SKYDOGE - Drivechain fork (Bitcoin Core + BIPs 300 and 301) - Welcome to POW...

Skydoge is the swiss army knife of decentralized cryptocurrency networks using proof of work.
Its layer 1 is similar to Bitcoin, with Drivechain implemented in it.
This enables trustless two-way-peg sidechains on layer 2.
These advances are made possible by Drivechain (BIP300 hashrate escrows and BIP301 blind merged mining), implemented in C++ in the node.

Network specifications

• Max supply: 210 billion SKYDOGE, fixed
• Algorithm: skydogehash (chained multi-hash, GPU mining; miner algo name "skydoge")
• Block time: 1 minute
• Difficulty adjustment: 1 minute
• Initial block reward: 50,000 SKYDOGE
• Halving: every 2,100,000 blocks (about 4 years), 4 times; issuance ends at block 9,450,000 (about Nov 2040)
• Block 2: 10 billion SKYDOGE = 6 billion premine (2.86% of max supply) + 4 billion migration swap for coins mined on the first network (1.90%). Over 95% of all SKYDOGE is issued to miners. Full breakdown: monetary policy
  
• Maturity: 100 confirmations
• From block 1,976,112: blocks of at most 50,000 bytes, each carrying one sidechain-state commitment in its coinbase

Drivechain sidechains

• Thunder (slot 2, scaling): active on mainnet. First full drivechain round trip on mainnet: 812.7499 of 812.77 stranded coins brought home by two miner-voted BIP300 withdrawals, 131 of 131 upvotes each (completed 2026-08-19). Thunder Rescue
  
• Hivemind (Truthcoin prediction markets, C++): in testing; mainnet after the fork, no date yet. skydoge.net/hivemind
  
• Ethereum Cash (ECASH) (EVM sidechain): planned. ecash.dog
  
• Possible future sidechains: Zside (Zcash sidechain), BitAssets (NFT sidechain)

Hard fork: what to do before block 1,976,112

• Nodes and desktop wallets: download 0.45.3b, verify it, and start it once with -reindex (for example skydoge-qt -reindex) well before the fork. Keep a copy of your old data folder until the fork has passed. Older versions, including 0.45.1 and 0.45.2, end up on a chain the network rejects. There is no grace period.
  
• Back up your wallet: the twelve words of the old "Create New Wallet" / "Restore My Wallet" screens were never a backup. Use File > Backup Wallet... or skydoge-cli backupwallet.
  
• Miners: mine on a pool that runs 0.45.3b.
  
• Pools: the node upgrade alone is not enough. From the fork every coinbase must carry the commitment from the 0.45.3b block template. Read the signed pool notice and add /SD0.45.3/ to your coinbase once you build from a 0.45.3b template.
  
• Exchanges and services: upgrade before the height, and never credit a deposit seen only by an old node.
  
• Large transactions: a large consolidation (hundreds of inputs) must be split into smaller transactions, or sent before the fork.
  
• Upgrading late? If your node ran past block 1,976,112 on older software, start 0.45.3b once with a full -reindex.

Bitcoin MOI airdrop: hold SKYDOGE on October 31, 2026
Bitcoin MOI (BTCMOI) is a new SHA-256 L1 with drivechains, and its coins start with an airdrop to Skydoge, Bitcoin and Dogecoin holders. Snapshot on Oct 31, 2026; genesis on Nov 5, 2026 00:00 UTC. Keep your SKYDOGE in a wallet whose keys you hold; coins on an exchange depend on that exchange. Details: bitcoin.moi and the Bitcoin MOI announcement thread

Exchanges
XeggeX, the exchange listed here before, is gone. SKYDOGE currently trades on Cexius (SKYDOGE/USDT). This is not an official partnership and the team does not vouch for any exchange: do your own research, and keep your coins in a wallet whose keys you hold.

Safety notice
The only official links are the ones in this post and on skydoge.net. Exchange listings posted in this thread by other accounts are not from the team, and we have no relationship with them. Nobody from Skydoge will ever ask for your seed phrase or private key. Never deposit anywhere just because a forum post says so.

how to mine ?

There is a miner in the GUI just click start mining

100% mined with gpu what a crap

Yes its not released but that not mean there is not mining already and im 100% sure it is

Thanks to everyone who's participating in the project but remember that the current network should be considered as a testnet and will probably get reset.

Soon, for now there is IRC on freenode and libera #skydogenet

It seems that some miners are willing to keep the chain on and maybe even fund development. So this testnet chain might just live on as a mainnet. more info soon

New website is up!

more soon...

The mining program has a bug, when you find a block it stops and you don't get a reward, the same thing happened to me 3 times and I gave up.
