New Cryptocurrency written using 'Rust', looking for another programmer

[mczarnek]

The coin I am making is pretty unique and different from any other coin I've seen out there.

Let me talk to you via private message, I suspect we could work something out though, particularly if you guys have any developers or marketers that I could hire, such as you.. mostly paying stock options for now but I could probably pay one developer in cash to help with a few of the smaller features required for the initial release. At that point we can get investors and have enough money to hire others.

Will there be an IPO/ICO  

Potentially.. the coin will mostly be given to people via mining but I may start with some initially sold in that fashion to raise some development funds.

I will postpone some money for it.

There is Skycoin written on Go, intresting to see large scale app on Rust.
Coin written on Swift is in the queue ;-)

I have a C++ guy interested in writing something in Rust. I'll ask him tomorrow about this. He is not a big fan of bitcon though.

[mczarnek]

Appreciate it 50_cent!

Anyone else?  I've got big plans for this currency.  This currency is going to be the result of almost 2 years of trying to fix all the things I thought were problems with Bitcoin.

I am in the process of writing a new cryptocurrency, because of the uniqueness of the mining algorithm, it needs to be re-written from scratch.

Are you using Hashcash for proof of work (with your own custom hash function) ?

No, more unique.. not POW or POS or POC. It is a blockchain though.

not POW or POS or POC. It is a blockchain though.

If it's not PoW then there's no mining.
If it's not PoS then there's no staking.

You may have to pick a new verb...

Indeed.. will have to think about it.

Just remember, Nothing is Cheaper than Proof of Work, according to

Honestly that article is a little hard to read in my opinion, though I think I get the idea. Think this same idea might at least partially get around it too though... we'll see.

We've got 4 coders on board at this point anyone else interested? Maybe another guy who would be interested in learning Rust? Happy to teach the cryptocurrency side of things.

Or a lawyer, so we can ask a couple trademark like questions and maybe a couple other things?

Or a marketer? Though we mostly have that covered.

Basically anyone who thinks they have skills, let me know and maybe we can put you to work.

Sounds interesting.  where's the source, you got a github?

Not yet, I'll probably throw one up soon though.. trying to decide if we should just put it all out there before we are ready to launch.

Anyway, send me a private message with email address, and maybe a little bit about your background? I'd be willing to share my part of the source so far though.

We have two Rust programmers including me and two web guys.
