Cons
  • - Codebase was just released open-source
  • - Still risky as main net is just releasing
  • - Two coin ecosystem and consensus algorithm still a risk as it is untested long-term.
  • - Open source codebase
  • - Very young in development
  • - Still requires many bug fixes
  • - Public blockchain creates security concerns
  • - Uses cryptocurrency as fuel for transactions
  • - Forks can cause complications
