VivuscoinVivuscoin: an open proof-of-work coin you can mine, run and verify yourself.
SHA-256d, 240-second blocks, 50 VVC per block, fixed emission, MIT-licensed code. The network is relaunching with the v1.1 upgrade: install the wallet, create an address and be ready to mine or claim the airdrop when blocks flow again. Supply, emission and every block are public.

What Vivuscoin is
A Bitcoin-derived proof-of-work coin with open code, a fixed emission schedule and a fully published supply. Nothing is hidden and nothing is for sale: you mine VVC or claim it, you never buy it here.
Nothing hidden
About 127.03 million VVC exist today, every one of them created by a block subsidy that anyone can check. The subsidy is 50 VVC a block and halves every 210,000 blocks; the schedule, the current total and every balance are on the Supply page and the block explorer.
Proof of work you can verify
SHA-256d, the same hash as Bitcoin, on Bitcoin-derived code released under the MIT licence. Run your own node and check every block, every balance and every airdrop payout yourself.
What is VivuscoinBuilt to keep going
v1.1 adjusts difficulty every block, recovers from a stall within hours and refuses deep reorganisations, so the network stays mineable for you at any hash rate.
What changes in v1.1Get started in three steps
You can install the wallet and create your address today. Transactions confirm once the relaunched network is producing blocks.
-
Download the wallet
Vivuscoin Core v1.0.0.3 for Windows and macOS. The v1.1 wallet ships with the relaunch; upgrade before the activation height to stay on the network.
-
Create an address
Let the wallet sync to the current chain tip, then open the Receive tab. Your address starts with
A. Back upwallet.datbefore you use it. -
Get VVC
Mine solo through the stratum endpoint, or register your address for the airdrop and receive 50 VVC, once per address. There is no exchange, and VVC is not sold anywhere.
Download the wallet
Vivuscoin Core is the only wallet for VVC. Every build comes from the GitHub release page, and the buttons below always point at the latest release.
Windows 64-bit
Installer (.exe). Windows may warn about an unknown publisher; the binary is built from the public source.
macOS
Disk image (.dmg), unsigned: right-click the app and choose Open the first time.
Linux 64-bit
The 2021 build does not run on current Linux distributions. Build from source, or wait for the v1.1 release.
Legacy downloadSource code: github.com/vivuscoin/vivuscoin (MIT). Third-party wallets, hardware wallets and exchanges do not support VVC.
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
Blocks only count once the network is producing them again.
Until the v1.1 restart your miner will connect and submit shares, but the chain may not advance. Watch Network status.
Straight answers
What is Vivuscoin?
An open-source proof-of-work coin built on Bitcoin-derived code. It uses SHA-256d, targets a block every 240 seconds and pays 50 VVC per block on a fixed emission schedule. The chain launched in 2021 and is relaunching with the v1.1 upgrade.
How is VVC created?
Only by mining: every block pays a subsidy of 50 VVC, halving every 210,000 blocks, and about 127.03 million VVC exist today. Nothing was sold and nothing is for sale. The emission schedule is on the Supply & transparency page; every block and balance is on the block explorer.
Can I buy VVC?
Why is the network relaunching?
The 2021 rules adjusted difficulty only every 5,040 blocks. Difficulty rose, the hash power left, and blocks stopped in September 2021. v1.1 adjusts difficulty every block and recovers from a stall within hours, so a drop in hash rate no longer stops the network. See the roadmap.
Why the name “digital life token”
The whitepaper sets out a research ambition, not a product: 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 leave their biological bodies and live in a digital form.
Vivuscoin is meant to be the currency that pays for computational resources in that future. That is the motivation behind the project; it is not a claim about what the coin does today.
