Phore (PHR)
Phore (PHR) is a secure digital privacy cryptocurrency that focuses on sustainable growth and development. The platform uses Masternodes and proof of stake to secure the network and offer users with a deeper level of security and privacy. PHR is relatively fast block times and low transaction fees compared to other cryptocurrency platforms such as Bitcoin. PHR is a rebrand and update of the Kryptkoin (KTK). KTK was pre-announced in May 2014 and the distribution of the coins started on 21st may the same year. KTK was a non-pre mined coin that was distributed equally among those who qualified for a stake.
Phore features
To facilitate a brand new platform and new features, the existing KTK code needs to be rewritten afresh. It required a swap from the old KTK to the new Phore. A two-month window was given for KTK holders to swap to the new PHR on a 1:1 basis. The core features of the new platform include:
PoS and Masternodes: Phore network uses PoS and masternodes to secure itself. It uses incentives masternodes for services such as privacy and instant transactions. Each masternode requires 10, 000 PHR as collaterals. Users receive 60% block rewards and 40% goes to stakers. The network is secured through staking.
Privacy: Obsfussion through coin mixing is made possible using the decentralized masternodes. PHR provides you with private transaction unavailable with standard bitcoin transactions.
Instant: Phore ensures fast transactions with 60 seconds block time. Instant transactions are guaranteed by masternodes. There are no confirmations required and it spendable within seconds.
