| An open-source Bitcoin solution written in Go language (golang).
| | For more information on the GoCoin International Payment Platform, please visit the [[GoCoin]] Page. |
| It can be built for every platform that has a working Go compiler.
| |
| It uses a proprietary license, though is free to use for non-commercial purposes.
| |
| | |
| ==Features==
| |
| | |
| Gocoin has a several unique features, that distinguish it from the original bitcoin client.
| |
| | |
| ===Node===
| |
| * All the unspent outputs are kept in memory, so switching between different wallets is very fast.
| |
| * Allows a user to limit the upload and download network bandwidth used by the client.
| |
| * Works with its own implementation of a cold storage wallet.
| |
| | |
| ===Wallet===
| |
| * For security reasons, it is supposed to be used with a PC that has never been (and will never be) connected to a network.
| |
| * The wallet is deterministic and a seed-password based, so as long as you remember the password, you do not need to backup it, ever.
| |
| * Additionally you can import private keys for your existing bitcoin wallet.
| |
| * Has very low hardware requirements, so you can run it on i.e. Raspberry Pi
| |
| | |
| ==Requirements==
| |
| The client node requires 64-bit platform and at least 4GB of system memory. It also requires a file system that can handle files larger than 4GB.
| |
| | |
| ==Limitations==
| |
| * No GUI, though the online node has web interface
| |
| * No IPv6
| |
| * No UPnP
| |
| | |
| ==History==
