Born on April 02, 2024 at 14:18:26 GMT, TekCoin is an experimental digital currency of the Bitcoin family, which enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. It uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. TekCoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.

TekCoin has a maximum circulating supply of 84,000,000 TKC, which is four times larger than Bitcoin's maximum circulating supply of 21,000,000 BTC. It uses the Scrypt algorithm, just like the already popular Bitcoin family members: Litecoin and Dogecoin, thus making it compatible with the already existing cyptocurrency platform (developer code, mining software, mining pools, wallets, trading platforms) and mining hardware (CPU, GPU, ASIC).

For more information, as well as an immediately useable, binary version of the TekCoin Core software, see https://git.cryptogera.com/cryptogera/tekcoin/releases.

TCP Ports

TekCoin Core by default uses port 16279 for peer-to-peer communication that is needed to synchronize the "mainnet" blockchain and stay informed of new transactions and blocks. Additionally, a JSONRPC port can be opened, which defaults to port 16280 for mainnet nodes. It is strongly recommended to not expose RPC ports to the public internet.

Function	mainnet	testnet	regtest
