The Cannacoin Cryptocurrency Project, now "Cannacoin Classic" and also introducing the new "Cannacoin Prime" ERC-20 token, is a crowd managed service based cryptocurrency protocol for the cannabis community, and was first deployed on March 28, 2014 on NWGT.org as a solution to the "cash only" predicament beset on growers, dispensaries, and consumers alike through Federal regulation was also a response to the Global Financial Crisis of 2008. It is the evolution of distributed computing and the BitTorrent protocol. It was the brainchild of the pseudonymous Subtoshi, the founder of the popular, but now defunct, "NWGT.org" (Northwest Green Thumb) online medical cannabis forum based in the Pacific Northwest which grew from a simple CL encounter between medical marijuana patients to a lofty 50,000+ membership status at its peak. We were proudly among the first 100 or so cryptocoins deployed to the internet at large, and therfore the world, of all time. We are a fork of Litecoin with our own proprietary blockchain and were initially distributed under fair disbursement and proof-of work. We are essentially a new form of electronic monies referred to as "cryptocurrency" similar to Litecoin, Dogecoin, and other "altcoins" which is intended for commercial trading within the independent, medical, and recreational cannabis markets as a medium of exchange, a unit of account, and a store of value for cannabis and cannabis related products and services, worldwide.
As mentioned, Cannacoin(CCN) was proudly released under fair distribution with 0.00% pre-mine and no ICO to members of NWGT.org. Cannacoin expertly transitioned to "Proof of Stake" at block 370,000 on December 9th, 2014 with a nominal stake interest of 2.00% annually. There were 4,625,000 CCN minted during the "Proof of Work" phase. Cannacoin has a max supply of 13,140,000. As of this writing we are close to approaching 1M blocks.
We believe that the so-called "Drug War" initiated by DEA has been a complete and utter failure of our rights and civil liberties as well as a health crisis of monumental proportions. We understand that the prohibition of cannabis has led to the dreadful proliferation of deadly gangs and even more dangerous and deadly street drugs. It has also, in our belief, weakened the health of the general population by removing hemp from the food chain where it had been a staple for thousands of years nourishing our inborne cannabinoid system and balancing essential biological systems in our bodies.
Since 2014, Cannacoin Classic has had no marked purpose other than to facilitate cannabis transactions, but that is going to change. We are now making a bold and move forward by deciding to update our operating policy to include the alignment of forces with NORML.org for the expansion and support of cannabis law reform as a community service of paramount importance.
Wellness, safe access, and harm reduction is what the Cannacoin brand as a whole strives for.
We want to be your coin of choice for cannabis.
Our ultimate goal is to bring Cannacoin to the masses to make the world a finer and safer place. We have some unique and innovative ideas that are being currently overlook by the competition and on how to do so. Since the inception of this project, we have operated under the philosophy of health, fellowship, and service. We are a cryptocurrency with a heart and soul for the cannabis community, universally with a purpose because Bitcoin is too precious to spend.
Cannacoin is not only efficient, transparent, and secure it is a lot of fun. It is a seamless experience. What are you waiting for?
Cannacoin Classic, Cannacoin Prime, Cannacoin Pay Mobile, and Cannacoin Pay POS are all open-source and available for audit on GitHub. (
