NOVA is designed for real users. The website is an entry point — execution happens on your machine.
NOVA watches runtime conditions and enforces safety gates by rule, not by humans.
Important: NOVA does not provide a “website wallet.”
Your miner package includes the components required for mining and local control.
Q1) Do I need a NOVA website wallet?
No. NOVA does not operate a website wallet. Your NOVA assets are handled locally via the miner package
(Miner + Miner Wallet + ControlBox).
Q2) What exactly is in the Miner download package?
The Miner package contains three parts:
(1) NOVA Miner (PoW), (2) Miner Wallet (UTXO-based wallet),
and (3) ControlBox (safe control layer for ON / PAUSE / KILL).
Q3) What is the ControlBox?
ControlBox is a local safety controller designed to prevent accidental or unsafe execution.
It enforces gate states like ON, PAUSE, and KILL.
The goal is stability and user safety — not human “operator control.”
Q4) Is NOVA mined like Bitcoin?
Yes. NOVA uses a Proof-of-Work approach aligned with Bitcoin-style mining principles,
and it uses a UTXO ledger model for verification and integrity.
NOVA additionally emphasizes “safe-by-default” execution.
Q5) What is UTXO in simple terms?
UTXO means your balance is represented by “unspent outputs.”
Transfers spend specific outputs instead of modifying a single account balance,
which supports strong verification and clarity.
Q6) How do I buy AutoTrader?
AutoTrader is purchased using NOVA coins.
When a purchase is executed, the required NOVA amount is burned (deleted) by rule.
This is designed to be simple and transparent.
Q7) Does the website ever receive my private keys?
No. NOVA does not expose keys via the website.
Program execution and sensitive operations are performed locally on your machine.
Q8) Who operates NOVA? Can someone manually override it?
NOVA is governed by constitutional code. There are no “operators” who can manually override outcomes.
Safety decisions (like PAUSE/KILL) exist as rules, not as human actions.
Q9) How does licensing work?
Licensing is designed as 1 PC = 1 program via local license injection.
Users download the program first, then download and apply a license file.
(Implementation details will be published in the release docs.)
Q10) What if something looks wrong or unsafe?
Use the gate states. PAUSE blocks risky actions while monitoring continues.
KILL performs a hard stop for safety. These controls exist to prevent damage.
