interesting.
hmmm
just don't exagerate it with the Latin.
I was expecting a comment like this. Yes, I went a bit over the top with the Latin didn't I.
I wanted sightly different names for related things and Latin with all it's noun cases and verb conjugations fits that requirement. It may look like overkill when they are all listed together but I do not see end users using all of the modules and clients at the same time.
Another reason for choosing Latin is because it is a root for several European languages so the words will be familiar to more than just English speakers.
Latin also lends a certain gravitas. Oops, I did it again!
Nummum is yet another alternative crypto-currency
yayyyy 
So no GPU miner yet? 
Coin seems good, just don't exagerate it with the Latin.

WAITING....
Fairly ambitious "composite coin." Watching, but I can tell you right now I'll never be able to remember it as anything but "numb-nuts."
Could you give a rough ETA? (Q1, Q2, Q3+?) Are you looking for help? Do you have a team?

Ambitious yes. But, since Nummum is modular progress can be made in steps or in parallel. Also, I am not coming up with any new ideas, just drawing existing ones together. The code for Zerocoin, p2pool, Bitmessage, scrypt etc. exist in one form or other already.
The "numb-nuts" thing is almost intentional. Nummnet is easy to remember now isn't it?
I used the same trick when deciding on a name for the Anonummum module (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N_tupPBtWQ).
Bitcoin core developer Jeff Garzik had mentioned that he was going to complete the picocoin client over the holiday period but this has not happened. I am sure he is a very busy man. Nummum is forked from picocoin and it would have been nice to have a more complete starting point. Nonetheless, I have forked picocoin in it's current state and will keep a close eye on what Jeff does with picocoin in the future.
Today I am just floating my idea to see what kind of reception it receives. Tomorrow I start coding.
At the moment I have no team but I am very much open to the idea. If other developers think that this is a worthwhile endeavour they are most welcome to assist.

I second this, would be happy to help if its needed.

Interested in this. Good job OP for the innovative ideas.
This coin definately looks interesting and fresh. Developer, please keep working
I like the idea and appreciate the honesty about it being for educational use. I really like the idea of more intregration.
Primarily but not exclusively educational. If Nummum proves to be practical for real world use, well and good.
Now that I have floated my ideas publicly I am open to others getting involved in the development also. We may learn from each other.
I like the idea and appreciate the honesty about it being for educational use. I really like the idea of more intregration... Great to see something beyond a straight clone. Good luck! I'll be keeping my eye out for updates.
Is it ready to use?
No, not even close.
Read original post:
It is very much a work in progress. Most of the features in the feature list have not yet been implemented (see TODO lists) so at the moment it is more of a wish list than a feature list.
Is it ready to use?
This seems to be 1000% better than all the copy/scam/crap coins.
Yes, I want to distance Nummum from the current copy'n'paste frenzy. That was one of the reasons I chose to fork picocoin. There were several other reasons also.
I wish to develop a modular and scalable ecosystem that is not a Jack of all trades, master of none
Maybe you mean PoW-PoW hybrid?
I meant PoW/PoS hybrid.
Now fixed in original post.
