FTO is a new kind of cryptocurrency. It was developed using Dash technology and, just like Bitcoin, it uses a p2p system. Futurocoin uses nodes too, but it also adds the so called Masternodes, which improve its process’ efficience. What’s more, with Bitcoin you have to await the transaction confirmation, which usually takes some minutes. This is very good that you mentioned a faster confirmation, which only needs 4 seconds for FTO!
BTW if you will needed a few tips on how to trade on the CoinDeal platform then FuturoCoin released a very nice tutorial - you can find it here:
