TIMBRE (TMB)
The sound a fair network makes
Fair launch · No premine · No ICO · Fixed supply · MIT license
You can fake a picture, and you can fake a name. A timbre is harder: it is the exact shade of a sound, the part no filter can add and no copy can borrow. A struck fork rings true or it does not — and every listener can tell the difference. Timbre (TMB) is a proof-of-work network judged the same way: no one gets a head start, the rules are fixed before the first block, and the only sound that matters is the honest work of miners, audible to anyone who checks the ledger.
Ⅰ · THE SOURCE- Ticker — TMB
- Algorithm — RandomX (Timbre seed, v2) — memory-hard, CPU-oriented
- Consensus — Proof-of-Work, difficulty retargeted every block
- Block time — 110 seconds
- Block reward — 15 TMB
- Halving — every 800,000 blocks (≈ 2.79 years)
- Maximum supply — 23,250,000 TMB, a hard cap
- Premine / ICO — 0 / 0
- Hardware — ordinary CPUs; GPUs and ASICs gain nothing
- Block explorer — timbre-dev.github.io/timbre/explorer
- License — MIT, fully open source
Ⅱ · THE SCORE — HOW THE SUPPLY IS WRITTENThe reward halves every 800,000 blocks, and every era is paid out in full, so the total lands on an exact, auditable figure —
23,250,000 TMB:
- Era 1 — blocks 0–799,999 · 15.0 TMB/block · 12,000,000 TMB
- Era 2 — blocks 800,000–1,599,999 · 7.5 TMB/block · 6,000,000 TMB
- Era 3 — blocks 1,600,000–2,399,999 · 3.75 TMB/block · 3,000,000 TMB
- Era 4 — blocks 2,400,000–3,199,999 · 1.875 TMB/block · 1,500,000 TMB
- Era 5 — blocks 3,200,000–3,999,999 · 0.9375 TMB/block · 750,000 TMB
- Total — 23,250,000 TMB
A slow, steady decay over roughly fourteen years — long enough for a network to earn its sound, short enough for the entire schedule to be audited in full.
Ⅲ · HOW THE NOTE IS STRUCKTimbre is mined with the CPU already inside your machine. RandomX is memory-hard, which keeps the field level: rented GPU farms and ASICs hold no real edge, and the wallet ships with a built-in miner, so starting is a matter of a few clicks.
- Start the wallet, let it sync, and mining can begin on the CPU.
- Every block retargets difficulty — the chain tunes itself to whatever hashrate joins.
- The block explorer shows every block, the difficulty and the issued supply in real time.
Ⅳ · THE RECORD SO FAR- Network — live
- Wallet — Windows v0.1.0 released (see below)
- Block explorer — live and public
- Source — published on GitHub, MIT license
Ⅴ · QUESTIONS, ANSWERED PLAINLY- Why RandomX? It is memory-hard, so a rented ASIC or GPU farm cannot outrun an ordinary CPU by an unfair margin.
- Is there a premine? No. Zero. The first block was mined the same way as any later block.
- Is there an ICO or a sale? No. There is no token sale of any kind.
- Who controls the network? The miners. Rules are in the open-source code, and the ledger is public.
- What does the explorer show? Blocks, difficulty, and issued supply — all live, all checkable.
