PascalCoin  a new cryptocurrency  is ready to    change this with deletable blockchains.  <\/p>\n<p>    The project has made considerable headway since releasing its    first beta version in July last year.According to    The Merkle, there is a lot of trading    activity and buzz aroundthe new altcoin but as of yet there are no merchants or    platforms accepting it as a payment option.  <\/p>\n<p>    PascalCoin is therefore not going to oust bitcoin any time    soon, but it does employ interesting new strategies to create a    cryptocurrency. Instead of relying on transaction history in    blockchains, like most other cryptocurrencies, PascalCoin uses    safebox with a safebox hash.  <\/p>\n<p>    The safebox feature makes it unnecessary for the end user to    download a blockchain of historical operations, making    PascalCoin the first cryptocurrency to do that. The balance is    included in each block of the blockchain so the chain can be    deleted without affecting the ability of making transactions.  <\/p>\n<p>    By saving the balance of the account on each block,    thenew altcoin hopes to simplify cryptocurrencies and    become moreappealing to the general public. Instead of    long hacker-esque series of random numbers and letters,    PascalCoin features up to 10-digit account numbers that include    the balance and make the experience more similar to regular    bank accounts.  <\/p>\n<p>    The safebox is also meant to avoid the issues that have been    detected with bitcoin.    One of those issues beingdouble spending, when people    attempt to do two transactions with the same funds, which is    aknown problem with bitcoins.  <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>    When discussing cryptocurrency, the issue of traceability often    arises. Many worry that cryptocurrency can aid criminals in    their illegal dealing,     although that might be changing. Pascal Coin will not be    any more untraceable than bitcoin, even though it allows you to    delete the blockchain. Deleting the blockchain can make the    transaction history more obscure but anybody that possesses the    full block chain will be able see it.  <\/p>\n<p>    Its way too early to tell whether PascalCoins take on    cryptocurrency will change anything about the future of    cryptocurrency. However, new additions to the world of digital    currencies are always interesting, especially if they bring it    closer the public.  <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>    PascalCoin Is A    Cryptocurrency With a Deletable Blockchain on The Merkle  <\/p>\n<p>    Read next:     First Uber, now Tesla: Employee sues over sexism, inappropriate    conduct  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Read the original here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/finance\/2017\/02\/28\/new-cryptocurrency-allows-delete-blockchain\/\" title=\"Deletable blockchain might make cryptocurrency more user-friendly - TNW\">Deletable blockchain might make cryptocurrency more user-friendly - TNW<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Thanks to the amount of technical savviness one needs to posses to use them,many cryptocurrencies are rather inaccessible for average users.
