Release 4.0

Hello Duino miners!

Woah, it's the biggest update we've had this year probably. Most importantly you can now use the universal ESP code and benefit from the new reward system (when using the newest version). The PC and AVR Miners have also been updated to fix some of the bugs and provide more user friendly experience. Please note that I'll probably be still adjusting the earnings in the upcoming days, but I don't plan on making any major changes. Only the Arduino code didn't receive any changes, so you don't have to reflash your boards this time. And last but not least, happy new year! 🎉 🎆

This is a major release - you should update. Nodes may stop accepting old miner versions in a few weeks.

    • Separate settings file (Settings.h) for easy configuration
    • New Duino IoT options (DS18B20 and internal temp sensor for new ESP32s)
    • Dashboard should not interfere with mining anymore

Release 3.9

Hello miners!

As you can see, this is the last update before we drop a major 4.0 release. This is also the last release with separate ESP8266 and ESP32 codes that require you to install old library versions.
Theoretically could've just skipped this one, but there have been quite a few changes (eg. fixing compilation errors on Linux systems) that had to be adressed.

This is not a mandatory update, but staying up-to-date is always suggested.

Release 3.3

Three years of Duino-Coin (part 1?)

Hello miners, this August is a bit special - three years ago first versions of Duino-Coin were born. I never anticipated such a big success of my side project, but I'm very happy how things turned (and are turning) out. The Duino team is amazing, just like the community that gathered around the coin. There are thousands of devices mining DUCO, there are articles about us on various websites and magazines, and the best thing is that really enjoy developing and expanding my project 😍

I'd like to thank everyone for beliving in us, I hope next three years will be even more dynamic than the previous ones and we will expand even further 💯

Later this month we will be organizing some giveaways, events and other cool stuff as a celebration 😎 🥳
