Description:

In the last year crypto-currencies such as Bitcon have become popular. This project proposes a new crypto-currency system which allows music artists to upload their music in MP3 format to the website that I implement and earn the currency I have create. The currency amount depends on how long the website users listening to the music. The technology which I am going to use are JavaScript for the front end of website, Php for the back end of website, One way function to do the hash encryption for currency coin.

Schedule:

Deliverables:

The full project will be done when CS298 is completed. The following will be done by the end of CS297:

1. Read BitCoin paper and install BitCoin wallet

2. Use JavaScript to implement a hash function work in new currency

3. Use JavaScript to implement Tiger hash

4. Use JavaScript to implement function to compute hashes while audio playing

5. A ten page writer report on the progress made in CS297
