OmiseGo

For some of us who have traveled to countries in South East Asia, we know how cumbersome it could be to transfer money from one bank to another especially when the transaction involves two different countries.
A team of financial technocrats saw this problem and decided to establish a financial institution known as “Omise” that can help to solve the problem. The company provided a payment system for online companies in South Asia. The company started four years ago and received much patronage because of un-refined banking practices in that part of the world.
A few months later, a cryptocurrency arm of the organization called “OmiseGO” was launched and the company expanded to peer-2-peer transactions in the blockchain technology.

TEAM

The team consists of seasoned business technocrats drawn from different fields of human endeavors. They include Jun Hasegawa :Founder, Vansa Chatikavanij :MD, Donnie Harinsut: Co-founder, Wendell Davis :Product Designer and Thomas Greco: Special Advisor.

Mining

OmiseGo is wallet based application and is pre-mined and cannot be mined directly as of this time of writing this report. The only way to mine it is through Ethereum ERC-20 token, and the reward will be transferred into your OmiseGo wallet.

I want to believe you have little idea of a mining process but below is a summary.

When a cryptographic problem is solved, the miner who got it solved will be rewarded with a token for adding blocks to the blockchain. The miner or team of miners will be rewarded with a given amount of the token based on the fixed price. Anyone can mine as long as your hardware meets the requirements and you have the technical knowledge to execute such task. People use different methods to mine, and two most commonly used of recent are Cloud mining and mining pool.

With cloud mining, all you need to do is to connect to the datacenter and use the shared power to mine. You don’t need a physical hardware to mine.

With mining pool, you join a group and whatever reward got is shared based on everyone’s contribution to getting the cryptocurrency problem solved.
