'''BitZeny''' (ZNY) is a decentralized [[cryptocurrency]] based on [[Bitcoin]], originally developed by a Japanese engineer.
It is designed to be mineable using CPUs equipped in ordinary PCs by adopting the [[Yescrypt]] hashing algorithm and the [[DarkGravityWave3]] [[difficulty]] controlling mechanism.

== History ==
The [[development]] was originally started by a Japanese engineer in November 2014 (reference in Japanese: <ref>https://hope.5ch.net/test/read.cgi/cryptocoin/1414847690/</ref>).
The original developer had been offline since only a month after it was released, but came back online on December 2017.
While the original developer had kept silent, voluntary [[people]] gathered as a community to work on adapting the [[wallet]] and miner programs to newer versions of bitcoin-based source codes, building an online forum<ref>https://bitzeny.info/</ref>, and advertising the coin.

The value has been less than 0.1 USD/ZNY since its release, but it increased to around 0.2 USD/ZNY on December 2017 with the maximum of 0.43 USD/ZNY on December 6th, 2017.

== Yescript ==
Yescript is a hashing algorithm built with an aim to be GPU-unfriendly by design.
The basic idea is to issue many random accesses to the memory so that SIMD processors such as GPUs cannot calculate hashes efficiently.
A GPU implementation to calculate Yescript is reported to be 7.3X '''slower''' than a CPU implementation (700 hashes/s with AMD Radeon R9 280X vs. 5.1K hashes/s with Core i7 5820K).<ref>http://cryptomining-blog.com/4686-new-sgminer-5-1-0-fork-with-yescrypt-support-available/</ref>
This GPU-unfriendliness gives BitZeny a unique characteristics; it is one of a few alt-coins that can be mined a reasonable amount by CPUs. It is suitable for the [[one-CPU-one-vote]] described by [[Satoshi Nakamoto]] in his whitepaper. <ref>https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf</ref>
