Coin Specs and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) will be provided below.

2. The Goal

Energi’s goal is to introduce and bring cryptocurrency to the masses. Energi intends to do this by first creating a strong foundation — having 40% of the total 1 million Energi released per month going towards the treasury system, which is 4x more than any other cryptocurrency currently (Dash, PIVX, and virtually every other cryptocurrency, most of which tend to only have a maximum 10% allocation to treasury).

This treasury is decentralized, and masternodes vote where to direct these funds. This allows Energi to pay developers and contributors, and as Energi grows, the treasury budget will grow allowing for more collaboration, leading to more growth, etc, a positive feedback loop. Additionally, Energi has a higher inflation rate as it encourages spending and reinvestment. Energi will seek to utilize all of its treasury budget month-to-month, especially after the first few months as it gets established and identify the highest value activities and the best contributors who are yielding the maximum return in value added to the system, compared to value spent. Energi will identify and encourage activities which bring the absolute greatest value back in return for what Energi spends. Energi’s philosophy is, every dollar reinvested into the system, will yield much more than a dollar of value back when invested appropriately with developers, the best marketing efforts, and other expenditures which expand our reach.

3. Energi Coin Specs

Ticker: NRG

Block time: 1 minute.

Hashing Algorithm: Dagger-Hashimoto (similar to Ethereum).

Masternode requirements: 10,000 Energi.

Treasury cycle: Every 14 days.

Approximately 1 million Energi will be released per month. The allocations can be observed easily as “10/10/40/40.”

10% will go to the Energi Backbone.

10% to the Miners (which will eventually transition to Proof of Stake).

40% to Masternodes.

40% to the Treasury.

Thus, for every block, allocations are: 2.28 Energi to the Backbone, 2.28 Energi to the Miners, 9.14 Energi to the Treasury, and 9.14 Energi to Masternodes.

Since Treasury allocations are paid in two-week cycles, they are made in lump sums of approximately 184,000 Energi every 14 days.

In order to allow for widespread distribution of Energi before Masternode payments begin, Masternode rewards will be delayed until day 150, this is to allow the airdrop campaign to be completed and ensure a large amount of Energi is spread out through the community. Until this point, Masternode rewards will be re-directed to the Treasury. Thus for the first 5 months, the Treasury will have approximately 368,000 Energi every two weeks (about 800k Energi per month). The airdrop campaign is designed to release ~4 million Energi to the community.

4. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is there a limit on the number of coins?

No, putting a cap on the number of coins would mean the inevitable end of Treasury emission and Masternode rewards, which are pivotal to the survival and growth of the network. Energi sees no reason to put such a “death sentence” on Energi. It also doesn’t want to dwindle down too heavily in inflation over time, as the inflation is the engine that fuels Energi’s funding, if anything it may consider increasing inflation in the future if needed to accelerate Energi’s growth (as Energi sees that every dollar spent in Energi, if spent well, can yield more than a dollar in added value back, thus a positive feedback loop, and something beneficial).

Was/Is there an ICO?

No, see Energi Backbone section below.

What is the Energi Backbone?

The Backbone consists of TommyWorldPower (the creator of Energi), and anyone he choses to share with privately. it’s his reward for the ~year he spent designing and creating Energi, and gives him power to direct the network, as it is often overlooked how important leadership is in cryptocurrency. This allocation gives Tommy a strong say over the governance of the network- not an overwhelming say, but strong enough to guide the network. It’s important to be aware that every cryptocurrency and cryptoasset is centralized to a degree, usually around their core team. This is fine as long as the community has a say and ability to veto if needed (which will be accomplished in Energi with the generous airdrop campaign Tommy designed to distribute Energi over the coming months). More importantly, the inevitable centralization in cryptocurrencies is fine as long as the leaders are good leaders, have good vision, and have strong ethics. Tommy seeks to lead from a place of love and compassion, over time Energi will attract people in alignment with these values (and these are the people who will stay long term).

For perspective, Tommy passed on doing an ICO, in which he otherwise would have sought to raise ~$20M (and pocketed many of those millions himself), as well keeping a minimum 10–20% stake upfront for himself. Instead, he passed on doing an ICO (which is quite rare in the space these days), and opted instead for a modest 10% on-going stake, which is similar to a 3 or 5-year distribution that some ICO’s are doing, but rather than 3 or 5 years, the incentive to the lead the network is spread out over its lifetime, and thus is only rewarded gradually over time. This is a very effective and innovative model in that it incentivizes Tommy to ensure the prosperity of Energi, not only for the short or medium term, but throughout its lifetime.
