Before mining our coin, consider reading our whitepaper. You will find that the Hybrid Proof of Work rules built into this project will force mining to always be unprofitable. Only application developers who build on Lynx, traders, builders and enthusiastic community members will wish to mine Lynx.

About:
In 2017, our team upgraded and rebranded an existing coin (Kittehcoin/MEOW) as Lynx. How? We successfully forked Litecoin and ported the Kittehcoin blockchain history to it. This gives Lynx all the benefits and up-to-date security features of Litecoin with the full transaction history of Kittehcoin. These upgrades fixed the flaws in the original coin and revived its community of users. It’s cryptocurrency from the past; redesigned for the future.
Why did we fix an old coin? Rather than start from scratch and drift alone at sea, we thought it would be more interesting to support an existing and established community. We figured: why build an audience from scratch when one already exists?
What problem does Lynx solve? Unlike many other coins, Lynx is eco-friendly and requires miniscule energy consumption (and technical expertise) to mine the coin. At Lynx, we believe that for cryptocurrency to be considered a secure, financial solution for today’s global marketplace, it must be created with global sustainability in mind. The energy costs of high-volume mining rigs are too demanding and they create an over-reliance on fossil fuels. Lynx business rules discourage high-volume mining rigs because our code purposefully lacks incentives to mine it for profit. Here are some of the business rules that help us achieve this goal:
1. The mining reward takes one week to “mature.”
2. The individual mining reward is only 1 Lynx (+ fees).
3. The cost of a transaction is 0.0001 Lynx/kb.
We designed Lynx to have minimal environmental impact because we’re committed to creating global solutions and maintaining a small carbon footprint. Lynx business rules encourage the use of low-cost computing (like a Raspberry Pi which only consumes less than 3 watts of electricity) to mine the coin. As a result, the electrical cost to maintain the Lynx network is a fraction of a fraction which results in a low environmental impact. The emphasis on low-cost computing also creates a decentralized, broad miner base which also strengthens the stability and security of the currency.
What makes Lynx cryptocurrency unique?
In addition to fixing an old coin (Kittehcoin) and making it eco-friendly, Lynx was designed with techies (high-end developers and programming experts) and non-techies in mind. In fact, we know there are more non-techies in the world than technical experts (!), and we wanted to provide them with an opportunity to get involved in Lynx behind-the-scenes. Our goal is to build an inclusive community that welcomes everyone to participate in the project. It’s one of the reasons we resurrected an old coin instead of building a new one from scratch. Our philosophy is a rising tide lifts all boats; the more people share the same goal, the better it is for everyone involved.
The “Lynx Cryptocurrency Installer” mines Lynx, securely confirms global transactions (yes, it’s a full node) -- and the best part? Anyone can set it up because it runs on a Raspberry Pi.
