Bram Cohen, the BitTorrent inventor, will be developing his own cryptocurrency


Bitcoin price goes down: We can think of it as either an opportunity to enter the market for a cheap price or a warning for a bubble to happen soon. Bitcoin use PoW (Proof of Work) to reward miners (Needs more Energy) for their efforts and the problem about the so called "51% attack".

I am interested on what Bram Cohen's idea;

According to torrentfreak.com Bram Cohen's cryptocurrency solution could be based on Proofs of Space and Proofs of Time, which is quite different from the Proof of Work and Proof of Stake algorithms that are currently in use.

I will keep an eye for any updates with his new cryptocurrency. This sounds a big leap!
