Title: [ANN] Boomcoin | BMC | Scrypt Cryptocurrency | No Premine | No Instamine
Post by: argutus on January 27, 2014, 03:19:55 AM
Boomcoin (BMC) is a new cryptocurrency created to be a fair and stable experience for everyone, unlike many cryptocurrencies lately. Our goal is to release a scrypt cryptocurrency with an active community, and therefore starting off without a premine or instamine.

Specifications:
Algorithm: Scrypt
Initial Block Reward: 1200 BMC
Block Time: 3 minutes
Total Coins: 210,240,000
Last Coin Produced: Ten years
Halving Rate: 87,600 blocks (Six Months)


First week bonus:
In order to draw in interest, we are starting the coin off with a small bonus for people who mine in the first week
We are not making it large enough to cause an instamine
First 2 days: * 0.7 < block 961
Next 2 days: * 0.8 < block 1921
next 3 days: * 0.9 < block 3361


Release Schedule:
Release Date: Saturday, February 1st at 5:00pm EST
Also, the source is complete, but I need help compiling this for different OSes, if you can help out, please message me
If you can help setup a node, please message me


If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to comment or message me!

More info coming soon!


Sorry everyone, the release is currently stopped for the time being. I am completely rewriting the code with some new features. I promise to ressurect this coin sometime in the future, but the new features will take a while to code. I am not creating a definite release date! Sorry again!

How about you make first day or few hours blockreward to be lower, like 10.
Otherwise big miners take over network, small solominers get only rejects and pool goes down.
We have seen that so many times.

We have an announcement area for new coins. Why is it so hard to follow simple rules. All for new coins but damn it put it in the right sections.

I probably won't be able to do much in terms of mining this myself, however, I've sent the OP a PM regarding compiling a linux wallet & setting up my VPS as a node.

Happy Mining on this one, folks!
