Decentralized. Secure. Argon2id.
Dpowcoin Core is an open-source cryptocurrency implementing the Argon2id proof-of-work algorithm — ASIC-resistant, memory-hard, and built for fair mining.
Argon2id Algorithm
Memory-hard proof-of-work resistant to ASIC mining. Fair distribution through CPU accessibility.
Open Source
Fully open-source under the MIT license. Auditable, forkable, community-driven development on GitHub.
Reproducible Builds
Deterministic builds via GNU Guix. Every binary is independently verifiable. GPG-signed release attestations.
Coin Specification
Full technical parameters of the Dpowcoin (DPC) network
Block hash: salt = SHA-512(SHA-512(header)); h1 = Argon2id(header, salt, m=4MB, t=2, p=2); PoW = Argon2id(header, salt=h1, m=32MB, t=2, p=2). Two chained Argon2id passes, salted by a double SHA-512 digest of the header — memory-hard and ASIC-resistant by design.

Network Upgrade
Yespower is being dropped from consensus at block 225,000 — Dpowcoin becomes Argon2id-only going forward.
Before block 225,000, Dpowcoin validated every header with two independent proof-of-work checks sharing one target: hash = { Yespower(header), Argon2id(header) }, valid ⇔ both hashes ≤ target(nBits). Yespower was checked first as a cheap filter; Argon2id was only computed if Yespower passed.
Because both algorithms shared the same target, Yespower added no real security beyond what Argon2id already provides, while doubling the work LWMA has to account for and complicating the codebase for no measurable benefit to the network. Since the two checks are independent, dropping Yespower does not change difficulty adjustment or chain weight — both are fully algorithm-agnostic. The Dual PoW idea was worth trying, but this implementation created more problems than it solved. The “Dual PoW” name is kept for historical reasons only.
No action is required. Because Yespower and Argon2id always shared the same target, mining software built on Argon2id continues to work unchanged before and after block 225,000. Light SPV wallets can rely on Argon2id alone for verification, since SHA-512 and Argon2id libraries are available on virtually every platform.
We do not use “delayed PoW” technology and are not affiliated with Komodo or its projects. Before block 225,000, Dpowcoin used a Dual PoW consisting of Yespower and Argon2id, where Argon2id itself is computed as two chained rounds salted with double SHA-512.
