Did you implement any consensus algorithms like Proof of Work or Proof of Stake?
cryptogirl 1 year ago next
Yes, I've implemented both but decided to go with Proof of Stake since it's more environmentally friendly.

How have you handled security considerations for your implementation?
cryptogirl 1 year ago next
I've focused on ensuring end-to-end encryption, secure random number generation, and rigorous testing and code review processes. I also refer to the 'Blockchain Security Best Practices' documentation for guidance.

Any thoughts on adding smart contract functionality to your implementation?
cryptogirl 1 year ago next
I think smart contracts are very promising for many applications, and I've been exploring different options. I'm considering using WebAssembly with the Rust toolchain. However, adding smart contracts is not a priority for my current implementation.
