KenyaCoin is based on the Bitcoin code base and is designed for open participation worldwide. Mine with an efficient BitAxe ASIC miner or use Linux-based mining software to get started.
KenyaCoin can be mined with SHA-256 hardware. For an individual miner, BitAxe provides a compact and relatively affordable way to access ASIC-class hashing without operating a full industrial mining rig.
Purpose-built SHA-256 ASIC hardware delivers hashing performance many orders of magnitude beyond general-purpose CPU mining. Its compact form factor makes BitAxe a practical way to begin mining KenyaCoin.
KenyaCoin can also be mined from Ubuntu and other Linux-based systems using compatible mining software. This is useful for testing, learning and participating with existing computers.
General-purpose CPUs and GPUs typically do not approach the SHA-256 hash rate of dedicated ASIC miners, so they are better suited to experimentation than competitive mining.
The KenyaCoin project presents KES 35,000 as its base reference value, linked to an entry-level mining benchmark. This gives the network an understandable starting reference tied to the cost of participating in mining.
The project’s intended economic model is scarcity-oriented: as the amount of KenyaCoin remaining available for mining falls, increasing scarcity is expected to support a higher coin value, subject to actual market demand, liquidity and trading conditions.
KenyaCoin builds on Bitcoin’s open-source technical foundation, adapting a mature blockchain architecture rather than starting from an entirely new protocol design.
KenyaCoin uses the Bitcoin code base as its technical foundation.
Mining is compatible with the same class of SHA-256 hashing hardware used by Bitcoin-style networks.
Miners can participate using suitable hardware and compatible network software.
KenyaCoin is its own blockchain network with its own coins, miners and network activity.
KenyaCoin is designed as a global digital network. A miner does not have to be in Kenya to participate. With internet connectivity, compatible software and suitable mining hardware, KenyaCoin mining can take place from anywhere in the world.
Built from the Bitcoin code base, open to miners worldwide, and designed around accessible SHA-256 participation.
