Novo Bitcoin: the renaissance of programmable money

It enables 100% L1 Smart Contract by adopting an improved version of the original bitcoin txid called RichTXID. RichTXID holds every piece of key information of a transaction in the txid without changing its representation.

Novo Bitcoin uses an altered mining algorithm called Tagged SHA256 and starts freshly from block 0. It favors 150 seconds of confirmation time and scales as it should be.

Features

- Programmable money with 100% L1 Smart Contract support
- Symbol: NOVO
- Total supply: 840000000000
- Block time: 150 seconds
- PoW only, all coins are mined
- PoW Algorithm: Altered SHA256, currently CPU/GPU friendly
