MobileCoin\u2019s low-cost global payment\n  network is key to the continued success of our global customer base looking for an inexpensive, easy-to-use payment\n  platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are cryptocurrencies?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Put simply, cryptocurrencies are digital currencies. They\u2019re encrypted and decentralized payment systems. And there\u2019s\n  a lot of them out there. You\u2019ve probably heard of Bitcoin \u2014 the world\u2019s first cryptocurrency. In all, there are over\n  6,000 digital currencies trading today with names like Etherium, Dogecoin, and Brettcoin, to name just a few!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MobileCoin is simple to use.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>MobileCoin aims to be as easy and intuitive to use as some of the world\u2019s most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/10-online-payment-gateways-compared\/\">popular payment systems<\/a>. It was\n  created with ease-of-use and a focus on the end-user experience at the heart of every design decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It\u2019s fast.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditionally, most cryptocurrencies have been very difficult to use. Technical hurdles \u2014 combined with tremendously\n  long transaction times that take hours (or days!) to complete \u2014 have caused many cryptocurrency enthusiasts to treat\n  it as a long-term investment and not a spendable currency. Due to some smart architecture decisions, most MobileCoin\n  transactions complete in under 10 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It\u2019s secure.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>MobileCoin is focused on user privacy. As its name implies, MobileCoin is meant to be a mobile-first cryptocurrency\n  that integrates into secure communication apps like Signal and WhatsApp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Involvement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>DreamHost is proud to be a MobileCoin launch partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/celebrating-20-years-of-the-open-source-manifesto\/\">We\u2019ve always embraced\n    open source<\/a> projects that help people own their digital presence, and MobileCoin ticks all the boxes. It\u2019s\n  a low-cost global payment network that helps all our customers, particularly our international customers, transact\n  business safely and securely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DreamHost will be inaugural members of the MobileCoin Foundation, and we\u2019ll be donating our time and resources to run\n  several smartly-designed, highly encrypted MobileCoin processing nodes on our network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These nodes are just a first step. We\u2019ll continue to offer advice and guidance through our seat on MobileCoin\u2019s\n  Technical Advisory Committee and can\u2019t wait to see how our many small business customers choose to take advantage of\n  this new payment technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we\u2019re happy to announce that DreamHost has joined the MobileCoin foundation.
