"Cultivating connections, growing prosperity, blooming together."
Lotus is a digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. It uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Lotus combines the best qualities of the modern monetary system and the new generation of digital cryptocurrencies, resulting in an ethical currency that is economically viable.
- 💯 Debt-free: Issued through Proof-of-Work mining
- 📈 Inflationary: No arbitrary issuance cap, removing incentives to hoard
- 🌊 Abundant: Issuance of new Lotus is adjusted to demand of the Lotusia economy
- 📊 Stabilizing: Lotus can be removed from circulation through voluntary destructive use to stabilize volatility
Reciprocity is the core of all human relationships. The Lotus currency facilitates and symbolizes the value we see in each other, allowing us to build a more connected and prosperous society.
Lotus is a fork of Bitcoin ABC that has been enhanced and modified to support the Lotusia vision. The blockchain is highly scalable, permissionless, and designed to adapt to the growing needs of the ecosystem.
Lotus uses Proof-of-Work for issuance. You can participate in securing the network and earn newly minted Lotus through mining.
For optimal mining performance, we provide a dedicated GPU miner that utilizes OpenCL to efficiently mine Lotus blocks on your graphics card. Our GPU miner supports both solo mining and pool mining configurations.
- 🚀 OpenCL-based for high-performance mining
- 🔄 Compatible with both AMD and NVIDIA GPUs
- 🏊♂️ Supports both solo and pool mining
- ⚙️ Easy configuration through command line or config file
For detailed instructions on setting up and using the GPU miner, see the GPU Mining Documentation.
