A small Bitcoin-family experiment

daisybeegrown slowly. built to be boring.

A tiny Bitcoin-family experiment. No sale. No public mainnet yet. Built slowly, in public when it is ready.

Current status

Software first.

Daisybee is still a development network. The point right now is to make the code less inherited, more understandable, and increasingly boring to run.

Working
🧬

Own genesis

Independent Daisybee regtest genesis, ports, chain ID and address namespace.

Working
🖥️

Core binaries

daisybeed and daisybee-cli build and pass the local smoke check.

In progress
✂️

Protocol cleanup

Inherited Namecoin interfaces are being disabled and removed in controlled steps.

Blocked by design
🔐

Mainnet

No public mainnet until the merged-mining/security arrangement is credible.

Source & contact
The Daisybee Core repository is still private during protocol cleanup. It will open with the public developer release; the development history and licence remain part of the project record.

Build history

Small steps, tagged.

The current public-facing story is the development history, not a price chart.

v0.01

Identity + genesis

Daisybee binaries, independent regtest network parameters and genesis.

v0.02

Developer build

Own runtime paths plus the first packaged Linux developer snapshot.

v0.03

Namecoin surface disabled

Name transactions rejected; inherited name RPC surface removed from normal use.

v0.04

NameHash removed

Inherited NameHash index physically removed from the runtime/build path.

Project constitution

The boring rules.

These are constraints, not marketing copy. If Daisybee ever becomes more public, they stay visible.

01
No premine or founder allocation.
The website does not sell the currency.
02
No promised value.
No price targets, “get in early”, or investment language.
03
Software before promotion.
A long testnet is a feature, not an embarrassment.
04
Mainnet is a security gate.
AuxPoW code alone is not enough; actual mining security must exist.
05
Commerce stays separate from the coin.
Art, software support and ordinary products may earn money; purchases never buy coins, yield, governance or network advantage.
Small shop

Buy the art, not the asset.

The first income route is deliberately ordinary: small Daisybee products paid in pounds through Stripe. No coins, yield, mining advantage or investment benefit comes with a purchase.

Stripe-ready

Start with the easy pounds.

We already have an active Stripe account, so v1 uses Stripe Payment Links rather than building a checkout system. The first product is now live through Stripe. Other physical products remain previews until fulfilment is ready.

Why products first? They are easier to explain, easier to price and completely separate from DSYB. We can add a pay-what-you-want project tip later only after confirming the final Stripe/account wording.
Project support

Keep this quieter than the shop.

We are not deleting the idea of voluntary support, but it is no longer a three-tier pseudo-membership. When enabled, it should be a single optional Stripe pay-what-you-want route with explicit wording that it buys no coin, return, governance right, access right or future entitlement.

No recurring £7/month tier at launch. A subscription only makes sense later if Daisybee can offer a real ongoing product or service worth subscribing to.
FAQ

Questions before hype.

Can I buy Daisybee?

No. There is no public sale, ICO or public mainnet. The project is currently software under development.

Is Daisybee Bitcoin?

No. It is a separate Bitcoin-family experiment with Bitcoin/Namecoin technical heritage and its own network identity.

Why AuxPoW?

A tiny standalone SHA-256 chain is easy to overpower. The intended mainnet security model is merged mining, but code support is not the same as actual miner participation.

What do shop purchases buy?

Only the listed ordinary product or artwork. They do not buy Daisybee coins, investment rights, governance, yield, mining advantage, preferential access or any future entitlement.

Why so slow?

Because the project has no reason to pretend urgency. Breaking a private testnet is cheaper than discovering a bad assumption after a public launch.

Will there definitely be a mainnet?

No. Mainnet remains conditional on credible security. The software and artwork can remain useful even if that gate never opens.
