Карбованець - Karbo - Ukrainian Karbowanec

The karbovanets (Ukrainian: карбованець, karbovanets, plural: карбованці, karbovantsi), has been a distinct unit of currency in Ukraine during three separate periods in its history. I decided to resurrect it back to life as digital cryptocurrency seeing rise of multiple national cryptocurrencies. I believe it has its right to exist and potential. There is a lot of crypto enthusiasts in Ukraine scattered on different forums and I hope some of them will support this project. I think there is demand in Ukraine for decentralized services which corrupted and ineffective government can't control, and I hope Karbowanec will find its niche in Ukraine.

The etymology of the name "karbovanets" is by one supposition originated in Ukraine from the ancient primitive way to carve numbers of calculations on a rod. The name even has same stem as english 'carve' thus we carve coins not mine them Wink

Why Cryptonote? Because Cryptonote technology provides fungibility and privacy - most important features of money, it has robust tested tech, verified cryptography and it is easy to start Wink

Binaries will be available in one hour. To allow people prepare.

Symbol: Ҝ - Ka with vertical stroke, it is a letter of the Cyrillic script. Its form is derived from the Cyrillic letter Ka (К к) by the addition of a stroke through the short horizontal bar in the centre of the letter.

0% Pre-mine
Mining algorithm: POW, CryptoNight
Max supply: 10 million KRB

We hope low transaction fee only 0.0001 KRB will encourage usage and micropayments, especially when value of Karbovanec will grow, blockchain bloat shoudn't be a problem since we have increased block time to 4 minutes.

Solo mining

How to solo mine with the CLI release

Download CLI release from
Extract the release to any folder or directory
Run the daemon, karbowanecd. Then start simplewallet and open or create a wallet. You can open it later in GUI.
In simplewallet, type "start_mining x", x being the number of CPU cores you wish to mine with.
Check your hash rate by typing "show_hr" in karbowanecd. Hide it by typing "hide_hr".

Alternatively you can run the daemon, karbowanecd with these flags: --start-mining YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS --mining-threads 3 - much more easy

Pool mining
http://pool.karbowanec.com/
Democats pool

Miners and config examples are at Pool Getting started page. They are the same as with any other Cryptonote coin. Except Claymore's miners.
You can use Minergate GUI miner - just add custom pool in "Other Pools" tab.

Pool mining is working
Pool is up and running in API mode as block explorer. I will open pool for mining later. Let's begin with solo mining.
