So what's Hedera Hashgraph?
Hedera Hashgraph is distributed ledger technology developed by Leemon Baird, Mance Harmon and a bunch of other clever people.
It is an asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance consensus algorithm capable of securing the platform against attacks.
They is a lot of educational content, they have institutional backing, including Nomura and Deusche Telecomm
They were in the news recently with their Wall Street Journal ad.
For more information look at Messari's entry, and check out Coin Rivet's interview with co-founder Mance: “We are ready to compete with Libra”
So what are hbars?
Hbars or h are the platform utility token, which grants token holders access to distributed applications (Dapps) on the platform.
How can I earn some hbars?
Join the Community testing program (now phase two), allowing up to 100,000 individual testers the opportunity to earn up to 1250 ℏ each. You'll be stress testing peer-to-peer micropayments. The sign up process is a little long and you'll need to take care, but I believe it is worth it.
