A private, ASIC-friendly cryptocurrency with a fair emission curve and a hard supply cap.
What is Memero?
Memero is a private cryptocurrency forked from Lolnero (itself a fork of Wownero and Monero). It keeps SHA-3-256 mining and anonymous transactions, but replaces the original flat reward with a Monero-style exponential decay toward a fixed 18.4 million MEM hard cap.
