[ANN] Datacoin - Censorship-Free Data Storage

[extro24]

CONTINUATION OF OLD COIN.
Original OP (2013) here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=325735.0

What is Datacoin (DTC)?
Data is stored in the blockchain forever and can be retrieved using a transaction hash as an identifier.
Datacoin is a platform that can be used by applications such as torrent trackers, encrypted messaging services,
and can be used to store other kinds of small data - all censorship-free.
Developers can store torrent files, certificates, computer programs, HTML pages and other kinds of meta-information
in the Datacoin blockchain.
Windows users can use a GUI wallet, Linux users should compile datacoind or Datacoin-QT from source (see instructions).
Wallets are in development, and more features are coming soon, but the wallet’s current functionality is similar to other coins.

What is the algorithm of this coin?

[gawajn]

As it is block chain tech, is everybody able to read all the data which is saved on the chain?
Also are there any pools open, where I can mine the coin?

[Nggedebus]

The project look interesting, Having more way to do a transaction using crypto currency will be a lot better everyone using it.

[extro24]

What is the algorithm of this coin?

Prime algorithm. 

[extro24]

As it is block chain tech, is everybody able to read all the data which is saved on the chain?

Pool:  https://dtc.graymines.net.  You can also do solo-mining in the wallet:  go to console and type "setgenerate true".

Using a browser like DTC browser or Apertus you can read what is in the chain.

[dtc2017]

Also are there any pools open, where I can mine the coin?

Now is an ideal time to begin mining, with the current low difficulty you can still get a decent amount of coins per day with a single cpu instance

[pedrog]

Traded datacoin back in the day, one of my first altcoins.

There are no new clients yet, correct?

[sarfield]

This one should be great, having our data stored in a save place and also there is related with digital coins at the same time.
I think this is a great combination.

[Robin37s]

the github says “This file may contain malware and the automatic download has been disabled”，and the file is too old now.i think new wallet may be needed

[liaoguipan]

now it is very easy to mine

[niknik1966]

What is the goal of capitalization of your project?

Click on the "direct link" on the Sourceforge page.

I have sent an email to the Coinomi team to see if we can add Datacoin to their Android wallet.

I understand that Android wallets are light clients, and that they will run the datacoin daemon on their servers - basically the same as an exchange.

This is an example of them adding IXCoin:  https://github.com/Coinomi/coinomi-android/commit/0be43f98f88041adf91ef8f3adfc703caa7d181b

Any thoughts/ideas/criticism of this idea is most welcome.

And privacy, who guarantees that your data will actually be saved and privacy? Well, I'm not criticizing the project, more privacy is above all else.

[extro24]

What is the goal of capitalization of your project?

Our first goal now is just to get it listed on an exchange.  I have no idea what the market will do to the price.

If you can tolerate the informality, I have an MXE cross-compiled Windows binary available. All I had time for was to check that it runs on a Windows 10 VM, mind you. And I couldn't manage to successfully compile the qrencode facility, so I had to disable it pro tem.

There's no restriction on what is stored, if you wish to store encrypted data for maximum opacity. Data is saved when the block is mined, for a fee. It's a transaction, subject to the usual rules pertaining to transactions.
