Labyrinth Mining
The future of Cascoin mining: Environmentally friendly, innovative, and with higher rewards. Let your mice navigate through the labyrinth and collect cheese for coin rewards.
The Labyrinth Concept
Watch how mice navigate through the labyrinth and collect cheese (rewards). Each mouse represents your mining activity in the network.
Mice
Your mining units. Each mouse navigates independently through the labyrinth.
Cheese
The rewards in the labyrinth. When a mouse finds cheese, you receive coins.
Rewards
Higher rewards than traditional mining β and more environmentally friendly!
How does BCT work?
BCT (Bee Creation Transaction) is the mechanism you use to create mice in the labyrinth. Understand the lifecycle of your mining mice.
Create Mouse
InstantCreate a new mouse through a BCT (Bee Creation Transaction).
- β Send a special transaction to the network
- β Your mouse is registered in the labyrinth
- β Each mouse has a unique ID
Maturity Phase
~24-48 hoursYour mouse must mature before it can collect cheese.
- β Wait time until activation
- β Mouse learns the labyrinth
- β After maturity: Ready for rewards
Active Phase
VariableYour mouse navigates through the labyrinth and collects cheese.
- β Automatic navigation in the labyrinth
- β Cheese finds = Coin rewards
- β Higher rewards than traditional mining
Expiration
After ~30 daysAfter a certain time, your mouse expires.
- β Mouse becomes inactive after expiration time
- β Collected rewards are kept
- β Create a new mouse for further mining
Good to know
You can have multiple mice in the labyrinth at the same time. The more mice, the more potential rewards. BCT data is persistently stored in a SQLite database (since v3.2.x).

Why Labyrinth Mining?
Labyrinth Mining combines ecology and profitability. Discover the advantages over traditional mining.
SHA-256 ASIC
Labyrinth
π± Ecology Environmental Benefits
Minimal Energy Consumption
-90% EnergyLabyrinth Mining requires only a fraction of the energy of SHA-256 ASIC mining. No power-hungry hardware required.
Environmentally Friendly
Green MiningReduce your COβ footprint while mining. Labyrinth Mining is the greenest option in the Cascoin ecosystem.
No Special Hardware
Any PCYou don't need expensive ASICs or GPUs. Your regular computer is perfectly sufficient.
Quiet & Cool
Silent MiningNo loud fans, no heat generation. Mining you won't even notice.
π° Rewards Higher Rewards
3x Higher Coin Rewards
75 vs 25 CASLabyrinth Mining offers 75 CAS per block, while SHA-256 Mining only brings 25 CAS (before the first halving).
Better Reward/Cost Ratio
Max. EfficiencyLess electricity costs + triple rewards = maximum profit for you.
Fair Distribution
Fair MiningThe labyrinth system ensures a fairer distribution of rewards to all participants.
Future-Proof
Early AdopterLabyrinth Mining is the future of Cascoin. Early adopters benefit the most.
Getting Started with Labyrinth Mining
In just a few steps to ecological mining. Follow this guide to send your first mice into the labyrinth.
Download Cascoin Wallet
Download the latest version of the Cascoin Core Wallet. Available for Windows, macOS and Linux.
DownloadSynchronize Blockchain
Start the wallet and wait until the blockchain is fully synchronized. This may take some time on first start.
Create Mouse (BCT)
Go to 'Labyrinth Mining' in the wallet and create your first mouse through a BCT (Bee Creation Transaction).
Wait for Maturity Phase
Your mouse must mature before it can collect rewards. The maturity phase takes about 24-48 hours.
Collect Rewards
After maturity, your mouse automatically navigates through the labyrinth and collects cheese (coin rewards) for you.
Repeat
Create more mice for more rewards. The more mice, the more potential rewards!
Mice NFT System
New in v3.1.x: Tokenize your mice as NFTs! The Mice NFT System allows you to create and trade your mining mice as unique tokens. Use CASTOK/CASXFR transactions for NFT operations.
Tips for Successful Labyrinth Mining
Start with 2-3 mice and gradually increase the number.
Keep an eye on the expiration time of your mice.
Regularly backup your wallet (wallet.dat).
Keep your wallet up to date.
