Building a blockchain in javascript!

[cryptoworld99]

Hi, I am building a blockchain (POW concept) if you have any ideas or suggestions you'd like me to implement let me know below, any contributors are more than welcome to join me on this project.


Before any of you say we don't need another altcoin - this is not an altcoin it will be a very own small scalable blockchain fully coded in javascript.


Javascript and blockchain will be an awesome combo!

I don't think JavaScript is a particularly a good choice for a blockchain
I would personally discount it for a lack of real type safety and plenty of weird behavior. But Lisk is written in javascript and AFAIK didn't catastrophically burn down

i am wondering whether you are actually implementing everything for a new cryptocurrency or if you are simply building stuff around different existing libraries because if it is the later then what @ActivatedWalnut said becomes more correct as you have more dependencies instead of being a stand alone project. otherwise i wouldn't say JavaScript is bad for this purpose per se.

Do you recommend any new methods of coin generation, would be interesting to code and once I release the code more people can contribute

What about a good cause that could generate coin backed by donations?

If this small and scalable blockchain of yours will have it's coin or currency then it is called altcoin.
Anything built from start is better then copying other projects like most are doing,
but before making anything you need to have some purpose for that blockchain...
