Antshares (ANS) is now NEO
From the Antshares Conference in China, a rebranded AntShares is now NEO:
NEO - A distributed network of intelligent economy.
Their contracts are written in C#, Java, Python and GO.
It is a Quantum Safe Encrypted Protocol and contains a new Database Layer.
They have also announced partnership ecosystem with Bancor, Agrello and Matchpool.
There was a rally on ANS yesterday on bittrex (20th June 2017), whilst it has fallen 12% at the time of writing (while the conference is ongoing).
By all accounts, Antshares is being lauded as the Ethereum of China. They claim to have implemented 'Sharding', something Ethereum are working on, yet still have to successfully implement.
ANS Shares will retire and get redistributed as NEO in the new Wallet Software. Nothing needs to be done at the end user side. No re-issue and therefore no investors get screwed.
Interesting times indeed ..
time will tell, i really didnt like the part of they only have 2 full time devs..
