RandomX PoW
Miners produce blocks, secure ordering, and keep QWC permissionless.
Qwertycoin is back.
QWC Mainnet. Privacy-focused. RandomX-powered. Built around decentralized Proof of Service (EPoSe).
Mainnet live now. Wallet, source, and ecosystem releases follow in controlled stages.
EPoSe v2
Registered Service Nodes prove useful network service and enter consensus-enforced reward rotation.
About Qwertycoin
QWC mainnet combines RandomX mining with EPoSe service rewards.
Qwertycoin is a new mainnet chain derived from the Monero v0.18.5.1 codebase, with QWC parameters, HF17-era privacy technology, RandomX proof of work, and EPoSe from genesis.
MAINNET LIVE
QWC Core Network
The current QWC chain is mainnet. Active operators, miners, and Service Nodes are hardening the live network.
Monero 0.18.5.1
Modern privacy base
QWC starts from Monero v0.18.5.1 with HF17-era privacy technology and QWC-specific parameters from genesis.
PoW
RandomX proof of work
RandomX miners produce blocks, secure ordering, and keep chain security separate from service-node reward eligibility.
EPoSe v2
Proof of Service rewards
Registered Service Nodes prove useful network service through deterministic attestations before they can enter reward rotation.
No PoS
Service Nodes are not validators
Service Nodes do not lock stake, produce blocks, or vote on chain history. RandomX proof of work remains responsible for consensus ordering.
Rollout
Wallet and source follow
The website is the first public mainnet component. Web wallet beta, public source release, and broader tooling follow in staged releases.
EPoSe v2
RandomX PoW secures the blockchain. EPoSe rewards decentralized network service.
No central Sentinel decides which Service Nodes receive rewards. Chain state and EPoSe rules determine qualification, payee selection, and reward validity.
Service activity
Registered Service Nodes provide useful QWC network service during each epoch.
Attestations
Deterministically assigned verifier committees check service activity and create signed attestations.
Reward rotation
Qualification is finalized before deterministic payee selection can affect service rewards.
EPoSe origin
Thank you, Xecute ❤️
The original EPoSe vision and Qwertycoin service-layer whitepaper work came from Xecute, a historical honorary member of the Qwertycoin project. QWC finally carries that plan forward as a decentralized chain-state implementation.
No central Sentinel decides rewards.Explorer and Sentinel-style tooling can observe and monitor, but consensus derives EPoSe state from the chain. Current mainnet reward split: 90% miner / 10% EPoSe service reward.
Service Nodes
Run infrastructure. Prove service. Earn QWC.
A normal node validates, syncs, and relays. A Service Node adds a registered identity, public service commitment, proof/attestation flow, qualification, and reward eligibility.
| Normal node | Service Node |
|---|---|
| Synchronizes the blockchain, validates blocks, relays transactions, and contributes peer capacity. | Does everything a normal node does, plus registers a service identity and participates in the EPoSe service-reward protocol. |
| No reward path beyond mining if the operator also mines blocks. | Can become qualified for deterministic service rewards after registration and attestations. |
| No stake or validator-council role. | Also not a proof-of-stake validator. RandomX miners still produce blocks. |

Service Node
Also not a proof-of-stake validator. RandomX miners still produce blocks.
Mining
RandomX, not CryptoNight.
Old CryptoNight and old mining pool instructions are legacy material. QWC uses RandomX proof of work with a 120 second block target.
Permissionless PoW
Mining is open to anyone who can run compatible RandomX mining software against a QWC node or pool. Active pool documentation will be linked only after it is verified for v2.
No validator council
QWC is not proof of stake. Service Nodes receive service rewards only through the EPoSe layer; they do not replace proof-of-work block production.
Releases
Qwertycoin Releases
Mainnet release communication is staged: website first, web wallet beta next, public QWC source after that, then broader wallet and ecosystem tooling.
BETA
Web Wallet
The browser wallet beta is the active wallet path for the current QWC mainnet. Early beta - use with care.
PLANNED
Desktop GUI
Desktop wallets remain planned and should ship only after the v2 transaction path is hardened.
COMING NEXT
Public QWC Source
QWC source publication follows the website and wallet rollout. The public legacy repository is not linked as the v2 core build path.
Release policyOld QWC downloads are not compatible with Qwertycoin. This page will expose signed binaries only after current mainnet builds, checksums, and release notes are ready.

EPoSe FAQ
Short answers for new operators.
Does EPoSe replace mining?
No. RandomX miners still produce blocks and secure the chain. EPoSe adds a service-reward layer for registered infrastructure.
What is an epoch?
An epoch is a fixed block period used by EPoSe to measure and finalize service activity. The current QWC parameter is 720 blocks, roughly 24 hours.
What does qualified mean?
Qualified means a registered Service Node has enough valid attestations in the relevant epoch to become reward-eligible.
Who decides whether a Service Node is qualified?
No central server. Qualification is derived deterministically from QWC chain state and valid EPoSe registration and attestation data.
Do Service Nodes need to stake QWC?
No QWC staking role is defined in the current EPoSe core. Service Nodes register a service identity and admission proof; they are not proof-of-stake validators.
Can one operator run multiple Service Nodes?
The protocol can represent multiple Service Node identities. Admission proof makes cheap identity creation harder, but it is not a promise that one human equals one node.
Why is EPoSe not Proof of Stake?
Service Nodes do not lock stake, produce blocks, or vote on chain history. RandomX proof of work remains responsible for block production and ordering.

History
2018 roots. 2026 QWC Mainnet.
The legacy Qwertycoin ecosystem matters, but it must not be confused with Qwertycoin.
2018Original QWC community chain
2026QWC Mainnet with RandomX + EPoSe
2018
Qwertycoin launches
QWC began as a CryptoNote-based community privacy coin with early wallet, explorer, community, and infrastructure efforts.
2019-2020+
EPoW and EPoSe experiments
The project explored fair mining, service rewards, wallets, nodes, infrastructure, and voting concepts. Xecute's EPoSe work remains part of that origin story.
Later
Stagnation and token phase
The legacy chain and ecosystem diverged from what QWC needs today. Exchange, price, wallet, and old source claims from that era are not reused as current facts.
2026
Qwertycoin Mainnet
Qwertycoin returns as a new mainnet chain with RandomX, modern privacy technology, QWC HF17 rules, and EPoSe v2.
Qwertycoin is a new mainnet chain. Old chain data, wallet cache files, peer state, and old release binaries are not compatible with this network.
Developers
Prepare for the public source rollout.
Public QWC source publication follows the website and wallet rollout. Until then, legacy public repositories are not the QWC core build path.
QWC source code
Public release in preparation. The release will include source access, reproducible build notes, developer documentation, and operator guidance.
Legacy Qwertycoin source
Older public repositories may remain available for history, but they must not be treated as the current QWC core source.
EPoSe operator tooling
Service-node registration, attestation, qualification, and reward tooling will be documented with the public QWC source release.
Community
Open source, careful by default.
Only active and controlled resources are linked from this mainnet website. Legacy docs and old wallet/download/exchange links remain excluded until they are updated or clearly archived.
