Proof-of-Work Mining

INFINITY's mining isn't just different. It's revolutionary. The team has created the fastest mining reduction ever deployed, distributing 99% of tokens in just one year while remaining accessible to anyone with a computer.

Why INFINITY's Mining Matters

In a world dominated by energy-wasteful Bitcoin mining and exclusive staking systems, INFINITY brings proof-of-work back to its roots: fair, accessible, and efficient.

Fair Distribution

• No pre-mine: Every token is earned through participation
• CPU & GPU friendly: No specialized ASICs required
• Global access: Mine from anywhere with any hardware
• Instant rewards: Get $8 tokens immediately after successful mining

The Fastest Reduction Schedule

Record-Breaking Timeline

Traditional Bitcoin mining distributes tokens over 100+ years. INFINITY does it in 12 months:

• Reduction Rate: -12.84% every 672,500 valid submissions
• Frequency: Approximately every 10-14 days initially
• Year 1 Distribution: 99% of all mining rewards
• Result: Extreme scarcity creation in record time

Why This Creates Value

As mining rewards decrease rapidly:

• Early miners get the highest rewards
• Mining becomes less profitable, creating natural transition to buying
• Supply shock leads to price appreciation from reduced sell pressure
• Deflationary transition makes token increasingly scarce

Technical Innovation

Custom Algorithm: secp256k1 Address Search

Unlike Bitcoin's wasteful SHA-256 loops, INFINITY uses an elegant address search:

1. Miners receive scalar privateKeyA
2. Find privateKeyB such that: address(pubKey(privateKeyA) + pubKey(privateKeyB)) XOR MAGIC_NUMBER ≤ difficulty
3. Prove ownership by ECDSA-signing (recipient‖data) with A + B

Benefits:

• Energy efficient: No wasteful hashing loops
• Mathematically elegant: Pure cryptographic puzzle
• Hardware accessible: Works on any CPU or GPU

Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment

• Retarget Frequency: Every 100 submissions
• Target Window: 200 blocks for smooth adjustment
• Max Change: 8x per step to prevent shock
• Goal: Maintain consistent block times as hashrate changes

Getting Started with Mining

System Requirements

• CPU: Any modern processor (Intel, AMD, ARM)
• GPU: Optional but recommended for higher hashrates
• RAM: 4GB minimum, 8GB recommended
• Network: Stable internet connection to Sonic RPC

Mining Software

• Official Miner: GitHub Repository
• Platforms: Windows, macOS, Linux
• Type: Command-line interface with detailed logging
• Updates: Regular optimizations and bug fixes

Current Status

• Solo Mining: Available now
• Mining Pools: In active development
• Estimated Launch: Coming soon for pool mining

Mining Economics

Reward Structure

Initial Reward: High (first year)
Reduction: -12.84% every 672,500 submissions
Final State: Minimal rewards, maximum scarcity

Profitability Factors

• Hardware hashrate: Higher hashrate = more chances to win
• Electricity cost: Efficient algorithm keeps costs low
• Market price: Higher $8 price = better mining profitability
• Difficulty: Automatically adjusts based on network hashrate

Mining vs. Buying Decision

INFINITY's economic model creates a natural price floor at mining cost:

• When market price > mining cost, mine for profit
• When market price < mining cost, buy tokens instead
• Automatic buybacks activate when price drops below mining cost

Mining Pools (Coming Soon)

• Lower variance: More consistent rewards
• Easier setup: Less technical knowledge required
• Fair distribution: Proportional to contributed hashrate
• Community building: Mine together, succeed together

The Future of Mining

As INFINITY approaches 99% distribution in Year 1:

• Mining rewards approach zero
• Network security transitions to economic incentives
• Token scarcity reaches maximum
• Value accrual shifts to FeeM and deflation

This isn't just mining. It's participating in the creation of the most fairly distributed proof-of-work token ever created.
