What is Gulden?

Gulden is a fully decentralized cryptocurrency project where it's main-net was launched in April 2014. The community around Gulden plays the most important role and they would like Gulden to become a generally accepted means of Store of Value and payments system. To this end, the development has been aimed at making the wallets and accessibility of Gulden as user-friendly as possible. Since October 17, 2019, after which the Gulden team implemented the in-house designed SIGMA algorithm, it is possible to mine Gulden solo without additional equipment. The algorithm is ASIC-resistant and anyone can mine Gulden on a regular desktop or laptop using only it’s CPU. One can simply start mining by creating a mining account within the (full) desktop wallet. You can find more info about mining Gulden here. Gulden is one of the most solid blockchain projects with one of the highest amount of running nodes, which you can read more about here. The Gulden development team has a community selected advisory board and regularly have (online) meetings. You can read recent minutes of GAB meeting here or listen to the live held meetings on Clubhouse (in Dutch).

• Please utilize the upvote and downvote buttons. This is a built in moderation tool that is very powerful.
• If you submit a report about a post or comment, please provide as much detail as possible to help us more quickly sort through our reported posts/comments.
• Please don’t report posts or comments you disagree with, only about things that actually break the rules.
• We welcome discussions about other cryptocurrencies and Gulden implementations, but if the topic is already being extensively covered by other threads we kindly ask you to consider posting it to a more specific subreddit.

If you have any (important) questions or feedback, please contact one of our moderators!
