What is ThoCoin?

ThoCoin is an open-source Proof-of-Work cryptocurrency built entirely in Rust and designed for the post-quantum era.

Instead of relying on traditional ECDSA signatures, ThoCoin adopts ML-DSA-87 (FIPS-204), a NIST-standardized lattice-based digital signature scheme that provides security against both classical and quantum attacks.

ThoCoin combines a wallet, full node, solo miner and pool miner into a single desktop application for a simple and complete user experience.

  • No Premine • No ICO — Genesis rewards are permanently unspendable.
  • Fair Launch — Everyone mines from Block 0 using the same public release.
  • CPU & GPU Mining — CPU edition works on any Windows PC or VM, GPU edition supports OpenCL acceleration.
  • Integrated Mining Pool — PPLNS rewards are paid directly inside each block coinbase with no additional payout transactions.
  • Secure Wallet — XChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption with Argon2id key derivation and optional RPC 2FA (TOTP).

UPDATE / CORRECTION

The download link in the first post got filtered by the forum. Here are the
correct official links:

Download: https://thocoin.org/download
- ThoCoin-Setup.exe (Windows Installer)
- ThoCoin-win64.zip (Portable)

Verify your download:
certutil -hashfile ThoCoin-Setup.exe SHA256
Compare against SHA256SUMS.txt on the release page.

Only download from https://thocoin.org — ignore any other mirror or DM.

All other info in the original post stands. Questions welcome below.TOKENOMICS — fully on-chain verifiable

- Max supply: 198,700,000 THO (1 THO = 100,000,000 base units)
- Block reward: 220.2 THO, halving every 458,440 blocks
- Target block time: 275s -> roughly 4 years per halving era
- No premine, no ICO, no presale, no VC allocation, no dev tax
- Transaction fees go to the miner via the coinbase

The genesis coinbase is permanently unspendable — anyone can read genesis_block()
in src/core/chain.rs and confirm it pays an address no one holds the key to.
Every THO entered circulation through mining, from Block 0, on the same public
release everyone uses.

WHY POST-QUANTUM? Why drop ECDSA entirely?

Every time you spend on a normal chain, your public key is exposed on-chain
forever. Shor's algorithm on a large quantum computer can forge ECDSA signatures
from that exposed key — "harvest now, decrypt later": record keys today, forge
later.

Mining is NOT the weak point — SHA-256 only faces Grover's algorithm, a
quadratic speedup easily offset by difficulty. The soft target is the SIGNATURE
scheme.

ThoCoin's answer: no ECDSA anywhere. Every signature is ML-DSA-87 (FIPS-204),
the NIST-standardized lattice scheme at Level 5. No known efficient quantum
attack.

Honest trade-off — PQ signatures are big:
  ECDSA:      pubkey 33 B,  sig 72 B
  ML-DSA-87:  pubkey 2592 B, sig 4627 B
Heavier transactions, accepted now instead of a risky migration later.

Verify: signing path is src/wallet/address.rs, only fips204::ml_dsa_87. Grep for
"ecdsa" — nothing there.

WALLET SECURITY — how your keys are handled

ENCRYPTION AT REST
The wallet seed is encrypted with XChaCha20-Poly1305, with keys derived via
Argon2id. Set a passphrase before first run and your seed is never stored in
plaintext.

RECOVERY
BIP39 24-word phrase (256-bit entropy). Back it up from
Receive -> Show recovery phrase, on paper, before you mine anything. Lose it and
nobody can recover your funds for you — not even the dev.

RPC HARDENING
- JSON-RPC binds to 127.0.0.1 only
- Bearer-token authentication
- Optional TOTP 2FA on spends: drop a Base32 secret in wallet.totp next to the
  wallet file, and spend calls require a valid code

SIGNATURES
ML-DSA-87 (FIPS-204). Even if an attacker records your public key from the
chain, there is no known efficient quantum attack against the lattice problem
it rests on.

Layered like this, an attacker needs the RPC token AND a live TOTP code AND your
passphrase. Reasonable defense in depth.

HOW TO VERIFY A FAIR LAUNCH — don't take my word for it

"Fair launch" is one of the most abused phrases in crypto. Most projects still
keep a team wallet, a "marketing" allocation, or a stealth premine. A launch is
only fair if you can VERIFY there is no hidden allocation. Here's the checklist,
applied to ThoCoin:

1) No presale / ICO / VC round?
   None. There was nothing to buy at any point.

2) No premine?
   The genesis coinbase pays to an address with no known private key. Read
   genesis_block() in src/core/chain.rs and confirm it yourself.

3) Can the genesis be swapped later?
   No. GENESIS_HASH_HEX is pinned in src/core/consensus.rs — a node that
   computes a different genesis hash refuses to start.

4) Any dev fee baked into the block reward?
   None. The reward is a flat 220.2 THO with a standard halving schedule, and
   transaction fees go to the miner.

That's the difference between CLAIMING a fair launch and PROVING it in code.
Whatever coin you're evaluating, demand this level of verifiability.

One more thing: THO has no exchange listing and no market. Anyone messaging you
offering to sell THO is scamming you. The only way to get it is to mine it.
