Wcash 🛡️

Merged mining with Zcash. Zero dev tax.

[Wcash 🛡️ @WcashProject]

Wcash Mainnet is producing blocks. Genesis is anchored to ZEC block #3,488,810.
Wcash block #1 arrived at 13:24:10 UTC, and the chain reached block #57 by 13:31 UTC.
Rewards ramp over the first 40,000 blocks and are paid to Ironwood shielded outputs.

Zcash got this right in 2016: give miners time to join.
Start rewards small. Let the network find its feet before the largest rewards arrive.

Wcash’s slow start ends at block 40,000. Just 555 blocks left, roughly 12 hours at the target pace.

Zcash’s original ramp took 20,000 blocks at 150 seconds each. Wcash uses 40,000 at 75 seconds.

Ten years apart, both gave the slow launch about five weeks.
Now Wcash is nearing the end of that ramp, mined alongside Zcash with the same Equihash work. Afterward, rewards decline smoothly, without scheduled halvings.

To the miners and pool operators who joined while rewards were still small: thank you.

There’s room for more.

@WcashProject just hit 146 MSol/s.
That’s ~0.45% of @Zcash’s reported hashrate.

[Wcash 🛡️ @WcashProject]

Looking forward to more Zcash miners discovering Wcash through @miningpoolstats and more pools offering merged mining with the same Equihash work.

[Mykyta @TheZeconomist]

Respect to @miningpoolstats.
For years, you’ve helped miners find pools, compare their options and follow the hashrate.
There’s a lot of work behind those tables.
A proper thanks to the people keeping them useful, year after year.

Your money is nobody else’s business. $WEC

The funding code for @WcashFoundation is merged into Wolf’s main branch.
Activation is set for block 33,000, during slow start: 30% of WEC block subsidies for ~511 days at target block times.

Molepool has launched zcash:native + $WEC merged mining.

This is important for Wcash: miners now have a second independent public pool alongside ZecWec.

Thank you, @MOLEPOOL1, for building and launching the integration. 🐺

Wcash slow start just saw a 223 MSol/s mining burst.

For nearly 8 minutes, hashpower jumped from ~1.4 MSol/s to 223 MSol/s, finding 89 blocks before moving on.

This is why the 40,000-block slow start exists: open merged mining, real demand, and time for more miners to join. 🐺
