NEO digital asset platform was previously called
Antshares. But in recent times, a complete rebranding has been made. In addition to the name change, the startup updated blockchain nodes and technical documentation, as well as the stock Ticker. In addition, the official website and social media were redesigned. The transition to a new version of the smart contract system, called
NEO-2.0, was carried out.
The
NEO cryptocurrency has been showing stable and non-stopping growth for a long time. Very quickly, the Chinese creation took seventh place in the top of Coinmarketcap. This, without a doubt, is a serious bid for prospects, given the high competition in the cryptocurrency market. And Ether confidently holds the second line after the famous Bitcoin. So the crypto currency
NEO clearly has all the chances to rise much higher than the seventh line.
At the moment, the price fluctuates around $45. The cost for three months has increased 20 times.
The volumes of neo cryptocurrency reserves are clearly defined and limited to 100 million tokens. So far, only half of the available potential — 50 million tokens-is available on the market. So the crypto currency
NEO clearly has all the chances to rise much higher than the seventh line.
The project is actively developing.
OnChain cooperates with other players in the field of cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies. At the moment, there are connections with blockchain startups
Coindash,
Bancor,
Agrello and others. The Chinese project Red Pulse has announced the creation of a financial research platform based on the
NEO-2.0 smart contract system. Also, in cooperation with
NEO, there is an intensive development of The
Elastos operating system based on blockchain technologies.
THE history of the emergence and development of neo cryptocurrency
https://preview.redd.it/2f7c6ryop1v31.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=300b03be2a471d857d7d22d5659f2a4ef74c5e8b The date of origin of the project can be considered 2014.
NEO Creator Da Hongfei is a Director of Shanghai-based
OnChain. In 2014, onchain, according to Da Hongfei's idea, launches the AntShares blockchain project. On the basis of this platform, a cryptocurrency of the same name was also created.
Yes Junpei put to the company is simple, but a global problem. His goal was to build a fundamentally new system of financial interaction. This system should unite the sectors of the real and virtual economy into a single whole with the help of high-tech contracts. And cryptocurrency from
OnChain should become a unit of payment for these contracts.
Soon
OnChain enters into a contract for cooperation with the Wings blockchain project, as well as contracts with economic giants
Microsoft and
Alibaba.
In August 2017 begins the story of
NEO already in its current form with the current name. Da Hongfei carried out a complete rebranding and technical modernization of the project. The rebranding was a huge success, and the price of cryptocurrency from
OnChain soared 40 times.
But not without problems. On the fourth of September, the Chinese authorities adopt a package of sanctions laws against cryptocurrencies and ICO. It was a heavy blow, which at the time almost 2 times brought down the course of the brainchild of Hongfei. However, soon the
NEO cryptocurrency moved away from the blow and began to confidently win back the lost positions. At the moment,
OnChain is actively upgrading the product and simultaneously trying to find a compromise with the Chinese authorities for the legalization and quiet operation of its offspring.
Features and principle of operation NEO
https://preview.redd.it/tj1goppoq1v31.png?width=800&format=png&auto=webp&s=0c39d14754ba9dd99e2c6bfb692f0f7bdd6c1838 From a technical point of view, the Chinese cryptocurrency is very similar to
Ethereum. The basis of the platform is the construction of smart contracts and their subsequent payment with tokens. Also an important part of the project is the ability to create new technologies based on the platform, as well as easy integration with other services.
Despite the fact that
NEO is often called "Chinese Ether" and the fact that the Ether still occupies a higher position in the ratings, the product from
OnChain has advantages that the Ether lacks.
NEO is much more practical and functional. This, no doubt, opens up the potential to move the Airwaves in the ratings in the near future.
Let's see in detail how everything works. Transactions within the system are possible when paying a Commission. The Commission is paid in-system currency. That is, for the transaction you have to throw in the system additional "fuel". The developers of OnChain decided to create an additional in-system currency, called
GAS, as a fuel (a means of paying commissions).
NEO mining is impossible. There is a final coin value of 100 million. 50 million thrown on the market during the ICO. The second half of the developers keep at home. However,
GAS mining is possible. However, it occurs when holding coins in a purse. That is, the more tokens you have, the more
GAS coins you can get to pay commissions. Today, 2000 coins in the wallet accumulate 1 coin
GAS every twenty-four hours. Such mining is associated with the work of the network on the Proof-Of-Stake algorithm. Coins generate themselves. Without the use of farms of video cards and megawatts of electricity.
Like any cryptocurrency,
NEO has advantages and disadvantages.
The benefits of
NEO:
- the publicity of the company and experienced team;
- contracts and cooperation with corporate giants;
- a wide functionality, much superior to the functionality of Ether (it is difficult for a simple person to understand what the salt is, but for a specialist NEO opens the widest horizons for development and operations);
- activity in meetings and seminars;
- active struggle of OnChain for legalization (although there are some problems with this now in China, however, there is a high probability that soon all issues with the government will be settled, which will attract large investors and significantly increase the already considerable capitalization of NEO).
The shortcomings of
NEO: - all gas storage nodes belong to OnChain, that is, NEO is a centralized structure, although it is served as decentralized, this means that blockchains are in the hands of a narrow circle;
- OnChain has the technical ability to monitor the transactions of coin owners, transmit information to the authorities, as well as personally block funds in users ' accounts and regulate the rate.
However, there are great economic and technical prospects for the development and increase in the price of the coin.
Difference between NEO and Bitcoin
https://preview.redd.it/qm9q0kmft1v31.png?width=1024&format=png&auto=webp&s=81bc03a4521b12f6e517b9ef8f905d8271041355 The main points that distinguish
NEO from
Bitcoin:
- Direct mining of NEO is not feasible, you can only mine GAS to pay commissions.
- Bitcoin mining depends on the power of the technical base of the miner. The larger the pool of farms from video cards, the more active is the production. In the NEO system, gas mining occurs exclusively due to the presence of coins in the wallet.
- To organize a large Bitcoin mining requires large purchases of iron and organization of production (supply of high-power power supply line, cooling system, etc.). A direct injection of investment is sufficient for the development of GAS. Each purchased 2000 coins of "Chinese ether" will steadily accumulate exactly 1 coin of GAS per day.
- Bitcoin has the most decentralized system of blockchains, as opposed to pseudo-centralization of NEO.
- The processing speed of one NEO block is only 15 seconds. For bitcoin-as much as ten minutes. In the future, it is predicted to accelerate the processing of blocks for NEO to 1 second.
Despite the risks associated with the organization of blockchains,
NEO remains a very promising platform in the cryptocurrency market.
NEO storage wallets
On the official
NEO website you can find links to the following wallets.
- Wallet NEON-Wallet from the group of independent developers City of Zion. Quite good, but the factor of third-party development and the presence of bugs impose their risks.
- NEO-CLI. This wallet is recommended only for programmers and people who are good at command line.
- NEO-GUI. The best option for the average user. To use it, you need to download the application, synchronize the blockchains and make a backup of the wallet. All. Now you can safely carry out financial transactions using Chinese kryptonite.
There is also the option of storing directly on the exchanges, however it is risky. Also, holding coins on an exchange rather than in a personal
NEO wallet will not generate
GAS.
NEO: buying and sharing
https://preview.redd.it/5ovlowr3v1v31.png?width=750&format=png&auto=webp&s=ea4c20d0be463cbaaf14846db2355b77975cd296 NEO can be bought and sold on exchanges or exchanged in multi-currency wallets. The most famous exchanges:
- Bittrex;
- Binance;
- CoinSpot;
- YONBI;
- JUBI;
- Yuanbao;
- 51szzc;
- Yobtc.
As the value and popularity of
NEO increases, a massive increase in trading platforms where you can buy or sell "Chinese Ether" is predicted.
Ways to get NEO
Unfortunately, at the moment there is no way FOR direct
NEO mining in the manner of
Bitcoins and
Ether.
However, there is a way out.
NEO cranes can be used. Cranes are resources where the user receives a cryptocurrency reward for performing certain tasks or participating in lotteries.
There is a high probability that if successful in the legalization negotiations,
OneChain will provide additional ways to get their tokens.
As you can see,
NEO is a very promising and rapidly developing cryptocurrency. And although the Chinese government has created some difficulties, on the example of
Bitcoin, we see how high the rate of the crypto currency can rise if the factors interfering with the development disappear. So, the prospects of
NEO are optimistic and you can risk investing in them.
