Hshare (HSR)
Hshare (also known as Hcash) is intended for use as a pure cryptocurrency, but is interesting because it has many features not typical of other projects. For instance, it supports a dual distributed ledger system (both blockchain and directed acyclic graph), a dual consensus system (both proof-of-work and proof-of-stake), and some privacy features through the use of zero-knowledge proofs. Hshare is also intended to be quantum resistant. However, as noted below, there are some aspects of this project which bring into question its legitimacy.
Mining/Staking
Hshare has a dual proof-of-work and proof-of-stake open governance model. Every Hshare holder allegedly has the ability to participate in significant community-wide decision-making, including protocol updating and upgrading through a proof-of-stake mining mechanism. Further research is recommended.
Development Team
There are some very large red flags with this development team and project, as can be seen in the Reddit thread linked below.
Criticisms, Caveats, and Competitors
