FlowCoin is a young project. No foundation, no marketing department, no paid community managers — just people who believe CPU mining deserves a Bitcoin-grade chain underneath it.

Contributing
The project welcomes patches, reviews, documentation edits, and translations. If you are new to the codebase:
1. Read the spec
Start with the protocol doc and the architecture overview before touching consensus code.
2. Run the tests
./build/flowcoin_tests — 55 groups covering crypto, consensus, P2P, wallet. Keep them green.
3. Open a PR
Small, focused, with a rationale. Consensus-breaking changes need a discussion thread first.
Principles
- No premine, no ICO, no treasury. Every coin is mined from genesis on. No developer allocation. No "foundation" that owns 10% of supply.
- Consensus is forever. Breaking consensus changes require overwhelming justification. The default answer is "don't".
- Bitcoin-compatible where possible. Reusing Bitcoin's tooling, wire formats, and economic model reduces the attack surface and accelerates adoption.
- CPU mining is a feature, not a phase. If an ASIC ever ships, we change the seed / parameters to break it. Mining accessibility is non-negotiable.
- Code over rhetoric. Promises don't secure the chain — running nodes and tested code do.
