Monacoin (MONA) Calculator

MonaCoin, Japan’s first homegrown cryptocurrency, launched in December 2013 from the playful ASCII cat “Mona” of 2chan fame and grew from internet folklore into a practical payment network, blending meme culture with deliberate engineering: it is open-source, derived from Litecoin, and uses the Lyra2REv2 proof-of-work algorithm to deter ASIC dominance and keep mining more accessible to individuals, while its quick block time of about 1.5 minutes and low fees support everyday transactions and tipping; the protocol caps supply at 105,120,000 MONA and halves the block reward every 1,051,000 blocks, creating a predictable issuance curve that guides miner economics over the long run, and it employs the Dark Gravity Wave v3 difficulty algorithm to readjust with each block and stabilize block production; MonaCoin was among the earliest networks to activate Segregated Witness in 2017 and later integrated the Lightning Network, enabling near-instant micropayments that suit its lively community, which maintains wallets, payment plugins, and explorers and has fostered real-world acceptance at online merchants and select physical retailers in tech-centric districts; after a 51 percent attack in 2018 prompted exchanges and users to tighten confirmations and monitoring, the ecosystem strengthened operational practices without losing its exuberant culture of tips, fan art, and grassroots meetups; taken together-fast blocks, SegWit capacity, Lightning channels, ASIC-resistant design, dynamic difficulty, and a capped supply-MonaCoin stands as a modest but enduring Japanese original, a network where rhythm and code, humor and habit, meet to turn a local legend into a working, peer-to-peer way to pay.
