ALQO - the German Antwort to Blockchain
ALQO Cryptocurrency - join the revolution
ALQO is a new cryptocurrency, which recently (01.11.2017) launched it's live Main-Net - and is already listed on some exchanges. The development team comes from Germany - and they are here to change the crypto-world!
What is ALQO
Let us have a look at their announcement thread:
Alqo is a universal 3rd generation cryptocurrency that combines the best features of different coins
in order to create an excellent new digital payment asset.The purpose of Alqo is versatility.
We believe that having hundreds of different coins shows that there is
a need for adaptability in crypto currencies which we will fill with very fast and sophisticated development.
This being said the first steps of Alqo will be setting up a foundation for this vast goal, and after that
adding all the tools and characteristics that are needed.The myriad of cryptocurrencies in the market, reflects a clear and urgent need for an adaptable cryptocurrency
that grows and evolves with the needs of the ecosystem.It is with this goal in mind that Alqo was created.
Whitepaper
Big words from a totally unknown dev-team - but saying totally unknown... who knows Satoshi Nakamoto? Period!
Specs
The specs of ALQO are quite stable, presenting a new, not yet known mining algorithm, which is said to be ASIC resistant:
- PoW Algorithm: Quark
- Premine: (#1 Block) 100,001 ALQO (0,17% of PoW) For 10 Masternodes, going to be burned after 1 year.
- PoW Blocks: 2 - 475200
- PoS Blocks: Starting from 475201
- Block Time: 60 Seconds
- PoW Max Coin Output/Supply: 57,879,300
- PoW ending: In ~ ca. 290 Days
- Masternode requirements: 10,000 ALQO
- Maturity: 111 Confirmations
- Prefix: ALQO adresses start with the capital letter "A"
Why will ALQO succeed?
German tech always succeeds? Hmm... ok, we are good at building machines, cars and other tech-stuff. We play the best football ;) and we are doing quite well, but Germany is lacking of HighEnd Software-Development (others than boring SAP!)- though Germans like to play economic simulators... so - closing the gap in fintech is just a matter of time - and at the moment there are some German teams doing good jobs.
For ALQO I can only see positive signals: active community, good targets, living repository. The Dev-Team increases and the discord channel is visited by helpful community members.
Some Points for ALQO:
- Larger and Faster Blocks ALQO relies on a block size of 4MB and a block time of 60 seconds. This effectively allows ALQO to
handle a transaction volume 40x greater than Bitcoin’s. - Flexible Blocksize Roughly 1 year into ALQO´s life cycle, the network will switch from a consensus algorithm of mining-driven
Proof of Work to staking-driven Proof of Stake. Upon this second stage, the protocol will switch to a dynamic blocksize that will
adjust in size to any increase in transaction volume. If the network detects that more and more transactions are stuck in the
unconfirmed queue (known as the mempool) it will dynamically increase the size of the subsequent blocks to handle the increase
in transaction volume. This is the equivalent of a mining difficulty algorithm applied to block sizes. - Masternodes The ALQO network constitutes a 2-tier architecture, where the first tier is the protocol level, mining and staking and
the blockchain itself. The second layer is its masternode array, being a large network of high availability dedicated servers
operated by users. These users provide enhanced services to the network (such as faster transactions, anonymous transactions,
voting validation and others) as well as contain a full copy of the blockchain.
There is light in the darkness of cryptos! ALQO!
