RE: Crypto Review - RaiBlocks (XRB) a Promising DAG.

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago

I'm always interested in where cryptocurrencies get distributed at the beginning. I know you mentioned that it was a pre-distributed currency and I started doing some research on it. I saw somewhere (actually a steemit article came up) that the currency was originally mined through performing captchas over and over again. Do you know if there is any truth to this?

Yes, that is correct. I'm afraid there was just too much information on this token to present everything to know about it. I'm happy you've looked into it a bit yourself, so that I'm not the only one who has researched RaiBlocks!

I really like the idea of using captchas honestly. Makes it so that it is not automated and anyone with a computer or smart device can join in on mining the currency. Makes it a level playing field so it isn't about who has the biggest GPU or CPU.
