Here's one pretty cool network token that could be run on a browser and will not need you to download the whole blockchain for you to process transactions.
I've got it running on one of my browser tabs and if I understood correctly, I'd be able to help mine a block in about 9 hours at 5 kH/s.. Block mining reward is 50 Nimiq.
Not bad considering the Network Token Sale costs 1 ETH per 175 NET where 1 Nimiq is equivalent to 10 NET.
Below is a brief info taken from the Nimiq Network Token Sale Terms
Token Sale Summary
The amount of Nimiq Exchange Tokens (NET) for sale is equivalent to 5% of the total future Nimiq (NIM) supply (equal to ~25% of the circulating NIM supply after one year, for further explanation see here).
- NET are standard tradable ERC20 tokens.
- Exchange rate: 1 NIM = 10 NET.
- Tokens created in sale: up to 10'500'000 NET.
- The sale is capped at 60’000 ETH.
Two stages:
- First two weeks: 1 ETH = 175 NET
- Last two weeks: 1 ETH = 125 NET
Sale starts on June 28, ~1PM UTC
Montreal 9AM | Berlin 3PM | Moscow 4PM | Beijing 9PM | Sydney 11PMThe token sale will start at a particular block number and we will share this when we deploy the smart contract to the Ethereum mainnet.
The sale will run for up to 28 days, or terminates if a cap is reached earlier.
Check out their website for more info, and check out their Betanet. The mined Nimiq tokens are not real, though, but you get to experience how it works and will also help them out in this testing phase. :)
Shout out and big ups to the Nimiq Team!
