Title: [ANN] Barcoin | BAR | 1 coin Block reward | 10000 coins total - SCRYPT
Post by: Boxman90 on May 27, 2013, 07:47:33 PM
I'm making a proper announcement topic for this one.

Barcoin was introduced here as an example: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=217636.0
But people started to mine it anyway, and it's getting quite a hashrate already.

Source and binaries

Source: https://github.com/barcoin
Windows client: https://mega.co.nz/#!E4IQ0YQZ!fQ3aCRwtgtqSX27ChhK0pn3K575ZzSdRu4Zd5Okc6Ro

Specs
Specs:
- 2 min block target
- 10000 blocks total
- port: 55884
- default rpcport 55883

Happy mining and we'll see where this lands.

Okay now I usually support any coin that comes out but come on... 10K coins? LOL

Edit almost 3500 blocks done so 1/3 already mined.

link to binary is NOT working.



Edit: And there is live outside megaupload... just thinking.... most of the coins distribute the binary from a central server.... instead using p2p.

Why the fuck are you trying to pump and dump it when author don't want to do that, nor he given you permission to post in this section as a alt currency.


It's stupidity

The code was meant to be a tutorial on how to make a new coin ...

Lets make "barcoin" a tutorial on how to build a 51% attack ... should be quite easy after the last coin has been mined ^^ (in a few days ... maybe tomorrow)

- 10000 blocks total

What happens after the 10000 Blocks? Is this the prediction when the coin will die for good?

I would like to have a public tutorial for a 51% attack so these new copycat coins would be tested by the community.

There is an tutorial to create a new LTC fork, so why not a 51% attack tutorial then?

Why not just follow the tutorial and create your own coin?

Anyone mining this for any other reason than to test their mining rigs is crazy and if anyone is buying it I'd go further as to classify you as insane. If you buy this junk you should be locked up in a padded room.  ::)

I'm not crazy! My mommy had me tested!
