What is SHA256COIN?
S256 is a Bitcoin fork that embraces difficulty rather than avoiding it.
Built on Bitcoin Core v30.0 with 2x parameters: "Double the Work, Double the Value"
- Longer block times for deliberation (20 min vs 10 min)
- True scarcity through proof of real work
- SHA256 algorithm (Bitcoin ASIC compatible)
- Active development and growing community
S256 is a SHA-256 proof-of-work cryptocurrency that challenges the conventional wisdom of blockchain scaling through increased throughput. Instead of making mining easier and blocks faster, S256 doubles Bitcoin's key parameters: 20-minute blocks, 100 S256 rewards, 84 million total supply (4x Bitcoin), and 16-year halving cycles.
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.
