Mimblewimble: no addresses and no amounts stored on chainPrivacy

Why miners and holders like it

Almost half the schedule is RandomX: a desktop CPU is in the draw for 48% of the work, with no ASIC to buy and no GPU farm to outbid — this is one of the few coins where the machine you already own is competitive gear.

Three hardware classes secure the chain at once. Taking it over means holding 51% of CPUs, GPUs and ASICs together, which is why a rig the size of a bookcase still matters on this network.

Rewards arrive without a history: Mimblewimble keeps addresses and amounts off the chain, so nothing about the coins you earned can be pointed at later and called tainted.

You can actually cash out — CoinGecko lists two live books, EPIC/USDT and EPIC/XMR on NonKYC, turning over roughly $75k a day against a $9.6M cap.

Nothing was handed out: the chain started in September 2019 with zero supply and no ICO, premine or venture round, so every coin in existence had to be mined first, including yours.

EPIC phase two: the pool starts paying

The transfer path went live this morning: every hour the pool sends any balance past 0.1 EPIC at the usual 1% fee, once a block's coinbase has cleared 1440 confirmations — about a day behind the block itself. A dry run ran first with nothing to send, so the first real txid should surface in the Payments tab as soon as the first block matures.

EPIC stratum opens on pool.ion.cool

Port 33339 went live with a tested miner table behind it: the official epic-miner CPU and OpenCL builds both submit accepted shares, XMRig-Epic drops the connection because it waits for a reshaped job, and SRBMiner ships no Epic algorithm at all. Payouts are still phase one — shares, blocks and balances count in real time while the transfer path is finished.

Node v4.0.4, three pull requests of housekeeping

The September tag modernised the Windows CI workflows after the runner image moved, repaired a stale badge URL and bumped the version to 4.0.4, with two binaries attached. The notes list no protocol changes — a maintenance release, which is what a node operator wants to see.

Every coin was mined, not allocated

Mining began in September 2019 from zero supply: no premine, no ICO, no venture slice, no admin key. Seven years on, roughly 19.28M of the 21M cap exist and every one of them passed through somebody's hardware.

Four wallets and a daily bootstrap

Epic Pay keeps the keys on iOS or Android, the GUI wallet bundles a node for macOS, Windows and Linux, the CLI wallet covers servers, and a daily bootstrap file gets a fresh node synced without replaying the whole history.
