Fairly ambitious "composite coin." Watching, but I can tell you right now I'll never be able to remember it as anything but "numb-nuts."

Could you give a rough ETA? (Q1, Q2, Q3+?) Are you looking for help? Do you have a team?

Ambitious yes. But, since Nummum is modular progress can be made in steps or in parallel. Also, I am not coming up with any new ideas, just drawing existing ones together. The code for Zerocoin, p2pool, Bitmessage, scrypt etc. exist in one form or other already.

The "numb-nuts" thing is almost intentional. Nummnet is easy to remember now isn't it? Wink

I used the same trick when deciding on a name for the Anonummum module (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N_tupPBtWQ).

Bitcoin core developer Jeff Garzik had mentioned that he was going to complete the picocoin client over the holiday period but this has not happened. I am sure he is a very busy man. Nummum is forked from picocoin and it would have been nice to have a more complete starting point. Nonetheless, I have forked picocoin in it's current state and will keep a close eye on what Jeff does with picocoin in the future.

Today I am just floating my idea to see what kind of reception it receives. Tomorrow I start coding.

At the moment I have no team but I am very much open to the idea. If other developers think that this is a worthwhile endeavour they are most welcome to assist.

Nummum
