    This is my first post here, so please tell me if I'm breaking any rules. Thank you.


     


    PowderCoin: The (un)official (crypto)currency for The Powder Toy, inspired by the April Fool's joke


    https://github.com/testitem/PowderCoin/tree/master


    Cryptocurrency built on blockchain technology, made by and for The Powder Toy


    From the April Fool's joke, I thought I'd create a cryptocurrency for The Powder Toy. So this is what I ended up with:


     


    CODEBASE: Karbowanec


    ALGORITHM: Cryptonight-Air, a creation of my own (512 KiB scratchpad)


    BLOCK TIME: 1 minute


    BLOCK REWARD: 1 coin


    TOTAL COINS: 1 quadrillion


    EMISSION CURVE: 18


     


    Linux download: https://github.com/testitem/PowderCoin/releases/download/1.1/powdercoin-linux-x86_64.tar.xz


    Source code: https://github.com/testitem/PowderCoin/archive/1.1.tar.gz


     


    TO-DO:


    Run my computer 24/7 (sync while my computer's still on)


    Get a Mac and Windows build


    Build the GUI


     


    BOUNTIES:


    Run a node 24/7 - 500 POWD


    Make a macOS build - 50 POWD


    Make a Windows build - 100 POWD


    Make a new background picture - 50 POWD


     


    FAUCET - Post here every day for 10 days, and get 1 POWD!


     


    Donations (or upvotes) are always appreciated.

    kudos to you. So much work lol. I'll mine some when i get home... Might want to be careful with a custom algorithm.

    EDIT: Where's the mining software? :p I can't find even a reference implementation, just the wallet.
    EDIT2: Also, if you want, i can give the main server a better spot on an actual dedicated. Just make sure it 
    a) runs on linux
    b) doesn't need a GUI. Must be usable from CLI

    @moonheart08

    Thank you! Yep, it runs on linux, and just run "./powdercoind" and tell me your static IP / dynamic DNS. Thank you so much!

    Once again, you can only download the blockchain every now and then since my computer isn't on.

    PLEASE rebuild from source, there are 2 new checkpoints.

    Thank you.

    Thank you very much.

    Did you sync the whole chain (2500 blocks aprox?), if so I'd give you 100 POWD

    Plz send screenshot.

     Just so you know, it's the same IP as @moonheart08

    Also, you should list all dependencies (Boost, Qt5) on your GitHub repo.
