Unitus: A Merge-Mined, Multi-Algorithm cryptocurrency with a focus on network security, decentralisation and fair distribution

Please Note: This is the master branch, only stable code releases are available here. Pre-built binaries for common platforms are available in the Releases above. Active development is completed in the dev branch.

Specifications

• Modern Wallet - Forked from Bitcoin Core 0.14.2
• Multi-Algorithm:
  • Lyra2re2 (replaced Blake256 in Feb 2016)
  • Skein
  • Argon2d (replaced Qubit in Jun 2017)
  • X11
  • Yescrypt
• All algorithms can be merge-mined (AuxPoW)
• Each algorithmhas a target 5 minute block time, resulting in a 1 minute block time for the whole network
• Difficulty Retargeting:
  • Each algorithm re-targets every block for that algorithm
  • Uses average block time for past 10 blocks to steer difficulty towards the target block time
  • Maximum change of 5% up or down during normal mining phase, but first 1999 blocks allowed 20% change up or down
• Fair Distribution:
  • No Premine / IPO / ICO / Developer Donation.
  • First 2,000 blocks increase from 1 UIS to 100 UIS (approx. 33 Hours) - total 31,799 UIS
  • Every 7 days / 10,080 blocks thereafter the reward decays by 1% (compound)
  • Decay continues until we reach 2 UIS (approx. June 2022, block 3,933,199, total 98,830,980 UIS) - and then this remains static for each block thereafter
  • Mined blocks mature after 180 confirmations
• No free transactions - minimum fee is 0.01 UIS
• Peer-to-Peer Port: 50603
• RPC Port: 50604
