Roadmap
The Goldcoin Community is dedicated to building the most secure and valuable currency ever in existence. It’s “Hard Money” for the new digital World
What is GoldCoin?
We believe Satoshi Nakamoto’s original protocol had the ability to scale out-of-the-box and that on-chain scaling is crucial for the long term health of Goldcoin. Throttling the main chain and forcing transactions onto side networks weakens... the system, changes economic incentives, and increases regulatory exposure of network participants. In addition to preserving the principles of the original design, we’ve made several additional improvements to harden the network including the design of a 51% Attack Defense System, and innovative GoldenRiver difficulty algorithm.
Now, as mainstream consumers are being exposed to cryptocurrencies for the first time, we’re seeing our adoption rate skyrocket. In order to maintain pace with this increasing demand, we will be adding an iOS app and performing a full network upgrade over the winter months. This upgrade will bring a host of new features to our client including Bloom Filters and Coin Control.
Then, in the Spring of 2018, the team will kick off a World Conference Tour that will allow us to showcase our technology and new software to the cryptocurrency industry.
November/December 2017
[Client upgrade]
In late November, work will begin on our client upgrade that will improve mining and SPV wallet performance. This update will come in the way of a soft fork remaining 100% backward compatible with older clients.
January/February 2018
[Upgrade finalization, testnet]
Through February, we plan to run the new client on a private Testnet for testing and bug checking. Preserving backward compatibility is a high priority and we especially want to check how the new client handles cross-talk between older versions.
March 2018
[Upgrade rollout, Whitepaper]
Now that the client has been fully tested it’s time to build and sign the binaries and roll out the upgrade. This roll out will be done in conjunction with a series of news articles and press releases. In March, we will also release the long-anticipated official Goldcoin Whitepaper.
July 2018
[New Website]
During July, a brand new redesign for the Goldcoin.org website will be launched. We are currently working with a design agency to create a new state-of-the-art decentralized website complete with new GoldCoin logo. Once the new website comes online, the previous website will be moved to GoldcoinCore.org.
August/September 2018
[iOS App]
During August and September, TOGA Internet Solutions LLC will be working to win approval by Apple to have the newly built iOS app listed in the App Store.
Winter/Spring 2018 (World Conference Tour)
Now that we’ve completed the development work it’s time to showcase our network and new client various features by taking the show on the road. The team will begin a tour that will take them across North America, Germany, and to select International cryptocurrency conferences.
