NummumNummum is yet another alternative crypto-currency with code based on bitcoin core developer Jeff Garzik's libccoin and picocoin. Nummum's main purposes are educational (for me) as well as experimental. All the better if it has some benefit for others too. Nummum does not re-invent the wheel. It takes several working crypto-currency concepts and amalgamates them into a single modular and scalable solution. It is very much a work in progress. Most of the features in the feature list have not yet been implemented (see TODO lists) so at the moment it is more of a wish list than a feature list. All forms of contribution and constructive criticism are most welcome. Key Features- No pre-mining
- Built-in pseudo-anonymity as well as an ūber-anonymous module with Zerocoin-like functionality
- P2P pool mining module with p2pool-like functionality
- Messaging module similar to Bitmessage for messaging between addresses
- Coloured coin / token module
- P2P exchange module that uses the DML/chan feature of the messaging module to announce, discover and agree potential trades then set up trading contracts (needs more thought)
See Trading across chains - Gambling / betting module that uses the DML/chan feature of the messaging module to announce, discover, agree and settle wagers
- Ability to add other crypto-currencies as a module
- Ability to add tax module for governmental use
- Unlike bitcoin, which is the name of network, the protocol, the client and the currency unit (sometimes confusing when explaining to new users) Nummum has a slightly different name for each of these layers
- Reference client can operate as either a full-chain client or a header-only client (SPV mode)
See Thin Client Security - Reference client can optionally use a truncated block chain
- Initial block reward 255
- Gradual, non-linear decay of block reward
- Block reward never reaches 0. Starts at 255 then gradually reduces to and settles at 1 after ~51 years
- Ūber-anonymity incurs a larger fee
- Block interval 63 seconds
- Difficulty adjustment every block, calculated using a moving average
- Uses SHA-3 (SHAKE-512 instead of SHA-256 and RIPE-160)
- Uses scrypt
- Uses Proof of Work / Proof of Stake hybrid (maybe not, needs more thought)
- Currency units divisible to 9 decimal places
- Written as a C library (libnummum) with reference executables including a relay daemon (commeō), a Nummum client (nummus) and a messaging client (nūntius)
- Each module written as a C library

This seems to be 1000% better than all the copy/scam/crap coins.

Would you mind explain this? How are the coins assigned at beginning and how do you prevent forging? Maybe you mean PoW-PoW hybrid?

I meant PoW/PoS hybrid. Now fixed in original post.

Yes, I want to distance Nummum from the current copy'n'paste frenzy. That was one of the reasons I chose to fork picocoin. There were several other reasons also. I wish to develop a modular and scalable ecosystem that is not a Jack of all trades, master of none

No, not even close. Read original post: It is very much a work in progress. Most of the features in the feature list have not yet been implemented (see TODO lists) so at the moment it is more of a wish list than a feature list.

I like the idea and appreciate the honesty about it being for educational use. I really like the idea of more intregration... Great to see something beyond a straight clone. Good luck! I'll be keeping my eye out for updates.

Primarily but not exclusively educational. If Nummum proves to be practical for real world use, well and good. Now that I have floated my ideas publicly I am open to others getting involved in the development also. We may learn from each other.

Fairly ambitious "composite coin." Watching, but I can tell you right now I'll never be able to remember it as anything but "numb-nuts."
Could you give a rough ETA? (Q1, Q2, Q3+?) Are you looking for help? Do you have a team?

Ambitious yes. But, since Nummum is modular progress can be made in steps or in parallel. Also, I am not coming up with any new ideas, just drawing existing ones together. The code for Zerocoin, p2pool, Bitmessage, scrypt etc. exist in one form or other already. The "numb-nuts" thing is almost intentional. Nummnet is easy to remember now isn't it? ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) I used the same trick when deciding on a name for the Anonummum module ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N_tupPBtWQ). Bitcoin core developer Jeff Garzik had mentioned that he was going to complete the picocoin client over the holiday period but this has not happened. I am sure he is a very busy man. Nummum is forked from picocoin and it would have been nice to have a more complete starting point. Nonetheless, I have forked picocoin in it's current state and will keep a close eye on what Jeff does with picocoin in the future. Today I am just floating my idea to see what kind of reception it receives. Tomorrow I start coding. At the moment I have no team but I am very much open to the idea. If other developers think that this is a worthwhile endeavour they are most welcome to assist.
