🐾 FloofyChain (FLOOF)
FloofyChain is a Scrypt-based cryptocurrency supporting both native Proof-of-Work (PoW) and Auxiliary Proof-of-Work (AuxPoW) mining.
The network uses block rewards, scheduled reward multiplier events, and a mining consensus designed to balance opportunities between native and merge miners.

Coin: FloofyChain (FLOOF)
Core version: 3.0.3
Algorithm: Scrypt
Mining: Native PoW and AuxPoW (merge mining)
Block target: 5 minutes under the new consensus
Mining distribution: approximately 50/50 long-term target when both mining types participate
Difficulty: Independent ASERT plus a rolling 1,000-block balance
AuxPoW chain ID: 666
Fees: No transaction tax, automatic burn fee, or developer fee
Rewards: Block rewards with scheduled multiplier events
⛏️ Independent Native PoW and AuxPoW Mining
Both native Scrypt PoW and AuxPoW miners can compete to mine every block. There is no forced alternation or waiting period.
Each mining type has a separate ASERT difficulty target designed for roughly one block every 10 minutes when participation is steady. A rolling 1,000-block balancing adjustment increases the difficulty of whichever type has mined more of the recent blocks and reduces it for the underrepresented type. With both types active, the combined aim is a five-minute average and approximately 50/50 over time, not a mandatory quota.
If a merge-mining pool goes offline, native miners can continue mining without waiting for a timeout. Likewise, AuxPoW miners can keep mining when native miners are unavailable. Every block still needs a valid proof of work.
📈 ASERT Difficulty Adjustment
FloofyChain uses separate anchored ASERT-style difficulty calculations for native PoW and AuxPoW:
5-minute combined block target when both mining types have stable participation.
10-minute average target per mining type (600 seconds).
Independent histories: difficulty uses the previous accepted blocks of its own type, including runs of consecutive blocks.
1-hour half-life: difficulty adjusts gradually as block production runs ahead of or behind schedule.
Common starting anchor: both difficulty calculations start from block 244,999.
After every accepted block, each mining type's next target is recalculated using its own ASERT history and the preceding 1,000 accepted blocks. The balancing history starts at block 245,000 and grows gradually until full; it then slides forward one block at a time. When the last 1,000 blocks are evenly split, the balancing factor is neutral. At its maximum, a lane's additional adjustment ranges from half to twice its ASERT target. The block-count balancing step never uses candidate timestamps. Accepted historical timestamps still inform ASERT.
🔐 Strict AuxPoW Validation
AuxPoW blocks must provide a valid merged-mining commitment and parent proof of work. The new consensus verifies the AuxPoW structure, chain ID, and required difficulty instead of relying on the historical compatibility shortcut.
🔄 Consensus Fork — Block 245,000
The new mining rules activate together at mainnet block 245,000.
Activation Change
245,000 Strict AuxPoW proof validation
245,000 Anchored ASERT difficulty and a five-minute combined block target
245,000 Independent native PoW and AuxPoW difficulty calculations
245,000 Rolling 1,000-block capped balancing adjustment
245,000 Both mining types remain eligible for consecutive blocks
Blocks through 244,999 retain their historical rules. Block 244,999 anchors both new difficulty histories. Nodes and mining pools need compatible software for the consensus transition.
A height-based upgrade cannot change difficulty or unblock mining below its activation height.
🎉 Mining Rewards
FloofyChain rewards miners through block subsidies and transaction fees, with scheduled multiplier events during selected block ranges.
Reward multiplier events are scheduled at 20,000-block intervals.
Regular event windows last approximately 5,000 blocks.
Community involvement in future multiplier events is part of the project roadmap.
The mining consensus fork at block 245,000 is separate from the roadmap's community-voting milestone associated with block 500,000.
🤖 Community
FloofyChain also has a Discord wallet bot and community tools for activities such as tipping, wallet balances, and other supported services.

What a bunch of floof. 🐾
