Burstcoin – An Energy Efficient Cryptocurrency

Burstcoin is a Cryptocurrency that utilizes hard disk space for mining instead of depending on RAM or processing power. So, the more disk space you have, the better mining becomes.
It uses Proof-of-Capacity as a mining method. And the Burstcoin is the first ever Cryptocurrency to use this sort of mining technique. This mining system is almost similar to Proof-of-Work, and instead of processing work, the storage capacity available and manitained is the key factor. And the method is also popular as Proof-of-Space.
Apart from being a Cryptocurrency, Burstcoin has blockchain platform functionalities and features like Crowdfunding, Marketplace, messenger, and cross-chain transactions.
Recently, Burst and Qora (a Cryptocurrency) have established atomic cross-chain swap system. Meaning that anyone willing to exchange one currency for another no longer needs a conventional Cryptocurrency exchange. You can just exchange instantaneously without any delays with the compatible blockchain assets or currencies. Thus, eliminating the need for a trusted third-party.
The platform consists of a layer called the Burst Dymaxion Layer which aids in processing the anonymous transactions. According to the whitepaper presented, the Dymaxion Tangle is a better alternative to the IOTA Tangle Ledger, where they both are directed acyclic graphs.
