Balloonum is my personal project to create a cryptocurrency for the web, using modern and consolidated languages such as Python and PHP, and database managers such as MySQL or MongoDB.

The security of the blockchain is in charge of the Balloon algorithm, and the difficulty is recalculated after each new block.

At the moment, the project is in its alpha phase, mounted over a centralized network structure and being possible to mine (only with CPU) through the official wallet. This will change in the future, when we reach version 1.0 of the software, when all the code will be released under the GPL license, giving way to decentralization.

Version 1.0 will also include features such as PoS rewards, MasterNodes, Wallet Aliases, Smart Contracts written in PHP (and/or Python), Integrated Mining Pool, Voting system based on wallet balances, the Payment Gateway to include on your website and more features.

How will I know when I've found and solved blocks?

When you found a block, you can get a message like this:

[Mining] Thread 2: Block mined: 4G8udaTXRP3qjUfbfLwLrs1Eq7tEWG7kWZtrSXeTDZxyJ7zUk6jE2tYvRjp4ipqVUNM2v7xQrid29fQ oUQh2diNv
[Mining] Thread 2: Mining reward: +15.0 BALL

My PC has 2 cores and 4 logical processors. How many threads can I assign for mining? Or what's the highest variable I can use for the startmining command apart from 4? Thanks for your timely response

Hi!
Bad luck and high diff for start. We expected 8-10k but it was quickly duplicated...

Yes, we will improve the miner. Our major doubt is if support or not graphic cards. It will decided by the community using wallet voting system when be implemented.

Best regards!

not possible to mine with ubuntu??

Code:

wget https://balloonum.io/balloonum
chmod 755 balloonum
./balloonum

Give me feedback, please!

Best regards!

worked! Can you mine with same wallet on different pc's? Hard to find blocks 

[Kanjeung]

mining requires strong computers and fast networks. I agree what is written from your title. CPU mining only. I am interested in your company. but I'm confused and I don't see BALL tokens with details. What is the price per token? Do I have to make a wallet from your website?
