Hello steemians! Today @jphenderson wants to tell you about an awesome cryptocurrency I recently found called OHM. OHM was created with the intention of making a difference in the world. A quote from their mission statement reads: "We want to make a real difference, not a bottom line. We want to create interest free loans to projects that matter; things like solar, wind and geothermal heating. We want to help build non-profit financial institutions, and give back to the general public."
OHM uses the PoS system of minting new coins rather than PoW systems like mining to be energy efficient, giving stake holders a variable rate APR starting at 20% for the first year and giving bonuses from transaction fees making them attractive to investors,. However, what really sets them apart is that they are the first cryptocurrency connected to an augmented reality game (ARG), the S.V.V.
The S.V.V. is an ARG designed to teach players spiritual principles by completing different puzzles and challenges. The S.V.V. has quickly become a global phenomenon with people all over the globe taking part. One of the best parts about the S.V.V. IMHO is that they reward players for performing random acts of kindness with OHM. These can be anything from rescuing kittens from a burning building to offering advice on an internet forum to someone in need and are rewarded on a sliding scale based on the actions.
So, you may be wondering, "how can I get started with OHM and the S.V.V.?" First, you will want to download the OHM wallet at
https://ohmwallet.com where you can also read up more about it. Then you will need to submit an application to the S.V.V. at their website humanisbeing.com
You can also join them on discord here: https://discord.gg/d5w7V6M
