Argonmine

Proof-of-work chain you can mine from a phone or a laptop.

[Argonmine @argonminechain]

Argonmine is live today.

It's a proof-of-work chain built around Argon2id, so the mining runs on normal hardware. Open the app in a browser, press Mine, and your phone or laptop starts looking for blocks.

21 million total $ARG .

Early blocks are live.

From block 2,925 to 4,924 the chain mints ARG for anyone who asks, at one rate written into the node software: 20 ARG for 1 uARG. At most 500 ARG a block and 1,000,000 in all. After block 4,924, ARG comes only from mining.

How to take part

1. Open https://t.co/TSfyoJf4hR
2. No uARG yet? Press Bridge in and deposit USDC or USDT from Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum One or BNB Chain. It arrives as uARG in the same wallet.
3. Enter an amount, from 1 to 25 uARG per request, and confirm. You need no ARG for the network fee.
4. The next block that includes your request pays you 20 ARG for each uARG, out of its coinbase. The coins can be spent 100 blocks later, like any block reward.

What to know

- One rate for everyone. No allocation, no list, nothing set aside.
- If nobody asks, nothing is minted.
- A block mints at most 500 ARG, so when many requests arrive together they are included in turn.
- The uARG goes to the treasury address, on chain.
- Every request and every minted coin is public on the explorer.

Node runners: early blocks change the consensus rules, so they need release 1.2.0. Pool, browser and app miners do nothing. If you run your own node, upgrade now: https://t.co/XXQit88TOB

Most of that hashrate is the pool: open it in the app, pick a thread count, done. Solo mining still works for anyone running a node.

[Argonmine @argonminechain]

Three days in.

Network hashrate 21 MH/s, twice what it was yesterday. All of it CPU, Argon2id.

Difficulty 19,240 and climbing. 131,350 ARG mined, 50 per block.

No premine. Every coin came out of a block.

Names are live.

A name instead of an address: satoshi.arg. Register it in the app, send to it, see it on the explorer. Yours for a year or more.

[Argonmine @argonminechain]

How it works: the same blocks, reward to the pool address. Your miner sends a share every 15 seconds, proof of its hashes, each one checked. At 100 confirmations a block's reward, less a 1% fee, is split over the round's shares.

All of it public: https://t.co/FOSeMsZLRC

[Argonmine @argonminechain]

Pool mining is live.

A phone mining alone could wait months for a block. From today the app can mine in the pool: every block the pool finds is shared by everyone in it, by the work each did, and paid out from 0.1 ARG.

Solo stays the default, unchanged.

@300544Tris49756 which blockchain ? you are alreday getting you ARG on Mainnet

[Argonmine @argonminechain]

Three ways to mine ARG: a phone, a computer, or a rented server.

All three do the same work, Argon2id on real block headers, and pay one wallet. A phone makes the fewest attempts per second; a server the most, around the clock.

That box is Chrome offering to add the web app to your home screen, not an extension. It installs nothing. Chrome shows it on its own after a second visit; we have now turned that off so it only appears if you press Install in Settings.

The app runs in the browser tab. Nothing to download, and the 24 words never leave your device.
