Built like Bitcoin, sized for you
Vivuscoin runs on Bitcoin-derived code under the MIT licence, with a fixed emission schedule and a solo mining endpoint anyone can point a miner at.
Proof of work
SHA-256d, the same hash as Bitcoin. Difficulty adjusts every block, so the network keeps a steady 240-second rhythm at any hash rate.
What is VivuscoinFixed supply schedule
Every block pays 50 VVC to the miner who finds it, halving every 210,000 blocks. The schedule is written into the consensus code.
SupplySolo mining built in
Point any SHA-256 miner at the project's stratum endpoint with your address as the username. A block you find pays its full reward straight to you.

How to mine
Point any SHA-256d miner at the solo stratum endpoint with your VVC address as the username.
The pool runs in solo mode: every block you find pays its full 50 VVC reward directly to the address you use as the username. Nothing is held by the pool, and there is nothing to withdraw.
Pool URL: stratum+tcp://pool.vivuscoin.com:3333 Username: your VVC wallet address (e.g. A... from the Vivuscoin wallet) Password: x Example: -a sha256d -o stratum+tcp://pool.vivuscoin.com:3333 -u <YOUR_VVC_ADDRESS> -p x

Where can I get VVC?
What is new in Core 1.1?
Per-block difficulty adjustment, protection against long gaps between blocks, tighter block timestamps and a reorganisation limit. The full answer is in the FAQ.
Why the name “digital life token”
The whitepaper sets out a research ambition: to make life inside a computer indistinguishable from biological life by scanning and simulating a human brain in full physical detail, so that people could one day live in a digital form.
Vivuscoin is meant to be the currency that pays for computational resources in that future.
