Mine LOS.
Any CPU. No ASIC.
SHA3-256 has minimal GPU/ASIC advantage over standard CPUs. A $200 laptop mines as efficiently per-watt as a data center. This was a deliberate design choice for fair distribution.

ALGORITHM
Address-Bound Proof-of-Work
SHA3-256( "LOS_MINE_V1" "cmt">// Domain separator || chain_id "cmt">// Prevents cross-network replay (1 = mainnet) || address "cmt">// Cryptographically bound to YOUR address || epoch "cmt">// Valid for THIS hour only || nonce "cmt">// The value being iterated)Address-bound
Proofs cannot be stolen or transferred to another address. Mining pools are impossible by design.
Epoch-bound
Each proof is only valid for the current hour. No stockpiling of proofs.
1 reward/address/epoch
Running 5 nodes with the same address = same reward as 1 node. Sybil-neutral.
COMPARISON
LOS vs Bitcoin
| Property | Bitcoin (BTC) | LOS (Unauthority) |
|---|---|---|
| Algorithm | SHA-256 (double hash) | SHA3-256 (single hash) |
| Hardware | ASIC-dominated | CPU-only (no ASIC advantage) |
| Entry Cost | $2,000–$15,000+ ASIC | $0 — any CPU |
| Block Time | ~10 minutes | 1 hour (epoch-based) |
| Halving | Every ~4 years | Every ~1 year (8,760 epochs) |
| Total Supply | 21,000,000 BTC | 21,936,236 LOS |
| Public Pool | ~100% (all mined) | 96.45% (21,158,413 LOS) |
| Mining Pools | Required (solo impract.) | Impossible (address-bound) |
| Finality | ~60 min (6 confirms) | ~2–3 seconds (aBFT) |
| Quantum Resistant | None (ECDSA) | Dilithium5 (Post-Quantum) |
| Consensus | Nakamoto PoW | aBFT + PoW mint (separate) |
