Emercoin

Emercoin (EMC) is a coin used on Emercoin blockchain to settle transactions and pay for services offered on the mainnet. Emercoin employs both "Proof of Work" and "Proof of Stake" consensus algorithms which ensure a high level of security of the Emercoin blockchain. The integration of both consensus algorithms also restrict malicious attacks such as 51% attack. The Emercoin blockchain offers various services such as EmerDNS (Websites cannot be blocked, the owner carries the unique keys forShow more [+] intaining or modifying domain names), EmerSSH (eliminates the need of a central server), EmerDPO (A digital proof of ownership) and EmerSSL (prevents compromised SSL certificates). A fraction of Emercoins (EMC) is used for availing the aforementioned services.
