GrahamBell

About the startup

GrahamBell is a blockchain x telecom architecture rethinking traditional Proof of Work: •⁠ ⁠Each node mines at exactly 1 hash per second •⁠ ⁠Parallel mining, mining pools, capital resources, and hardware dominance provide no advantage •⁠ ⁠ASIC/GPU/CPU optimisation becomes ineffective •⁠ ⁠Mining is integrated with audio/video calls •⁠ ⁠Telecom (audio/video call) usage is incentivised (reverse billing per active call time) •⁠ ⁠Telecom is open-source and paired with mining to promote DePIN The goal is to remove centralisation pressures in Proof of Work mining by eliminating parallel mining, hardware dominance, capital advantage and mining pools to enable mass participation in solo mining under network-enforced rules. Telecom (audio/video call) integration with mining, an already widely adopted infrastructure is an intentional design choice to promote adoption and real usage, which is key to maximising security, decentralisation and opening new paths for on-chain scalability. You can: (1) Watch the 6-minute demo video that explains and demonstrates how mining is capped to 1 hash per second per node: https://youtu.be/i5gzzqFXXUk (2) Try the local client yourself. It doesn’t require any wallet connection or setup — it’s browser-based: https://grahambell.io/mvp/Proof_of_Witness.html (3) Visual representation of mining during live calls: https://youtu.be/gPz7d3lGz1k I’m assembling an early group of participants to stress-test the P2P version when it’s released. This group will be running some of the earliest nodes and helping push the system under real conditions: https://grahambell.io/mvp/#waitlist
