Slithy Tove Test network

Slithy Tove

Mining that helps
kids read.

Slithy is a proof-of-work coin with a reading fund built into the block reward. When you mine a block, most of the reward goes to you. Ten percent goes to a public literacy treasury.

Slithy is in test-network beta. These wallets mine on the test chain. Test SLTHY has no market value, and the wallets and chain will be reset before the live network launches.

Literacy treasury

You should be able to check the reading fund yourself.

Every block includes a treasury output. I want the accounting to stay boring in the best way: what came in, what is spendable, what went out, and what reading work it paid for.

The feed on this site is for the current test chain. It will reset before the live network starts.

The idea

A coin with a real job.

Slithy has a narrow purpose. You can mine it, use it, and watch a visible fund grow for children's reading. That is the point I want the project to keep coming back to.

01

Blocks fund books

Ten percent of each block subsidy goes to the literacy treasury.

02

Keep mining approachable

The Windows app lets someone open a wallet and mine on their own computer without learning command-line tools first.

03

Show the work

The treasury balance and outgoing grants should be easy to check from the public site.

Main mission

Let the network pay for reading.

Our mission is to bring the magic of reading to more kids in the world. To do this, we are taking the engine of cryptocurrency mining and using it to drive a public fund that our community will vote on.

Current status

Testers can help now.

The Windows app can create wallets, mine locally, connect to official test nodes, and update itself. Linux testers can use the menu tool and packages. Thank you for helping test and develop Slithy before the live network starts.

That is the standard I want reviewers to hold us to: working software, public records, and a reading fund people can check for themselves.
