Title: Whitepaper, Lightpaper & Yellowpaper Meaning - Definition
Post by: Mounty on July 01, 2018, 03:29:17 PM
Whitepaper: It’s a document usually released prior to the launch of a new cryptocurrency, essentially a whitepaper is a token/coin technical manual and sales brochure combined, outlining its purpose, benefits, features and roadmap. They are a necessary component of any new cryptocurrency to provide more detailed information on the project and offer legitimacy.


Lightpaper: It is a summary version of Whitepaper though rarely used

Yellowpaper: is a document containing research that has not yet been formally accepted or published in an academic journal. It is synonymous to the more widely used term preprint, yellowpaper contain usually more technical details.

I'm new in crypto but I already read the FuturoCoin White Paper. A very interesting reading! I even came across such a fragment:

Let’s finish this section with Crypto Anarchist Manifesto quotation: “Just as the
technology of printing altered and reduced the power of medieval guilds and the
social power structure, so too will cryptologic methods fundamentally alter the
nature of corporations and of government interference in economic transactions”


You can read it too, here is the link: https://futurocoin.com/download/FuturoCoin-white-paper-en-31.01.18.pdf

What do you think about it? Has the cryptoanarchist goal been achieved?

Apparently there is a separate understanding of the meaning of these words. All this time I thought it was the same meaning, it was only made differently. Interesting information while adding new knowledge related to the field of cryptocurrency and ICO.

I also did not know the yellowpaper definition. I know white paper, and know the nice example of that -  https://futurocoin.com/download/FuturoCoin-white-paper-en-31.01.18.pdf - but the yellow one... Is there anyone who have any example of this yellow strange thing?
