Why Gulden?
1.) Gulden is one of the few crypto currencies with stable and user-friendly wallets for each platform (Win, Mac, Lin, iOS and Android) and is therefore not a ramshackle copy of the bitcoin QT client that takes half an hour to synchronize at every startup.
Note: initial synch only takes minutes. And after that mobile wallets synch in a split second.
2.) Gulden is the only cryptocurrency with a decentralised way to secure 1 confirmation payments (i.e. not via Masternodes, etc., which destroy the whole idea of decentrality). Furthermore, zero confirmations are on the roadmap.
3.) Gulden is the only one to have found a solution to break the "power" of the miners by having the validation process of transactions also carried out by so-called "witness". And because the two groups of miners and witness have conflicting interests, they cannot "hold the blockchain to ransom" or otherwise persevere.
To put it in perspective. To hack the Gulden network, as in a 51% attack, you need 71% of the hashrate AND own 71% of all Gulden AND have them in witness.
Safety is key, it’s your money, you want it safe. Gulden is unrivalled at this point as far as we know.
4.) Because Gulden wants to become a widely used international payment instrument, Gulden is focusing on a strong link with fiat money. That's why you can easily buy and sell Gulden with euro via the wallets. Selling simply by just filling in your IBAN number. In addition to EUR, a lot of work is being done to obtain a link with USD and GBP.
5.) Gulden is the only one who has the possibility to make a link between a desktop wallet and a mobile wallet so that the mobile wallet can be managed via the desktop.
6.) Gulden can be put in deposit which will bring you a certain interest rate. The amount of the interest depends on the amount and duration of time that you secure the Gulden. And this "witness" process is completely different from POS with any other coin.
7.) Crypto’s future is all about reaching mass adoption. With Gulden’s user friendliness it focusses not solely on the obvious crypto trader, but on those other billion normal users who don’t know about blockchain technology nor need to know about it. Everything is done and developed with ease of use in mind and still being safe and decentralised.
8.) Gulden has a large enthusiastic community on Slack (
https://gulden.com/join). Where anyone can become a member and where you can get in direct contact with the developers and obtain help from a lot of volunteers if you have any questions.
9.) Gulden does not make empty promises and does not hype non news. Instead they develop real solutions. And there is still a lot on the roadmap they want to achieve. To make it even more user friendly with e.g. Alias (payments directly to email addresses)
10.) The developers are independent and have already been provided with sufficient resources through community funding to be able to develop independently for many years to come. There are now 5 people working on the development on a professional basis. Next to other companies they work with like e.g. the Payment Service Provider Nocks.
11.) For merchants there are loads of plugins and API’s they can use to integrate Gulden payments into their businesses. With only €0,05 for a transaction which can be paid out to Euro or Gulden as desired, it is very attractive for merchants to accept Gulden payments. In most cases it is way cheaper than current banking solutions, without the risks.
12.) Soon we will see other third party apps including Gulden Payment solutions embedded in them (I have seen them already 🎉🚀) . Can you imagine going to the movies and pay for it with Gulden directly from within the Movie app?... And yes, we will see Dapps on the Gulden Network in the future as more third parties discover the possibilities. Stay tuned...
