What software do you need for mining the Duinocoin (DUCO)?

Translations: DE, SV

You mine the Duinocoin with special mining software. What software do you need for the different possible hardware platforms and where do you get this software? ".

Mining the Duinocoin is possible with different hardware and therefore also different software solutions. There are two basic components: a part that communicates with the pool servers, fetches jobs and sends back results, and a second part that processes the jobs with the DUCO-S1 algorithm.

Even though the mining of the Duinocoin takes place in software, it must of course run on hardware. What hardware can be used to mine DUCO?

The Duinocoin can not only be mined on an Arduino UNO/Nano. A PC, a notebook, a Raspberry Pi, a smartphone, a server, a Linux container (LXC) or a virtual machine (VM) and even an internet browser can serve as a basis. What is worthwhile, what is not?

How to set up an online wallet for the Duinocoin (DUCO)?

Translations: DE, SV

A wallet is indispensable for the Duinocoin, because it stores your own Duinocoins (DUCO) and enables you to receive and send DUCO..

The Duinocoin wallet is available online on the Duinocoin server. Via an API (programming interface), the wallet can be accessed via own scripts and from applications. The Duinocoin software contains a Python3 script (Wallet.py), but it is not up-to-date.

What is the Duinocoin (DUCO)? What do you need for it? How do you mine it?

Translations: DE, SV

The Duinocoin is an open-source, centralised and environmentally friendly cryptocurrency for microcontrollers and other low-power computers.

The Duinocoin (DUCO) was originally developed for the Arduino UNO. Its aim is to be a unique cryptocurrency for mining on low-power, low-cost microcontrollers and simple computers. A Raspberry Pi, an Arduino UNO or an ESP8266/ESP32 are all you need to start mining.

The official whitepaper explains the idea, background and function of the Duinocoin (DUCO).

Translations: DE, SV

To understand a cryptocurrency, you should read its white paper - if it exists at all. For the Duinocoin (DUCO), its inventor has prepared an easy-to-read document.

The Duinocoin (DUCO) was specially developed for the Arduino UNO and uses a SHA1 chain. The Kolka system created by the DUCO developers themselves regulates the difficulty (dufficulty) to reward weak miners fairly. But how exactly does it work?

Slow is better than fast - Kolka turns the performance madness upside down

Translations: DE, SV

The Duinocoin (DUCO) is based on a SHA1 hash chain and uses the Kolka system created by the DUCO developers themselves to reward weak miners fairly. How does this work?

With all other cryptocurrencies, miners are rewarded who are as fast as possible, energy-hungry and therefore expensive. Those who use more money get more coins. With Duinocoin, it's the other way around: an Arduino UNO/Nano is the cheapest and most efficient way to mine DUCO.
