Great article, Please also check out the platform and maybe write about it if you find it interesting!

Coin Of The Realm (COTR) multi-blockchain, multi-coin and smart-object platform is a turnkey solution.

COTR offers instantaneous creation of blockchains and coins with an existing network of nodes and related infrastructure. This offers the quickest and easiest way to create programmable money on a dedicated public blockchain.

TECHNOLOGY
COTR represents the ideal blockchain platform for communities and projects to create their own blockchain, deploy to a large network of nodes, choose or create their own consensus algorithm, mint one or more types of coins, reward miners for participating, and develop distributed incentivized mobile & web platforms on top.

COMMUNITIES
Communities, organizations, and projects instantly create their own blockchain and mint coins to distribute or offer them to members and users. Incentivizing involvement in the platform or community will revolutionize engagement and participation.

DEVELOPERS
We made choices at every step to make it easier for developers to build, test, and deploy their blockchain and cryptocurrency powered platforms. Using JSON on RESTful, WebSockets, and Object Oriented interfaces makes everything intuitive, human readable, responsive, and fast.

DAPPS
We were inspired by the power of BitTorrent to share information without censorship and saw the opportunity for an immutable platform, not only for money, but for discussion, voting, web services, and trustless relationships. At the same time we saw the disadvantages of other platforms that crowd out innovation with contention.

MONEY
Communities create their own coins unconstrained by congestion, contention and competition for transaction bandwidth, and using their own coins as fees. Ultimately the value of their economy is based on the success of the platform, offerings, and discourse.

MULTI-BLOCKCHAIN
COTR features unlimited Realms, each its own independent public blockchain running on a network of nodes.

QUANTUM RESISTANT
COTR includes upgradable security schemes, multi-signature, and automated rekeying on every transaction.

MULTI-COIN
Every COTR Realm blockchain can host an unlimited variety of coins, and every coin is a first-class citizen.

COTR allows pluggable consensus algorithms, including Proof-of-Luck, Proof-of-Stake, Proof-of-Capacity, and Proof-of-Work.

CONSENSUS
COTR allows pluggable consensus algorithms, including Proof-of-Luck, Proof-of-Stake, Proof-of-Capacity, and Proof-of-Work.

DEVELOPER FRIENDLY
RESTful interfaces and WebSockets with JSON make it easy to create transactions and receive notifications.

NODE NETWORK
Every blockchain upon creation is deployed across the entire COTR node network while each node has flexibility to whitelist and blacklist.

CROSS-CHAIN TRADES
Cross-chain trades are facilitated by an uber blockchain which is required by validating or mining nodes.

SECURITY
Highly secure using upto 2048-bit Elliptical Curve asymmetric cryptography with a 256-bit address space.

WRITTEN IN C++
For sheer transaction speed nothing beats the speed of multi-threaded C++ on a hyperthreaded multi-core CPU.

MULTI-SIGNATURE
Set any address or method to multi-signature policies for joint, majority, supermajority or unanimous consent.

SMART-OBJECTS
Every address is a smart-object with properties and methods that can represent a contract, post, article, media, or even a lightbulb.

QUANTUM RESISTANCE
Automated replacement of keys and upgradable key security currently supporting upto 2048-bit encryption and a 256-bit address space.

MINER REWARDS
A marketplace for miners allows a choice of blockchains to mine according to consensus algorithm, difficulty, block rewards, fees, contract rewards.

UNIVERSAL WALLET
A universal wallet allows sending cryptocurrency, or calling other smart-object methods on any realm from any mobile or desktop device.

PAYMENTS
Integrated and pairable payment terminals insert payment ids in transactions allowing payments to be instantly and uniquely identified.

INTERNET OF THINGS
A whitelisted dedicated public blockchain allows low powered devices to receive only transactions for the home, business or venue.

WHITE LABEL
White-labeled wallets allow any community, organization or project to roll out their own branded wallet dedicated to their blockchain.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT
Set support friendly key policies using multi-sig to unlock customer keys.

ADDRESS NAMING
Assign one or more names to any address using a naming Smart-Object for each blockchain.

REALM NAMING
Assign one or more names to each blockchain using a naming Smart-Object on the uber blockchain.

AUTOMATED REKEYING
Your HD wallet can replace the key after every transaction automatically to prevent brute force public key attacks.
