It's no secret that crypto currency has a long way to go before it experiences mass adoption. Many people like to point out how difficult it can be the for the average user to learn how to send and receive crypto with their friends and purchase coins off an exchange. The user friendliness of Crypto Currency is certainly an obstacle for mass adoption but that is not crypto's biggest problem. The biggest problem is that it's not developer friendly. 

How many people out there can program a computer? Not very many. How many of them know how to code in solidity the blockchain's main programming language? Even less... a lot less. Think about all of the websites, apps, and online games that developers have put pain staking amounts of time developing and now think about making them crypto friendly. The task is pretty much impossible. How will we ever take those centralized data bases, stores, and websites and make them work with a decentralized system? 

The answer is Open Platform

If crypto is going to happen it needs to be easy for developers to implement. Open Platform does this by making an Ethereum based blockchain tailored for developers. It will be set up for any programming language, not require vast amounts of block chain knowledge and will allow the centralized data base to update with the block chain. It's a developers dream!

Open Platform is set up so a developer can merely plug his program in and it's ready to go. He no longer has to learn a new programming language and completely rewrite his old code so that it will work with the block chain. Open Platform provides a "scaffolding system" so that it does the heavy lifting for the developer. The developer can even keep his old centralized system in place so he can keep his old centralized data base. This is a much better choice for developers than starting from scratch.

At this point some of us may be thinking "why should I care if I'm not a computer programmer"? Well, if we want places to spend our hard owned crypto this is the best thing that can happen for us. Besides that the more merchants, online games, stores, and marketplaces that accept crypto the higher in value it will become. This is great for all of us. 

I also want to point out that Open Platform is compatible with whatever coin the developer wants to accept. No one ever needs to use the Open Platform when going to the developers app or website when making payments. Instead, the developer can accept Ether, BAT, Divi, Raiden, or whatever else is popular. Finally, main stream Web sites will be able to accept our crypto; it's about time!

For the purpose of this introductory article I am not including in depth information on how the technology will work or even Open Platforms road map. Instead, I highly recommend that everyone does their due dilligance and reads the White paper at: https://s3.amazonaws.com/openmoney/OPEN-Platform-WP-02-27.pdf 

I also highly suggest visiting their website where they show a video of their product up and running. It shows the process a developer would go through to attach Open Platform and it only takes five minutes! Check it out at: http://www.openfuture.io/

This could be one of the better ICO's I have seen. Check it out and let me know what you think about it in the comments.
