THE PROBLEM

Cryptocurrency lost its way

Bitcoin was designed as peer-to-peer electronic cash. Today, it requires $10,000 ASICs, 60-minute confirmations, and $50 transaction fees.

The ecosystem became about exchange listings and meme coins. Not about replacing cash. Not about peer-to-peer transactions. Not about Satoshi's vision.

PROOF OF IDLE POWER

Real mining on your phone

ARM-Optimized Algorithm

TapCoin uses a mobile-first proof-of-work algorithm specifically designed for ARM processors. Unlike Bitcoin's SHA-256 or Ethereum's memory-hard algorithms, PoIP is optimized for the thermal and power constraints of mobile devices.

Technical Specifications

• Memory footprint: 50-200MB (vs Monero's 2GB+)
• CPU utilization: 5-10% of idle cycles
• GPU acceleration: Optional, ARM Mali/Adreno optimized
• ASIC resistance: Impossible to manufacture specialized hardware

Intelligent Mining Triggers

ACTIVE MINING

✓ Device charging

✓ Screen off

✓ Battery > 20%

✓ Temperature < 40°C

REDUCED MINING

• Background mode (2-3% CPU)

• WiFi only (saves cellular data)

• Thermal throttling active

MINING PAUSED

✗ Battery < 20%

✗ Temperature > 42°C

✗ Low power mode enabled

Earn It

Sell goods or services for TapCoin. Accept payments directly from customers via tap-to-pay.

THE VISION

Returning to Satoshi's original vision

Peer-to-peer electronic cash. Not exchange-traded assets. Not speculative tokens. Real money that mines on your phone and transfers with a tap. This is what cryptocurrency was meant to be.
