SmartCore (SMC) — a new public ethash coin where a single GPU still finds blocksPublic PoW • ethash • GPU + ASIC + CPU • 1 SMC/block • 1% pool • open source from day one
The pitch in one paragraphEvery established coin forces you to fight industrial farms for a shrinking slice. SmartCore launched the other way around: the network is days old, difficulty is near the floor, and the block reward is a flat
1 SMC — so the miners who show up
now are the ones holding coins years from now that everyone else will have to buy. The whole stack — chain, pool, explorer, dashboards — is public and inspectable, so "trust me" is not required.
Technical facts (all verifiable, links below)- Algorithm: ethash. Supported hardware: GPU rigs (T-Rex, NBminer, ethminer), ASIC-class ethash firmwares (Jasminer type), and even CPU (xmrig) as chain keepers.
- Block reward: 1 SMC, no premine-to-team-tax per block.
- Block time: ~15–20 seconds at current (very low) difficulty, auto-adjusting.
- EVM-compatible, MetaMask-ready: chainId 80080, one-click add-network button in the explorer.
- Supply: 10.1M SMC premine written into the public genesis — you can see the addresses and every coin movement in the explorer. No ICO, no presale, no VC allocation, no hidden emissions.
- Node client: stock OctaSpace geth fork — unmodified, so the security record of an existing battle-tested client applies.
The pool: zero friction, 1% fee- Primary stratum: smartcore.su:8009, independent backup: 185.207.133.38:8009
- 1% fee. Per-account choice of SOLO or PPLNS (9000) — switch any time.
- Payouts every 10 minutes from 50 SMC, straight on-chain, no minimum drama.
- Full public stats API and dashboard: worker-level shares, found blocks, payment history — https://smartcore.su/smc/ and https://smartcore.su/smc-api/stats
Uptime is engineered, not promisedThis chain cannot "die while the admin sleeps":
- a standby node on a separate server peers with the main node 24/7,
- an automatic watchdog starts a backup pool + emergency mining within minutes if block production stalls,
- a standby GPU rig takes over automatically on bigger outages,
- all incidents and recoveries are announced publicly in Discord by an automated bot — you do not have to trust reports, you can watch block height yourself.

For GPUs point T-Rex/NBminer/ethminer at the same endpoint (ethash). NiceHash-style stratum workers and arbitrary worker names are supported.
Why early chains are worth 30 minutes of your rig timeDifficulty on a fresh ethash chain is a rounding error compared to ETH-era levels — your hashrate is worth hundreds of times more here than on a major coin. The emission is fixed and the code is open, so the usual rug patterns (silent emission changes, owner-mints) are technically visible and blocked by design: the chain runs on unmodified open-source geth with a public genesis. Worst case you spent a few days of power on an honest experiment; best case you are early on something that grows.
Everything publicQuestions, rig setup help, pool feature requests — reply here or in Discord. We answer fast and we publish incidents instead of hiding them. Happy mining.
