MERRY CHRISTMAS!
ATOM is a peer to peer cryptocurrency alt-coin based on Quarkcoin, Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Feathercoin. The currency features the Quark proof of work algorithm, which consists of 6 different crypto hashing functions combined 9 times.
ATOM is deflationary as opposed to inflationary, once the max money supply is reached no more coins will be created.
ATOM is CPU minable and "resistant" to GPU and ASIC mining, although the Smelter GPU miner is now available that is reported to give 3-4x more efficiency. Many users like to use cloud mining on VPS's.
Maximum Money Supply 100,000,000 coins
Difficulty has 25% damping and 30% range limiter and is based on a moving average over 80 blocks.
Block reward 1024 coins halves every 48840 blocks (~42 days)
