On Jan. 18, Wyoming legislation presented the bill, which would help to clarify the classification of cryptocurrency.

  1. Wow – Syscoin sounds like it has become toxic waste. Always question if the cypherpunks would approve? If not dump it. As soon as a blockchain becomes a servant to the establishment best not touch it with a stick. Eeew!

  2. Thanks for interviewing Jag! When he finally speaks, people should give ear. I urge those unfamiliar to objectively look into Syscoin's tech, fundamentals and relatively long and interesting history in the space. Project has been mainnet since 2014 and evolving ever since. Has survived multiple market cycles, through thick and thin. Jag is certainly among the best public blockchain developers today in my opinion – highly intelligent and knowledgeable, yet humble, and has contributed quite a bit to many projects whether in form of insight, code or bug-fixes, and has claimed bounties. Syscoin's Z-DAG Protocol introduced May 1st 2018 in SYS3 is the first to solve several major industry-wide challenges as it 1) provides truly decentralized DAG, 2) provides global consistent sorting of consensus to DAG. 3) LN/VISA-like performance for assets while maintaining PoW security/finality – all representing significant challenges. The new approach in SYS4 toward cross-chain interoperability w/ EVM and offchain aggregation also represent significant industry-wide challenges being met by this team and project. It appears Syscoin has now smashed the Dogethereum challenge.
