vHi qing3gan, I'm working on Certcoin as part of my master's thesis. The current version of the whitepaper is here https://www.dropbox.com/s/7kb639m1ovf05zq/certcoin.pdf?dl=0 Our solution uses a blockchain to reach consensus on the set of registered (Identity, Public Key) pairs. As described in the paper, this set is compactly represented as a cryptographic accumulator that lightweight clients can use to authenticate other identities. I have some working blockchain code in another repo (OZcoin) which I'll be migrating over so I should have a working prototype up in a week or two.

Hi, I would like to use Certcoin/Namecoin/Authcoin as an alternative CA for a large quantity of internet of things devices. Some of the development appears to be stopped, what is the best way to go for maintained code ?

Hi Connor Same here, with regard to my master thesis I'd like to set up the Certcoin just as described in the paper. Our final goal here is to decide whether we can run our project on top of Certcoin or not.

This repo doesn't seem to work out of the box yet. Tracking from the main function, (with my infant go skills) I can guess that current version is a demonstration of the functionalities and API.

so, How does one set this up? P.S. the Kademlia repo of yours is the same code that is used in the Certcoin DHT?

@cfromknecht The code does not work out of box, Is there any fix to this?
