Summary

What do you do when Bitcoin's platform doesn't meet your cryptocurrency needs? You re-program the entire thing, from low level database structure, to the mining algorithm, to the network timing protocol, to the hash size, private and public key size, the whole works.
Insane? Well, Colin Cantrell (who I think is literally a prodigy and a half) has done just that to create Nexus Coin. (NXS)
If you understand the Bitcoin protocol, no matter how much you know, I think you'll be floored when you hear what Colin has created and launched with Nexus Coin.
THIS is an interview NOT TO MISS for serious Bitcoin fans. I'm serious.
