Title: List of Coins that have some serious features being Developed
Post by: ShibecoinSucks on June 07, 2014, 11:08:28 PM
Hello everyone, I am interested in compiling a list of alt coins that have some serious development of features going on. A lot of coins have been created recently and just left as they are, many developers are just creating coins everyday to suck a little bit of profit from the traders. It's sad and pathetic, we can control this and we should do something about it!

But I have been looking at some coins that have some interesting features being developed and I would like to know about some more, this list isn't for coins that we already know about like ASIC proof coins, anonymity features, solving math problems or curing diseases or POS. I'm looking for coins that will have some NEW interesting features to them.

I'd like to start with Silkcoin, they are developing a decentralized ecosystem that you can use as a social network and file sharing site. This is quite interesting, I'm not sure exactly how it will work along side of the coin itself, but i will definitely be watching this coin to see how this goes.

So please list you coin and the feature and a link to where I can read more! Thanks!

Check out Cryptonite. We are working on a system to remove all but a few days of block chain history. The amount of pruning is variable and could be done differently but this implementation will set a hard limit at about 1 week. Very exciting to not need to store history back to genesis. Some fundamental changes have been made like removal of scripts while still allowing multisignature transactions. We also have the full lot of usual altcoin changes. Such as new proof of work, new retargetting algorithm and new number of coins (extended to full 64 bit precision).  Links to further information are in the testing thread at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=643758.0

AweSome! This is exactly what I'm looking for, I never heard of this and it looks exciting! How much work is going into this?

It's probably the largest change to bitcoin codebase ever made and the process is very much ongoing. The current diff stat is some 32,000 lines of code changed, although to be fair, probably half of that is from libraries we have imported.
