Feeling lucky? You should! Luckycoin, created in 2013 and revived in 2024, is:
We've bridged an 11-year gap, mining block 81744 in 2024 directly after block 81743 from 2013.
Created in May 2013, Luckycoin predates Dogecoin, the Mt. Gox collapse, 'HODL', Tether, and Ethereum.
Dogecoin's creators spent a couple of hours turning Luckycoin into what would eventually become Dogecoin
Luckycoin was the 22nd coin to ever be listed on CoinMarketCap
In 2024, we continued the original chain. Block 81744 was mined, following block 81743 from 2013, preserving the genesis block.
Just like Satoshi Nakamoto did with Bitcoin, the creator of Luckycoin embedded the financial headline of the day in the genesis block
By continuing the original chain, we've maintained an unbroken link to crypto history, including the original genesis block.
A: Luckycoin offers no utility and was instead described by original creator LuckyC as 'Fast, Fun & Fair' with a playful introduction on the Bitcoin Talk forums.

A: Luckycoin's total supply will be roughly 19.4 million coins, depending on the amount of Lucky Blocks that will be found. Approximately 8 million coins were mined in 2013, and the remaining 12 million coins are being mined from 2024 onwards.
A: Luckycoin rewards halve every 100k blocks (or ~69 days). Rewards started at 88 coins per block in 2013 with a random chance to get a higher reward. In April 2025, rewards halved to 5.5 coins per block.
A: Luckycoin's code formed the basis for Dogecoin, making it a crucial part of memecoin history and and important part of Dogecoin's lineage.

A: We continued the original 2013 chain, including its genesis block, bridging an 11-year gap instead of restarting from zero.
A: 1-minute block times, halving every 100k blocks (~69 days), ~19.4 million total supply, and the unique "Lucky Block" system offering random higher rewards.
A: Luckycoin was one of the earliest cryptocurrencies to offer random rewards, specifically: 5% chances 2 times the normal coins (i.e. if normal is 88 coins, you get 176 coins) - 1% chances 5 times the normal coins - 0.01% chance 58 times the normal coins

Luckycoin suffered a major replay attack late December last year. It got patched January 29th, 2025 with the release of V4.
A: A replay attack can happen when there are 2 chains that share an identical history. This means an address containing 10 LKY on chain A
has the same 10 LKY on chain B. When they spend those coins in a transaction on chain A, the same transaction would also be valid on chain B
unless chain B has replay protection which would render chain A's signatures invalid on chain B and vice versa.
The new Luckycoin CTO Team, that took over after the attack, has released an extensive report on this for the public, which can be found
