Zold is an experimental non-Blockchain cryptocurrency for fast micropayments. It was invented and implemented by Zerocracy in order to bootstrap the revolution of management in software development. The cryptocurrency is in LIVE mode at the moment (there is no "test net"). The first transaction has been sent on the 27th of May, 2018. It is written entirely in Ruby at the moment. Alternative implementations are welcome, the RESTful HTTP-based protocol is open and documented.
Most important principles of Zold:
* No Blockchain
* No general ledger
* Proof of Work
* Lightweight nodes (possible to run even on a mobile phone)
* Detached offline payment processing
* Centralized root wallet
* Taxes instead of transaction fees
* Zero-trust nodes
* Full anonymity (no tracking of IP addresses)
* Pre-mined with 2 billion total capacity
* Master and edge nodes
It is not traded in any exchanges, as of yet. The rate is defined by Zerocracy and is 0.00026 BTC at the moment.
