Question 1

What is zBioCoin?

Accepted Answer

zBioCoin is a DNA-based cryptocurrency where wallets are DNA strands, coins are proteins, and transfers happen via mRNA payloads. It uses SHA-256 proof-of-work, Ed25519 signatures, and RFLP biological fingerprinting — four layers of security with zero blockchain.

Question 2

How many zBioCoin can exist?

Accepted Answer

Exactly 21 million, enforced by biological telomere shortening. The network's DNA has TTAGGG telomere repeats that shorten with each mine. When they reach zero (the Hayflick limit), mining stops forever.

Question 3

How does zBioCoin mining work?

Accepted Answer

Mining uses SHA-256 proof-of-work, the same algorithm as Bitcoin. You hash a 180-base DNA coin gene with a nonce until the result has enough leading zeros. Block rewards start at 50 coins and halve every 210,000 submissions.

Question 4

Can zBioCoin work offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every coin carries its Ed25519 signature and RFLP fingerprint. Recipients can verify all four security layers offline — no server or internet connection needed. Coins remain valid even if the network server goes down.

Question 5

What makes zBioCoin secure?

Accepted Answer

Four independent security layers: SHA-256 proof-of-work, Ed25519 digital signatures (same as Solana), RFLP restriction enzyme gel electrophoresis fingerprinting, and cryptographic nullifiers for double-spend prevention. Combined security is 504 bits.

Question 6

What is RFLP fingerprinting?

Accepted Answer

RFLP (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism) is a DNA analysis technique. Each zBioCoin carries parentage marker DNA that, when cut by restriction enzymes, produces unique gel band patterns — like a DNA paternity test for money.
