Riecoin Home Page

Riecoin is a currency based on Bitcoin, and follows in its footsteps into becoming a world currency. The Project supports and concretizes the idea that the gigantic mining resources can also serve scientific research, thus power a world currency of greater value for the society.
Learn more about the Project in the Riecoin Whitepaper.

Wallet

Receive and spend RIC with Riecoin Core, a very reliable wallet.

The link provides binaries for Windows and Linux and a basic setup guide. We will be glad to help you in our discussion channels if you encounter any issue, but please make sure first to have properly followed the instructions and made some reasonable investigation on your side.

Mining

Earn Riecoins by doing actual number crunching and supporting the idea of useful mining instead of burning resources for meaningless hashes and contributing to Crypto's bad reputation of wasting energy. Riecoin miners are currently looking for prime constellations, and you can learn more about the subject here.

rieMiner

You can mine RIC with rieMiner. The software allowed the Riecoin Project to beat numerous number theory world records, and you can take part of the competition as well!
The link is a download page for Windows and Linux that also provides instructions for Pooled and Solo Mining.

Unique to Riecoin, we are running the Constellation Explorer which allows you to browse Prime Constellations and compete with other Miners. Every point in the plot below represents a Prime Constellation that was found by mining.

Pools

Interested in supporting Riecoin by running a RIC Mining Pool? Use our reference Pool software StellaPool as a starting point and make sure that you have the resources to maintain the Pool for the long term and that you always keep Riecoin Core up to date. If you cannot satisfy these, then we would rather you to not open a Riecoin Pool.

Mine on a compatible Pool and claim extra RIC on our Faucet, without Captcha! It is a demonstration of how PoW can be used to replace the increasingly difficult and annoying Captchas.

Trading

Get some more RIC by buying them on trading platforms that have listed Riecoin.

If you are new to Crypto, it may be complicated to actually buy some RIC as you need to already own cryptocurrencies to trade them for RIC on the current platforms. Some banking services like Revolut may offer the purchase of cryptocurrencies with usual fiat money and withdrawal to an external Address (necessary), so you can buy for example some BTC, USDT or ETH, and then send them to an exchange above and buy RIC with these funds. We need your support to increase the interest in Riecoin and make it much easier to acquire some RIC!

Disclaimer: generally, you will no longer be in control of funds deposited there until you withdraw them, there is no insurance, so only deposit on third party services amounts that can be afforded to lose in case something goes wrong with the platforms. We will work on our own solutions in the foreseeable future.

Explorers and Trackers

We provide a basic Blockchain Explorer for Riecoin, including one for Testnet.

CryptoID provides a more developed one.

Riecoin is tracked on CoinGecko, CoinPaprika and CoinCodex.
