Welcome to this post on Ferrite coin!
FEC -> Scrypt ASIC coinAs one of the new developers and large bagholder ($200 of electricity) of Ferrite Core, I would like to ensure the security of the experimental blockchain from a 51% attack, which means that more hashrate is required and therefore would like to call onto the Bitcoin Forum community to particpate in the mining of ferritecoin.
Summary:
Algorithm: S-Crypt (scrypt)
Block time: 1 minute.
The purpose of a longer block time is to ensure that block propagation delays do not constitute a large percentage of the target interval. Compared to a decade ago, network infrastructure and computer performance have increased, and delays have been reduced to a few seconds. A propagation delay of 5 seconds correspond to a detached (orphan) block rate of 7%. This rate is similar to sales taxes, and is a fair trade-off for faster confirmation times as the network scales. A shorter block time will only disproportionately increase block time.
Difficulty readjustment time: 60 minutes (60 blocks)
Hindsight is 20/20. Given the volatile economics of cryptocurrency, difficulty readjustment is set to a shorter time span. While some may believe that an even shorter difficulty readjustment time would be better, 60 blocks will strike a fair balance between dynamic difficulty adjustment and difficulty stability. This is because blocks can be solved faster as a result of luck. By the central limit theorem, 60 blocks is a sample large enough to be approximately normal.
Coin generation:
No premineThe total number of coins are
60,221,400 because this means that the number of atomic units (10^8 per coin) is very close to 1/10^8 of the number of atoms in one mole of ferrite.
Mining will generate 100 coins per block, with a halving time of 301,107 blocks. On the time this post was written (early 2023), the block height is 50,000 with a 24h average hashrate of a mere 3.0 GH/s across 11 pools. We believe that with a high block reward, this can offer users a concrete stake in Ferrite and its development. We hope that early adopters will be willing to support this coin and spend time to create services to improve this coin.
Fair start:
The coin wallet is released with precompiled binaries. You can also compile the source code directly from Github. Mining pools and a quick start wiki guide have been created so that even those new to cryptocurrency can start mining on rental hashrate.
