Topic: Latest coin with DAG technology? (Read 353 times)

I've spent some time surveying the state of DAG implementations. As always in the crypto world, it's an ecletic mix of insanely impressive research, ill guided engineering, mediocre copycats and outright scam ranging from trivial to extremely sophisticated. So let's dig in!

1. Meh: IOTA, famous, but disturbing amount of technical debt.

2. Interesting, but not a real DAG: RaiBlocks/Nano, while related, is not a DAG chain in strict sense - does not propagate "I've seen and acknowledged that branch" state normal DAGs are supposed to do. That said, Nano is very impressive in engineering sense, but suffers from a lot of formal debt: The voted-in federated nodes doing conflict tiebreaks do not have livenesss guarantees whatsoever. There is no recorded history, and loss of quorum means loss of access to consistent state of both past and current.

3. Interesting: ByteBall is formally quite  unassuming DAG. It too depends on "sworn in" federated tiebreakers like Nano, the quorum is not as bad as compared to Nano, as past votes cast by witnesses is recorded history.

4. Blah: Aidos = IOTA cargo cult. Non functional. The existing code is very preliminary, and seems to be just Go port of IOTA from Java, trinary nonsense and all. Might be useful to get Golang port of IOTA, though?

5. ?? Dagcoin - which one in particular?

6. Academically competent DAGLabs - Startup employing some of the researchers responsible for the cutting edge GHOST, SPECTRE and PHANTOM theoretical work. No published code yet, but if they do, it's going to be legit unless the VCs botch it.

7. Blah: Oyster = Some sort of horrible IOTA and EVM cargo cult. Seems to be straight IOTA instance with some marketing fluff on top.Move along.

8. ICO scam Paragoncoin.

9. Border ICO scam, but not a DAG The techs at HCash might be onto something, but HCash PR team really does shuts it down with the bullshit fest. HCash is just Decred (Bitcoin-NG). The thing they added is lua-scripted smart contracts, but as an external module (works similiar to counterparty and such). Still brobably a good idea rather than trying to mutilate decred directly.

10. Pretty legit RChain. The only downside is complexity introduced through the unorthodox choice of process calculus for contracts.

11. ICO scam IOT-Chain. It's interesting the lengths they've gone to show off fake code. Top of the class China fake.

Others:

12. ICO scam TravelFlex. ICO ended in december, no single line of (original) code delivered since then.

13. ZCash clones Fill-in-any-other-clone of ZCash today is unlikely to become DAG anytime soon.

14. Not many people realize That Ethereum is a Block-DAG, in it's most primitive form (GHOST).

15. Seems legit, but review pending Universa. They don't elaborate on nature of the consensus whatsoever. Cursory looks at it suggest some sort of interactive voting. Still reading to figure out more.

Travelflex is the new DAG coin

I heard that zencash is looking into switching to a DAG based solution for scaling.

What about Hashgraph (see https://hashgraph.com/)?

I know currently we already have so many coins with DAG technology such as..

1. IOTA
2. Raiblocks
3. Byteball
4. Aidos
5. Dagcoin
6. Daglabs
7. Oyster
8. Paragoncoin
9. H.cash
10. Rchain
11. IOTChain
12. (you name it)

But none really make me interest yet.

I found 1 witch is STONE. DAG + zkSnarks
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/pre-ann-stone-dag-data-structured-private-cryptocurrency-2581762

But this project is pure SCAM. No ICO, No code. No progress update. Just random guy talk about "idea" and asking for donation.
Instead of updating about the project progress, he spend most of his time deleting comment, and creating more wallet for him to accept more different coin.
It make me so *facepalm thinking how can people blindly give him the money? The truth is, that guy already received more than $100K!

Ok back to the topic, do u know any new DAG project or ICO, or anyone that already plan to do it?
(or maybe I can join? if... since i'm very good in marketing, design, and branding, i just need a good coder with DAG exp).

DAG technology + zkSnarks(privacy) + smartcontract + 100m total supply + good team + good name/brand + good marketing = easy top 10 coin!

Because DAG is the next big thing, since it can solve main blockchain issues when it comes to transaction speed, fees, and scalability!
