Mint Coin
The currency built into every node (a placeholder name for now): 32,768 mints of 10¹⁴ units in 1,024 pools, SHA-512/256, post-quantum keys and no issuer. Its rules are fixed inside its series id for good.
Proof of Ownership
Ownership held by work, not by votes or block rewards.
Mint Net (a working name) is a payment network where each mint, a fixed block of units with its own history, carries the work that proves who owns it. A node keeps the heaviest valid ledger of every pool it follows, and payments settle as work builds up behind them. There is no block interval: an entry can be made whenever there are transactions to put in it.
Weight decides
Transactions are bundled into entries, and work is added on top as layers. A node selects the ledger with the most total work, and a rival must out-weigh everything built since the point where it split off.

Mint claims and the weight behind them, balances and recent transactions, as a node run by the project sees them.
What a node does
- Follows only the pools and mints its owner chooses, so the network scales by following, not by every node holding everything.
- Checks every entry and every layer itself, from peers and from imports alike. Nothing is taken on trust.
- Finds peers, ranks them by what they actually do, and catches up with a heavier ledger from any depth.
- Includes a wallet: keys from one sealed seed, a fresh address per payment, shared k-of-n custody.
- Comes as
poo, a headless node and command line, andpoo-gui, the same commands with a visual layer.
Status
Pre-release. The first planned release is v0.1.0-alpha.1. The node has been reviewed by the project itself but not yet by anyone outside it.
Do not use it with anything of value.
