Hello, we started an experiment.
It's a bitcoin clone, but as today everybody should be able to mine easily.
It's a 8mb block with 15 seconds per block, max. issue 1billion coins, 1500 coins per block, halving every 58.6 days+-. Mining should end in 4 years.
Here is a command line wallet for UBUNTU 1604, so some CLI of the cli is needed (80% bitcoin conpatible).
We would like to offer an airdrop to whoever installs the wallet and starts mining (it's ASIC but as today with any laptop you should be fine).
To partecipate, copy and paste the shell script below in a UBUNTU 1604 VPS or terminal, CHMOD the file and execute.
Then start
mercanted mercante -daemon
and you should be syncing and mining.
The wallet is
mecante-cli mercante
The airdrop will be:
200000 MRC each for the 1st 10ppl
100000 MRC for the 2nd 10 and so on...
Please put your MRC adress below to receive the airdrop
