Title: [ANN] EruptorCoin - A coin only for old USB eruptors!
Post by: nuggetbram on January 10, 2014, 12:17:04 AM
My idea so far is to have a sha-256 coin that has solomining disabled, and the source code released to only one pool. That pool then has a hash limit of 350Mh/s or so, kicking anything higher, so powerful asics can't be used, only USB eruptors and gpus.

I can probably make this coin myself, but if any more experienced coin makers want to they are free to help.

Donations would be extra helpful! BTC: 1A8NHoNJjTgX5hYn3HPnTmBx9kcWySdYNn

(EDIT- I just realized I will be unavailable for a day or two, but then should be here for any questions)


Thanks!
