A fund for reading
The goal is to build a public fund for children's literacy. As the community grows, the plan is for members to vote on how that fund is used.
About the project
Slithy Tove
I started Slithy to help more kids read. The idea is to take part of the reward from mining and put it into a fund for books and reading programs.
Use the computer you have
You can mine with your computer's CPU. You don't need to buy a specialized mining machine to try Slithy.
Check the fund yourself
Ten percent of the new coins in each block go to the literacy treasury. You can check its balance and transactions on the public chain.
Why the name Slithy Tove?
Slithy Tove comes from the “slithy toves” in Lewis Carroll's poem Jabberwocky. I wanted the name to have a connection to books from the start.
Who runs Slithy
CS Idea Labs LLC publishes Slithy and runs this website and the official nodes. It is not a foundation or a nonprofit.
Slithy is still on a test network. The current wallets and chain will reset before the live launch, including the balances shown in the treasury feed. Test SLTHY has no market value.
The literacy treasury is a project fund. It is intended to pay for books and reading programs, with public records of each payment. This website does not sell coins, solicit investments, or run a fundraising campaign. Nothing here is investment advice or a promise that SLTHY will gain value or be listed on an exchange. The treasury page explains who will control the wallet and how community voting is planned.
