Raiblocks – XRB
A new generation cryptocurrencies. Raiblocks is showcasing great competition lately to IOTA for the ‘new kind’ which are known for being – fast, feeless and minerless. It could catch you off-guard reading minerless but the way that RaiBlocks functions is that it is based on a crypto-architecture known as “block lattice” – it is a database of blockchains in which each user has their own blockchain that only they can add onto.
In the process of sending funds – two blocks are created: one send block on their personal blockchain and one receive block on the recipient’s blockchain. Users receive funds by “pocketing” any outstanding receive blocks into their personal blockchain. Users do not have to be online to receive funds.

IOTA – MIOTA
The level at which the vision on what IOTA is built on is so large it would be difficult to come around in a few words. The target is to create those circumstances in which all services are tradeable with another. Primarily aimed at B2B but with the potential to expand rapidly into a B2C, and even C2C market, IOTA aims to make transactions between businesses seamless.
For example – A company is in need of more storage, while another company has enough even to sell – this can be processed through with the use of IOTA network. It’s a system that goes back to the time of bartering in Markets, where services are paired, rather than going through the middle-man of a currency first.
