Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cryptocurrency

I'm finding the terms "off-chain" and "on-chain" used practically everywhere, but no particular article where it is ever defined, although a couple where it is implied. I need to link to such a section from an article not about crypto per se, but where it is mentioned and the term "off-chain" might be pretty mysterious. Can someone find a good home for this? Interestingly, Blockchain does not have a "Terminology" section, but maybe that is because it would be too big. It is available on Wiktionary, but I want to link to an article. Is it maybe time for Glossary of blockchain terms, or Glossary of cryptocurrency? Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 20:56, 15 October 2025 (UTC)

Does anyone want to review or give feedback for the first couple of sections of Cryptocurrency and crime? Sibshops (talk) 17:33, 13 November 2025 (UTC)

For WikiProjects that participate in rating articles, the banners for talk pages usually say something like:

• "This article has been rated as Low-importance on the importance scale."

There is a proposal to change the default wording on the banners to say "priority" instead of "importance". This could affect the template for your group. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council#Proposal to update wording on WikiProject banners.

This article is of mid-importance to this and a few other WikiProjects. I’ve already discussed the following issues on those WikiProjects’ talk pages: its sentences use inconsistent British and American spellings. It’s already being nominated over at wp:AFIN#Pig butchering scam. I’m well aware that this group is believed to be semi-active. 2600 etc (talk) 17:01, 26 January 2026 (UTC)

I can clean it up a bit. ◦ Sibshops (talk) 17:51, 26 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello Wikiproject Cryptocurrency! I have a request editors here may want to review. I have been making suggestions for the Binance article on its Talk page. Two editors in particular have put in a lot of work reviewing my requests. My latest request is still under discussion but seems to have stalled out and rather than continue to unduly lean on their efforts, I'm seeking additional voices as well. Please note I am a representative for Binance so I have a conflict of interest. This is why I make my suggestions on the Talk page and work through improvements via discussion. Happy to answer any questions. KB at Binance (talk) 16:20, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

Sure, I can add my input. ◦ Sibshops (talk) 16:31, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

Just notifying members of this project that there is a Conflict of Interest edit request relevant to this WikiProject at the Elliptic (company) article. DrThneed (talk) 22:09, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. Answered. ◦ Sibshops (talk) 15:56, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

Hello WikiProject Cryptocurrency editors,

Per WP:COI, I am disclosing that I am the founder of Elyan Labs and creator of RustChain. I believe the project may meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines based on independent secondary sources, and I am requesting that an uninvolved editor review the sources and consider whether an article is warranted. I am not requesting that I write the article myself.

RustChain is a blockchain protocol using "Proof-of-Antiquity" consensus, which rewards miners based on verified vintage hardware rather than computational power. The native token (RTC) has no ICO and the network anchors to the Ergo blockchain.

Independent sources include:

1. U.S. patent 10,579,974 (March 2020) — rapid transaction settlements in distributed digital asset networks
2. American Press (Lake Charles, LA), May 10, 2022 — coverage of SEED Center business pitch competition win ($5,000 Technology Category)
3. Southwest Louisiana Economic Development Alliance, May 3, 2022 — announcement of pitch competition results
4. Ergo Platform official documentation — ecosystem listing
5. OpenSSL — approved security patch (PR #30437, integer truncation fix in PowerPC AES-GCM, approved by two core maintainers with "approval: done" label)
6. wolfSSL — POWER8 hardware AES acceleration contribution (PR #9932, CLA signed)
7. NSA Ghidra — e200 VLE PowerPC language support contribution (PR #9036)
8. Grokipedia (xAI) — 10+ encyclopedia pages covering RustChain, BoTTube, RAM Coffers, and the founder
9. ToolPilot.ai — BoTTube platform review (7 reviews, 86% positive)
10. Dev|Journal — syndicated article on Proof-of-Antiquity consensus mechanism
11. Field Tech Academy (YouTube) — interview appearance (July 2024)
12. MSS Miami 2025 — conference panelist on CISO roles in third-party threat response

The project has 177 GitHub stars, 160 forks, 65 contributors, and approved security patches in two of the most widely deployed cryptographic libraries (OpenSSL and wolfSSL).

I am happy to answer questions about sources or provide additional context. Thank you for your time. RustchainDev (talk) 18:45, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

Most of the listed items would not generally satisfy Wikipedia's notability requirement for independent secondary coverage under policies such as WP:SECONDARY, WP:SIGCOV, and WP:RS. The key requirement is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources about the subject itself. Brief mentions, self-published material, technical contributions, or listings usually do not qualify. ◦ Sibshops (talk) 18:59, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
