Ask HN: Is there any scalable “blockchain”/cryptocoin?
Hi,
I am wondering if there is scalable cryptocurrency (maybe with smart contracts feature) having typical "blockchain" properties of trust?
Best, Wiktor

Uses something called "nebulas force (NF)" which is a self-evolving blockchain (no hard forks). Created by co-founder of NEO, he started the project in 2016 and went to work on it full time early 2017 after implementing a blockchain at Ant Financial (alibaba).
The testnet is out now and the mainnet is launching by end of Q1.

Very interesting project.

HN loves to hate on it (probably because their funds are elsewhere), but if you read through the whitepapers and the Github I think it is probably the one of the most promising cryptos for actual real-world use.
Raiblocks would be my next guess.
Ripple is centralized and can be argued is not even a blockchain.
Litecoin is fast AF but its the "younger sibling" of Bitcoin.
