SOST launches from code, not from capital. The community forms around the protocol itself — miners, developers, and gold holders who believe in sovereign proof-of-work with constitutional reserves.
Source code, issues, pull requests, releases. The canonical home of the SOST Protocol codebase. All development happens in public.
github.com/Neob1844/sost-core ANNOUNCEMENTOfficial announcement thread. Mining guides, development updates, and community discussion. The traditional home for PoW cryptocurrency launches.
BTCTalk ANN thread COMMUNITYJoin the official SOST Protocol community channel. News, mining support, PoPC updates, and direct access to the development team.
t.me/sostprotocol COMMUNITYCommunity discussion board for peer-to-peer offers between SOST users. Not an exchange. Not an escrow. SOST Protocol does not intermediate or custody funds. Users trade at their own risk. Admins never DM first.
sostcore.com/sost-talk.html (OTC room) LIVE DATAReal-time chain data — block height, difficulty, hashrate, supply, Gold Reserve tracker, PoPC Pool, address lookup, and transaction history.
sostcore.com/sost-explorer.htmlCPU-friendly, memory-hard ConvergenceX mining. 8 GB RAM required per thread (4 GB dataset + 4 GB scratchpad). The reference miner is CPU-oriented; the protocol does not enforce CPU-only at consensus level. Build from source and start mining with sost-miner. Every block you mine allocates 25% to the Gold Reserve automatically.
Validate the chain independently. Every full node strengthens the network by relaying blocks and transactions, maintaining the UTXO set, and enforcing consensus rules.
C++17 codebase, MIT licensed. Open issues, submit pull requests, review code, write tests. All development is public on GitHub.
When PoPC activates (target: April 2027), prove custody of XAUT/PAXG and earn rewards from the PoPC Pool. Model A (self-custody bonds) or Model B (timelocked escrow).

| Principle | Detail |
|---|---|
| Permissionless | Anyone can mine, run a node, or transact without permission |
| Open source | MIT license — use, modify, distribute freely |
| No ongoing parameter governance | Monetary rules immutable at genesis — no DAO, no voting |
| CPU-friendly | ConvergenceX resists ASIC and GPU concentration |
| Constitutional reserves | 25% Gold Funding Vault + 25% PoPC Pool — hardcoded, immutable |
| Fair launch | No premine, no ICO, no VC allocation, no insider tokens |
| Misconception | Reality |
|---|---|
| Not an investment product | SOST is a protocol. No returns are promised or guaranteed. |
| Not a gold peg | The reserve is an observable metric, not a redemption right. |
| Not a broker or custodian | SOST does not trade, custody, or manage user assets. |
| Not governed by voting | Consensus rules are immutable. No governance token exists. |
| Not a staking protocol | PoPC proves custody of external gold — not circular token locking. |
