One network, every timezone
Laptops, desktops and servers all over the world mine the same round. Every 60 seconds it closes and its FERROX is split between the miners who found shares in it.
CLI v0.1.0 on npm
Mine from your terminal
Real SHA-256 proof-of-work on any CPU. Every minute the network releases a fixed amount of FERROX and splits it between that minute's miners by the work they proved.

npm install -g ferrox

Proof-of-work for every machine,

your CPU, now a miner.
Ferrox is a coin you mine from the command line. No GPU, no pool, no config files: install the CLI, approve it from your browser, and every core starts hashing in seconds.
It runs on worker threads with a live dashboard in your terminal, or headless on any VPS. Your API key stays on your machine.
The engine
Everything a miner needs,
Everything a miner needs,
in a 12 kB package
One command, every core
ferrox mine spins up a worker thread per core. Pick fewer with -t if you still want to use the machine.
Your key stays home
Sign in with your wallet, approve the terminal in your browser. The API key lives only on your machine, and it can mine but never withdraw.
Shares, not luck
Each share is a nonce where sha256(challenge + nonce) starts with enough zero bits. The server checks it with one hash and credits 2difficulty of work.
Difficulty that fits your CPU
The server re-targets after every share, so any machine finds about one share every 20 seconds.

Fixed emission, fair split
Every round releases the same amount no matter how many miners show up. More machines or bots can't print more FERROX; they only compete for the same slice.
Built for CPUs
Zero dependencies, Node.js 18+. Runs on Windows, macOS, Linux and any VPS, with or without a screen.
