Re: [ANN] [PASC] PascalCoin: Deletable blockchain - Like Bank accounts [SAFEBOX]
I'd like to see the following features added to PascalCoin:
Anything that will make PascalCoin more distributed and less reliant on DNS:
1. Distributed Hash Tree (Like uTorrent has to find other peers via magnet links) Though I believe DHT and distributed database still rely on some DNS not sure though.
2. Multicast Support for finding other peers. This would probably be a better solution than DHT because it will not rely on DNS and IPv6 supports it. I haven't tested IPv6 Multicast yet though. But PascalCoin seems like a good candidate to test this new internet functionality !
Technical changes to the source codes:
3. Removal of spaces and replaced by tabs for most faster code editing.
4. Splitting of large pascal files into multiple for easier editing and faster scrolling and easier finding of functionality in specific files instead of having to find it via searches or scrolling.
5. Perhaps resolve of circular references in classes and units.
Perhaps removal of RandomHash1 and RandomHash2:
6. RandomHash seems to have failed to distribute coins to many peers and therefore is just massive code bloat and a maintance and porting nightmare.

re point 6:
Mining has not been in any way profitable for 3 years. GPUs or otherwise. Back when it was GPU only even. Coming from 4 1080tis right when they were released.
What is the issue with DNS? It uses dynamic DNS and it always works. It's not hardcored.
