Slithy Tove Test network

Slithy Tove

Mining that helps
kids read.

Use your computer's CPU to mine Slithy. Ten percent of each new block reward goes to a public fund for children's literacy. The test fund's balance is shown below.

Beta testing is open. Try the wallet and miner, and let me know what needs work. Test SLTHY has no market value and won't carry over to the live network.

Literacy treasury

See the reading fund.

This is the test fund, so its coins will reset before launch. For the live fund, the plan is to publish each payment with a record of the reading project it paid for.

The mission

Bring the magic of reading to more kids.

I want Slithy's share of mining rewards to help pay for books and reading programs. Community voting on the fund's spending is planned for later. The voting rules and software still need to be built.

Try Slithy

Test the wallet and miner.

The wallet and miner are available for Windows and Linux. If something gets stuck or doesn't make sense, send a report. Thank you for helping test and develop Slithy.

Block rewards No premine

The network targets one block every two minutes. The starting reward is 10 SLTHY.

The split 90% miner / 10% literacy

Of that starting reward, 9 SLTHY goes to the miner and 1 to the fund. The miner also receives transaction fees.

On your computer CPU mining

You do the mining on your own computer. The official servers check and relay blocks.
