Cryptocurrencies’ dark horse NAV Coin to swap for a thoroughbred
NAV coin, which holds the auspicious title of the world’s first fully anonymous cryptocurrency, announced a coin swap that comes with a list of game changing improvements for the coin. The news has lead to an ongoing price surge.
NAV’s coin swap to set off a chain of game changing improvements
“The goal of the NAV coin swap is to improve the performance of NAV for it’s investors and give us the code base to launch NAV into a strong future. Our future will be development heavy; we pride NAV on being a tech strong coin and we like keep on the cutting edge of altcion technology – after all we are nerds.”
-NAV Development Team
Updates for the new NAV coin wallet
The freshly skinned NAV wallet in trademark colors blue and purple is not just a pretty face. The New NAV wallet includes:
- the capability to connect to Bittrex with API keys to trade NAV directly from within the wallet.
- encrypted private messaging from wallet to wallet.
- the ability to look up transactions from directly within the wallet.
The direct connection with bittrex surely looks pretty smooth. You can see the current market orders, place and cancel orders as well as see your trade history.
Top on the list is BIP0032 - Hierarchical deterministic wallets
Bip 32 is considered one of the key updates in moving crypto currencies forward into a modern user-friendly place. It is the capability to generate wallet addressed from a single private seed, which allows the user to regenerate key pairs from the seed if the wallet is lost. Thus backup frequency is reduced. This wallet generation method is compliant with web & mobile wallet standards.
The NAV team has indicated that a mobile and web wallet build is high on their list of priorities. This would be a massive advancement for a small coin like NAV.
Full Automatic TOR implementation
The wallet can now be used in conjunction with the TOR network which uses Onion Routing to mask the IP of users on the network. This will give the privacy and personal freedom of NAV’s anonymous transactions a new whole new level
BIP0038 - Passphrase-protected Private Key
Capability to encrypt and encode a passphrase protected private key. Typically intended for use on paper wallets and physical coins. Users will now be able to store their coins offline in secure cold storage.
BIP0100 - Floating block size hard limit
Maximum block size is increased to 20MB with the maximum size for mined blocks set to 10MB. Block size is dynamic and changes in response to the volume of transactions. This future proofs the coin to be capable of handling all perceived future transaction volumes.
