Coin Hours are generated passively for holding Skycoins in your wallet. For a refresher on how this works, <a href="https://medium.com/skycoin/skycoin-coin-hours-f537fa7ae614" title="Coin Hours article">read this article about Coin Hours</a>.</p> <h4 id="how-will-the-coin-hour-bank-work">How will the Coin Hour Bank work?</h4> <p>Version 1 of the Coin Hour Bank allows you to ‘deposit’ your Coin Hours by sending them from your desktop or mobile wallet to a new address in your Coin Hour Bank account. From there, you can send them to another user without cost. You can also view your balance, see your transaction history and initiate out-of-Bank withdrawals. This is an important milestone in the development of the Skycoin parallel currency.</p>https://blog.theskywirenetwork.net/posts/build-a-diy-skycoin-miner/Mon, 24 Sep 2018 00:00:00 +0000https://blog.theskywirenetwork.net/posts/build-a-diy-skycoin-miner/<h2 id="to-be-part-of-skywire-you-can-build-your-own-skyminer-all-you-need-are-some-skills-and-the-following-items">To be part of Skywire you can build your own Skyminer.

That means no huge Internet bills and no unfair business practices. A self-sufficient network, 100% owned and operated by its users.</p> <p>Skywire uses peer-to-peer blockchain technology to create a decentralized mesh network that’s fast, private, and secure.</p> <p>With our incentivized mesh network, users can earn coins for running nodes and providing bandwidth. They can spend coins to use bandwidth e.g. consuming media or other network resources and services.</p>https://blog.theskywirenetwork.net/posts/the-five-pillars-of-the-skycoin-cryptocurrency/Thu, 08 Feb 2018 00:00:00 +0000https://blog.theskywirenetwork.net/posts/the-five-pillars-of-the-skycoin-cryptocurrency/<p>The 5 Pillars of Skycoin</p> <h2 id="1-skycoin"><strong>1.

Skywire can operate independently from Skycoin. It’s not the first attempt at a global mesh network, but it will be the first to succeed. There have been several attempts at building similar networks, but none have flourished because they have only been run by volunteers. By integrating Skycoin with Skywire, individuals are incentivized to participate by earning money for running the internet, instead of a large ISPs. This is the only sustainable path for democratizing the internet infrastructure.</p>https://blog.theskywirenetwork.net/posts/skycoin-cryptocurrency-values/Sat, 03 Feb 2018 00:00:00 +0000https://blog.theskywirenetwork.net/posts/skycoin-cryptocurrency-values/<h2 id="heres-what-we-stand-for">Here&rsquo;s what we stand for&hellip;</h2> <ul> <li>Popularization of decentralization by fixing problems that Bitcoin can’t.</li> <li>Our Core Features are: Speed, Privacy, Security and Ecosystem.</li> <li>Security (51% attack proof).</li> <li>Decentralization – No miners holding the network hostage, no inflation.</li> <li>Privacy – Skywire brings truly anonymous Social networks, VPNs and messaging apps.</li> <li>Building a new internet free from government and corporate control.</li> </ul>https://blog.theskywirenetwork.net/posts/why-do-we-need-a-free-internet/Sat, 03 Feb 2018 00:00:00 +0000https://blog.theskywirenetwork.net/posts/why-do-we-need-a-free-internet/<h2 id="why-are-we-building-a-free-internet">Why are we building a free internet?</h2> <p><strong><em>It’s a long list so we’ll give you our top 3.</em></strong></p> <h3 id="1-freedom">1.)
