Welcome to Rhino Miner
Rhino Miner is a complete cryptocurrency ecosystem built for community-driven, CPU-friendly mining. Whether you're new to cryptocurrency or an experienced miner, this documentation will help you understand and use the Rhino Miner ecosystem.
What is Cryptocurrency?
Cryptocurrency is digital money that uses cryptography for security and operates independently of central banks. Unlike traditional currencies (like dollars or euros), cryptocurrencies are:
- Decentralized: No single authority controls the network
- Secure: Cryptographic algorithms protect transactions
- Transparent: All transactions are recorded on a public ledger
- Borderless: Send value anywhere in the world instantly
- Permissionless: Anyone can participate without approval
Cryptocurrencies enable peer-to-peer transactions without intermediaries like banks or payment processors.
What is a Blockchain?
A blockchain is a distributed ledger technology that records all cryptocurrency transactions. Think of it as a digital ledger that:
- Contains blocks: Groups of transactions bundled together
- Is chained together: Each block references the previous one
- Cannot be altered: Once recorded, transactions are permanent
- Is distributed: Copies exist on thousands of computers worldwide
- Is verified by consensus: Network participants agree on the state
How Blockchains Work
- Transaction initiated: Someone sends cryptocurrency to another address
- Broadcast to network: The transaction is shared with all nodes
- Miners validate: Network participants verify the transaction is valid
- Block creation: Validated transactions are grouped into a block
- Block added: The new block is added to the chain permanently
- Transaction complete: The recipient can now use the funds
What is Mining?
Mining is the process of validating transactions and adding new blocks to the blockchain. Miners:
- Secure the network: By solving complex mathematical problems
- Validate transactions: Ensuring all transactions follow the rules
- Create new coins: Miners receive rewards for their work
- Maintain consensus: Everyone agrees on the blockchain's state
When you mine, your computer competes with others to solve a cryptographic puzzle. The first to solve it gets to add the next block and receives the block reward.
What is Rhino Miner Coin?
Rhino Miner Coin (RMC) is a CPU-focused cryptocurrency designed to be accessible to everyone. Built with fairness and community values at its core, RMC offers:
Key Features
- CPU-Friendly Algorithm: Uses YespowerR16, optimized for regular computers
- Browser Mining: Mine directly from your web browser—no software installation required
- Fair Launch: No premine, no ICO, no insider advantages
- Community-First: Built by miners, for miners
- Predictable Supply: Clear monetary policy with tail emission
Monetary Policy
- Block Time: 60 seconds (one block per minute)
- Starting Reward: 50 RMC per block
- Halving Interval: Every 800,000 blocks (~1.52 years)
- Tail Emission: 0.1 RMC per block minimum (ensuring long-term security)
- Max Supply: No hard cap due to tail emission
- Development Fee: 0% (completely community-funded)
Why CPU-Friendly Matters
Most cryptocurrencies today require expensive specialized hardware (ASICs or high-end GPUs). RMC is different:
- Mine with any computer—desktop, laptop, or even mobile
- Level playing field for all participants
- Lower barrier to entry for new miners
- More decentralized network (not dominated by mining farms)
