I built a cryptocurrency from scratch. 83,000 lines of original C++20 code. Used Equihash for mining and Keccak-256 for hashing. I analyzed SHA-256 and found weaknesses, so I chose Keccak. It has a UTXO model and a 21 million coin cap. The live network has nodes worldwide. A community member even made a block explorer. I had help from Claude AI.
