SOST launches from code, not from capital. The community forms around SOST itself — miners, developers, and gold holders who believe in sovereign proof-of-work with constitutional reserves.
Source code, issues, pull requests, releases. The canonical home of the SOST codebase. All development happens in public.
github.com/Neob1844/sost-core ANNOUNCEMENTOfficial announcement thread. Mining guides, development updates, and community discussion. The traditional home for PoW cryptocurrency launches.
BTCTalk ANN thread COMMUNITYJoin the official SOST community channel. News, mining support, PoPC updates, and direct access to the development team.
t.me/SOSTProtocolOfficial COMMUNITYCommunity discussion board for peer-to-peer offers between SOST users. Not an exchange. Not an escrow. SOST does not intermediate or custody funds. Users trade at their own risk. Admins never DM first.
sostcore.com/sost-talk.html (OTC room) LIVE DATAReal-time chain data — block height, difficulty, hashrate, supply, Gold Reserve tracker, PoPC Pool, address lookup, and transaction history.
sostcore.com/sost-explorer.htmlCPU-friendly, memory-hard ConvergenceX mining. 8 GB RAM required (4 GB dataset + 4 GB scratchpad, shared by all mining threads). The reference miner is CPU-oriented; SOST does not enforce CPU-only at consensus level. Build from source and start mining with sost-miner. (Historical: blocks mined before #25,000 allocated 25% to the Gold Reserve automatically; since V15 that share is 0 and the per-block split is 50% miner / 50% DTD.)
Validate the chain independently. Every full node strengthens the network by relaying blocks and transactions, maintaining the UTXO set, and enforcing consensus rules.
C++17 codebase, MIT licensed. Open issues, submit pull requests, review code, write tests. All development is public on GitHub.
PoPC was redesigned to a single native-SOST bond and is now paused / legacy, superseded by DTD / DTD Jackpot (zero emission since V15, #25,000). The earlier Model A / Model B gold-custody design is historical; there is no active custody program to join today.

| GitHub Issues | github.com/Neob1844/sost-core/issues |
| Principle | Detail |
|---|---|
| Permissionless | Anyone can mine, run a node, or transact without permission |
| Open source | MIT license — use, modify, distribute freely |
| No ongoing parameter governance | Monetary rules immutable at genesis — no DAO, no voting |
| CPU-friendly | ConvergenceX resists ASIC and GPU concentration |
| Constitutional reserves | None since V15 (#25,000): 50% miner / 50% DTD. HISTORICAL (blocks 0–24,999): 25% Gold Funding Vault + 25% PoPC Pool — balances now frozen, they fund the DTD Jackpot |
| Fair launch | No premine, no ICO, no VC allocation, no insider tokens |
| Misconception | Reality |
|---|---|
| Not an investment product | SOST is a consensus. No returns are promised or guaranteed. |
| Not a gold peg | The reserve is an observable metric, not a redemption right. |
| Not a broker or custodian | SOST does not trade, custody, or manage user assets. |
| Not governed by voting | Consensus rules are immutable. No governance token exists. |
| Not a staking protocol | PoPC proves custody of external gold — not circular token locking. |
