Re: 🚀 [ANN][TWIST] TWIST : Revolutionising Blockchain Accessibility 🚀

Toolbox will have kind of public/private APIs so other developers can build third-party apps based on twist blockchain. am i right?

Yep that's the plan for TWIST API. We want to make it easy for programmers to utilise our blockchain in their applications so we aim to provide API endpoints for easily writing/retrieving data to/from the TWIST blockchain.

Is there sandbox or test api, so dev can integrate for more application.

We aim to provide a testing mode for the API yes.

@dev

any plan to fix compilation error with latest openssl on Linux???

this bugs is similar to:

https://github.com/FeatherCoin/Feathercoin/issues/177

and many other.

possible fix from https://github.com/peercoin/peercoin/commit/5b09830e5de0f5105534e69dbf4acffb3255869b

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We will be looking into it!

What was the reason that made you go with Elliptic curve encryption for storing the PK on the blockchain compared to other types of encryption?

Why does not everyone use this type of encryption?

Bitcoin uses Elliptic curve encryption

We needed to use asymmetric encryption and decided on ECC over the more widely used RSA because the keys could be generated more efficiently and were shorter in length (which is ideal since they would take up less space on the blockchain).
