What Is Nano and How to Buy it?

What is Nano crypto?

There is one issue that practically no cryptocurrency has taken into account when starting operations, the pollution generated by the crypto world day by day. Mining of Bitcoin consumes an enormous amount of electrical energy, accounting for about 0.2% of global electricity consumption. For a fee-based protocol with limited throughput, many feel that this is unsustainable and can be significantly improved in both efficiency and utility. Colin LeMahieu began developing Nano in 2014 in response to these perceived inefficiencies and created a protocol with unlimited scalability, instant and feeless transactions, which consumes an absurdly small amount of energy in comparison to Bitcoin. At the time of writing, the entire 50 million blocks on the Nano network have collectively used less energy than bitcoin does in 1 second. Nano was distributed between 2015 and 2017 for free, via a simple CAPTCHA faucet. The faucet allowed users all around the world to earn the digital currency through the completion of complex CAPTCHA’s, providing a popular and viable method of widely distributing the currency to those that are more likely to benefit from the early adoption of a decentralized global currency. When distribution was closed in October 2017, the foundations for the global communities around Nano were created, and have continued to grow over the years.

How Nano crypto works

Nano’s fundamental goal, like that of most cryptocurrencies, is to be a viable alternative to fiat money. It empowers people around the world with the ability to transfer funds anywhere in the world, without fees or delay, on a decentralized network.In the interest of efficiency, Nano uses a combination of the novel Block Lattice data structure and Open Representative Voting security algorithm.

The Block Lattice is asynchronous, meaning each account has its own blockchain, and rather than having to compete to get transactions into a single block, as with Bitcoin, accounts can freely transact and without competition or delay. And these transactions are confirmed very quickly on the network by the tallying votes of Principal Representatives.

– Nano is undoubtedly well-positioned as a payment coin, but its utility relies heavily on increased adoption.
