One of the earliest non-Bitcoin altcoins was written in PHP!

It's a crazy project that never really went anywhere, but the website is still up at https://timekoin.com, and knightmb still occasionally commits code to it.

Here is the github for the project https://github.com/knightmb/timekoin

Thank you all.
I'll study a little more and think about development...

Await news. I will lock this topic.

I've played around with some php modules that do ECC and they are much slower than compiled code or python that used binary modules.

I think to do it in php effectively you would have to use binary modules which may mean writing them yourself.

CLI PHP it's practical and daemons with modified timeouts and RAM config-strings. I'd use Python though just because it's pretty much made for CLI tools(even though it supports CGI too).

I have a lot of stuff with wallet APIs in PHP but that's as far as I go.

Why would you want an coin written in a scripting language? What advantage would it have?

I think the code maintenance.
But I'm thinking about it only. Wanting to open this discussion if you think it feasible.

So it's just that I'm thinking of creating something new, using another different of C++, something facing Web.
I'm still very studying the issue, but would like to know more opinions of the developers of this community if it is a big waste of time.
Having a core built entirely in PHP, it might be a crazy, yes I know.

I may write code in exchange for bitcoins.

Is there any Cryptocoin project entirely based on PHP or Javascript? Do you think it's possible? I'm thinking of something. I give up?

I'd certainly be surprised if there were since PHP is especially created for doing CGI and javascript is especially targeted at controlling a web browser. I know, i know, that javascript especially is being used for more and more things. If it turns out that there is such a coin, I'd certainly be interested to hear about it. In any case, I'm pretty sure that 90% of the coins are just clones of bitcoin in terms of their core crypto so, that's all C++.
