WAM Coin: A RandomX Fork of Bitcoin Core v28.1
Mainnet Launching Sept 15, 2026 · Testnet Live Now

WAM Coin — a RandomX fork of Bitcoin Core v28.1, launching 15 September 2026. Review welcome.

WAM is a fork of Bitcoin Core v28.1, not a rewrite. Roughly 250,000 lines of networking, script and wallet code are inherited from a codebase that has been adversarially reviewed for fifteen years. About 3,000 lines are ours — and those are the ones worth reviewing.

What Differs from Bitcoin

• 22,000,000 hard cap, 2-minute blocks, 50 WAM initial subsidy
  
• RandomX proof of work, so CPUs stay competitive
  
• DarkGravityWave v3, retargeting every block
  
• A consensus-enforced 5% treasury output that stops permanently at block 400,000
  
• Founder reserve of 2,000,000 locked in genesis by

Code:

OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY

, releasing 20% a year to 2030

Founder + treasury is 12.50% of supply. Both are disclosed and enforced by every node.

Every upstream change is a scripted, anchored transformation in

Code:

scripts/patch_upstream.py

— no patch files — so

Code:

--list

prints every difference from Bitcoin Core with its rationale. There has been no third-party security audit.

Testnet & Code
Testnet is live. Two seed nodes (France and Singapore). A node finds the network by itself through DNS; there is a prebuilt release on GitHub (11.7 MB), needing

Code:

libevent

and

Code:

libsqlite3

and nothing else.

I would value review of the consensus changes in

Code:

src/wam/

in particular.

GitHub: github.com/wam-coin-official/wam-coin
Website: wamcoin.org

Bug Bounty
Report privately. Do not post a consensus or security bug in this thread — a public consensus bug is an attack that has not happened yet. Email wam.coin.official@proton.me or open a GitHub Security Advisory on the repository.

Code:

SECURITY.md

has the details.

In scope:

Code:

src/wam/

(consensus, subsidy, treasury, DGW, RandomX), the stratum pool in

Code:

pool/

,

Code:

scripts/patch_upstream.py

, and the release tooling.
Out of scope: inherited Bitcoin Core code — report those upstream; DoS against the testnet; anything needing physical access or social engineering.

Rewards (paid in mainnet WAM after launch, from the founder reserve):

• 50,000 WAM: Consensus split, inflation beyond the 22,000,000 cap, or theft of pool funds
  
• 10,000 WAM: Remote crash, or a way to steal another miner's shares
  
• 1,000 WAM: Everything else accepted
  

Said Plainly: WAM has no market value and may never have one. These figures are units of a coin that does not trade. If that is not worth your time, I would rather you knew before you spent it.

Duplicates and already-known issues do not qualify. I decide what is verified, and I will publish every accepted report with credit once it is fixed.

Review welcome.

WAM is a fork of Bitcoin Core v28.1, not a rewrite. Roughly 250,000 lines of
networking, script and wallet code are inherited from a codebase that has been
adversarially reviewed for fifteen years. About 3,000 lines are ours.

Founder + treasury is 12.50% of supply. Both are disclosed and enforced by
every node.

Every upstream change is a scripted, anchored transformation in
scripts/patch_upstream.py — no patch files — so --list prints every difference
from Bitcoin Core with its rationale. There has been no third-party security
audit.

Testnet is live. Two seed nodes, France and Singapore. A node finds the network
by itself through DNS; there is a prebuilt release on GitHub, 11 MB, needing
libevent and libsqlite3 and nothing else.

We have officially launched listing applications and technical outreach with targeted platforms—including XeggeX, TradeOgre, NonKYC, and Bisq—ahead of our Mainnet launch on September 15, 2026.

Xeggex and tradeogre are perfect as a start exchange

[CORRECTION — my previous update was wrong, and I am fixing it myself]

That update was written with help and I posted it without reading it
closely enough. It is my account, so it is my mistake. Two things in it
were wrong.

FIRST, the venues. It named XeggeX, TradeOgre and NonKYC. I have not
contacted any of them. The enquiries I actually sent went to Komodo
Wallet, BasicSwap DEX, Bisq, Maya Protocol, Haveno and Block DX — venues
that settle native assets by atomic swap or a peer-to-peer order book,
which is the category that fits a layer 1 like this. If anyone checked
with the three named above they would rightly have been told nobody had
heard of me.

SECOND, what those enquiries are. They ask what each venue requires in
order to list. Nothing has been agreed, no application has been accepted,
and there is no timeline. The post said this "ensures trading
infrastructure, DEX capability, and immediate liquidity from Day 1". It
ensures none of those, and nobody can promise liquidity.

Plainly: WAM has no market value, is listed nowhere, and may never be.
There is no price and no way to buy it. It is mined or it is nothing.

WAM is also its own layer 1, not a token on another chain, so it cannot
appear on an automated market maker such as Uniswap without a bridge and
a wrapped representation — the same reason Monero does not.

The technical claims stand and are checkable. Every difference from
Bitcoin Core v28.1 is a scripted transformation in
scripts/patch_upstream.py; run it with --list to read all of them with
their reasons. The founder reserve is 2,000,000 WAM and none of it is
spendable at launch — all five tranches sit behind
OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY, opening one a year from 2027 to 2031. Those locks
are bare scripts in the genesis block, so you can read the dates out of
block 0 rather than take my word for them.

I would rather be the person who corrects this in public than the person
who leaves it up.
