CITU CRYPTOCURRENCY — STATUS. STRENGTH. POWER.

226 crypto-bitcoins in 11 years — if measured in satoshis. Bitcoin is divisible by 100,000,000, while CITU is divisible by only 100. Structurally, it equals just ~226 BTC in granularity. Rarer than all the gold in the world. True digital scarcity.

Why CITU is the choice of the strong:

• Divisible only down to 0.01 CITU. Total supply after 11 years will be 226 million whole coins. In satoshi-equivalent, that’s about 226 bitcoins. Annual increase stays around 0.25% or lower — rarer than gold.
• By comparison, ~205,000 tons of gold have been mined worldwide (205 million kg = 205 billion grams).
• That’s 10× more than CITU. This is real digital scarcity.

• Stated annual inflation is +0.5% (per Friedman’s rule), but actual growth rarely exceeds 0.25%. Each difficulty level adds just 0.0172% emission. No politics, no halving panic.
• Minimum reward is always 3 CITU per block. Mining remains profitable for decades.

• Growth in just a few months: +11,050%, without crashes or collapses.
• From 37M coins in circulation down to just 6M.

• When demand rises — difficulty and emission rise. Each difficulty level doubles hardware needs but only adds ~0.0172% to emission. This protects miner profit and prevents inflation.
• When demand drops — difficulty and emission drop. No deflationary crashes.

YOU are in control:

• How much to invest.
• What difficulty to set (from 17 to 100).
• When to launch and how much power to use.

You are the power. You decide. The market adjusts in real-time.

No more waiting 2016 blocks. No fees. No backroom deals — just you and the market.

Just install the wallet, configure your miner, and get rewards within 2–6 minutes.

The unique CITU mining system is point-based: difficulty, staking, activity, and randomness are factored in. It ensures network security, profitability, and protection from inflation — with zero fees for users.

🚀 STEPS TO LAUNCH:

• 1. Install the wallet
• 2. Open an account
• 3. Set up your wallet account
• 4. Start mining
• 5. Configure for pool mining

1. General Architecture

• Hybrid PoW + PoS. Miners use SHA-256; the block winner is chosen by the total Points score (see section 3).
• Node. Any participant can run a node from the unitedStates_storage repo. The node collects block candidates, recalculates Points about every 100 seconds, and finalises the candidate with the highest score.
• Time rule. block.timestamp must be at least prevBlock.timestamp + 100 seconds and must not be ahead of the node’s local UTC time. Otherwise the block is rejected.
• Fork resolution. When chains compete, nodes follow the branch with the highest total Points.
• No checkpoints are used. Every node validates the entire chain from genesis and rejects non-conforming blocks.

2. Reward Formula and Monetary Policy

Reward = Result × Multiplier, where Result = (3 + Activity + DifficultyBonus) × 1.005^years

• Activity is 0.75 if the new block has more unique senders and greater total volume than the previous block; otherwise 0.
• DifficultyBonus = max((Difficulty − 22) / 4, 0), compensating high difficulty.
• years = (currentBlock − 133 750) / (432 × 360); the accounting year is 360 days, 432 blocks per day.
• Multiplier started at 35 and decreases by 1 every 51 840 blocks (≈120 days).
• At block 398 923 (Multiplier 30) the minimum reward equals 90 CITU.
• The annual +0.5 % increment follows Milton Friedman’s rule and the historical gold-supply growth.
• Dev Fund 10 %. An extra 10 % of each reward is minted to the founder’s address for exchanges, development and marketing.
• Over 11 years, the projected PoW cap of 226 million CITU may be exceeded due to the 60 million premine and Dev Fund allocations. The system has no hard supply limit: the block reward gradually decreases from 90 CITU to just above 3. Emission is algorithmically regulated. Annual inflation, even accounting for difficulty and adjustment factors, typically stays within 0.02% to 1%. In rare cases of severe liquidity shortage, the system can temporarily increase it to a maximum of 2% to stabilize the market.

3. Points Rating (Block Selection)

Points = Complexity + Staking + Transactions + Randomness

• Complexity = chosenDifficulty × 15, where chosenDifficulty ranges from 17 to 100.
• StakingPoints follow a geometric scale: 1.1 CITU → 1 pt, 2.1 → 2 pts, 4.1 → 3 pts, up to 30 pts.
• TransactionPoints use the same scale ×0.1 and never exceed StakingPoints.
• Randomness ranges from 0 to 170 and is derived from the block hash.

The mechanism acts like an automatic central bank: higher demand raises difficulty and supply, while staking removes excess coins during downturns.

4. PoW Validity

• The SHA-256 hash is treated as a 256-bit number; the count of 1-bits is taken.
• targetBits = 100 − chosenDifficulty.
• A block is valid if hashBits ≤ targetBits.

Pool payout: weight = 2^(blockDifficulty − 17); payout = (weight / Σweights) × (blockReward − poolCommission)

7. Economic Problem Addressed by Citu

In classical monetary theory, crypto-assets fall into three common models; each one solves a problem yet creates another.

1. Deflationary coins. A hard supply cap or continuous burning. Great for long-term value storage, but they cause liquidity shortages and high volatility: the price whipsaws, making everyday commerce difficult. Halvings amplify the effect— to stay profitable, mining must see the price double or costs fall by half; when that fails, the post-spike crash often drops below fair value and mining pools go bankrupt.

2. Inflationary coins. A constant, rigid issuance schedule (classic example — Dogecoin: 10 000 DOGE per block). Liquidity is ample in calm markets, but during panics the unchanged emission deepens the fall: supply keeps rising while demand contracts.

3. Stablecoins. Strictly pegged to fiat or another asset. Convenient for payments, yet they inherit fiat-currency risks, centralisation and regulatory exposure.

Citu offers a fourth path — “crypto-gold with a fine-tuned regulator”.

• Difficulty ⇄ demand. Difficulty is an instant market gauge: in coin shortages miners raise difficulty, costs double and the protocol mints extra coins, restoring liquidity; when demand fades, high difficulty is unprofitable, the parameter drops and issuance returns to its minimum.
• Staking points. During sell-offs, participants buy coins to boost their staking score; the excess supply is locked as collateral, easing pressure on the price.
• Activity bonus. Triggers only when both active-address count and transfer volume rise, releasing additional coins precisely when turnover lacks funds. Transactions remain fee-less, stimulating network activity.
• Linear Multiplier. The block reward decreases by 1 every 51 840 blocks (≈120 days) instead of steep “halvings”, so miners avoid shock bankruptcies.
• 3 CITU floor. The reward never falls below this baseline, keeping PoW economically worthwhile decades into the future.

Friedman k-percent rule and its application in Citu

Milton Friedman in “A Monetary History of the United States” and “The Optimum Quantity of Money” formulated the k-percent rule: the central bank should set a constant annual growth rate of the money supply, aligned with the long-term potential of the economy, to avoid inflationary spikes and liquidity shortages.

• A steady growth rate instead of ad-hoc measures: reactive money-supply management “in response to circumstances” creates delays, amplifies economic cycles, and provokes new crises.
• Link to real output: the M rate should match potential GDP growth so that money supply increases in sync with the economy without diluting purchasing power.
• Elimination of the human factor: an automatic rule removes political, bureaucratic, and psychological distortions from committee decisions.

Instead of pegging to GDP, Citu anchors to the historical annual growth of global gold reserves (~0.05%/yr) as a “hard” emission benchmark.

The base block reward of 3 CITU is multiplied annually by 1.005^years (+0.5% per year), creating a smooth, predictable emission curve.

This does not preclude market fluctuations; other Citu mechanisms (Difficulty, Staking, Activity, Multiplier) work in concert to immediately adapt to demand changes and maintain price stability.

Empirical evidence. In the first months after launch, Citu showed a steady upward trend—at times rising by as much as 11 050 %. Corrections were mild and quickly smoothed out thanks to the Difficulty + Staking tandem. Bottom line: the algorithm auto-adjusts to any market shock, preserving liquidity balance and price stability.

In essence Citu functions as an automatic central bank without delay: Difficulty injects liquidity, Staking absorbs surplus, and Activity expands supply only when real economic activity grows. The algorithm reacts every new block (≈100 s), maintaining a stable, predictable upward trajectory without bubbles or trust-shattering crashes.

8. Security and Roadmap

• 51 % attack is mitigated by high energy cost plus DifficultyBonus
• PoS risks are neutralised by PoW; nothing-at-stake is unprofitable
• Slashing is not yet active but planned
• Bridges to Bitcoin/Ethereum and an EVM side-chain are in development
• CITU is listed on Dex-Trade, Bitstorage and Exbitron

9. Legal Status

The Dev Fund’s jurisdiction is not yet settled; the token is utility-based and confers no claim on the founding company

10. Summary

• Citu delivers market-driven emission, zero fees, a transparent 10 % Dev Fund, planned 0.5 % annual inflation and divisibility down to 0.01 CITU

With Multiplier 30 the base reward is 90 CITU; every 51 840 blocks the parameter drops, capping supply and reinforcing scarcity
