Hi everybody.
I'm finalizing a project to create a cryptocurrency written 100% in Pascal.
I think it's an interesting project for people who like the cryptocurrency world (like BitCoin) but usually don't develop with C code...
All started some time ago when I wanted to understand how BitCoin works and I discovered something to innovate and improve... but I'm not a good C developer because my preferred language is Pascal, so I wrote a completely new cryptocurrency using pascal code.
Important things about this new cryptocurrency:
- The only thing similar to BitCoin is that will be P2P anb use a Proof-of-Work method to generate a BlockChain... but:
- Will use a more secure EC algorithm (Elliptic Curve)
- Will be able to delete the blockchain and will not need to store all the operations to work (nowadays BitCoin is more than 23Gb of space, increasing quickly, 5 or 10 o more Gb per year). My proposition is to create a blockchain that can be deleted to use less space.
- ... and much more!
The only part of code not developed in Pascal is because I use the OpenSSL in DLL format (I'm developing in Windows), so I've not rewritten a cryptography code ...
For your interest:
- I've never developed with Lazarus, because I use Delphi... I think it will easily be portable because the important code is not in visual components... but I will need some help if you want when finished.
A question: Do you know if exists a cryptocurrency written in Pascal? (I'll be happy if I'm the first)
Another question: Would you like to participate in?
