This year, cryptocurrencies are demonstrating their financial prowess as they rapidly increase in value. With a total market cap of more than $500 billion, this vast ecosystem is loaded with digital currencies that are more valuable and more usable than ever. What\u2019s not considered on these charts is the creativity embedded in some of these coins.<\/p>\n

Although it\u2019s currently priced at just $0.92 USD, which doesn\u2019t place it anywhere near the most valuable cryptocurrencies, Einsteinium<\/a> deserves recognition for creativity.<\/p>\n

\"Einsteinium
EMC2 began the year valued at just $0.000875 per coin – not even worth a tenth of one cent. As of Dec. 24, its value had increased to $0.92 per coin — a gain of more than 100,000%.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Einsteinium\"<\/a>
The Einsteinium Foundation\u2019s mission is to raise funds for scientific research.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

First launched in 2014, Einsteinium is a unique cryptocurrency that combines the standard p2p ambitions with a philanthropic underpinning that strives to fund scientific research through its platform.<\/p>\n

It uses a proof of work<\/a> concept that is similar to Bitcoin, and, aside from the popularity difference, it operates in much the same way. In essence, Einsteinium is a combination of Bitcoin\u2019s technological capability with the ethos of a charity.<\/p>\n

A New Fundraising Model<\/h2>\n
\"EMC2
Einsteinium runs on the Proof-Of-Work scrypt algorithm. The total amount coins that will be in circulation after the mining is 299 million coins (after 730 Epochs).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Einsteinium\u2019s methodology is simple but is pretty compelling. Their coin, EMC2, is a tradeable digital currency that has soared in value this year. Throughout its first two years, EMC2\u00a0\u00a0<\/sub>traded at a fraction of a cent. In other words, it was a functionally worthless currency.<\/p>\n

However, the crypto boom of 2017 has extended to Einsteinium as well. In November, EMC2\u00a0<\/span>began an unprecedented climb that ultimately led its value past $2.50, though with the recent crypto correction<\/a>, it is now trading for around $0.92 USD.<\/p>\n

This is good timing — on March 1st<\/sup>, Einsteinium<\/a> launched the Einsteinium Foundation, which is an officially registered non-profit in Canada, and it\u2019s one of the first NPOs in the crypto space. The funding mechanism for this nonprofit is built into the crypto mining process. Of the fees generated by mining EMC2, 0.5% goes to the organizations fundraising costs while another 2% is directly contributed to funding for scientific research.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the mining community has an opportunity to vote for the projects that they want to fund. Funding is accrued in Epoch cycles, which are the approximately 25 days that it takes miners to build 36,000 blocks onto their public ledger. At the completion of each Epoch, miners have the opportunity to vote on the projects that they will support with their funding.<\/p>\n

A Unique Approach to Crypto Mining<\/h2>\n
\"Einsteinum
As of September 2017, the Einsteinium Foundation decided to remove the \u2018Wormhole\u2019 feature from the coin which reduced the total supply by 55075320 coins.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Einsteinium<\/a> uses a reductive approach to mining rewards. Essentially, as more blocks are mined, the reward for doing so becomes less.<\/p>\n

Prior to a September 2017 hard fork, Einsteinium used a unique approach that they have dubbed a \u201cwormhole event\u201d in which a random event within each Epoch rewards a miner with a significantly higher than normal reward.<\/p>\n

Therefore, while the general payoff lessens over time, the possibility of a wormhole reward should incentivize participants to continue to contribute their computing power to maintaining the Einsteinium<\/a> blockchain.<\/p>\n

Additionally, to help invigorate their currency, Einsteinium recently implemented the September 2017 hard fork that reduced EMC2\u00a0<\/sub>supply by 25%.<\/p>\n

This can be perceived as a strategic move to enhance Einsteinium\u2019s value at this critical time, but it can also be interpreted as a last-ditch effort to shore up the currency\u2019s value after years of stagnation. Differentiating the difference between these two motives is one of the most tenuous aspects of the platform.<\/p>\n

A Shotgun Entry into the Future<\/h2>\n
\"\"
As of December 24, 2017, Einsteinium has a market cap of ~$200 million.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Einsteinium has robust plans for its future that don\u2019t inherently correlate to their fundraising vision. For example, since Einsteinium has many of the same qualities as Bitcoin, they see its future adoption in p2p or even integrated ecosystem transactions as a vital part of their future.<\/p>\n

After a much-hyped announcement<\/a> on December 19th<\/sup> failed to deliver the excitement and forward-thinking developments that users had hoped for, the currency dropped nearly 40%, swaths of \u00a0confused investors filled chatrooms, forums and Reddit with their misgivings.<\/p>\n

The announcement revealed Einsteinium is updating its mining algorithm to make it ASIC resistant and to make it more GPU friendly, which will help its mining become even more decentralized.<\/p>\n

Although many of their community members expressed frustration with the announcement, Einsteinium maintains that the change reflects emerging best practices in the industry and ensures that their research-enabling platform is utilizing the latest research and technology to mature the platform.<\/p>\n

While the past two months are exciting for Einsteinium and its supporters, it\u2019s difficult to tell if EMC2\u00a0is taking off on its merit or if it is merely reflecting the general enthusiasm surrounding cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n

Regardless, Einsteinium\u2019s<\/a> combination of currency and philanthropy is a novel idea, and it\u2019s unlikely that they will be the last project to produce an iteration of this concept.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
