Just found the other MicroCoin.... Arduino is trademarked, it can't be used here as our coin's name. It looks like MicroCoin shut down a few years ago, and has gone through 3 iterations. It seems incredibly unstable AND the forum thread is almost dead. I will consider changing the name though. Thanks for the info.

Its not dead at all actually. Its a trading pair over at alcurex exchange. At the exchange it can be purchased with USD or EURO as well.

It wasn't.

The MC comes from a master address that will be open source. This address stores every unreleased MC.

I was referring to the MC as money...

Question ..

To mine, simply load the sketch to the Arduino, tether to your computer or router, and start raking in the money!

Where does this money come from? Your donation address?

I love how the VERY first post was completely ignored.

Sir_Astral just tried 3 different ways, none worked. I'm open to suggestions.

tbearhere: X11, Scrypt, SHA 256 would be almost impossible to port to arduino due to the massive processing power required. The algorithm used is none of those, and is custom.

Ok I see....thank you.

Splatters: What do you mean by that? QUBIT means Quantum Bit in my field of knowledge.

OfficialMicroCoin do you mean you have no algo? Or are you saying any algo will work? thx

I forgot to mention, whoever gets the block is decided by amount of points. Transactions have 3 steps to being verified, verified signature (1 point as the most powerful computer will get this easily), verified sender (2 points as it is a mix of powerful computer and internet speed), verified recipient (Another 2 points for the same reason.)

Now, with the low mining payout, high computers will not get their money back. An Uno can reimburse you though.

Sir_Astral those will come once the coin is launched. Also, there is NO PREMINE!

EDIT: To help pay for bounties and stuff, 5000MC will be premined.

The algo doesn't have a name. It's custom. You mine by verifying transactions. First you verify the transaction signature, then the sender, then the reciever. For best use, an arduino hooked up to an sd card reader is required (to store the blockchain).

The MC comes from a master address that will be open source. This address stores every unreleased MC. Donations are to help with server cost AND keep dev going Wink

. You could set up a big server, but the only advantage would be with verifying the hash! Internet speed is the main requirement (to check where the MC is coming from)... this is optimized for small computers so a 512 core computer will have no advantage.
