Ghost

Ghost transactions all fully anonymous by Ring Confidential Transactions (Ring-CT), hiding the sender, receiver, and the amount.

The mission for the Ghost project is to create a privacy focused, anonymous and decentralized payment network that is based on a sustainable proof-of-stake consensus algorithm with incentivized operators. The outlying products and services offered will have a focus on simplicity, while at the same time, providing accessible and practical solutions for mainstream adoption.

Particl, the privacy focused coin from which Ghost was initially forked from, will also be introduced. Initially diverged from Bitcoin, this project has been greatly developed and improved upon by their engineering team. As opposed to starting from scratch, Ghost concluded Particl would provide a solid foundation from which to jumpstart the initiative.

Therefore, allowing the project to begin implementing it’s own innovative technological advancements without having to “reinvent the wheel”. However, Ghost's vision goes well beyond their offering. The document will present its current and future development agenda with an explanation following each majoraddition. Full technical specifications related to the inner workings and operational functions of the software will also be provided. Finally, information regarding the current Ghost team will be given along with the vision and plans for the future.
