    Those who hold something in se times have to develop a eigeneKryptowährung and put on Blockchain, if necessary even only imnames. In past few months, hype about Bitcoin has produced more half-baked than practicable ideas. But re are also projects that could have a big impact in event of a success. The planned Telegram Open Network (sound) of Telegram Chat Service could be one of m.

    1.2 Billion US dollar start-up capital wants to take telegram in first quarter of year in a so-called initial coin offering (ICO). One can ICOs as an early investment in a new Kryptowährungverstehen: Investors buy currency at a predetermined price nochbevor it comes on market. If ir price rises later, y have made a profit. The developers, in turn, receive money that y can invest in development of IhrerBlockchain.

    In this way, telegram according to TechCrunchzunächst wants to 600 million US dollars from selected venture capital companies and Partnerneinnehmen. Then, once again, 600 million will follow in a public sale. With a total of 1.2 billion US dollars, Esdas would have been by far largest ICO--last September DiePlattform Filecoin was able to take 257Millionen US dollars.

    Telegram approaching 200 million users

    The plans are ambitious, perhaps too ambitious. But Telegram has something that many companies that follow DemBlockchain-hype all too quickly do not have: firstly, millions of existing users and zweitenskonkrete use cases in which a new Kryptowährung is not merely alsSpekulationsobjekt.

    With nearly 200 million active users, Telegram is one of most popular and fastest growing chat services in world. Although in past re has always been criticism of Verschlüsselungdes service used, however, like WhatsApp, Signal or Threema, Telegram also allows to send messages by end-to-end encryption, so that y notdependentupon third parties – even from Telegram itself – can be read.

    In a white paper, those responsible argue that re are already hundreds of public chat groups in DenenICOs and Crypto on Telegram. The service is a total bereitsjetzt one of focal points for Blockchain community – a potential that one wants to exploit. For this purpose, several application cases are described in paper, three of which are particularly interesting.

    Pay with chat app

    The first application is obvious: The sound is to receive a NeueKryptowährung, whose units are called grams. The digital wallet for grams, wallet, is to be integrated into chat app. Once users have exchanged common currency in grams, can n pay in tone. The advantage: All BestehendenTelegram users would have already installed a Krypo Walletauf ir smartphone from one day to next. This makes it easier to get started.

    As a model, Telegram serves Chinese network WeChat.Es allows its users to make purchases directly from app or to transfer money to or users. In China, WeChat Payinzwischen has more than 600 million active users – and revolutionized trade. Telegram wants to pick up on concept. With difference that Anstelleeiner classic currency is used, including advantages of a Kryptowährung: transfers are made without middlemen and sindgleichzeitig anonymously and transparently stored in Blockchain.

    A problem of Blockchains like that of Bitcoin is diegeringe transaction rate. Because each transfer must be calculated across many computers, only a few transfers per second can be getätigtwerden. Telegram wants to solve this with a new technique, using Dersich to automatically split Blockchain if too many GleichzeitigeProzesse are running. According to Telegram, "millions of VonÜberweisungen" per second are to be made possible, which means that Gram's zuBitcoin in its current form as a common method of payment is to be established.
