Anything else is not us. No presale, no allocation, no DMs.

Mainnet opens 15 September. Anything older than v0.1.5 forks itself off at height 1 and nothing tells it — the protocol carries blocks, not notices.

[WAM Coin @WAMCoinCore]

We checked the registry against the binary before writing it down anywhere.

WAM_BIP44_COIN_TYPE = 0x57414D — which is 5,718,349, and also the letters WAM in ASCII.

A registration that disagreed with the code would be worse than none.

[WAM Coin @WAMCoinCore]

What it is not: an endorsement, a listing, or a promise that any wallet will add support.

Registration checks that a coin is real and that its numbers do not collide. Not that it is any good.

Anyone telling you otherwise is selling something.

[WAM Coin @WAMCoinCore]

It settles something that had already cost us.

A Bisq maintainer went looking for WAM, found an unrelated BEP-20 token of the same name, and wrote that he saw no project related to it.

From today anyone checking finds WAM Coin in the registry SatoshiLabs keeps.

[WAM Coin @WAMCoinCore]

SatoshiLabs merged WAM into SLIP-0044 and SLIP-0173 today.

Coin type 5718349. Address prefix `wam`.

Those numbers are now reserved to this chain and to no other — the registry every wallet reads before it derives an address.

If you run a node and haven't updated since 23 August: v0.1.5 changed a consensus rule. An older node forks itself off mainnet on 15 September and nothing tells it.

WAM is testnet software until then. The coins have no value and may never have any.

If you mine WAM, update:

Verify the checksum first. A miner that stops silently loses everything it would have earned and tells you nothing.

[WAM Coin @WAMCoinCore]

It fired for real the next morning:

11:15:12 no job or reply for 601s — reconnecting
11:15:13 connected
11:15:24 share accepted

Same machine, same failure. Ten minutes instead of six hours, and nobody touched it.

[WAM Coin @WAMCoinCore]

The check has to come after the read, or it measures how long we went without looking — not how long the pool went without speaking.

And RandomX rebuilding its dataset stops the loop for 78s. The first two versions counted that as silence and dropped a live connection.

[WAM Coin @WAMCoinCore]

v0.1.6: the miner measures the silence itself. Ten minutes with nothing from the pool — no job, no reply to a share — and it reconnects.

We got it wrong twice before shipping. Both times it was caught by testing it, not by reasoning about it.

[WAM Coin @WAMCoinCore]

The TCP connection was half-open.

recv() returned neither zero nor an error, so the miner had no event to react to. SO_KEEPALIVE is set — Linux waits two hours before its first probe.

The process was alive. The socket was "established". It carried nothing.

[WAM Coin @WAMCoinCore]

On 24 August a WAM miner held one job for six hours.

The pool sent it at 06:18 for block 1370. The chain reached 1430 without it.

At 12:36 it solved that job — a block already buried sixty deep. Then the hash rate went to zero.

Nothing reported a fault.

Running a node? Watch this repo for releases — you'll be told about
every consensus change without following anything else:

https://t.co/iqTbSLIvAO → Watch → Custom → Releases

[WAM Coin @WAMCoinCore]

WAM Coin v0.1.5 is out, and updating is not optional.

Every earlier release enforces a different mainnet treasury address — a
consensus rule. A node still on v0.1.4 will fork itself off the network
at height 1 on 15 September, silently.

Testnet is fine today. Mainnet will not be.

[WAM Coin @WAMCoinCore]

Two developers have reviewed the code so far and found two real security holes. Both are fixed and the exchange is public.

Nobody has been paid to audit the consensus changes. That is the part I most want read, and there is a bounty:

Running a node takes about five minutes and costs nothing. The guide assumes you have never done it:

Testnet coins are worth nothing and never will be. That is the point — break it now, while breaking it is free.

[WAM Coin @WAMCoinCore]

WAM Coin is a Bitcoin Core v28.1 fork with RandomX proof of work — CPU mining, 22M cap, no premine sale, no ICO.

Testnet is live. Mainnet is 15 Sep.

I am asking for two things before then: people to run a node, and people to read the consensus code.
