Green technology
Skynet-Blockchain is built on top of fork of chia™, the currently greenest blockchain technology in the world
100% Opensource
All skynet-blockchain source code is public and shared with the entire global community in the world

The application software is the center of the skynet-blockchain infrastructure.
Through the application you can farm, sign, send and receive XNT in a few moments through the entire blockchain network.
F.A.Q.
info_and_frequently_asked_questionsProof of Space and Time (POST) algorithm
We can define it as the successor to the old method (POW) used to secure the previous blockchains like bitcoin.
In the Consensus Protocol, skynet-blockchain is using the new evolution of Nakamoto consensus algorithm called Proof of Space and Time.
Skynet-blockchain new innovative Nakamoto consensus algorithm greatly reduces energy consumption demands of Proof of Work from the live blockchain infrastructure, making it as energy efficient as possible.
Skynet-blockchain users will "seed" unused space on their hard disk drive (HDDs) or solid-state drivess (SSD) by installing software that stores a collection of cryptographic numbers inside tables on the disk in the form of ".plot" files with a minimum size of 101.3 GiB and these users are referred to as "farmers."
When the blockchain broadcasts the next block's challenge, farmers can scan their ".plot" files to see if they have the hash that is closest to the challenge.
The probability of a farmer winning a block is determined by the percentage of total space that a farmer has in comparison to the entire network.
The use of the Proof of Space and Time algorithm allows skynet-blockchain to secure all its blocks no longer with the use of expensive mining resources such as dedicated video cards or asic, but with only space of your HDDs or SSD.
In short, less CO2 production and optimization of computational resources.
Another substantial difference is the amount of our strategic reserve 5.0M vs 21.0M of chia™ and a higher payment of solved blocks, 5 vs 2 with the addition "jolly" blocks reward X2,X5,X10 and other 99999 "jolly" blocks every year that will forever reward 5 XNT.
Last but not least, the timelord will receive a reward of 0.1% of fee for each block processed.
skynet-blockchaiN installation info
To install skynet-blockchain, follow these install instructions below according to your operating system.
This software only supports 64 bit operating systems.
All configuration data is stored in a directory structure at the $SKYNET_ROOT environment variable or at ~/.skynet/mainnet/ and you can find databases, and logs there.
If you are using the MacOS or Windows builds, your keys are created during the first run.
We recommend saving the mnemonic.
You can start plotting a plot file using the Plot tab or the command line.
To be competitive on mainnet you will probably have to have a few k=32 or larger plots but a k=32 plot currently takes about 10 hours to plot on an M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD and requires 232 GiB of temporary working space to create a final plot file of 101.3 GiB.
If you want more peers and better network connectivity, you should also try opening port 9999 on your router so other peers can connect to you. This helps the network be more decentralized.
