Read the paper and looked at the forum threads but nothing seems to point to the actual ForkStar client you want people to use to join in?

Hello,

The purpose of publishing this academic paper is purely for academic discussion. The project is still in the development phase, and we hope to attract top engineers, mathematicians, and cryptographers to join us in building the MailCoin mainnet. We need more outstanding talents to create a more open and free cryptocurrency ecosystem together.

Excitingly, this morning, we reached an important milestone—the metzdowd.com Maillist, which first published the Bitcoin whitepaper, reviewed and approved my paper and officially published it in Cryptography Digest Vol 142, Issue 4. This marks the first cryptocurrency-related academic paper published in this forum since Bitcoin’s inception over a decade ago. We hope that MailCoin can bring more freedom to the world and help usher in the era of Decentralization 2.0.

As for ForkStar, it is developed based on an open-source project and currently serves only as a communication tool for the early developer community, facilitating discussions, recruitment, and technical collaboration. ForkStar itself is an end-to-end encrypted communication tool, operating over the SMTP/IMAP protocol, ensuring complete anonymity and privacy protection for users. In the future, MailCoin will also be built on ForkStar as the core client, providing users with a secure and efficient encrypted payment and communication experience.

We look forward to more technical experts joining us in driving the growth of the MailCoin ecosystem together!
