Soqucoin SOQ
Post-quantum Scrypt PoW L1 — every signature is lattice-based ML-DSA-44 (NIST FIPS 204) from genesis, no ECDSA path exists. AuxPoW from Block 0 lets Litecoin/Dogecoin rigs mine SOQ merged on hash they already sell.
About Soqucoin
sources: official materials · verified 2026-10-13Soqucoin is a full-stack post-quantum Proof-of-Work Layer 1 built on a Bitcoin/Dogecoin Core architecture with its own genesis block. Every signature is lattice-based ML-DSA-44 (NIST FIPS 204, 2,420 bytes) integrated directly into consensus — the network was architected without a legacy ECDSA path, so there is nothing to migrate. Scrypt AuxPoW is active from Block 0: Litecoin and Dogecoin miners secure SOQ concurrently on existing rigs with zero extra power. The protocol ships PAT (Practical Aggregation Technique) for Dilithium batch verification and optional Bulletproofs++ confidential amounts; a LatticeFold+ verifier was designed but deprecated before activation, with SoquObscura privacy as its research successor. Wallets use Argon2id key derivation with AES-256 Encrypt-then-MAC and deterministic HD recovery, on bech32m witness-v1 Dilithium addresses (sq1q…). Fully audited by Halborn before mainnet (30 findings, 100% resolved). The genesis ceremony (2026-09-02) anchored the chain with a dated anti-premine headline, and block 1 carried the public SOQMIG1 pSOQ burn migration. Phase 2 adds USDSOQ stablecoin mechanics, covenants, instant eLTOO Layer-2 payments and SoquObscura.

miner: any Scrypt miner (L7-class ASIC or scrypt GPU)- 1
# 1. Apply for a mining account at soqupool.com — Bronze starter tier is PAUSED; verified applications only
↳ Four steps: apply (machine count, business name if >20 rigs) → identity verification via the pool's partner (one identity, one account) → operator approval → mine. Privileged tiers need two-admin sign-off. Source: soqupool.com live 2026-10-15.

# 2. Configure payout wallets BEFORE mining — payout address changes freeze for 48h
↳ Min payouts: 0.01 LTC · 10 DOGE · 100,000 SOQ. Payouts run 6×/day (00/04/08/12/16/20 UTC), PPLNS. New accounts mature 7 days (Bronze–Gold) / 14 days (Platinum/Genesis) before first payout.
- 3
# 3. Point the rig at the closest region and enter all three for failover:
↳ Americas: stratum+tcp://us.soqupool.com:3333 · Europe/Africa: eu.soqupool.com:3333 · Asia/Oceania: asia.soqupool.com:3333 (Hillsboro / Nuremberg / Singapore)
- 4
# 4. Worker format: minername.rigname (e.g. myminer.L7_01) — password: x
↳ The rig keeps mining LTC/DOGE as the primary chain; SOQ arrives merged on the same work. Pool fee 1.69% flat (founding accounts registered before mainnet keep 1.50% for life via a 0.19% rebate enforced in payout code).
Pitfalls we hit
- Uncapped supply with ~110M SOQ/day emission in the current era (1,104 blocks/24h × 100k) — dilution is the dominant variable; first halving to 50k at block 250,000 (~Apr 2027).
- Payout frictions: 100,000 SOQ minimum payout, 48-hour freeze on payout-address changes, 7–14 day account maturation before first payout.

Day-2 reality: 569.2M total = 244M mined + 325.2M SOQMIG1 pSOQ burn-migration at block 1 (69 addresses after one OFAC-withheld 3.4M output).

- Rides existing Scrypt infrastructure: any Scrypt ASIC capable of LTC/DOGE works (official compatibility table, docs v2.0 2026-01-02 — see benchmarks). CPU/GPU mining is technically possible but economically nonviable against ASIC hashrate.
- All mining rewards pay to Dilithium addresses only (sq1q… bech32m witness-v1) — traditional ECDSA addresses are not supported.
- Launch-phase network protection: mining opens via SOQUPOOL only (application-based, verified accounts, Bronze paused); a public non-vetted pool is on the roadmap once emissions and markets stabilize.
- Pool infrastructure: fork guard (nodes cross-check chain tips, divergence halts work), share auth per account, PQ-signed SOQ payouts (2,420-byte ML-DSA-44), dual-control admin provisioning, on-chain payout confirmation watch. Public JSON API at api.soqupool.com.

Block-1 allocation = SOQMIG1 pSOQ→SOQ burn migration (public, consensus-enforced): Solana pSOQ holders voluntarily burned tokens with a memo in the 29 Sep–5 Oct 2026 window; the final list (70 addresses, 328,627,412.935 SOQ, hash 4db916bf…) was published 5 Oct — one 3.4M-SOQ address was withheld in the final sanctions screen, so 325,227,412 SOQ across 69 addresses landed in block 1's coinbase ≈ 57% of the day-2 supply. Fully specified in the repo (contrib/genesis-migration/SPEC.md) and on the Foundation site; NOT mentioned in the ANN, and the tokenomics docs' "every coin is mined" claim reads misleadingly against it. Concentrated early float either way. Sources: soqucoin.org/migration + on-chain coinbase probes, 2026-10-15.
Launch pump-and-crash: $0.948 high → $0.00121 (−89%/24h at 2026-10-15 capture) on ~$43.8k/day volume — thin liquidity against a 569M float.
Launch centralization: mining runs through SOQUPOOL only, operated by Soqucoin Labs; Bronze no-KYC tier paused, verified applications only — operator outage/policy hits 100% of hashrate until the public pool ships.
Uncapped supply with ~110M SOQ/day emission in the current era (1,104 blocks/24h × 100k) — dilution is the dominant variable; first halving to 50k at block 250,000 (~Apr 2027).
Payout frictions: 100,000 SOQ minimum payout, 48-hour freeze on payout-address changes, 7–14 day account maturation before first payout.
