HalCoin is a pure POW SHA256 clone of BitCoin in every way
(This means all BitCoin mining hardware will work with HalCoin)
No pre-mine.
No insta-mine.
No ninja launch.
A pure breed emulation of BitCoin in honour of one of the most important protagonists of BitCoin and cryptography.
Do you want to get a feel for what it was like in those very early days of Bitcoin?
Would you like to help honour the memory of one of the most important people in Bitcoin?
How would it feel to help support this project and build it into something meaningful, interesting and fun?
HalCoin is a project for the community, and the design and implementation reflects the ideals that started the BitCoin phenomenon.
Benefiting from the technical specs of BitCoin the market leader of cryptocurrency, HalCoin will also benefit from the continued development of the BitCoin core code, allowing us to easily merge all that developmental work straight into the HalCoin code as new developments are released.
HalCoin will benefit from nearly 6 years of software development, community support and infrastructure, while allowing users who "missed out" on the early rewards of Bitcoin to get involved from day 1.
