The first (and only) Proof-of-Play cryptocurrency.
Launch date: 20 May 2014, 20:00 UTC
Motocoin is a cryptocurrency utilizing an innovative proof-of-play scheme where coins can only be mined by cognitive workload - playing a 2D motorbike simulation game, which is different from Bitcoin and other crypto-currencies that use a proof-of-work scheme where miners must perform difficult computations and then use proof of that work to secure coin transactions and get their reward. Motocoin has been dominated by bots but now a fast, publicly available bot has been released, giving everyone a fair chance at mining.
Network Parameters
- Blocks are generated on average every 60 seconds.
- The reward for solving a block starts at 20 motocoins, which is halved every 1'000'000 blocks (about two years) and stops decreasing at 0.4 motocoins per block.
- Mining difficulty is adjusted every 2000 blocks through lowering the target time if blocks took less than an average of 60 seconds to generate, or raising the target time if blocks took longer than that.
- ≈40 million coins are to be generated during the first 12 years and ≈200,000 coins per year after.
- 450K premine (was partially used for rewards, the rest was sold in panic during the early days of Motocoin).
