What is BlackCoin (BLK)?

BlackCoin, symbolized as BLK, is a unique cryptocurrency that has an innovative approach to blockchain technology. Initially starting off as a Proof of Work (PoW) coin, BlackCoin has since evolved and now follows a unique version of Proof of Stake (PoS). Unlike other cryptocurrencies, BlackCoin rewards users who keep the blockchain secure by staking continuously.

Who created BlackCoin (BLK)?

The team behind BlackCoin remains anonymous, contributing to the overall mystery and intrigue surrounding this unique Proof of Stake cryptocurrency. This relative anonymity is not unusual in the digital currency space, as many coin creators choose to remain unidentified to maintain the decentralised ethos of cryptocurrency. More information about the team and their development efforts can be found on the official BlackCoin website.

How does BlackCoin work?

BlackCoin operates on a unique mechanism called Proof of Stake (PoS). Unlike Proof of Work (PoW), which rewards miners who solve complicated mathematical problems, PoS rewards holders who contribute to the network by keeping their wallets open and staking. The probability to sign a block and earn a reward from staking does not depend on the "age" of the coin, thus encouraging continuous staking. By doing so, BlackCoin aims to incentivise keeping the network secure and robust.

What Makes BlackCoin Unique?

BlackCoin distinguishes itself with a number of unique features. Notably, its security measures are considered extremely robust, being among the first to include fixes for SSL heartbeat, transaction malleability and BIP66. The reward for signing a block in BlackCoin's PoS framework is 1.5 BLK plus fees. The inflation rate is about 0.95%.

Furthermore, BlackCoin's setup rewards users based on their total balance and the time spent staking. With 24/7 staking at the current network weight, users can expect a reward ratio, or interest rate, of about 5%. This incentivises users to continually support the blockchain.

How is the BlackCoin Network Secured?

Through its PoS mechanism, BlackCoin maintains a high level of network security. Continuous staking ensures that the blockchain remains secure as users are incentivized to actively maintain their holdings in the wallet.

How much BlackCoin (BLK) is currently in circulation?

The current circulating supply of BlackCoin is 63.2M. This number is subject to change as more users participate in the BlackCoin network and continually stake their holdings.

Where can you buy BlackCoin (BLK)?

You can buy BlackCoin (BLK) from any of the Bleutrade, Bittrex, AEX, Livecoin, UPbit exchanges where it is currently listed. We recommend conducting your own research to ensure the exchange you select is secure and trustworthy.

How to keep your BlackCoin safe?

Storing your BlackCoin securely is crucial. The BlackCoin team recommends using a safe and secure wallet where you can keep your private keys confidential. Always remember to unlock your wallet for staking only to earn rewards while keeping your holdings secure.

Why does BlackCoin have a minimum transaction fee?

BlackCoin imposes a minimum transaction fee of 0.0001 BLK to prevent spam transactions and maintain the efficiency of the network. This small fee also incentivises BlackCoin holders to stake their coins, further securing the network.
