Why BTCD seems so relevant:
Next generation anonymous cryptocurrency BitcoinDark will implement the primary innovation of Teleport technology to ensure privacy through off-blockchain transactions. In line with the original idea behind Bitcoin, BitcoinDark aims to create a decentralized currency and payment system – however the evolution of BitcoinDark will encompass much more – supporting decentralized trading, a P2P asset exchange and constructive collaboration across the cryptocurrency ecosystem as a whole.
BitcoinDark’s exclusive anonymous teleport technology will also make Bitcoin itself fully anonymous. BitcoinDark is already available for trading on cryptocurrency exchanges Bittrex, Atomic Trade, Cryptsy and Poloniex.
Infrastructure is under construction that will have the capabilities to turn any other cyptocurrency anonymous using BitcoinDark’s open source Teleportation technology. BitcoinDark is a peer-to-peer Proof-of-Stake cryptocurrency. 1.2 million BitcoinDark coins were mined during the PoW phase. With 5% new coins per year from staking, it will take until the year 2020 to reach 1.5 million coins. With an ultimate maximum of 22 million coins, BTCD will generate 5% annual staking revenue for holders for more than 60 years. In addition, BTCD holders will earn revenue from InstantDEX and Teleport fees: BitcoinDark is the only cryptocurrency that will reward holders with income denominated in Bitcoin.
