OmiseGo (OMG)
OmiseGO is a public Ethereum-based financial technology for use in mainstream digital wallets, that enables value exchange and payment services across both fiat money and decentralized currencies. It is designed to enable financial inclusion and disrupt existing institutions. OmiseGo's parent company, Omise (founded 2013), is a venture-backed payments company operating in Thailand, Japan, Singapore, and Indonesia, with rapid plans for expansion to neighboring countries across Asia-Pacific.
Mining/Staking
OmiseGo uses a staking system for consensus. Full details are not available at the present time (early 2018).
Development Team
OmiseGo has a very impressive team behind it. The full team can be seen on the project website, and among others, includes Joseph Poon (Lightning Network), Vitalik Buterin (Ethereum), and Dr. Gavin Wood (Ethereum/Parity/PolkaDot).
Criticisms, Caveats, and Competitors
The current focus for OmiseGo is currently regional (Asia) rather than global. A number of competing blockchains are also trying to become dominant payment processors in that region.
