I seek an experienced blockchain developer to design and develop a new cryptocurrency. This ambitious project aims to leverage the power of distributed ledger technology by creating a novel digital currency and associated blockchain. The successful applicant will be responsible for generating the technical specifications, designing the coin architecture, and programming the underlying blockchain platform. Specific tasks will include developing the coin algorithms, implementing encryption standards, integrating a mining protocol, designing blockchain consensus mechanisms, and deploying the distributed network. The coin's source code must be fully open source and optimized for scalability, security and decentralization. Documentation for end-users and additional wallet/exchange integration may also be included. A thorough understanding of cryptocurrency fundamentals, decentralized networks, programming languages like Solidity/Rust and consensus protocols is essential. Applicants should have practical experience building blockchain applications from initialization to deployment. Proficiency with tools like Truffle, Ganache and testing frameworks is preferred. The goal is to launch a mainnet within 6 months. Interested developers with a solid portfolio of similar work are encouraged to submit proposals outlining their qualifications and technical approach for this ambitious new digital currency project.
