Hi everybody,
I'm pretty new to the cryptocoin world, i'm a programmer (a good one in my field) but new to this subject but i see some potential (and fun) in some idea i'd like to carry on.
I'm going to do a sort of "brainstorming" (starting by myself
)
I've read some thread around here, but i've not found what i'm looking for (even if i'm sure that if i search a bit more i can find something) but since this subject evolve everyday, i try to have some "new" answers to those points (that i try to argue):
1) how can i Integrate transaction between multiple cryptocurrency in a website, without using external services that require a third party trust?I know that there are service (talking about bitcoin) like
http://blockchain.info/it/api/api_receive to receive paiment but i want a solution that i can handle 360°, because after all, cryptocoins are based upon a "don't have a mom that tell you what you can or can't do" and a Trusted Third Parties could be not so... trustworthy
I think that i could run many wallet and use RPC communication to do operations, but this requires full server control on the server (to launch .exe) and firewall settings to go through many ports (one for every wallet)
Maybe this is a mandatory request (full server control) but the point is that using many wallets makes server fall on his knees because in that case server would be a cluster of cryptocoins nodes... If i need a service to send and receive paiments, did i need a full wallet to do that in local?
My programming background is C# (Winforms, WPF, BackEnd Services), ASP.Net(HTML/CSS, MVC, EF, Javascript, JQuery/ExtJS and other frameworks like bootstrap and others), Java (Android development) plus a bounch of old languages (VB, C/C++ and sorry if i put C++ in the "old" section
) so i'm not scared to get my hand dirty, but i'd like to know where to point my efforts
my preferences and requests point me to adopt dotnet framework so ASP.Net web app and maybe some webservice/webapi to integrate coins operations
I don't want to reinvent the wheel, but i haven't find dotnet solutions that do what i need and i prefer to not have to port a java or c++ source (but if you point me to a nice code that can help me it would not be a problem)
What do you think about this subject 1?
2) new altcoin ( ? )Suppose that i have an idea (i didn't pretend to have a "new" idea, probably there is a coin of this type around) about a possible cryptocoin usage and i want to have a personalized one, what are the steps i need to follow to launch a coin, technically speaking ?
And not technically, to say something about the idea, i don't want to do a "hey come on everybody come to mine my coin to be rich" coin, but i want to have a coin that have an intrinsic value because based on a real thing that you can buy with it.
Imagine that i distribute many coins in different places and that coins are distributed again to the public to buy some items, the teorical intrinsic value of the coind would be the price (in $, Euros or whatever) of the bought goods/coins required.
if this coin spread, could be traded if people are not interested in the goods that they could buy and so this could have some value
To incentivate trades i could allow for mining and rewards with coins but here come the questions:
what will be the right setup of the coin? i mean should i premine ~90%? 100? 10? and why?
how do you choose coin parameters like max coin numbers, difficulty increase, and so on?
I know this is a post full of question and maybe a bit confusing (after all i'm confused
) so any help would be appreciated, i think that knowledge has to come first (every useful link appreciated too)
P.S.
i know that to have a good coin, many persons has to mine it, to keep the coin safe and not being taken over by a powerful miner, what are the strategies to accomplish this nowaday?
