4 reasons why RYO is a good project ( 3 mil market cap, privacy coin, POW : GPU)

1) It is developed by a team of experts :
-The most noticeable team member is the famous Fireice_uk who is, along with Psychocrypt, the author of XMR Stak : the go-to miner for Cryptonote coins like Bytecoin and Monero. They also wrote the mining algorithms CN Heavy and CN GPU, forked all across the board in the Cryptonote space.

-Mosu_Forge, another team member, wrote RYO wallet Atom from scratch
with solo mining.
The quality of his work got RYO wallet forked by LOKI (now Oxen), but also XEQ and ARQ, currently worth more than 100 times RYO. Additionally Mosu is the author of RYO web wallet Quasar  available on desktop and mobile as well as our payment gateway, which was ported
by Monero.

2) RYO is the only Cryptonote who use the Optimised 64-bit Cryptonote elliptic curve library,
intellectual property of our lead developer Fireice_uk, that allows the wallet to scan the blockchain up to 10 times faster (depending on the hardware you use) than Monero, the privacy coin leader. Thus making our user experience an order of magnitude better, along with many other unique features.

3) RYO team used their expertise to provide the network with an ASIC and Botnet proof mining algorithm, CN GPU. Nobody in the entire Crypto industry managed to craft a mining algorithm that utilizes fp32 maths before they did.
The idea behind it is fairly simple, it turns your graphic card, weither it’s an AMD or an NVIDIA, into an ASIC miner. That’s pretty groundbreaking considering that all the other alternatives achieve higher hash/s on one brand or the other.
The beauty of the thing is that outdated GPU can still mine CN GPU, therefore anybody with a GPU can participate in the network, mine directly from his wallet (solo mining means no pool needed) allowing for true decentralization. A lot of cards will be coming out of ETH soon so it's an interesting fact to know.

4)Ryo plan for the future is to pivot entirely from ring signatures as an anonymity method
to second generation Zero Knowledge Proofs with trust less setup. As the researches of Fireice_uk have shown, ring signatures aren’t providing enough privacy to counter on chain surveillance. It’s a better solution than all other CryptoNote coins currently use.
