Empowering Creators to Launch Proof-of-Work Tokens Anyone Can Mine With Ease

LOS ANGELES, USA – August 12, 2025 – Blockminer today officially introduced its groundbreaking token-launch platform, redefining fairness and transparency within the crypto token creation landscape. Built upon simplified Proof-of-Work (PoW) principles and utilizing Bitcoin, Blockminer provides an elegant solution to issues such as insider manipulation, rug pulls, hidden wallets, pre-allocations, and bonding curve abuses prevalent on many token launchpads today.

The launch comes at a time when the meme coin sector has been plagued by fraud. In 2024 alone, investors lost more than USD 500 million to rug pulls and scams involving meme coins, according to a February 2025 report by CoinDesk citing blockchain analytics firm Merkle Science. Platforms like Pump.fun saw over 5.3 million meme coins launched in a single year, many of which were abandoned or designed as pump-and-dump schemes according to Investopedia data. Market research by BDC Consulting further indicates that approximately 70% of new meme coins in 2024 were associated with manipulative practices, including insider dumping, liquidity draining, or hidden wallet allocations.

Unlike traditional platforms, Blockminer’s token-launch process requires every token to be openly mined from inception, offering equal opportunities without specialized hardware or extensive crypto knowledge. Users easily convert Bitcoin to energy, spin up virtual mining rigs securely hosted in cloud infrastructure powered by the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP), and mine tokens transparently using SHA-256 hashing algorithms. All tokens created through Blockminer are Bitcoin-native runes, ensuring secure, transparent, and verifiable on-chain tokenization.

“Our goal at Blockminer is straightforward: Restore crypto’s original ideals,” said Blockminer CEO, Kal Finney. “Too many platforms reward insiders through manipulated launches, unfair bonding curves, and hidden allocations. We fundamentally reject that. Our approach leverages Bitcoin’s trusted Proof-of-Work methodology, ensuring token launches are transparent, accessible, and verifiably fair.”

Central to Blockminer’s solution is its Automated Liquidity Program (ALP). Unlike traditional bonding curves often exploited by insiders, Blockminer’s ALP transparently directs mining energy fees into liquidity pools at defined tiers. Once a token enters the initial 25% tier, contributions trigger automatically every 200 Energy accumulated, with slight randomization to ensure fairness, token stability, and market confidence.

Blockminer empowers creators to launch their own fair tokens easily, choosing from five predefined token types with distinct total supplies, block times, and distribution durations. Upcoming updates will feature faster-moving token options and a retroactive token creator rewards program, ensuring creators who launch tokens today won’t miss out.

“Blockminer was built by crypto industry veterans deeply familiar with the industry’s challenges,” Kal emphasized. “By embedding transparency directly into token mining and liquidity processes, we’re shifting power back to fair participants and genuine communities.”

Launching alongside the platform is Blockminer’s Refer-to-Earn program, incentivizing community growth by offering users lifetime earnings of 10% on energy purchases from referred members. The Blockminer Token Launcher and Refer-to-Earn programs are live now at Blockminer.fun. Follow @Blockminerfun on X for continuous updates and announcements.

About Blockminer

Blockminer.fun is an innovative crypto mining and token-launch platform committed to fairness, transparency, and community-driven innovation. Inspired directly by Bitcoin’s Proof-of-Work principles, Blockminer enables easy, equipment-free participation in ethical token launches, free from hidden allocations, secret wallets, and manipulated market conditions. Join Blockminer in reclaiming crypto’s promise through verified fairness and robust on-chain solutions.

As severe weather becomes more common in late summer, Scott Asner, a prominent Kansas City, MO, real estate investment manager, shares tips to help property owners and renters prepare for storms and protect their communities.

As the summer season brings an increased risk of strong storms, Scott Asner, Founding Principal of real estate and private equity investment firm Eighteen Capital Group, is encouraging property owners and landlords to prioritize emergency planning and storm preparedness across their communities.

Late-summer storms can lead to flooding, wind damage, and power outages, especially in regions with older infrastructure or limited drainage systems. Asner highlights the importance of advance preparation to minimize disruption and help protect both buildings and residents.

“Being ready for severe weather helps maintain safety and peace of mind for everyone involved,” said Scott Asner. “By planning ahead, property owners can avoid unnecessary damage and ensure tenants know what to expect.”

Asner offers five practical steps to support both property owners and renters during peak storm season:

1. Update Emergency Procedures – Review evacuation plans, contact information, and shelter locations. Ensure that procedures are accessible and clearly communicated to residents.
2. Inspect Roofing and Drainage – Regularly clean gutters and storm drains. Check roofs and window seals for potential leaks to prevent water intrusion.
3. Secure Outdoor Items – Move furniture, grills, and signage indoors or secure them to prevent them from becoming hazards in high winds.
4. Check Backup Systems – Test emergency lighting and power generators where available. Make sure residents understand what systems will remain operational during a power outage.
5. Communicate Early and Often – Share weather updates, building procedures, and recovery information through email, text messages, or notices in common areas.

“Storm preparedness is part of responsible property management,” Asner added. “A thoughtful plan makes a meaningful difference when weather conditions change quickly.”

Property owners and residents looking for additional resources can visit Ready.gov or connect with local emergency management offices for community-specific guidance.

San Francisco, California, 12th August 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Recent U.S. regulatory changes are reshaping the global digital asset landscape. A groundbreaking executive order now allows 401(k) retirement plans to invest in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, unlocking a multi-trillion-dollar source of long-term capital for the crypto market.
