Kindcoin is powered by Counterparty and secured by the Bitcoin Blockchain, so there is no mining.
There is no ICO either. An ICO involves buying the coins from the developer (or from an intermediary who then pays the developer), but that is not how Kindcoin works- we do not sell you the coins or receive any payment for them. Instead you earn Kindcoins is by verifiably pledging to a cause. This not only means that every Kindcoin in existence involves doing a social good, it also helps to ensure that, going forward, the Kindcoins you own have real monetary value.
