TARCOIN (TAR)
The Blockchain for Open-Source Hardware Miners

Website | Explorer | Discord


ABOUT TARCOIN
TARCOIN is a grassroots, fully decentralized PoW blockchain built from the ground up for the open-source hardware community (Bitaxe, NerdMiner, and DIY ASICs). We got tired of closed-source mining software and playing the "Bitcoin Solo Mining Lottery" with zero rewards. TARCOIN brings the dopamine back to home mining—giving small, open-source miners a network where they can actually find blocks, build the chain, and get rewarded.

The network is officially LIVE and has just crossed Block 1,000.


COIN SPECIFICATIONS
Algorithm: SHA-256 (ASIC & Bitaxe Compatible)
Ticker: TAR
Max Supply: 50,000,000,000 TAR
Network Hashrate: 1.31 TH/s (Early Phase!)

HOW TO MINE (Bitaxe / SHA-256 Miners)
We have set up a high-performance Stratum pool. You can point your open-source mining hardware directly to it right now:
Stratum URL: stratum.tarcoin.org
Port: 3333
Username: Your TAR Wallet Address
Password: x

Note for Bitaxe Users: We also provide a completely custom, open-source embedded UI firmware for ESP32 devices that replaces the stock dashboard with a clean TARCOIN interface. Check the website for the firmware files!


AUTOMATED REWARDS & FAUCET
We believe in true decentralization, so our onboarding rewards are completely automated. You don't have to wait for a dev to send you coins!

• Wallet Claim Bonus: Automatically receive 100 TAR instantly when you create and claim your new wallet.
  
• Mining Milestone Bonus: As a special one-time bonus, the network  will automatically send you an extra 1,000 TAR the moment you successfully mine you first 20,000 TAR!
  

Get your Bitaxe hashing, watch your balance grow, and enjoy the automated payouts.

Welcome to the new era of decentralized hardware mining. The hashrate never sleeps.

🚀 Update: Successful Public Pool Launch!

Good morning everyone! I want to give a quick update on our first night since opening the public mining pool yesterday:

The network is incredibly stable and the blockchain is processing blocks perfectly.
Our network hashrate spiked to over 22 TH/s overnight!
The public mining pool is running flawlessly and distributing block rewards on schedule.
A massive thank you to all the new miners who connected their hardware to secure the network last night. If you are having any trouble connecting your miners, please ask in the chat and we will help you out.

Let's keep growing! ⛏️🔥

Where is the bitaxe firmware? Is the mining pool currently down?

The pool is 100% online and pushing over 22 TH/s! If you are getting a connection error, please double-check your settings. Ensure the Stratum URL is stratum.tarcoin.org and that you are using a valid TARCOIN wallet address as your Username.

For the custom Bitaxe firmware, you can download it directly from our website here: https://tarcoin.org/downloads/tarcoin-bitaxe-firmware.zip. Just upload esp-miner.bin via your Bitaxe web dashboard!
