Title: [ANN][FUR] FurryCoin! Launch Date Announced! The coin for your fursona.
Post by: Cutiecats on January 13, 2014, 01:49:15 AM
FurryCoin

Release Announcement

13 Jan 2014 - 11:30am UTC / 6:30am EST

Time has been revised to an earlier release time



 

Putting the WOW back into open source peer-to-peer cryptocurrencies!  ;)

 
Website: http://www.furrycoin.org (http://www.furrycoin.org)

 
Why FurryCoin?

The main purpose of FurryCoin is to introduce cryptocurrency to a new community with the hope it will be a useful and fun service.

Our goal for FurryCoin is to introduce a new audience and not just be another alternative currency set up for the sake of it. There has been an explosion in alternative currencies recently and we hope to leverage this interest to further encourage use and promotion of cryptocurrency in a positive and fun way! We hope to one day see cryptocurrencies such as FurryCoin and Bitcoin used just like services such as Facebook and Twitter are used today, just another part of the global wonder that is the internet.

We see the link between Bitcoin and its alternative currencies as an important part of encouraging use of cryptocurriences, being able to exchange between them lends FurryCoin the value it needs to grow and prosper. The Bitcoin community also has the knowledge and power to achieve the wide spread use of cryptocurrency.

How can I get involved?

To realize our goal we need your help! This is a community project and we welcome all positive ideas, suggestions and involvement.
  
  • Additional mining pools - Please contact us!
  • Currency exchange
  • Faucets and gaming websites

If you are able to host a pool for us you will enjoy the benefit of a small headstart at launch on the general public!

We also extend the bounty offer to anyone in the community who creates something fun and exciting using FurryCoins, such as faucets, games and other cool stuff. We will also provide you with a link from our website to help spread the word and FurryCoin to help kickstart the initial funding of your project once we approve it.

Features

FurryCoin is a Scrypt based coin to allow end users to easily mine it with a basic gaming PC and will have a limited premine to fund bounties, kickstart projects, hold promotions to encourage use of FurryCoin and to cover some of our setup and running expenses. We have kept this to the minimum necessary to fund our project long term and we won't be mining this coin with uber hash rates once it launches as we simply don't have access to that kind of hardware. This means once FurryCoin launches the rewards are all over to you starting with the biggest random rewards after launch.

PoW algorithm: Scrypt
Difficulty retarget: 4 hours
Block reward: Staggered random reward

  • 11-100,000: 0-1,000,000 FurryCoin Reward
  • 100,001 — 200,000: 0-500,000 FUR Reward
  • 200,001 — 300,000: 0-250,000 FUR Reward

Post by: Zen00 on January 13, 2014, 02:51:38 AM
I highly suggest you reduce that premine to 1% or just get rid of it entirely, you probably have enough machine power to guarantee enough coins for yourself for give aways, not to mention community donations and such which will be generous with such a large supply.

First they say 8:30AM now they say 6:30AM in the middle of the night so the OP can get that extra two hours of mining before anyone wakes up.

'Note that the launch time has been revised ealier then expected:
13 Jan 2014 - 11:30am UTC / 6:30am EST'


Now the OP posted on CrytoTalk that they are watching the wallet run. I guess the  3% pre-mine was not enough or they are doing the 3% pre-minning now.

If the launch time is revised to launch early than the original time mentioned, why is the coin not launched yet? What does this mean, "I'm looking at the Windows QT wallet right now running on my PC."?

Is this coin dead/not started yet?
If the original dev still reads forums, please contact me - I left you a PM. I find this idea cool to reboot this project, but with completly different approach to it.

I like the idea of FurCoin per-se, if you need help, I maybe can assist.

Thanks,
