What I mean is, Target Difficulty is currently 1. Same exact difficulty Bitcoin began with in 2009. CPUs can absolutely find valid blocks currently, I bootstrapped the network with a 2GHz Celeron. But I also didn’t prevent ASICs from being able to mine, because I couldn’t allow myself to make that kind of change to Satoshi’s original vision and still claim that it was identical to Bitcoin, just started over from a new Block #0 at Target Difficulty 1.

If you still want to give it a shot, I highly encourage it, as block rewards are currently 50 BC2. BitcoinII follows the exact same subsidy halving formula as Bitcoin.

If you’re willing to spin up a node and give it a shot, I would appreciate it. If you’re unable to find a Block within 24 hours, generate a BC2 address and let me know what it is and I’ll send you 50 BC2 for your time and effort.
