said Marc van der Chijs, founder of First Block Capital

The technical team behind Emercoin is one of the strongest in the industry, which was an important reason for us to back their coin

Additionally, Emercoin today announced the creation of a new advisory board. Board members include van der Chijs, renowned venture capitalist Bill Tai, a member of Bitfury’s board of directors; and George Kikvadze, executive vice chairman of Bitfury.

A road system is only useful for commerce if it has street addresses,” said Tai. “Emercoin’s technology takes the internet’s addressing system to another level securely, and it could be a foundation for identity on blockchains.”

The Emercoin Blockchain offers a suite of decentralized, more secure services on top of its blockchain, including:

• Anti-counterfeiting.

• Domain name services — recording, securing, proving ownership.

• Digital time-stamping & digital ownership.

• Decentralized advertising.

• New secure & distributed authentication, authorization, auditing and accounting.
