She is Private
ADMITV1 membership over this book's notes, with confidential amounts. PoW elects the tip. Continuity-settled. Testnet.
Offer a silent ID (she1) when someone pays you. Incoming coin lands on a revolving dest (ssa1) that the book writes. Rest-frame shear1 stays in Closure. While this book has fewer than 10,000 notes the membership set is thin.
Each found block mints 1 SHE, split among hasher dests that produced proven work. Each of those dests receives its own hash bonus on the next sealed block.

Emissions and circulation stats of the Shear network
Each found block closes exactly one coin, forever.
The network aims to find a block about every ninety seconds.
Average time between sealed blocks, as they have actually arrived.
Total circulation of Shear coins
No premine, no ICO. SHE is created via CPU-only proof-of-work on a Nakamoto consensus using ShearHash-v3 (a variant of RandomX). There is no snapshot, no inherited allocation, and no claim window. The first coins exist when the first blocks are found.
| Block pot | Exactly 1 SHE, every found block |
|---|---|
| Hash bonus | 0.00000000001 SHE for each accepted hash, paid to the hasher dest that produced it |
| Staked SHE | Staking may occur in The Reserve vortice at a variable rate to reward participants in Shear's community governance model |
A found block creates 1 SHE. The 1 SHE pot is split proportionally to each miner's proven work in that round (PROP, minus any pool fee). Solo miners receive that full pot plus their own hash bonuses. Hash bonuses are always paid in full to the miner who produced them; they are not PROP-split. Each hasher dest that hashed that round receives its own kind:hash payout on the next sealed block.
Your accepted hashes are yours. Finding the block does not let anyone take another person’s bonus. Each hasher dest is paid separately. Public pages show eight decimal places, so a single hash looks like dust; the extra unit is still written into the payout.
Shear developers do not sell SHE. You hash, or you are paid by someone who already holds coin. Testnet balances can vanish; treat them as a practice run before mainnet.
The Reserve is a vortice, enabling holders to take part in Shear governance, this is the only contract in which extra SHE may be created on the chain, outwith mining it. You open The Reserve from the Vortex tab in the wallet and the first qualifying stake submitted by any user opens the inaugural 400-day epoch.
Everyone with a wallet may lock over 3.14 SHE (π) into your own portal as a stake. That minimum sum entitles one vote per wallet for the current epoch. Inside the last 99 days of any epoch, new deposits still lock and can vote, but they do not earn stake. Stake in the first 300 days of an epoch to earn interest; late deposits still vote.
Voting takes place to either; raise the hash bonus to miners by one unit, lower it by one unit, or leave it. That unit is 0.00000000001 SHE. The 1 SHE pot is not on the ballot. Each wallet may vote once; you may change your mind within the first 301 days. Public tallies will show the three piles. They do not name who voted.
The staking rate on every user's qualifying stake is a 400-day APR. Daily credits sit in your portal until epoch-end Withdraw + Sign. Last-99-day deposits unlock a vote but earn no stake. Idle SHE earns nothing. Current rate: …
When an epoch concludes, principal and those daily credits return to Continuum after a signed Withdraw. Miss that window and previous-epoch rewards stay claimable at any time; a new epoch does not confiscate them. Vote at π SHE.
Vortex is a tab in the wallet. It is a drawer of smart programs that run on Shear. Each of those programs is a vortice.
The Reserve is already here. Stake, votes, and interest live in community governance.
Anyone can publish a vortice but you host it off-chain. To install any 3rd party vortice, you must use the author's vort1. key. Simply 'add new vortice', paste that key. The wallet fetches the program, checks the pin, and installs it on your device. You never type a web address, and you never pick from a list. No key, no program.
A third-party vortice may have the ability to move SHE you already have, keep a vault, or pay rewards it has funded itself. Please be careful to verify the safety of any 3rd party vortice. If the hosted file changes, the old key stops working; a new body needs a new key.
They cannot create new SHE. They cannot ask for your wallet password or your backup file. They cannot raise or lower the 1 SHE pot. The author must keep serving the pinned bytes of a vortice for as long as they want the key to work.

she1. Copy that she1 when someone needs to pay you. Incoming coin lands on a private ssa1 dest that you do not hand out. Never share a shear1 string.pool.shear.digital:1111 and log in with Copy dest (ssa1.worker).This is testnet. Install only from the buttons on this page or the official release tag.
ShearK-Miner 1.6, CPU only. Log in with wallet Copy dest (ssa1.worker). Solo means your node finds the block: you keep the whole 1 SHE pot plus the hash bonus on that dest. The public pool takes 1% of the pot only.
Node source is the NODE button above. This starts an in-process node with stratum on 127.0.0.1:1111.
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/rgsneddon/shear-testnet.git cd shear-testnet npm install npm run pool
Download miner 1.6, unzip, then (macOS / Linux):
./ShearK-Miner --selftest ./ShearK-Miner --pool 127.0.0.1:1111 --user YOUR_SSA1.solo --threads 8
Windows:
ShearK-Miner.exe --selftest ShearK-Miner.exe --pool 127.0.0.1:1111 --user YOUR_SSA1.solo --threads 8
Replace YOUR_SSA1 with Copy dest from the wallet. .solo is only a worker name. Hash bonus is 10−11 SHE per accepted hash, paid onto that dest on the next sealed block, spendable after 6 confirms. Reuse links your blocks; rotate dests. Amounts are confidential.
Skip the local node and hash on the official stratum:
./ShearK-Miner --pool pool.shear.digital:1111 --user YOUR_SSA1.worker --threads 8
