Cardano is the first blockchain project to be built on peer reviewed academic research.
This level of scrutiny of the underlying technology is an industry first. Further to this, Cardano is unique in that it’s written in the Haskell coding language.
Haskell is considered to be one of the most secure programming languages, minimizing the number of errors and adding extremely robust security to the platform. This includes use of a technique called formal verification, which allows mathematical proof of the correctness of code.
Cardano is also designed to operate in regulated industries whilst protecting individual privacy. Applications built on Cardano can be individually customised to meet regulator requirements, but individuals can protect their privacy by choosing whether they want to enter regulated domains.
Cardano has a very strong academic heritage and is the first cryptocurrency to have one of its academic papers accepted at Crypto 2017, the leading cryptography conference. IOHK have research centres or partnerships with many of the top global academic institutions including the University of Edinburgh and the Tokyo Institute of Technology.
Cardano is a 3rd generation protocol, built with peer review and high assurance standards; backed by a very large international team that is very well funded.

Cardano is a blockchain platform with more advanced features than any protocol yet developed, and the first to evolve out of a scientific philosophy.

Perhaps the biggest threat Cardano poses to Ethereum is that its innovations in language and VM design address the security concerns that are Ethereum’s Achilles’ heel. Exploits of Solidity vulnerabilities have resulted in significant loss of funds and created crises for the Ethereum community. As long as Solidity remains Ethereum’s only viable option for writing smart contracts, all Ethereum contracts will be subject to the risk of exploit and the community will be limited to reactive solutions, such as relying on white hat hackers to rescue funds and enacting bail out hard forks. This situation is only acceptable because an alternative platform offering preventive solutions does not exist today. With IELE, Simon, and Plutus, Cardano is designed from the ground up to enable formal verification tools that can eliminate vulnerabilities before they are deployed. If Ethereum cannot solve its vulnerability problem before Cardano delivers a better alternative it may lose its position of dominance to a more secure platform. However, Cardano has lot of work to do before it can be considered a viable alternative platform, so there is still plenty of time for Ethereum to adapt.

The Cardano project promises to bring several innovations to the smart contracts platform space. It is working with professors from universities around the world to incorporate peer reviewed academic research into its design, more so than any platform we’ve looked at thus far, including Ethereum. It has developed a “provably secure” proof of stake protocol that should work well in permissioned networks and may work well enough for a public, global, permisionless blockchain. It is trying to improve on the perceived shortcomings of Bitcoin and Ethereum governance, while borrowing governance ideas from other blockchains. Its verification-focused design of a smart contracts platform could provide a demonstrably more secure alternative to Ethereum.

I've created a new cryptocurrency, xCoin, which can currently easily be mined using a CPU.

I haven't got around to creating the Windows application yet but it's available for Mac and Linux.

You get 256 XCOIN for each block mined.

Here's the website: hxxp://www.xcoinproject.com

Hi , It has been an exciting weekend for Cardano and we are delighted to let you know about the latest IOHK Cardano whiteboard.
These have proved incredibly popular and provide valuable background to Cardano and allow you to learn in more detail, what Cardano is about.
The newest whiteboard is with Prof. Aggelos Kiayias, Chief Scientist. Developing Cardano is no small feat. There is no other project that has ever been built to these parameters, combining peer reviewed cryptographic research with an implementation in highly secure Haskell code. This is not the copy and paste code seen in so many other blockchains.

Instead, Cardano was designed with input from a large global team including leading experts and professors in the fields of computer programming languages, network design and cryptography.

Cardano has made an upgrade to its blockchain through a soft fork, marking another milestone in its development. The soft fork is the first change to the Cardano protocol itself and increases the transaction size from 4 KB to 64 KB, a necessary step to accommodate the growing number of transactions approaching the previous transaction size limit on the Cardano network.

For a soft fork to take place on Cardano, the update must first be voted through by a majority of stakeholders on the network. Once the vote has taken place and majority approval secured, there is a ‘lock-in period’ during which the nodes are upgraded with update, before the protocol change is activated. When most nodes signal that they have updated their software and are ready for the protocol change, the fork is safely activated. This process ensures that there is no possibility of consensus not being reached and the blockchain splitting as a result.

The soft fork is part of a package of updates that includes small fixes and performance improvements. These include a fixing for an issue where Daedalus did not launch when it took a while for the Cardano node to start up. There was another improvement to the issue where the Cardano node might sometimes shut down incorrectly and lead to a delay in Daedalus connecting to the network next time it started.

The full release notes are available online at GitHub.

Even a fool could see the obvious upside in Cardano. This cryptocurrency is not only a better iteration of Bitcoin and Ethereum’s older blockchain technologies, it is also likely to sit well with the governments and regulatory bodies around the world who have so far denounced the very idea of cryptocurrencies.
But that’s not all. The team behind Cardano is taking this cryptocurrency to the next level. They have vowed to bring traditional fiat currency products and services to the Cardano network.
Beginning with ADA debit cards, the team has plans to eventually set up ADA ATMs across Japan. You may ask why Cardano has picked Japan as its launch market before it moves to the rest of the world. That’s because Japan is well-suited for a test run, as the majority of its population is already accustomed to or is investing in cryptocurrencies.
Because of Cardano’s Japanese initiatives, many are beginning to call it the “Ethereum of Japan.”
Cardano’s big bets have already caught the attention of savvy crypto-investors who are beginning to load up on ADA. The ADA-to-USD price has shot up more than 500% in a week, soon after the cryptocurrency became available to trade on major exchanges Bittrex and Binance.

Cardano vs. Ethereum, Bitcoin
The success of any currency, be it fiat or crypto, depends upon the scale of its adoption. The bigger the community using it, the more widespread its use and the more valuable it is.
With that in mind, the team of developers behind Cardano is promoting it as the first-of-its-kind cryptocurrency, which may appeal not only to users and investors, but also to regulators who have largely remained reluctant to legalize cryptocurrencies.
While it’s true that most altcoins are hailed for their privacy feature, complete anonymity can sometimes be counterproductive. Take the example of Monero, which is touted for offering absolute anonymity to its users. But that very feature is garnering bad press as Monero gets popular on the dark web for moving drug or black money. The negativity is beginning to scare traditional investors away.
To ward off similar stereotypes, Cardano is seeking the right mix between privacy and regulation to appeal to the mass investor community.
The Cardano platform is built in layers so that user privacy remains protected. At the same time, it allows for improvement in its technology via “soft forks” (unlike the “hard forks” in Bitcoin and Ethereum, which have ended up splitting those platforms).
Cardano uses a unique “proof-of-stake” algorithm which isn’t as capital-intensive as Bitcoin’s “proof-of-work” algorithm. In other words, miners do not require expensive hardware or a lot of power to mine ADA coins, like they do with Bitcoin. That feature makes Cardano a less costly alternative to Bitcoin.

What is Cardano (ADA) Cryptocurrency?
Cardano, like Bitcoin and Ethereum, is a blockchain-based platform for individuals and organizations to conduct financial transactions anonymously and privately without the interference or surveillance of a third party.
These transactions are conducted on the Cardano platform using its cryptocurrency “Ada,” the equivalent of “ether” on Ethereum and bitcoins (with a small “b”) on Bitcoin platforms.
