Mine a privacy coin on the Mac you already own.
Glaciem (GLAC) is a fork of Monero with Lattice — an original, CPU-only proof-of-work tuned for the performance-per-watt of Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4). No GPUs, no ASICs, no mining farms — just CPUs, on even footing.
Live from the Glaciem RPC proxy · updated —
Glaciem keeps Monero's privacy untouched and changes exactly one thing — the proof-of-work — to put mining back on ordinary CPUs.
RingCT, ring signatures, Bulletproofs+ and stealth addresses — inherited from Monero exactly, mandatory on every transaction. None of it was modified.
An original, integer-only, latency-bound algorithm. It has no GPU phase and no ASIC market — verification is cheap and runs on any CPU.
Native apps for macOS, Windows and Android, each with a built-in wallet. Generate an address and the blocks you find pay straight to it.
Most coins drift toward specialised hardware — GPUs, then ASICs, then farms. Lattice is shaped so that doesn't happen: each hash is work a CPU is simply good at, and nothing else.
Each hash is a branchy, latency-bound walk over a per-nonce scratchpad. It can't be parallelised within a nonce — it rewards wide, high-IPC CPU cores.
The large per-nonce working set collapses GPU occupancy, and a data-dependent branch every step causes warp divergence. There is no GPU code at all.
Integer-only and deterministic. Any full node, on any platform, validates a block by running one walk — no GPU, no special hardware.
The contest lands on CPUs — the terrain where modern, efficient cores like Apple Silicon are strongest, and where electricity is priced normally.
We didn't just design Lattice to be fair — we benchmarked it. Across Apple Silicon and x86, every standard optimization — SIMD, multi-nonce interleaving, huge pages — failed to beat the straightforward build. In plain terms: there is no secret fast miner to discover. The open reference miner is already within a couple of percent of optimal, so everyone mines on even footing.
Each app bundles the Lattice miner and a wallet — generate an address, sync, and mine. Download now and be set up, ready for the mainnet launch.
Native SwiftUI app for Apple Silicon. Send, receive, sweep and view history from a built-in wallet.
Download for Mac →A single self-contained 64-bit .exe — no installer, no dependencies. Same embedded wallet.
Download for Windows →Note: v1.1.18 is dependency-verified but not yet hands-on tested on Windows — please report any issues.
A Jetpack Compose app — mine on your phone, with the same generate / send / receive / sweep wallet.
Download for Android →A Qt6 desktop app — same embedded wallet and Lattice miner. Flatpak is the click-to-install path on Fedora and most distros; AppImage is the fallback for everything else.
Flatpak (recommended) → AppImage →Glaciem is an experimental project, not an investment. Read this before you mine.
