What is Franko?
Written by Seiko Chan
Franko is an amazing new digital currency based on cryptography. Franko coins can instantly be sent anywhere in the world over the internet for little to no cost. One Franko is denominated as 1 FRK.
Where do new Franko come from?
Franko releases new currency units into the economy at a predictable rate of 720FRK per day until the network has produced 11,235,813 FRK. New Frankos are created in a process referred to as “mining,” which involves Franko users running software that tries to calculate a complex mathematical solution that increases in difficulty based on the amount of other users trying to caclulate the same solution. One can compare it to finding a needle in a haystack. Whoever finds the needle first, earns 0.25 Frankos, anonounces the find to everyone else and then the process starts all over again. The goal is to find that needle every 30 seconds, so the more people searching for the needle the bigger the haystack becomes. Finding the Franko solution involves an incredible amount of computer processing power, and so users often collectively work together in “pools” in order to find the solution and earn Frankos on a more regular basis.
Where can you get Franko?
There are only two ways to get Franko. The first way to get Franko is by enabling your computer to confirm transactions for the network (“mining”). Confirming transaction blocks often involves an incredible amount of processing power, so users often mine together in “franko pools” in order to process transactions faster and earn Franko on a more regular basis. The second way to get Franko is simply to buy them from someone who already has them. You can earn your first Franko by following the Getting Started guide sponsored by BriefCaseIT:
