## This takes me back to high school around 2001, I was doing my Grade 12 (Matric class) programming Pascal. 
I was awarded third position in the Computer Olympiad held by [Old Mutual](https://www.oldmutual.co.za/) and [Computer Society of South Africa](http://www.ieee.org.za/computer-society) for my [Pascal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal_(programming_language)) programming.

## My certificate...they even made a mistake with my name Lucky to Lucy....hahaha

> Pascal is an imperative and procedural programming language, which Niklaus Wirth designed in 1968–69 and published in 1970, as a small, efficient language intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring.

## I also got to program [Visual Basic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_Basic) at that time...well a lot of people will be more familiar with [Visual Studio](https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/).

This was still the dark age, while we were still using Stiffy disk...this thing had only 1.44 MB...
## YES 1.44 MB...think about a typical mp3 song today...that won't fit in there.

# But believe it or we could save and play a Mario game in a stiffy disk.

Personally I never took Pascal programming serious despite the awards...I actually liked Visual Basic because of the graphic interface. Never thought one day Pascal will be used to build a cryptocurrency.

> It's name is "Pascal Coin" due it's written from the scratch in Pascal language.

> Pascal Coin is an "easy to understand" and "easy to work with" Crypto,
because it is very similar to a bank. Using "easy to remember" accounts
instead of cryptographic address's Example of address in Bitcoin: 1LpwTz4WWT35q1jr47rU5XhkuCvBrd561k

# Had to confirm this claim on my Poloniex:

# Just a few hours since added on Poloniex

# I am very much interested in the source code as seen on [github](https://github.com/PascalCoin/PascalCoin)
