EqualishCoin (EQLS)

Fair... give or take.

EqualishCoin is a self-aware hybrid Proof-of-Work + Proof-of-Stake chain forked from Peercoin. It is intentionally meme-aware but technically serious:

• Not a scam
• Not a pump-and-dump narrative
• Not pretending to be perfect or revolutionary
• Built to be understandable, runnable, and maintainable

The protocol identity target is roughly 50/50 between mining and staking in spirit. In practice, participation is expected to be "equal-ish" instead of mathematically exact.

What this repo contains

• Full node daemon: equalishcoind
• CLI client: equalishcoin-cli
• Wallet tool: equalishcoin-wallet
• Hybrid PoW/PoS consensus inherited from Peercoin with conservative fork changes

Build (Unix)

./autogen.sh
./configure
make -j"$(nproc)"

Main binaries are produced under src/.

Run a node

./src/equalishcoind -daemon
./src/equalishcoin-cli getblockchaininfo

Default data dir:

• Linux: ~/.equalishcoin
• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/EqualishCoin
• Windows: %APPDATA%\EqualishCoin

Minimal regtest workflow

./src/equalishcoind -regtest -daemon -fallbackfee=0.001
./src/equalishcoin-cli -regtest createwallet dev
ADDR=$(./src/equalishcoin-cli -regtest getnewaddress)
./src/equalishcoin-cli -regtest generatetoaddress 5 "$ADDR"
./src/equalishcoin-cli -regtest getbalance

Mining and staking notes

• CPU mining fallback is available via RPC mining calls (generatetoaddress) and -generate CLI behavior where supported.
• Staking is inherited from Peercoin wallet minting behavior.
• Use a local config (see share/examples/equalishcoin.conf) and ensure wallet is unlocked for minting in controlled environments.

Philosophy

EqualishCoin is "consensus, but approximate": practical engineering first, honest tone second, hype last.
