Welcome to the PecanRolls Blockchain! ꩜

Remember DOGE?? Yeah, I think we all do. This is kind of like that, it all started as a joke and then it turned into a full-functioning fork of Chia. This is an evolving project, so please be kind with your comments 😃

What is the goal of PecanRolls?

This is intended to be an expedited, accelerated rewards blockchain. Instead of 3 years of 2 block rewards, it is designed to be three times the reward amount [6] in a third of the time. The logic is to incentivize early adopters to connect to the blockchain and farm.

Reduction periods for block rewards

• 1st year 6
• 2nd year 3
• then 1 block reward indefinitely

What is different about this fork?

The genesis block is being created directly from the community! Also, the accelerated rewards system.

The way many forks work currently is 2 rewards over the course of a few years, then halving. The Rolls blockchain is increasing the 2 rewards to 6 but over the course of one year. This will reward early adopters and increase the coin amount in the first year only, then halving to 3 around the start of the second year.

Here's the fork stuff, yada yada yada...

PecanRolls is an eco-friendly decentralized blockchain based on the Proof of Space and Time (PoST) consensus pioneered by Chia™. It maintains network robustness, in line with Satoshi Nakamoto's principles.

PecanRolls uses Chialisp language for Smart Contracts, and supports digital money, global payments and applications. PecanRolls is not affiliated with HDDcoin Network., but uses their open-sourced software as its foundation.

Farming PecanRolls is the same as Chia™, it does not consume significant amounts of electricity, and utilizes hard drive space, instead of specialized computing hardware that most Proof of Work (PoW) blockchains like Ethereum (soon to not be PoW) or Ravencoin. Since electricity costs for running hard drives is very minimal, due to this low cost of entry, PecanRolls will remain more decentralized and fair, and thus more secure than any Proof of Stake cryptocurrency.
