WHAT IS BITCOIN NOVA (BTN)?
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Bitcoin Nova is the leading cryptocurrency with a focus on private and censorship-resistant transactions.
Most existing cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, have transparent blockchains, meaning that transactions are openly verifiable and traceable by anyone in the world. Furthermore, sending and receiving addresses for these transactions may potentially be linkable to a person's real-world identity.
Bitcoin Nova uses cryptography to shield sending and receiving addresses, as well as transacted amounts.
Bitcoin Nova transactions are confidential and untraceable.
Every Bitcoin Nova transaction, by default, obfuscates sending and receiving addresses as well as transacted amounts. This always-on privacy means that every Bitcoin Nova user's activity enhances the privacy of all other users, unlike selectively transparent cryptocurrencies (e.g. Z-Cash).
Bitcoin Nova is fungible. By virtue of obfuscation, Bitcoin Nova can not become tainted through participation in previous transactions. This means Bitcoin Nova will always be accepted without the risk of censorship.
Bitcoin Nova is a grassroots community attracting the world's best cryptocurrency researchers and engineering talent.
Over 10 developers have contributed to the Bitcoin Nova project, including 2 core developers. Forums and chat channels are welcoming and active.
Bitcoin Nova Research Lab, Core Development Team and Community Developers are constantly pushing the frontier of what is possible with cryptocurrency privacy and security.
Bitcoin Nova is not a corporation. It is developed by cryptography and distributed systems experts from all over the world that donate their time or are funded by community donations. This means that Bitcoin Nova can't be shut down by any one country and is not constrained by any particular legal jurisdiction.
Bitcoin Nova is electronic cash that allows fast, inexpensive payments to and from anywhere in the world.
There are no multi-day holding periods and no risk of fraudulent chargebacks. It is safe from ‘capital controls’ these are measures that restrict the flow of traditional currencies, sometimes to an extreme degree, in countries experiencing economic instability.
