How to Mine Bells Coin? A Complete Guide
Recently, Bells, the cryptocurrency project initiated by Dogecoin founder Billy Markus, has been revived. In this article, we will try to introduce the history of Bells and how to mine it.
What Is Bells Coin? What's the History of Bells?
In 2013, Billy Markus, a software engineer at IBM who was obsessed with video games, created a cryptocurrency called Bells in his spare time, named after the currency used in the Nintendo game Animal Crossing.
The main difference between Bells and ordinary cryptocurrencies was the rewards: they were completely random. If you mined Bitcoin with a decent home computer, the rewards were consistent. If you mined Bells, you didn’t know if the reward was one Bell or 500 Bells.
Like Dogecoin, Bells was also a "joke" at first, intended as a video game-based digital currency that told the story of animals living in a village who went fishing together. But the cryptocurrency community didn't really get the joke.
"People were just smashing it," Billy said, and he soon realized that there was little overlap between crypto enthusiasts and gamers. Disappointed, Billy decided to quit the cryptocurrency field, and then read Jackson Palmer’s message on dogecoin.com, "If you want to make Dogecoin a reality, please contact me," and then came the later Dogecoin. Dogecoin succeeded, and Bells was forgotten. However, recently two cryptocurrency practitioners have tried to revive Bells.
