It’s been nearly a year since Goldcoin Lead Developer, Amir Eslampanah, first announced his bold plan to rewrite the Bitcoin codebase and create a truly customized and unique java client. Now, finally, after months of laboring over miles of code, an alpha will be born this month and released unto the open-source wild.
For ten months he has labored in his private computer laboratory creating the building blocks that will propel Goldcoin closer to its destination of reaching critical mass. Eslampanah explained over Skype:
"In terms of wallet functionality, modularity, security, and sheer performance, the Goldcoin wallet will be unrivaled. Block download times will also be decreased considerably thanks to on-the-fly compression and multi-threaded download capability."
After finding the standard Bitcoin codebase not suitable as a cryptocurrency foundation, Akumaburn (as he is known on the forums), set out to create something bigger, something better, something he could call his very own.
The new client would make Goldcoin the first mineable cryptocurrency built on Java, the first to rewrite the Bitcoin codebase, and the first to support multiple cryptocurrencies. In an industry that awards innovation, this new application could become a winner. On October 17th, the world will get its first view of the young developer’s latest masterpiece.
Goldcoin (GLD) is a popular digital currency that allows consumers to make online purchases with little to no fee. Goldcoin is currently trading at just under one cent per coin with a market capitalization of $210,212.00 according to Coinmarketcap.com.
