Create Blue Star Blockchain
Budget: $10,000 – $20,000 USD
1. Core Design Goals
CPU-only mining (ASIC/GPU resistant)
Low entry barrier (runs on consumer hardware)
Fair distribution (anti-bot & anti-farm measures)
Energy-efficient
Scalable for thousands of small miners
2. Consensus Mechanism
PoW (Proof of Work) – CPU Optimized
Recommended algorithms:
RandomX (Monero-style)
Memory-hard
JIT execution
Highly resistant to ASICs & GPUs
Alternatives:
Yescrypt
Argon2id
VerusHash
RandomX is the industry standard for CPU mining.
3. Block Parameters
Parameter
Specification
Block time
60–120 seconds
Block size
Dynamic (0.5–2 MB)
Max TPS
~30–100
Difficulty adjustment
Every block
Finality
Probabilistic
4. Mining Requirements (User Side)
Minimum CPU Specs
CPU: Dual-core x86_64 or ARMv8
RAM: 2 GB minimum (4 GB recommended)
Storage: 10–20 GB SSD
OS: Linux, Windows, macOS
Optimal Mining Specs
CPU: 4–8 cores (Ryzen / Intel i5+)
RAM: 8–16 GB
Hashrate range: 500 H/s – 10 KH/s (depending on CPU)
5. Network Architecture
P2P networking (Libp2p or custom TCP)
Full Nodes: Anyone can run
Light Nodes: Mobile-friendly wallets
RPC / REST API for pools & apps
6. Reward Model
Emission
Block reward: Fixed + tail emission
Example:
Initial reward: 5 coins/block
Halving every 2 years
Tail emission: 0.5 coin/block forever
Distribution
95% → miners
5% → development / DAO treasury
7. Anti-Abuse Protections
Memory-hard PoW (RandomX)
Frequent algorithm parameter changes
Optional:
Node-based mining (miner must run full node)
Soft hashrate caps per IP
Proof-of-Uptime bonuses
8. Smart Contract Support (Optional)
WASM-based VM (like Substrate)
Gas limits tuned for CPU fairness
No GPU-optimized contract execution
9. Wallet & Mining Software
Wallets
CLI Wallet
Desktop GUI (Electron / Qt)
Mobile Wallet (Light client)
Mining
Built-in CPU miner
Stratum mining pool support
Solo mining friendly
10. Token Economics
Max supply: Optional (or infinite with tail emission)
Inflation target: 1–2% annually after maturity
No premine or fair-launch only
11. Example Use Cases
Home CPU mining income
VPS mining
Decentralized compute economy
Privacy-friendly payments
Community-driven blockchain
12. Comparable Projects (Proof of Viability)
Monero (XMR) – RandomX
VerusCoin (VRSC)
Dero
Scala (XLA)
