What is MBC

MicroBitcoin (MBC) Header Image

MicroBitcoin is a decentralized peer-to-peer(P2P) payment protocol for the micro-economy.
MicroBitcoin platform is hard forked from Bitcoin’s 525,000th block,
and is intended to be a user-friendly cryptocurrency.

Vision and Mission

A payments protocol
built on blockchain technology
with open source, decentralization
and peer-to-peer at heart.

Satoshi Nakamoto’s original plan for creating Bitcoin was to provide a decentralized system of payments which was not under the control of any centralized fiat-rendering organization. However, Bitcoin has found limited application for micro-payments because of the problems of scalability, slow transaction times and high transaction costs.

To realize this original vision, we have designed MicroBitcoin that is 10,000 times the total supply of Bitcoin which is of the lower unit price. However, in order to embody this faster transaction speed had to be implemented, and many difficulties including lower fees as well as high rewards for mining had to be faced. Thanks to various contributors all around the world such as Korea, the US, and Ukraine, we have now realized the policies for speed, transaction fees, and reward, and the coin has been developed. In addition, we have completed the coin to be usable in micro-economy through thorough security by implementing the new encryption algorithm, LWMA-3, for the first time in the world.

Nonetheless, risks that threaten MicroBitcoin can always arise due to an unexpected level of exponential growth of user numbers and technology advancement. We would like to leave this task to the open-source economy as a homework for everyone. As the concept of currency does not belong to anyone, we hope that MicroBitcoin settles down as a concept of a new currency. This signifies that no one can claim the authority of a creator and that it has to be the new form of payment through all participants who have and will contribute.

Specifications

MicroBitcoin (MBC) Specifications

Written below are the efforts of the community to succeed Bitcoin yet to supplement and refine the technology. These are the major strength of MicroBitcoin as the most realistic means of payment for the micro-economy bringing it one step closer to becoming the new currency of the future, as well as the technological breakthrough that will bring a great deal of real-world convenience.

Base Technology

  • Emission Adjustment
    Fair Distribution Of Supply

    The MicroBitcoin will be launched a whole new network. This new network will have same balances as previous one, but without transaction history. The coins which is not activated since block of 525,000 will be burned. Also premine will be time-locked with OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY output script.

  • Power2b Algorithm
    CPU-Only Mining

    Mining has to be kept decentralized and open. To achieve this, Power2b in particular is designed to be CPU-friendly, GPU-unfriendly. It's not specialized hardware required.

  • 1 BPM
    More Transaction Confirmations

    Interval between the creation of new blocks is lowered to facilitate near-instant transaction confirmations for micropayments and at lower costs. So you can expect to walk into a pizza shop and pay for your pizza with MBC.

  • Blake2b Indexing
    Secure Hashing

    The blake2 is a cryptographic hash function faster than MD5, SHA-1, SHA-2, and SHA-3, yet is at least as secure as the latest standard SHA-3. BLAKE2 has been adopted by many projects due to its high speed, security, and simplicity.
