Basics

Veritaseum

Total supply	100.000.000

• Not mineable, ERC-20
• a smart contracts-based, peer-to-peer wallet interface (in beta) that currently interacts with Bitcoin blockchain (to be ported to Ethereum). It allows non-technical individuals & entities to quickly create, enter and manage smart contracts directly with others without an authoritative 3rd party. It was the first of its kind written on a public or private blockchain.
• The dominant messaging previously was about a research portal, but now it seems to be shifting to physical asset tokenization.
• If you want to read an in-depth report documenting the many deceptions surrounding the token, see Lighthouse Crypto’s comprehensive 38-page takedown
• Development has been absent (1-2019)
• The subreddit has gone private. Even the bitcointalk forum is moribund.

In a filing with the New York Eastern District Court, dated Oct. 31 and published today, Middleton agreed to the consent decree of the final judgment, without having to admit or deny the allegations, while waiving any right to appeal.
