Reviews

For the first version of OpenCoin we had funding from the LDA, which allowed us to get OpenCoin reviewed from a technical and legal perspective.

Technical / Crypto review

The review of the preliminary protocol was done by:

• Alex Dent

• Kenny Paterson

• Peter Wild

The technical review did not find “any obvious flaws”. ^{1 1}“We did not fall of our chairs, laughing, which we normally do, when we are approached by industry”

Legal review

We also had a legal review of our ideas by:

• Chris Reed

• George Walker

The legal report examines under which circumstances OpenCoin could be run (at the time). Legal circumstances have changed since then, so we would recommend do have another legal review.

There was also a freemind mindmap, that shows the structure of the legal issues. Here exported as an image:
