Title: I am not a kook (or a crook)... an altcoin that verifies in seconds! Post by: jfhoff on June 27, 2013, 12:09:17 PM Listen... I know you are going to think I am a kook and dismiss me out-of-hand, and if you are NOT intimately familiar with Bitcoin protocol and capable of coding an altcoin client, read no further (just please spare me the disparaging comments).
I think I have an idea on how to create an altcoin protocol (I'm dubbing it Zapcoin) that: - verifies in seconds; - does not require solving a puzzle as a proof-of-work; - is fully distributed à la Bitcoin; - employs no trusted party. I know, it can't be done. Don't bother telling me. But if you meet the qualifications above, I'd love to talk to you offline. I think I could code a proof-of-concept client myself, but I just don't have the time. I'd love to share the idea confidentially with a capable, trustworthy coder. Together we could develop a simple client and try it out... who knows? Here are some of my credentials: I have a 45-year career as a computer design engineer, working for Control Data, Elbit Computers Israel, Fibronics Israel, Honeywell, ADC Telecom, Lucent, Agere, Lattice Semi, Australian Semi, and currently my own startup; I have 4 patents and a patent pending; in my initial job, I was responsible for the floating-point divide unit on the CDC Star-100, the world's most powerful computer in its day (in the Guinness Book of World's Records as such). Through the years I have held top-secret clearances with DOE and FBI, and done some interesting stuff. I've been fascinated with Bitcoin since I learned of it two years ago, and though I haven't tried mining, I bought a substantial amount of coin at $15, so I've done well. As I say, only respond if you'd consider working with me, and be prepared to somehow demonstrate that I can trust you before expecting me to divulge details. me@zapcoin.org Title: Re: I am not a kook (or a crook)... an altcoin that verifies in seconds!

Post by: markm on June 27, 2013, 12:23:53 PM Of course it can be done. Easiest way is probably just to wait for ripple server source code to be released.
