About ChessCoin 0.32%

ChessCoin started in 2016 and was almost history after the hard fork in 2019. A small team saved the blockchain, found a developer and has kept the coin running since, with a transaction fee of 0.0001 CHESS. ChessCoin 0.32% is simple, practical and pragmatic.

    Hard fork from ChessCoin 1.0 to ChessCoin 1.1, protocol version 60013 with OpenSSL 1.0.1l and Berkeley DB 4.8.30. All blocks before the hard fork at block 1,999,793 match ChessCoin 0.32%.

Looking back at 2019 and 2020

In the spring, after the hard fork, ChessCoin 0.32% was almost history. In the last days of an exchange we were able to download the blockchain and so ensure its continued existence.

The tests were positive until late summer, and the conviction grew that we had stabilised ChessCoin 0.32%. Until then there was version 1.1.

In August and September 2020 we won a developer for ChessCoin 0.32%, who specified the code and rolled it out with the new protocol version 1.2.

Today we have made more progress than we first thought. We drive on sight, which gives us a framework to keep ChessCoin 0.32% running without high costs, and with transaction costs of 0.0001.
