What is BlackCoin

A new form of currency


BlackCoin is a peer-to-peer digital currency with a distributed, decentralized public ledger; that unlike ones held at traditional banks, are viewable and easily audited by the people.

The ability to manage transactions and issue additional BlackCoins is all handled by the network of users utilizing BlackCoin. Because the BlackCoin network is run by the people, holders of BlackCoin receive a 1% yearly interest through a process called staking.

BlackCoin's Key Features

BlackCoin has many fundamental advantages

  • Low Inflation
    BlackCoin was widely distributed over a short proof of work mining phase. No new BlackCoins will ever be minted aside from the 1% yearly interest paid to holders of BlackCoin.
  • Fast Transactions
    BlackCoin's proof of stake system makes the BlackCoin network lightning fast. BlackCoin is the ideal digital currency for face to face transactions and all applications that value speed.
  • Blockchain Security
    BlackCoin's network is secure against the attacks other digital currencies face due to their reliability on large-scale mining operations to run their networks.
  • Environmentally Sound
    The BlackCoin network does not require the use of large-scale, specialized hardware operations. BlackCoin is far more energy-efficient than traditional digital currency networks.
  • Innovative Community
    BlackCoin has a strong and dedicated community made up of both talented developers and users working hard to push BlackCoin as far as it will go. BlackHalo is a perfect example of this.
  • Wide Merchant Adoption
    New online merchants and services accept BlackCoin every day. Look for BlackCoin in more point of sale applications soon with recent addition to CoinKite merchant services.
