Pigeoncoin was launched on March 21, 2018 with an immediate goal to prove the power & hashrate consistency of our new X16S (shuffle) algorithm. The community response to the X16S concept was strong and positive. Within hours, members had created GPU mining software and pools, allowing us to prove our hypothesis a month ahead of schedule. After a sleepless week, we regrouped and set forth to solve the real problems that Pigeoncoin was destined for. Our first step was to recruit a skilled team who would be responsible for completing our mission. Pigeoncoin is a cryptocurrency that will be aligned with a future communications network. This will facilitate messaging, payments, liquidity, and currency velocity.
Sumokoin (スモコイン in Japanese) is a fork from Monero, one of the most respectable cryptocurrency well-known for security, privacy, untraceability and active development. Starting as an educational project, we found that it would be great to create a new coin with high level of privacy by (1) moving forward right away to Ring Confidential Transactions (RingCT), (2) setting minimum transaction mixins to 12 that would make it high resistance to blockchain analysis attacks.
