Sub-Second BlockDAG Consensus & Sovereign AI Micro-Settlement Network
kHeavyHash | 21,000,000 Hard Cap | Dual-Key Stealth Privacy | 4-Year Rational Decay | Disclosed Guardian Phase
1. Abstract & VisionBitcoin K (ticker:
BTCK) is an open-source, ASIC-native Proof-of-Work cryptocurrency designed to combine the throughput of a parallel BlockDAG with the cryptographic privacy of dual-key stealth addresses and the strict economic scarcity of Bitcoin's original 21 million supply limit.
BTCK implements the
kHeavyHash algorithm directly on the GhostDAG protocol at an aggregate target rate of
1.000 block per second (1.000 BPS). Mining hardware manufactured for the Kaspa network (IceRiver KS0/KS1/KS2/KS3/KS5 and Bitmain Antminer KS3/KS5) is 100% natively compatible with zero firmware modifications required.
Block emission is governed by an immutable 4-year continuous rational decay function, eliminating the cliff-edge hashrate volatility associated with 4-year halving steps while guaranteeing integer-exact finite issuance of strictly 21,000,000 coins.
Engineered for Autonomous AI Agents First, Humans Secondary: BTCK is built specifically for autonomous software agents requiring zero-KYC cryptographic sovereignty, sub-second block finality, and sub-cent SatK micro-settlement. While human operators supply ASIC consensus security and GPU hardware, autonomous agents form the primary consumer base—paying for LLM inference tokens via native HTTP 402 AI-RPC protocols without credit card or banking friction.

4. Economic Model: Continuous Rational Decay & Combo JackpotTraditional Bitcoin halving models induce sharp 50% revenue shocks every 4 years, historically triggering severe hashrate drawdowns and pool instability. BTCK replaces discrete step functions with a continuous rational curve:
R(t) = R0 / (1 + 0.15 * t_day)
Where initial emission starts at 6.2982 BTCK per block and smoothly declines over 1,460 days. Block subsidy reaches strictly 0 after block #126,144,000, leaving consensus permanently secured by transaction fees.
Tiered Combo Reserve & Periodic Payout:
Phase-1 block rewards are split into an 80% immediate miner baseline payout, a 15% Combo jackpot reserve, and a 5% ecosystem reserve. Every 43,200 blocks (~12 hours), the consensus engine evaluates a future random beacon (+100 blocks) and applies Kademlia XOR geometric distance metrics to select a single winning block hash. The winner receives the accumulated Combo pool according to the consensus vesting schedule.
