Fast, scalable and decentralized payment network for Bitcoin.
The basic idea of Amiko-pay is that it forms a network of micro-transaction links:
Payments between parties are then routed over this network, and performed by atomically adjusting all micro-transaction links on the route.
The result is that transactions become secure without having to register them in the Bitcoin block chain. This has the following advantages:
- Transactions become near-instantaneous (you no longer have to wait for block chain confirmations)
- The block chain can remain smaller, so the system as a whole (Bitcoin+Amiko) becomes more scalable
- Block chain transaction fees can be avoided, so transactions can become cheaper.
