CryptoNote reference implementation
CryptoNoteCoin is the official reference coin launched for educational purposes only. It is the showcase of CryptoNote functionality and user experience. To derange all possible attempts of commercial launch CryptoNoteCoin has virtually no commercial value due to its inherently short emission curve and the genesis block being re-created every two months. We strongly recommend all users to abstain from buying or selling CryptoNoteCoin on exchanges or applying it to any purposes other than purely educational. If you wish to start your own CryptoNote currency, use our CryptoNote Starter forking guide.
