The \u201ctogether we are stronger\u201d<br \/>philosophy is the guiding force behind the Civitas coin.<\/p>\n<p>Cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies have given rise to new ideas and innovations that have reshaped the global financial landscape. Connecting people and resources in a speed never seen before, peer-to-peer decentralized networks have empowered<br \/>citizens with the ability to exchange payment for goods and services without relying on<br \/>traditional banking, FIAT currency, or creditors. A truly free society is being developed<br \/>with instant, private transactions emboldened by the promise of blockchain technologies. Although Bitcoin has been the catalyst for this new movement, it lacks some key<br \/>attributes that have been improved upon in several new cryptocurrencies. Our mission<br \/>is to blend several of these elements to introduce the fastest, privacy-based coin with a<br \/>community-based network of Masternodes (MNs) for security.<\/p>\n<p>The cryptocurrency space has seen a plethora of innovations to address multiple issues that<br \/>have arisen since the inception of the first blockchain based protocol, Bitcoin. Controversy<br \/>regarding miner centralization and practical issues such as fungibility and privacy have been<br \/>addressed. As the network grows, security becomes less of a factor while getting a consensus<br \/>vote for implementing changes becomes increasingly difficult. The form of a voting system<br \/>via MNs allows for a distributed group to vote on a continuous basis on matters pertaining<br \/>to Civitas without giving up their right to vote to others. It is the community who will choose<br \/>which problems Civitas seeks to solve as we move forwards in harmony with the ever changing<br \/>blockchain environment.<\/p>\n<p> As such, Civitas begins its journey by forking from the Pivx repository, a cryptocurrency based<br \/>off Bitcoin\u2019s core 0.10x code base and running Blackcoin\u2019s Proof of Stake (PoS) 3.0 protocols.<br \/>Maintaining the stable core code whilst adding the addition of MNs which will give resources<br \/>for adding additional features such as governance, privacy, and faster transactions. Civitas was<br \/>born as a Proof of Work (PoW)\/PoS coin allowing both mining and staking. After a short time, it<br \/>was discovered that the Zerocoin protocol would not support PoW and was terminated. Since<br \/>then Civitas has been a PoS coin, meaning that the block rewards are split between MNs and<br \/>staking wallets.<\/p>\n<p> Communities and the internet have been synonymous since the first message boards sprang<br \/>up in the 1970\u2019s. Now with the advent of cryptographically verifiable digital ledgers it has become possible for these communities to exchange value digitally, securely, and quickly.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20180826123650\/https:\/\/civitascoin.com\/\"> Civitas\tWebsite <\/a> <br \/>Civitas\tWhitepaper <br \/><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Social<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WHAT IS CIVITAS?Civitas comes from the ancient Roman concept that community is not just the collectivebody of citizens, it is the contract that binds them all.
