This blockchain is no longer maintained. It was a rough draft for Flying Fox. https://github.com/BumblebeeBat/FlyingFox

====About this software
For now, there is a week-long cycle. for the first 7/8ths of the cycle: votecoin-holders may give encrypted votes on decisions. (in the final version of truthcoin, this step will take 1000+ blocks) for the next 1/10th of the cycle: votecoin-holders may decrypt their votes for the final 1/40th of the cycle: if there are at least 3 votecoin-holders, and at least 5 decisions they have voted on, then we can do SVD to come to consensus about these decisions.
Security assumption for truthcoin-pow is a lot weaker than bitcoin. It is only secure if there is always at least one person mining for blocks. If more than 2 hours pass where no-one is mining, then it becomes far easier to attack.
This blockchain currently has a bad retargetting algorithm. Because of this, it is not suitable for holding real value. It is still good for testing and developing a truthcoin system. Long term goal is to use proof-of-stake anyway.
