Makes me think of Pascal Coin.
What was the point ? Really.. seriously what is the point in rewriting a coin in a new language ?
I think with Pascal the guy failed and decided to make it sort of work then decided to market that as being creative. LOL
It's not like he said i wanted XYZ feature and it was pascal that was NEEDED to fulfill this goal.
If you are astute you can see what the guy was doing.

Anyone who actually understands the technologies involved would ROTFLMAO when reading the following nonsense:

Technically, Pascal Coin uses a SafeBox hash, modified
each time a new block is generated in the blockchain.
When this happens, SafeBox is updated with block operations,
and then generates a new "SafeBox hash".
After this, the entire blockchain could be deleted without losing
double spending efficiency, because the balance of each account is
included in the SafeBox hash.
SafeBox size is growing, but only 5 new accounts are
created per block to control the size.

But the problem is that speculators do not understand the technologies, thus they can become excited by absolute bullshit such as the above.

A blockchain has a top-level hash to record the Merkel tree history of transactions. You can't delete the blockchain history because the UTXO may populate any block in the history. The only way to discard the history is to selectively delete the transaction details (aka pruning) as each UTXO is spent, or to have an account balances design wherein each block restates all the current account balances. But in terms of disk space, both of those methods are equivalent. And an account balances design has some severe deficiencies which I detail my yet unpublished white paper.

When someone such as myself actually produces a project that is very well documented and explained and I come out in videos and explain why the project is not bullshit and why is it big time important, these bullshit shitcoins are going to be sold off in a firesale.

Edit: I just glanced at the PascalCoin whitepaper for the first time, and (as I anticipated above) in the first section it explains it is using an account balances design and an integer account number instead of hash of public key similar to the Graphene (Steem) optimizations. I ridicule this sort of design in my yet unpublished whitepaper. I don't feel like digging up the details from my whitepaper right now, but in any case there is nothing important here. Move on from this shit. (Now some of the PascalCoin holders are going to troll me, sigh)
