Unobtanium is a Proof-of-Work (PoW) cryptocurrency that uses the SHA-256 hashing algorithm. It was designed to serve as a commodity and store of wealth that would be less vulnerable to price fluctuations. The coin's supply is limited to counter inflation, and UNO coins were distributed in a manner that would discourage centralization. UNO can be merge-mined with Bitcoin.

Qtum has been described as a hybrid between Ethereum and Bitcoin. Qtum is a smart contracts platform that places a strong focus on value transfers as well as decentralized apps. Qtum enables users to create smart contracts on the platform and conduct cryptocurrency transactions.
