As well as being a solid coin that is easy to mine on any old computer, NERVA is also engaged in some more experimental aspects of crypto. NERVA was the first coin to demonstrate a self adjusting algorithm by changing some algorithm parameters every block. Now Cryptonight Adaptive is in v5 and every single hash relies on different, randomly selected data from the blockchain. This reliance on blockchain data improves resistance of the network, to ASIC and FPGA attack. The algorithms reliance on stored blockchain data also put NERVA at the forefront of resistance to rented hash services like NiceHash and Mining Rig Rentals, which also makes NERVA the best available coin for resisting 51% attacks that have compromised the integrity of many blockchains before. NERVA is a coin you can have total confidence in as a method of payment and as store of wealth in the short or long term.

The other talking point of NERVA is the rapid coin emission, with all coins due to be emitted within 3 years of the genesis block. But why? Monero and it's fork coins (of which NERVA is one) rely on the principle of the 'tail emission' after the last of the coins are emitted. A flat block reward that is aimed to replace lost coins and keep miners incentivised. But does it work? Well no one actually knows. No Cryptonight POW blockchain has come to the end of its work. NERVA is going to do that before any other. NERVA will be the project that other projects look to for answers and an example of how to manage that transition. So by being a part of NERVA, you are getting into a project that will have the world's attention on it in a couple of years.

Overall, NERVA defies the conventional wisdom of crypto and challenges people to think differently about how cryptocurrency is mined and traded and how blockchains are secured now and into the future.
