## Terms of service
1. Duino-Coins ("DUCOs") are earned by miners with a process called mining.<br/>
2. Mining is described as using DUCO-S1 algorithm (as explained in the <a href="https://github.com/revoxhere/duino-coin/blob/gh-pages/assets/whitepaper.pdf">Duino-Coin Whitepaper</a>), in which finding a correct result to a mathematical problem gives the miner a reward.<br/>
3. Mining can be officially done using CPUs, AVR boards (e.g. Arduino boards), Single-board computers (e.g. Raspberry Pi boards), ESP32/8266 boards with the usage of official miners (other officially allowed miners are described in the upper part of README).<br/>
4. All miners need to use the difficulty tier made and suitable for their device.
5. Mining on GPUs, FPGAs and other high-efficiency hardware is allowed, but using only the `EXTREME` mining difficulty.<br/>
6. Any users using miners on difficulty not suited for their hardware (see the <a href="https://github.com/revoxhere/duino-coin/tree/useful-tools#socket-api">difficulty list</a>) will be automatically throttled by being moved to correct difficulty tier.<br/>
7. Any user that keeps trying to use a lower difficulty than suited for their device may get temporarily blocked or permanently banned.<br/>
8. Banning involves blocking the user from accessing his coins along with the removal of an account.<br/>
9. Only coins earned legally are eligible for the exchange.<br/>
10. Accounts may be suspended temporarily to investigate ("investigations") ToS violations ("violation" or "abuse").<br/>
11. An exchange request made to the official DUCO-Exchange ("the official exchange") may be delayed and/or declined during investigations. <br/>
12. Exchange requests made to the official exchange may be declined due to ToS violations and/or low funding.<br/>
13. Mining with free cloud hosting services (or free VPS services - e.g. Repl.it, GitHub Actions, etc.) is not allowed as it's unfair for others.<br />
14. A user's DUCOs may be burnt if a violation can be proven.<br/>
15. These terms of service can change at any time without prior notice.<br/>
16. Having alt accounts without a rational reason (e.g. for multi-mining) is forbidden - multiple accounts used on a single computer/network will be blocked, unless whitelisted.<br/>
17. Sending transactions that promote other services or advertise something in any form is not allowed.<br/>
18. Sending a lot of transactions in a short amount of time can trigger the Kolka system which will rate limit and/or block the user.<br />
19. Community-made softwares need to comply with the rules (terms of service, difficulty tiers, etc.) - abusing the system will lead to blocking of the software and/or the user(s).<br />
20. Accounts proven to be misleading in name or usage (impersonation, fake bots, etc.) are not allowed.<br />
21. Sending an offensive and/or unrelated verification picture and/or description will lead to immediate blocking of the account.
22. Every Duino-Coin user agrees to comply with the above rules. Improper behavior will lead to blocking of the account.<br/>

## Privacy policy
1. The master server only stores usernames, hashed passwords (with the help of bcrypt), account creation dates, last login times and e-mails of users as their data.<br/>
2. E-mails are not publicly available and are only used for contacting user when needed, confirming exchanges on the <a href="https://revoxhere.github.io/duco-exchange/">DUCO-Exchange</a> and receiving an occasional newsletter (planned for the future).<br/>
3. Balances, transactions and mining-related data is publicly available in the <a href="https://github.com/revoxhere/duino-coin/tree/useful-tools#http-json-api">JSON APIs</a>.<br/>
4. The privacy policy may be changed in the future, although users will receive a notification prior to the changes.
