Network
How the chain advances.
Network parameters below come from the official mining page and fact sheet. They are protocol figures, not performance promises.
Hardware
Commodity GPU
Official mining docs contrast Ycash with Bitcoin and Zcash ASIC mining: a commodity GPU can participate.
Algorithm
Equihash(192,7)
Official mining docs say mining software must support Ycash's Equihash(192,7) algorithm.
Target block spacing
1.25 minutes
The official fact sheet lists a 1.25-minute target block spacing.
Current block reward
1.5625 YEC
The official fact sheet lists this as the current block reward. It is a protocol figure, not an earnings estimate, and it can change.
Block reward allocation
100% to miners
The official fact sheet currently lists 100% of the block reward as allocated to miners. Confirm coinbase construction against current ycashd before operating a pool.
