Double the Work, Double the Value
The contrarian approach to cryptocurrency: harder to mine, longer block times, true scarcity through proof of real work.
While others race to make mining easier, S256 takes the contrarian path. True value comes from genuine work and scarcity.
20-minute blocks encourage thoughtful transactions over rushed decisions. Quality over speed.
Like platinum to gold, S256 is rarer and requires more effort. Excellence takes time and energy.
Double Bitcoin's 10 minutes. More time for network consensus and reduced orphan rates.
Double Bitcoin's 50 BTC initial reward. More incentive for securing the network.
Four times Bitcoin's 21 million cap. True scarcity with proportional distribution.
Double Bitcoin's 4-year cycle. Longer economic epochs for stability.
