Algorithms

Proof of Work

It's just the HEX representation of SHA256 of the JSON Object (minified) on one block.

The difficulty is calculated in NIPPLES

           .-''-''-.
          /   '-'  .: __
  .._    /  /|||\\  Y`  `\
 |:  `-.J  /__ __.., )   |
 |  .   ( ( ==|<== : )   |
 :   `.(  )\ _L__ /( )   |
  \    \(  )\\__//(  )   |
   \    \  ):`'':(  /    \
    -_   -.-   .'-'` ` . |
     `. :           .  ' :
      )            :    /
     /    : /   _   :  :   | . . .-. .-. .-. .   .-. .-. 
    @)    : |  (@)  | : <--| |\|  |  |-' |-' |   |-  `-. 
     \   /   \     / /     | ' ` `-' '   '   `-' `-' `-'
      `i`     `---' /

How nipples work:

0 Nip: b000b5FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF 
1 Nip: b000b57FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF 
2 Nip: b000b53FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF 
3 Nip: b000b51FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF 
4 Nip: b0000b5FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF 
...
236 Nip: b0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000b5

for least significant bit after b00[0]*5:

1111: f
0111: 7
0011: 3
0001: 1
0000: 0 ---> adds a 0 in b00b5

Transactions

To sign transactions we will use ECDSA

https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_Curve_Digital_Signature_Algorithm

we will use "ed25519" curve for address generation:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve25519

why?

https://safecurves.cr.yp.to/

and it's also supported by the elliptic library for NodeJS

Address

Generated from the public key:

RIPEMD160( SHA256( publicKey ) )

Block Generation

Generated every 0x101 hex (LOL) seconds, 257seconds minutes, ~ 4 minutes.

Nipples are calculated with an average 0xA55 hex (ASS) blocks, 2545 blocks, if time > 0x101 hex go up. Otherwise it goes down.

Miner Reward & Halving

The b00b5Coin reward starts from 1024 (2^10) Coins per block, the halving of the reward is every 0xb00b5 (721.077) blocks, every ~5 years.

let sum = 0;
for(let i=0; i<=10; i++){
    let reward = Math.pow(2, i);
    console.log("Reward: " + reward + " Total: " + reward* 0xB00B5);
    sum += reward * 0xB00B5;
}
console.log("Total Reward: " + sum);
// 1.476.044.619 of b00b135
