Bellscoin was created eight days prior to Dogecoin's birth by the same creator, Billy Markus.
Inspired from the game Animal Crossing. In the Animal Crossing universe, Bells are the primary form of currency. To gather them, you must collect fruits, catch bugs, fish, dig for fossils, etc. and trade those items for Bells. In the crypto world, we just mine for them!
The amount of Bells obtained through mining is set randomly, meaning that the quantity of Bells received as a block reward varies each time. As each Epoch progresses, the reward decreases, creating a diminishing experience by design. This mechanism is intended to gradually increase the scarcity of Bells.
Bellscoin is merged-mined with Litecoin and Dogecoin through Scrypt Proof of Work algorithm, making it a secure network. Ordinals are integrated into Bellscoin along with many OP_Codes that were disabled on Bitcoin are used on Bellscoin.
