A team from Pekingese University claims to have created a solution to traditional blockchain consensus issues. Proof of Ownership Protocol will be demonstrated with the launch of a new ICO, Shih Tzu Coin (SHT Coin) which the developers say will reward owners both financially and personally.

Electroneum (ETN) aims to take cryptocurrency to the masses - to make crypto easy to trade, easy to transact, and even easy to mine (sort of). This is attractive to an investor as it will apply pressure to the demand for the coin... if it works. Our progress report is positive on Electroneum.
