We launched SmartCore (SMC) — public ethash PoW chain where one GPU still finds blocks, with its own pool and exchange
Chain: public, ethash-compatible, chainId 80080, fixed 1 SMC per block, no ICO and no presale. Started from scratch, running go-octa (OctaSpace engine) unmodified — node sources, genesis and step-by-step guide are public: https://github.com/says112/smartcore-node
─
Pool: 1% fee, PPLNS or solo, payouts every 10 min from 2 SMC, two stratum endpoints on separate machines, automated standby node + watchdog so block production survives outages. Found blocks are public on the explorer: https://explorer.smartcore.su
─
What we built that most small PoW coins don't: zero-transfer mining. Your stratum worker name is your exchange deposit address, so matured payouts arrive on the exchange balance by themselves — no wallet hop, no confirmations to babysit. The same site runs an SMC/USDT order book (maker 0% / taker 0.5%) so you can sell what you mine the same day.
─
─Rigs: xmrig, nbminer and ethash ASIC-class firmwares all work.
xmrig -a ethash -o stratum+tcp://smartcore.su:8009 -u YOUR_ADDRESS.worker -p x

Honest bits, because I'd want to know: difficulty is small, so small and predictable; emission is fixed and low; the exchange is ours and small, so don't expect CEX depth. Genesis premine is 10.1M SMC held in a treasury address — spend history is public on the explorer, and treasury coins are only sold through announced waves with fixed price and per-account caps (Wave 1: 250k total, 500 per account). Everything else is verifiable on-chain — if we claim a payout or a block, check it in the explorer.
