Bismuth Information
- mainnet launched on May 1, 2017
- custom sha224 mining algo
heavy3- optimized for GPU mining - 60 seconds block time
- mining difficulty retargets every block
- mining rewards reduce slightly every block (instead of a Bitcoin halving every four years)
- lightweight Mainnet Node
- fair distribution - no ICO, no premining
- supports multiple address formats (ECDSA, RSA, ED25519)
- simplicity - transaction id is derived from signature (unlike eth, a nonce for preventing replay attacks isn’t needed)
