SHA256COIN (S256)

“The cryptocurrency space has witnessed a proliferation of projects racing toward the same goal: faster transactions, easier mining, and increased supply. While these approaches have merit in specific contexts, they collectively dilute the fundamental value proposition of digital scarcity that made Bitcoin revolutionary.

Most Bitcoin forks reduce block times to 2.5 minutes, 1 minute, or even seconds, arguing this improves usability. However, this comes at the cost of increased orphan rates, reduced security confirmation times, and network instability. The result is a degradation of the very properties that make proof-of-work valuable: deliberation, security, and genuine resource expenditure.

S256 takes the opposite approach. If Bitcoin is digital gold, S256 is digital platinum—rarer, requiring more work to obtain, and more deliberate in its creation. By doubling Bitcoin’s parameters rather than halving them, S256 creates a cryptocurrency optimized for store of value rather than high-frequency transactions.
