Yes. We are currently finalizing our whitepaper, which will be published soon here and on the website. The first hybrid asset has been running since June as a testcase. We will take the code of the project to Github once it hits beta.

By the way: if you notice any assets on exchanges currently claiming to be ours, don't invest. We are in talks with a few institutional investors for now.

Is this an actual WIP then of a decentralised exchange that a lot of people have been wanting to work on for years now? Do you have any screenshots or whitepaper to look at?

Hi George, welcome to the forum. Yes, the client will be hooked up to both. We will initially focus on the use of TOR, however we aim to support both (and perhaps more if time permits us). Which is why we are going with a modular approach, so we can continue to support the client with new updates and plugins one at a time. A TOR binary is included, in case the user does not have an existing connection.

Hi Armis, thanks! Sending you a PM.

Hi guys! Sorry for my spamming of the cryptocoinsnews. I just got mad because I like hybrid assets and what you're doing and thought XC is doing a ripoff. They make all kinds of promises for new technologies and then people believe it and throw the money at them. I was scammed on Bittrex before and it felt like an abuse of trust. That made me avoid all  crypto for a long time..

Anyway, a few hours ago I registered, and got nice directions from someone to find your thread. So there's nice people on here too.

Already I have a queston. Will the daemon of your system run on both TOR and I2P at the same time? Because I thought they were very different.

let me know if your want some free publicity for your project


btw, always do videos of your presentations then post them to youtube

WHAT The Internet of Coins aims to create a decentralized, self-sustaining economy by implementing intersystemic connectivity. Not through centralized exchanges, nor federated partnerships, or multigateways, but sustained by a hybrid P2P meta-network to leverage each of its participant's strength in numbers. Our dream is to integrate all coins into an interconnected and financially liquid nervous system.




WHY Our goal is to make every cryptocurrency autonomously part of a large swarm of decentralized economic activity. We want to do this by enabling every cryptocurrency user to create hybrid assets that interconnect value systems and blockchains. We believe there are also some useless cloned coins and assets out there, however, we see a numerous amount of innovations with valuable technology worth saving from abandonment. This provides users with an easy to use way of transferring value, while  providing businesses with a backend solution for accepting multiple  currencies.




HOW The parallel network will be run by anyone that uses the hybridd daemon. Being an allocator and part of the network is rewarded through network fees. Existing wallets and technologies need no changes or adaptations at all to have their blockchains and value systems hooked into this decentralized network. The current developments in cryptocurrencies are brimming with creativity, and we would like to see this continue in parallel, without imposing any limits. Please read our whitepaper for more details.

The team:

We are Joachim de Koning, Robert de Groot, Jelle Herold, Amadeus de Koning and Sergey Kazenyuk. You can read more about us on the Team page.


Current developments:

We started in the beginning of the summer of 2014. A working prototype, Hybrid Assets has been online with a prototype asset 'Stormwind' since June 2014.
Our website came online at the end of August 2014. It is our main communication channel where we talk about the project in our blogs. You can also converse with us via Twitter.

From August onwards, we started spreading news about the project at conferences and began talks with initial investors. November 1st 2014, we released a press release announcing an investment and development partnership from Bitalo. On the 6th birthday of the blockchain, January 3rd 2015, we released our whitepaper and became the first officially supported project of the Dutch Bitcoin Embassy.


Do you have a whitepaper?

Yes. You can download it from our website.


Can I personally invest?

Not as of now. We are currently in the pre-launch phase, where we prefer to work with entrepreneurs and companies that are willing to pioneer with us and can bear risk. If you are an entrepreneur or investor, feel free to contact us. We do not want any user to bet his wage on the financial risks of a newly established project, but aim for an evolutionary growth. When we have secured enough pre-launch capital to ensure continuous development, it will be possible to buy into the hybrid assets used to bootstrap the system.


What sets you apart from other projects?

By being a distributed autonomous organisation, instead of a foundation or corporation, we want to ensure the impartial evolution of this project. In our project there is no discrimination. Any cryptocurrency, or even  ledgerless technology, can be hooked into the Internet of Coins in order for an open market to develop. We avoid blockchain bloat by utilizing a parallel P2P communications network.

The system does not require the existing technology behind a blockchain to be adapted or updated. Our approach is modular and aims at setting solid standards in the cryptosphere on which next generation financial solutions can be built. We are building a technology for participants in the cryptosphere to use on their own. This is a system which is open source and can be used as a transaction tool by any company or person, either directly or as a backend solution.

A while back we shared our vision in an article on Cointelegraph.
