Jupitercoin

About

Jupitercoin is a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin, although it does not use SHA256 as its proof of work (POW). Taking development cues from Tenebrix and Litecoin, Jupitercoin currently employs a simplified variant of scrypt.

FAQ

Mining

Jupitercoin uses a simplified variant of the scrypt key derivation function as its proof of work with a target time of one minute per block and difficulty readjustment after every block. The block rewards are fixed and halve every 100,000 blocks. Starting with the 400,000th block, a permanent reward of 1 Jupitercoin per block will be paid. The difficulty retargeting scheme is based off of Dogecoin.

The current block reward schedule:

  • 1–99,999: 10 Jupitercoin
  • 100,000–199,999: 5 Jupitercoin
  • 200,000–299,999: 2.5 Jupitercoin
  • 300,000–399,999: 1.25 Jupitercoin
  • 400,000+: 1 Jupitercoin
