Samycoin is a lightweight, miner‑focused cryptocurrency designed as a human‑scale blockchain: small enough to understand, fair enough to mine, and clear enough to extend.
Server‑only blockchain today, with a clear roadmap toward peer‑to‑peer networking and decentralized consensus.
Modern blockchains have become large, complex, and hardware‑intensive. Samycoin takes the opposite approach: a small, transparent system that restores mining to individuals.
Designed so that standard desktop CPUs can participate meaningfully.
Samycoin is intentionally simple enough to be read, studied, and extended.
A single authoritative node today, with a roadmap toward decentralization.
21M supply, 50 SMY reward, halving every 210k blocks, 180s block time.
Ed25519 keys, secure signing, account balances, RPC interface.
VARDIFF, share accounting, proportional payouts, daily payments.
Samycoin uses four cryptographic hash functions combined through a custom mixing function.
Industry‑standard hashing.
High‑entropy hashing.
Fast and secure hashing.
Keccak‑based hashing.
Mining is the core activity of Samycoin. The node exists to support miners.
The official miner uses multiple CPU threads to maximize performance on standard desktop hardware.
Threads never restart; they update work atomically and switch jobs instantly when new work arrives.
Inner loops are optimized with SSE instructions for improved throughput on modern CPUs.
Samycoin evolves in clear, incremental phases to maintain simplicity while expanding capabilities.
