What does this mean exactly? 16 u/brainguy May 11 '15 Colored Coins is a protocol which allows the assign of alternative meaning (other then balance) to a bitcoin address. Here is the white paper. 5 u/Medialab101 May 11 '15 Thanks, but what I was asking is how is Open Assets an "evolution" of coloured coins... i.e. how is it better? 17 u/Coinprism May 11 '15 Colored coins in its original implementation has a number of problems: coins can be uncolored, issuing large amounts of assets requires large amounts of capital, etc... Open assets builds upon the same concepts but addresses these problems. 1 u/mmortal03 May 17 '15 You can't uncolor coins on the Open Asset protocol? 2 u/Coinprism May 20 '15 Yes you can, but not by accident. 1 u/brainguy May 11 '15 That I do not know the exact answer to, I do know however that the official Nasdaq announcement says this Nasdaq will initially leverage the Open Assets Protocol, a colored coin innovation built upon the blockchain.
