As part of the economics course I'm taking, we have been given the assignment of designing a new type of cryptocurrency, using what we are currently debating about the future of crypto. It's not going to be something to be sold, just a mock-up and functional model (the course is part of a package with programming and IT business strategies and such), so I am NOT trying to sell anything! The issue is, the field of crypto both technical and economic issues is pretty big, so I was wondering if there exist people or even forums dedicated specifically to advising on how to design new kinds of crypto?
