The same hardware. A quantum-safe chain.
SOQ uses Scrypt proof-of-work, the same algorithm as Litecoin and Dogecoin. Your Antminer L11, L9, L7, or any Scrypt ASIC works with zero configuration changes. Merge-mine SOQ alongside LTC and DOGE at no additional cost.
- Algorithm
- Scrypt (same as Litecoin, Dogecoin)
- Block time
- 60 seconds
- Block reward
- 100,000 SOQ at launch, halving every 250,000 blocks (~174 days) to a 2,500 SOQ perpetual tail
- Daily emission
- ~144 million SOQ at launch (100,000 SOQ/block × 1,440 blocks/day)
- Merge mining
- ● AuxPoW. Mine SOQ alongside LTC/DOGE at zero extra cost
- Consensus
- Post-quantum signatures (ML-DSA-44, FIPS 204) on all transactions
Soqucoin's proof-of-work is deliberately conventional: Scrypt, 60-second blocks, and the same AuxPoW merge-mining that bootstrapped Dogecoin in 2014. The quantum-safe innovation is in the transaction layer, not the mining algorithm. Every spend carries an ML-DSA-44 (Dilithium) signature. Your existing hardware works unchanged.
SOQUPOOL — Hillsboro, ORlive
US West production node. Stratum on port 3333/3334. PPLNS payout, 1.69% fee, 24-hour payout interval.

Any machine that mines Litecoin or Dogecoin mines SOQ. Point it at a SOQUPOOL stratum URL and set your SOQ wallet address as the worker name. Block rewards start at 100,000 SOQ and halve four times over roughly the first two years, settling into a small 2,500 SOQ perpetual tail.
Soqucoin supports Auxiliary Proof-of-Work (AuxPoW), the same mechanism Dogecoin uses to merge-mine with Litecoin. Any pool mining LTC or DOGE can simultaneously mine SOQ at zero additional cost. No extra electricity, no extra hardware, no performance impact.
Dogecoin was bootstrapped this way in 2014, and is now a $25B+ network. SOQ inherits the security of the entire LTC/DOGE mining ecosystem from day one.
Pool operators: Adding AuxPoW support is straightforward if your pool already supports LTC merge mining. Contact labs@soqu.org for integration guidance.
