Version 1.1 is released. Please upgrade.
Tigercoin - TGC
TGC is a fork of Bitcoin version 0.8, with addition of super random blocks.
Proof of work with SHA256 is used as in Bitcoin. The following specifications are implemented:
- Each normal block has 128 coins
- 45 seconds block time
- Difficulty retargets every 20 blocks (approximately 15 mins).
- mining payout will be halved every 3 months (every 172800 blocks)
- once the payout reaches 1 coin/block, it will stay there to sustain the mining
- Expected total mined coins will be 47,011,968 coins (not counting the one coin per block inflationary sustaining blocks)
- 4 confirmations for transaction
- 50 confirmations for minted blocks
- Random bonus blocks are (on average):
- 1 superblock of 512 coins every hour (1/80 chance)
- 1 superblock of 2048 coins every day (1/1920 chance)
- The default ports are 15660(Connect) and 15661(RPC).
To support early adopters, in the first 3 days - 5760 blocks, all the payouts (including superblocks) will be doubled.
No Premine.
