I am working on a new crypto in Rust called NCoin

I am mostly using it as a learning opportunity as it is the most complex thing I have ever programmed.

Currently it is a single node application and loses its state on close, but I am working on serializing the blockchain to disk and making a working p2p multi node system. Then I was going to move onto longest chain and optimizations for scaling and prod.

My idea to make it different would be that block rewards are constant for all time and fees dont go to miners, instead fees are burned to prevent inflation. I am going to work on a system to automatically change the fee percentage based on inflation to keep it manageable with a constant reward.

The project is hosed at https://gitlab.com/savagedevs/ncoin if you are interested you can star it.

For me I think the hardest part will be p2p networking, so if you are good at that and like the idea of my coin I could use the help while I work on optimizations and prod readiness.

Any ideas or suggestions, I would love to hear them.
