City Coins: What's the point?



 Miami Mayor Francis Suarez keeps emphasizing that the city is the crypto capital of the world. The reasons for this are the settlement of companies such as eToro and Blockchain.com in Miami, the relocation of the Bitcoin conference to the city and also the introduction of MiamiCoins as one of four tokens of the project named: CityCoins . But what do these coins actually do?


City Coin number 1: What is the MiamiCoin?

MiamiCoin ($MIA) is the first city coin on the market and has been tradable since June 2021. MIA is a token based on the Stacks protocol.


MiamiCoin and the other City Coins can be mined or purchased by individuals who want to support their favorite city while earning crypto returns. City Coins provide an ongoing source of crypto revenue for the city. Similar to taxpayers' money, the proceeds from the project are in turn intended to benefit the city's citizens in the form of new public spaces, infrastructure, city events and startup recruitment. If MiamiCoin's growth continues, proponents of the technology say, it would lead to a future where the entire city budget would be covered by MIA. Miami would then be the first US metropolis to do entirely without taxes.


In addition to the MiamiCoin, there are already coins for the cities of New York and Austin, Texas, as more and more cities are recognizing the potential of the technology for themselves. If you would like a City Coin for your favorite American city, you can vote for it here .


How exactly do the City Coins work?

The CityCoins project is powered by the Stacks protocol, which enables Smart Contacts to run on the Bitcoin network for the first time. It all works like this:


By routing STX tokens into the smart contract of a specific block of the Stacks blockchain, miners can mine the City Coins. The STX token is the native token of the Stacks network. The miners compete for the City Coins with the submitted STX tokens. There is only one winner per block who can then claim the City Coin reward. All STX submitted for mining will then be redistributed:


70 percent of the mining rewards are paid to the people who stake their City Coins.


30 percent goes to the wallet set up in the respective city. This is where the money is collected, which will later flow into the expansion and improvement of the city. The city can convert their STX from the wallet to US dollars whenever they want or they can stake the STX tokens to earn BTC.


CityCoins planned in 15 cities

Fifteen other cities are set to receive CityCoins, including three in the US and 12 others in Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, Amsterdam, Lisbon, Berlin, Lagos, Cairo, Dubai, Singapore, Seoul, Tokyo and Sydney.


City Coins: Use for the cities

City Coins can be held or staked after successful mining to earn more STX. Bitcoin can also be earned by staking STX. City Coins can also be borrowed and lent.


The Stacks Network is open source and offers developers a new way to build applications and experiment with innovative use cases. Open source projects that benefit the city are particularly welcome here.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
