Interview with Ciprian Popa, Founder of Nihilo Coin
1. How did you have the idea to create “Nihilo Coin”?
We all need a better world to live in and we all dream about this. That is how Nihilo was born. We want to share the future with our community and to build our future together.
2. Why did you choose the name “Nihilo”? What does it mean?
Is a Latin word meaning “out of nothing”. It often appears in conjunction with the concept of creation, as in creation ex nihilo, meaning “creation out of nothing”.
3. What makes Nihilo Coin different from other cryptocurrencies?
Every one of us is different, even thought we all look the same. Nihilo is not different than other cryptocurrencies. We don’t claim that our project is the best project, we just claim that Nihilo is our project. There are all kind of investors out there and some are focused on the next coin to get the reach soon and some investors that look for projects that do what we do. So we do make this investment in developing stuff like decentralized marketplace, a platform were you can host your own raffle, social media monetizing platform, ready to integrate tool for Nihilo payment getaway for WordPress websites, mobile wallets…and many more to come.
4. What can you tell us about the marketplace?
This is one of the biggest projects we prepared for the Nihilo community. Unlike traditional marketplace, were all commissions goes to Jef Bezoz of Jack Ma’s pockets, in Nihilo, all the commissions earned are going towards paying the cost of organization and the rest of the profit will be shared between the masternodes that operate on the blockchain. This will give extra winning and rewards to masternode operators and will decentralize the profit share.
5. What can you tell us about the team behind this project?
Our team is super great and well prepared for the job, we have them working for almost a year now on the project. Nihilo is launched only for 3 months, but our work started a year ago.
We have great skills on advisory board too, from different aspects of the business side. And because we never had an ICO, we don’t have free tokens, or bonus tokens or bounty tokens to convince high profiles to join our team. They joined the team because they believe in our vision and wants to do something good for the community.
6. Can Nihilo Coin be mined?
We have a full POS algorithm operated by Masternodes and Staking.
Staking Nihilo
Nihilo wallet is build up to stake the coins available in your balance. You need to have minimum 10 Nihilo in your balance in order to stake.
The more Nihilo you have in your balance, the higher your staking weight and more rewards you receive. Every block is processed in 2 minutes and the reward is 4 Nihilo for every block that is processed by staking process.
Staking ROI is between 45-50 % per year , this is not a fixed ROI as the staking needs to be done correctly. Here are the steps:
- Leave your balance in your wallet for min 8 hours
- After 8 hours, the wallet will start staking, using your total coins you will have the staking weight.
- The higher the weight, the faster the rewards
- Every balance that has coins and is staking them will split in two after staking, giving you more chances to find a block
- Difficulty is retargeted every block so the more staking addresses you have, the higher the chances to find a block
- If you move the balance (use the coins), your coins will not mature anymore and they will need another 8 hours to mature.
Masternode
Nihilo blockchain is operated by masternodes which have a collateral of 10.000 Nihilo.
Today statistics available in Nihilo explorer https://explorer.nihilo.space/ shows how many masternodes are always active and operating the network. Every block has a reward of 10 Nihilo and 60% goes to masternode operators.
Your masternode needs to be active all the time in order to be in the list of active masternode. The longer your masternode is active, the higher the position in top of the list and the faster you get your rewards because you find blocks faster.
In order to set up a masternode, we have prepared guides and video tutorials.
7. How can Nihilo Coin be used as a cryptocurrency retail banking?
We have close an agreement with Oryx Cash ICO founders, which is a VC 2.0 (investment fund) and fully licensed with crypto banking license in Netherland, Uruguay, Peru and Puerto Rico. The group is part of the swiss base company located in Zug, EST Capital AG.
With this partnership, they will take on board of their banking system and process of crypto payments Nihilo’s public blockchain, with other words, they will use Nihilo in all the transactions and business related activity in all banks with crypto license.
8. On what exchanges are you planning to list Nihilo Coin next?
Nihilo is not a coin for day to day traders, we are a utility coin in our core so we don’t need to start with big exchanges. But once we kick in the agreement and we start implementing the banking system, the coin will be listed on top 10 exchanges.
9. What future plans do you have for Nihilo Coin?
Our future is build up on community vision, so the more community is involved, the faster and wider we can integrate. We aim big and we want to reach our adoption rate at a high level.

It’s true that wealth inequality has always existed, no matter what the design of the society. Whether capitalist or communist, democratic, autocratic, or plutocratic, it will exist. Yet many of the extremes we see today are avoidable. They come as a result of an unlevelled playing field, the direct consequence of certain government policies.

1. How did LightPayCoin start?
As I said at the beginning, Lightpaycoin LPC is a new type of coin that combines the achievements and innovations of previous generations of coins. We did not just create a coin to bring it to the market, to stock exchanges or merchants.
We created a coin that would enable people and every coin owner in particular to feel its uniqueness. With daily use LPC people will be able to feel its advantages.

Best programmers from this University will work for improve LPC blockchain and other functions.UCF posted info on their official Twitter channel 
Money can be a serious force in driving apart friendships, family relationships or any type of relationship. We’ve all lost a few things because we decided to lend something to someone and it never got returned. And if we’re being honest, it can make us hesitant to lend out anything, especially money.
Behind this project we can find a team with extensive experience in banking in such areas as investment business, retail risks, corporate finance and derivatives. In particular, in the area of risk, team members have successfully managed retail risks at leading Russian banks and have an understanding of how to build effective scoring/ratings models for assessing the creditworthiness of borrowers and how they can be improved. The IT division of the team is engaged in the development of complex high-load production software solutions on various scales, including using blockchain technologies for distributed storage of information.
Blockchain and AI are two technological trends which, while ground-breaking in their own rights, have the potential to become even more revolutionary when put together. Both serve to enhance the capabilities of the other, while also offering opportunities for better oversight and accountability. Even though the two technologies have highly different developing parties and applications, researchers have been discussing and exploring their combination, and they have been found to go extremely well together. Due to its decentralized nature, blockchain can potentially neutralize the risk of one party’s monopoly of AI and their ability to control one of the most powerful and dangerous technologies known to man. AI can be incredibly revolutionary, but it must be designed with utmost precautions – blockchain can greatly assist in this.
