Wattcoin (WTC) mining & info.

[WattcoinInfo]

Wattcoin (WTC) is a cryptocurrency built around a novel "Proof-of-Energy" consensus mechanism. Here's the core idea:
Instead of solving useless hash puzzles, miners run benchmark-verified computation tasks and the protocol estimates the electrical energy consumed based on known hardware power draw.  Every miner, regardless of whether they use a CPU, GPU, or other hardware pays the same estimated energy cost per coin, so hardware determines speed, not cheapness.
Key Design Choices: Fixed supply of 21 million WTC across 21 tiers of 1 million coins each. In Tier 1, one WTC costs ~20 kWh to mine; each subsequent tier doubles the requirement (Tier 2 = 40 kWh, Tier 3 = 80 kWh, etc.). This "tier ratchet" retroactively raises the energy floor for all previously mined coins too.
No mining pools and no luck variance, every miner gets paid every block, with rewards split proportionally by verified energy contribution.
The network will be backed by a real 60 kW Vortex Gravity Hydro Turbine in Estonia, with 60 Vortex NFTs (Gold/Silver/Bronze tiers) granting holders a permanent share of turbine electricity revenue and on-chain governance voting power over a 300,000 WTC treasury.
Status (May 2026): Mainnet is live, staking rewards are active, and the miner app is available.
In short, Wattcoin is a small, Estonian-based crypto project trying to make mining hardware-agnostic and tie coin value directly to real, verifiable energy expenditure with a physical green energy asset as an anchor.

Open-sorce project, code available in Github.

Interesting, a Proof of Energy but the problem is what devices or units are compatible with this mechanism?

The only power-hungry one that consumes much power the one built from ASICs.
And another problem is if we do keep a miner with high power consumption, how can we sustain it if it doesn't have a value yet?

It's interesting but risky because it's proof of energy; no one would mine this if it's not profitable.
I am more confident with HNT miners with proof of coverage that consume less power.

So it's Proof-of-Work without the work, everyone gets paid every time and i still get a good bill in the mail? I would like to know your process of creation. You didn't make a new algorithm, you didn't make a miner, is there a blockchain? From what i see you made a server that reads some data and pays everyone regardless of what the data says?
