Roadmap

Prototype 1 (Sept. 1, 2017)

First usable application that has the most basic functionality as a crypto-currency.

Features

• start nodes with some options using a CLI
• send transactions using a CLI
• run tens of nodes simultaneously
• disconnect and reconnect nodes without causing service disruptions

Requirements

• CLI for starting a new peer and creating transactions
• Simple PoW system with algorithm for miners to run and consensus rules to verify PoW and generate next PoW
• P2P network that gracefully scales to tens of nodes
• Consensus rules that allows nodes to interact rationally

Release (May 1, 2018)

Viable crypto-currency that is interesting as a tech demo.

Features

• User-friendly CLI for all common operations (as a currency user, not node operator)
• Scales to thousands of nodes

Ideas

• Leverage PoW for useful computation
• transaction fees
• adjustable PoW difficulty
• balance-based (or other) transaction structure rather than referencing previous transactions
