Emercoin’s Name-Value Storage is a simple yet powerful concept that allows you to store arbitrary data within the blockchain. This has already allowed a range of distributed services, from a decentralized network.
Although Emercoin supports traditional PoW mining and merged mining with Bitcoin, its main mechanism is Proof-of-Stake mining. This eliminates the “arm’s race” for mining capacity.
Emercoin will never sacrifice security for flexibility. Unlike “smart” contracts, which have already caused multi-million scams and security compromising in the past, Emercoin’s NVS logic is not Turing-complete and cannot be used to write malicious code.
