The latest peer-to-peer cyber currency to launch is branded Hyper, and claims to finalise settlements twenty times faster than the longer established and better known Bitcoin.
The founders also claim that Hyper has been specifically designed for the virtual gaming and gambling world, commenting:
“Essentially, Hyper is a low energy cryptocurrency designed for use in online games, MMOs and virtual worlds. The currency is currently used in Counter-Strike, Minecraft, and Zandagort – a space-based strategy MMO game server we are running where an in-game free market trading platform for Hyper is being currently developed.”
