corporations to store vast amounts of data from individuals across the globe. Furthermore, it ensured enough boost for their computational power to process this data. And this was amazing for the companies. However, it once again presented a problem to the individuals who had to store their data on these companies’ platforms; they had to pay a hefty fee because these companies served as hosts as well.

The realization of this problem is what necessitated the creation of Golem (GNT).
