Nano, formerly RaiBlocks, is a peer-to-peer digital currency. It is a decentralized, open-source cryptocurrency based on [[Directed acyclic graph]] architecture, and released under the [[FreeBSD]] License. It operates without intermediaries by using a distributed ledger with a block-lattice data structure. A lot of [[Transactions per second]]. You must consider the difference between a [[Blockchain]] and a [[Block-lattice]]. [Nano](https://blog.nano.org/) is the blog. What is the ultimate [[Cryptocurrency]]? Anonymous? Low resource usage? What is the thing that will actually work? Will cryptocurrency progress like web development? What's the mission? Why do you do what you do? Do you pay your friends with cryptocurrency? What's stopping you? RaiBlocks, like [[Rai stones]] mentioned in [[The Bitcoin Standard (book)]]: > Of all the historical forms of money I have come across, the one that most resembles the operation of bitcoin is the ancient system based on Rai stones on Yap Island, today a part of the Federated States of Micronesia. Nano seems comparable to [[Algorand]], although I know nothing about it.
