I want to break free of all the crappy altcoins :-p

Full windows exe is enough.

Looks, interesting.  

 This coin will be out about 13 hours from now.

1) who wants to hijack the existing blockchain? just post your ip! lol. (the OP should be aware people could do that.)

2) please make sure the src compiles for linux. PWC was a godamn mess of crappy coding. does not breed confidence.

3) I dont think you should remove all reward for early adopters. We're putting risk in here at least equal to the cost of power vs lost opportunity mining bitcoins, so it should not be too low a reward

4) a starting 0 reward for 12 (24? 48?) hours might be ok -- the initial 3, 6, 12 hour frenzies arent healthy for any coins anymore. perhaps thats ok. doesnt matter what the difficulty is, if the retarg comes later - the difficulty wont increase until a retarg - til then you'll end up in orphan city for anyone who doenst have a big rig farm. they spent money on their rigs, thats fine, they deserve reward, but not exponentially by orphaning everyone else's blocks by mining pairs or more at a time.

5) perhaps a coin to combat early mining rush which pisses off the core of the populace (ie makes more people per hashpower use the coin, which is what we need, not 5 mega rig dudes who pumpmine  and dump coins) would be good -

how about: ignore any coins that have the same miner address twice in a row for the first 10k or 20k blocks (or make it time based? first 72 hrs? 96?). this would ensure that domination by a few huge rigs wouldnt happen (to some extent, i spose they could setup wallets for every card in their farm tho.). im not sure how to quasi identify two blocks mined in a row by the same 'person', considering bitcoin protocol is designed for pseudonymity to start with. we are trying to promote more 'agents' to be involved with the coin to get a good start - ie people, instead of just pure hashpower.

also early retargetting calcs - so that retarg is done every hour for the first 96 hrs or something. I spose we could run into TRC issues, but since its scrypt, we dont have ASICs gaming it, and 96hrs isnt long. Sides, overwhelmingly, with any new coin, hashrate goes up and up for the first while anyway, there wont be huge surges and drops in the first hours. Then we can increase the retarg delay (perhaps make the retargetting based on the # of blocks out there? scale linearly, or perhaps with the squareroot of # of blocks? pick a curve.)

remember: hashpower does not make a viable coin, PEOPLE do. orienting the coin to encourage that would be a good long term design.

Thanks for the update.

I am happy that a pre launch was announced before hand. I hope the clients are ready to go right out of the box.

One thing I always wish for is having a way to have a level playing field for those that do not have farms. Many times I try to jump on a coin only to see the dif raise so fast that it becomes next to unmissable for me ...

I did like the concept of the game coins because for once in my short Crypto life I have been able to gain over 4K coins.... LOL

Yep that sounds like my end. Slower non ati cards trying to mine at any time is pretty much a joke. Then you add in that you feel you whole 300 coins made in that day or 2 are actually gonna help you break even or even trade up to something only to see it go on an exchange, crash and be only worth 30 cents for all 300 that took you 2 days to get.

You had an entire year to pick up BBQcoins all day and all night with just even a single core CPU or a single core of your CPU, and you chose not to.

You still could have been raking in Fairbrix and Tenebrix all day and all night the same way, and still can, but are you?

If not then it is totally and only yourself to blame for your missed opportunities, they have been right here all along and you simply keep choosing not to take them. Instead you waste power on really hard to mine crapcoins.

-MarkM-

sure doesnt it take a few seconds to generate an address? I suppose then you'd have something for your cpu to do! At any rate that'd take some time, im sure you'd rather not have to do that, which is exactly what we're aiming for: people with giant rigs to have to put some work in this.

Do you agree that people with big rigs should get MORE than their linearly scaled fair share of blocks? Or do you think that early mining rewards should be flattened out to be exactly proportional to hashrate? (I can predict what big rig people will say.)
