SiMoney by Sicash Limited a.k.a sicash.org

Our fiirst coin, SiMoney, is not for grumpy people.

It is the first step on a journey, that may only last one step :-) and we might as well be happy on that journey.

It is leaning into humor. We seem to think that's funny!

To those crazy people who want to change the world for the better, and think they can, sicash.org wants to help you.

We will all take it one step, one block, one coin, one project at a time. Get involved, use the coin!

This first step, SiMoney, is dedicated to 'the crazy people'!’

Pedigree Some may say the code has a pedigree, SiMoney’s code is (loosely) based on open-source code released on October 7, 2011 by Charlie Lee, a Google employee who later became Engineering Director at Coinbase. The code Charlie released has been working on a live network for over 10 years. Examples of coins based on this code include the lovable DOGE and of course, Litecoin. SiMoney does use proven (old) code which is not only faster, but arguably better for the environment than some other coins, including Bitcoin.

Better for the environment So why is SiMoney arguably (and optionally) better for the environment than some other coins? SiMoney rewards behavour that is better for the enviroment. Some other coins depend solely on a process in which coin miners burn electricity competing with each other in an attempt to be first to create a new block in the blockchain. Only the one miner who gets there first, wins the reward of the new coin. This means a lot of energy is wasted as electricity generated (currently mainly by fossil fuel power stations) is burned by those many miners who lose the block creation race and achieve nothing (its like life). This wasteful model is called ‘proof of work’ (POW). Of course, a whole industry has grown around this wasteful behaviour, and many have invested heavily in infrastructure to support it (its like life). Proof of stake (POS) is an alternative method, where people get a turn at mining coins rather than all competing against each other (hooray?).

SiMoney encourages miners not to abuse the environment (quite so much) by giving them more rewards (currently valueless coin) for POS than POW. Lets all make life a little fairer for ourselfs. We can all admire JFKs speach about the moon shot. However, we are not doing this because "It is hard", we are doing it because it is easy, and it should be done. Using SiMoney is easy, and we should all be doing it, it is a quick win/win for everyone. Its low hanging fruit.

Go to the website to see the ‘BUTTON THAT WILL NEVER WORK’ and press it if you agree with the pledge In both the ‘BUTTON THAT WILL NEVER WORK’ and in every SiMoney coin there is a seed of hope, a sincere wish of a blessing to whomever uses it. By pressing ‘BUTTON THAT WILL NEVER WORK’ you agree to do no evil with SiMoney. Many will say that, it will never work, but that is dependant on you. People had no guarantee early crypto currencies like Bitcoin would be adopted, and we all know they are in a real sense worthless. They will “never work”, or produce anything. However, people believed in them.

We only ask that you believe in yourself.
