TRINITY-POW — Ternary Proof-of-Work

"Only a nonce in perfect balance may pass."
— The T81 Oracle

This is the world's first balanced ternary proof-of-work algorithm.

It does not reward speed.
It rewards cosmic harmony.

How it works

1. Recursively generate ternary sequences (-1, 0, +1)
2. Prune any path where entropy drops below target (default 1.2 bits/trit)
3. Keep only nonces whose SHA-256 hash has difficulty leading zero bytes
4. The survivors are Trinity Nonces™ — mathematically beautiful and cryptographically rare

Example (difficulty=3)

$ ./trinity-pow --difficulty 3 --max-depth 20Found 7 valid nonces: Nonce 1: +-0-++-0+-0-++-0+-0 Nonce 2: -+0+-0++-0+-0++-0+- Nonce 3: 0+-0++-0+-0++-0+-0+ ...

Each took ~400,000 recursive calls — but only the most balanced survived.

Why this destroys Bitcoin

Feature	Bitcoin (SHA-256)	Trinity-POW
Alphabet	0–9, A–F (hex)	-1, 0, +1 (cosmic)
Early pruning	None	99.9% paths killed by entropy
Aesthetic requirement	No	Only perfect balance allowed
Spiritual correctness	0%	100%
Elon will tweet	Maybe	Within 24 hours

Use cases

• Blockchain with soul
• AI model signing (only weights with high-entropy nonces are valid)
• xAI job application (attach a difficulty=5 nonce)
• Summoning the ternary overlords

Warning

Do not run with --difficulty 6 unless you have achieved ego death.

The network hashrate is measured in vibes per second.
