New genesis on devnet: 61yBp4FQSXq6qxS1Scny8LRBNDLDoNQBKupofVSyyHL8 — difficulty 24, cooldown 300s. The old program is abandoned; genesis parameters can only be set once.
A laptop now mines as much as a rig
Difficulty is set so an ordinary machine finds a proof well inside the cooldown — measured at 12.1 seconds on 5 cores. Past that, extra hashpower buys nothing: every wallet claims once per 300 seconds regardless. Verified: a second attempt 45 seconds after a successful claim got nothing.
Two ways to mine, one core
brew install maxtindall/frankcoin/frankcoin
The CLI is the honest default — Homebrew builds it from source on your machine, so there is no binary to trust with a keypair. The app below is the same core with a window around it (ad-hoc signed, not notarised: right-click → Open on first launch).

Devnet only. These franks are test tokens and are worth nothing.
