#nat In simple terms, NAT is Bitcoin's "golden child" altcoin.
Its core features can be summed up in three points:
1. Same mother, same birth: When miners are hashing for Bitcoin, the same block and the same hash power will simultaneously "produce" NAT rewards for the miners. Unlike Dogecoin, there’s no need for extra mining; it's directly tied to Bitcoin.
2. A "second paycheck" for miners: Bitcoin's rewards halve every four years, and miners might not earn enough in the future. NAT is meant to permanently supplement miners' income, incentivizing them to keep the Bitcoin network secure.
3. Grown from data: It’s not just handed out; it's calculated based on the difficulty data from Bitcoin blocks using a fixed formula. That's why it’s called a "non-arbitrary token"—like Bitcoin, it derives its value from energy and proof of work.
In a nutshell: NAT is an altcoin that is linked to Bitcoin, rewards miners, and aims to address Bitcoin's long-term security issues.
