FEELCOIN (FEEL)
RandomX Proof-of-Work • CPU-Oriented Mining • Independent Blockchain

In Feels We Trust.

Introduction

Feelcoin (ticker: FEEL) is an independent Proof-of-Work blockchain using the RandomX mining algorithm.

Feelcoin is derived from the Monero open-source codebase and openly acknowledges that technical lineage. It is not presented as a clean-room implementation. Feelcoin operates its own independent network with its own genesis, chain history, address namespace, releases, mining infrastructure, explorer, wallet services, development treasury rule, and public development direction.

The project is in an early public-launch stage. The goal is to publish working software and infrastructure that miners, developers, and users can independently inspect and verify.

Feelcoin does not make promises regarding price, exchange listings, profitability, adoption, or future value.


Transparency by Design

Transparency is one of the core principles of the Feelcoin project.

• Open technical lineage: Feelcoin openly states that it is derived from the Monero open-source codebase.
• Public source code: the core, miner, mining pool, explorer and wallet projects are published openly.
• No premine: no premine, ICO, presale, or private allocation.
• Transparent treasury rule: from block 590, 2% of the existing block subsidy is directed to the published development treasury while 98% goes to miners/pools.
• No hidden treasury issuance: the treasury split divides the existing subsidy; it does not mint an additional 2%.
• Transaction fees: 100% of transaction fees remain with miners/pools.
• Public on-chain verification: miner/pool and treasury reward behavior can be inspected through the blockchain and explorer.
• Published release checksums: users can independently verify downloadable binaries.

The goal is simple: do not ask users to trust claims that can instead be checked in code, releases, or on-chain data.

Development Treasury

Starting at block 590, Feelcoin consensus enforces a transparent development treasury split.

• 98% of block subsidy → miner / mining pool
• 2% of block subsidy → Feelcoin development treasury
• 100% of transaction fees → miner / mining pool

The treasury does not create additional issuance on top of the block subsidy. It divides the existing subsidy between the miner/pool and the development treasury.

Open-Source Lineage

Feelcoin is derived from the Monero open-source codebase.

The project inherits substantial cryptographic, wallet, networking, blockchain-storage, and RandomX foundations from that codebase. Feelcoin does not claim those inherited technologies were invented by the Feelcoin project.

The Feelcoin Miner is derived from XMRig and retains upstream attribution and licensing requirements.

Feelcoin operates independently through its own genesis, network parameters, address namespace, chain history, releases, infrastructure, treasury rule, and development direction.

Common Foundry (CMFD) is not a mainnet — it is a marketing campaign wearing a blockchain costume. At the exact moment of launch on October 3, 2026, the chain, the explorer, and the sole pool all went dark simultaneously: a network whose one job is to produce blocks delivered an outage instead, running consensus code that had been hotfixed hours earlier in a release that wasn't even finalized. Its "no token sale" pitch means every coin's legitimacy rests on launch-time mining — yet the earliest, cheapest blocks that will ever exist were minted inside a blackout no one outside the team could observe, making the distribution permanently unauditable. Every GPU was pointed at one developer-controlled pool on a bare IP with a static PIN shared by all, switched on by hand, running an algorithm optimized for hardware only insiders knew would win. That is not decentralization — that is one man borrowing your electricity to beta-test unfinished code. Until the team publishes a postmortem, the first N blocks, and an independent consensus review, this is not a coin; it is an unauditable, centrally-operated rough draft, and every card you plug into it is a donation to a lab experiment.

[feelcoin-org]

Common Foundry (CMFD) is not a mainnet — it is a marketing campaign wearing a blockchain costume...

Thanks for the criticism. Technical scrutiny is welcome, especially for a new network, but several claims in this post are either incorrect or do not describe Feelcoin.

First, a basic point: your post begins by referring to "Common Foundry (CMFD)." This thread is about Feelcoin (FEEL). If you intended these claims to apply to Feelcoin, they should be evaluated against Feelcoin's actual blockchain, source code and infrastructure.

A few factual corrections:

1. Feelcoin was not privately launched or premined.

There was no ICO, presale, private coin allocation or developer premine.

Mining began from genesis through Proof of Work under the same network rules available to everyone.

Feelcoin does have a transparent protocol treasury, but that is not a premine. Beginning at block 590, 2% of the existing block subsidy is directed to the development treasury while 98% goes to miners. Transaction fees remain with miners.

The treasury rule and address are public and verifiable on-chain and in the source code.


2. Feelcoin is an independent mainnet.

Feelcoin has its own:

- genesis block
- blockchain history
- network configuration
- address namespace
- mainnet ports
- consensus parameters
- emission rules

It is not a token deployed on another blockchain and it is not a testnet.


3. RandomX is CPU-oriented, not a secret GPU-optimized algorithm.

The claim that the network used an algorithm optimized for hardware known only to insiders is incorrect.

Feelcoin uses RandomX, a publicly documented Proof-of-Work algorithm designed primarily around general-purpose CPUs.

There is nothing secret about the mining algorithm or the software used to mine it.


4. The pool "-p" value is not a security PIN.

The password parameter used by mining software is the conventional Stratum worker/password field.

Using values such as:

Code:

-p x

does not grant administrative access, control consensus, authenticate ownership of the blockchain, or provide privileged mining capability.


5. The blockchain can be audited from genesis.

Early blocks are not "permanently unauditable."

Anyone can run Feelcoin Core and independently inspect the blockchain from the beginning, including:

- block hashes
- heights
- timestamps
- coinbase transactions
- rewards
- outputs
- difficulty
- treasury allocation

If you believe an abnormal reward, hidden allocation or premine exists, please provide the specific block height, transaction hash or source-code rule demonstrating it.

Those are objective claims that can be checked.


6. Feelcoin no longer depends on a single public node.

The network currently has two published bootstrap nodes:

Code:

node1.feelcoin.org:35780
node2.feelcoin.org:35780

Feelcoin Core v0.2.1 includes these bootstrap nodes directly, allowing a fresh daemon to discover the Feelcoin network without requiring users to manually configure the original server.

This does not mean Feelcoin has already achieved ideal decentralization. It means infrastructure redundancy is being built progressively and transparently.


7. The official pool does not control participation in consensus.

The official pool exists to make mining easier, particularly while the network is young.

It is not permissioned infrastructure.

Anyone is free to:

- run a Feelcoin node
- solo mine
- operate another mining pool
- build the software from source
- verify the blockchain independently
- inspect or modify the open-source code

No permission from the Feelcoin project is required to participate in the network.


8. The Windows antivirus issue was handled publicly rather than bypassed.

The original Windows cryptocurrency binaries triggered antivirus detections.

Rather than telling users to disable security software or create antivirus exclusions, the Windows release was temporarily withdrawn while the release process was reviewed.

The current stable release is Feelcoin Core v0.2.1 for Linux x86_64.

Source code, the tagged release, binary package and SHA256 checksum are public.

I agree with one broader point in your criticism:

Feelcoin is a very young network, and infrastructure and mining distribution are naturally more concentrated today than we want them to be long term.

We do not claim otherwise.

More independent nodes, independent pools, miners, reviewers and contributors are desirable, and the project is actively moving in that direction.

What we will not do is pretend that early-stage infrastructure concentration is the same thing as a hidden premine, private blockchain or unauditable consensus.

Feelcoin's approach is simple:

Don't ask users to trust claims that can instead be checked in code, releases or on-chain data.

If you find an actual consensus flaw, hidden allocation, invalid reward or other verifiable technical problem, please post the block, transaction, commit or source-code line.

That kind of criticism is useful and welcome.
