I'm launching VAMPIRECOIN [VMP] soon.

You can find out more at http://www.vampirecoin.org

My daughter inspired me to create these for fun. The code is done and I'm trying to decide on a release date. Any suggestions on a fair release date would be welcomed.

I'll post more details later today but there's NO PREMINE; with the exception of a couple hundred blocks to test it out.

Vampirecoin is one of three coins I made. The other two are [ZMB] ZOMBIECOIN and [LYC] LYCANCOIN. They can be found at http://www.zombie-coin.org and http://www.lycancoin.org, respectively.

***Additional Information***

RELEASE DATE: NOW LIVE


First off, YES!, Vampirecoin is another altcoin based on Litecoin sourcecode. However, I didn’t create Vampirecoin as a ‘pump and dump’, get rich scheme and I hope the lack of premine (other than a couple hundred blocks for testing) proves that.

Vampirecoin is part of a three coin set which includes Zombiecoin and Lycancoin. All coins are identical in coding and only vary in the number of coins per block. I created these coins primarily because my five year old daughter loves all things monster (especially zombies, werewolves and vampires) and we thought it would be fun.

Vampirecoin, Zombiecoin & Lycancoin were created with initial block coin generation ratios of 1:17:495, respectively. The initial per-block generation rates are 6 Vampirecoins, 102 Zombiecoins and 2970 Lycancoins. I’m curious to find out if the long term mining dedication for these coins varies from these initial ratios.

Even though these coins were created for fun, I’ve done my best to be as serious about their success as I can. Each coin has a dedicated website and I’ve setup dedicated nodes to support each of them. If the coins pick up in popularity, I will continue to add nodes as needed.

Vampirecoin Specifications:
- 2 hour block difficulty retargeting
- 2.5 minute block target

we will put out hashing power just for fun !!!!
are you serious !!

Thanks! I'm absolutely serious.

I'm doing this for fun so I have no plans to pump and dump the coin.

Updated the original post.

Soon is either Wednesday or Saturday (12th or 15th). The files are completed, it's just a matter of uploading them to the site and making the github.com source public.

Thank you! I've updated the first post with your information and added you to the website.

Updated OP - Release date set for Saturday, February 15, 2014 - 12:00 pm PST

- I will be releasing the APP for folks with Macs.

The code targets 576 blocks per day or 3,456 coins per day. The reward will halve every 800k blocks and difficulty adjusts every 2 hours.

This means roughly 48% of the coins will be mined at the end of 2017; 95% by the end of 2036.

This one will suck you dry folks!!! ;)

Vampirecoin Mining Pool is open for pre-registration. Get ready to mine on Saturday, February 15th. 2014.

Pre-register now (even blood suckers are welcome!)

http://vmp.majorminers.com/

can you add a countdown please as I am in the UK and too lazy to work out time diffrence.

Update - I've updated the installation instructions on the website for folks running a Mac to include how to install the necessary dependencies required to run the client.
 
If this is your first go around with running Bitcoin, Litecoin or any altcoin on a Mac then I'd recommend you try pre-loading the dependencies now.
Please let me know if there's any errors or problems following the tutorial.
Thanks!

Every counter I add get's removed when I save the OP. I think Bitcointalk may be blocking them...

"Timer removed. End time: 2013-09-01+00:00:00UTC"

All the files are completed and packaged - ready for distribution/upload.
 
I've updated the OP with links to the clients and source code.
 
I'll upload the clients to the website at 12:00 pm PST tomorrow. I'll also make the github.com repository public at the same time so you can download the source code if you like.
 
The nodes are all configured and running - ready to get to work.
 
If you're running a pool, please let me know what other information you'll need beyond the daemon.
 
Thanks to everyone interested in seeing this project launch successfully!

im in the uk and its 12 now.  how many hours?

im 8 hrs in front must be the 1st one to the party lol

The creator of zombiecoin and this dev is having a pissing contest ;D

they are the same dev

Only 47 minutes to Launch! Pre-register now: http://vmp.majorminers.com/

All systems are go and this looks to be a smooth and fair launch.

Vampirecoin - to the Moon! :D

It's 11:05 PST, still about 55 minutes to go.

I took down the nodes temporarily but they'll be back up at 12:00 PST.

pool are already mining? lol?

One of the pools started an hour early.

I can't get a hold of the pool operator so I've released the files and source code. My fault - flame on!

Yes, flame on - if you're a troll.

If you're a normal person, set your miners to mine and get digging!  ;D http://vmp.majorminers.com/

These one has low difficulty, so blocks are being found quickly. Get moving!

Just as an advice
If your server had crappy bandwidth limit then host clients elsewhere

bullshit
go and kill yourself

Hi. I'm the pool operator that started early. I made a mistake because of PST. I'm in EST and I was off by one hour.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

;D ;D ;D
Hello, i'm the one who fucked you in the ass
sorry for the inconvenience

FUCK YOU! Asshole. blacklisted.

another clueless dev giving source to pools before releasing windows qt

never give the source to anyone until the coin is released....pools have to wait

1/6th of the block reward as a TX fee? Really?

ffs how many times have you said that before

NEVER GIVE SOURCE TO ANYONE BEFORE RELEASE TIME... POOLS ARE THE BIGGEST SCAMMERS NOW


How many times to tell devs this, many coins destoyed in the last week by pools starting early..

I asked for the binary before hand - an hour or so - because when I launched with Antimatter coin it didn't work.

I was just trying to set it up on time so it worked at launch. I was off by one hour on the launch, and I'm very sorry for that.

There was little - if any - interest in this coin prior to this so-called 'controversy.'

Mistakes can - and do -happen. Whether the 'community' here can ever forgive me - only time will tell.

im on your pool but only logged in a few mins before 8. so missed out on early mine boooo

you will probably miss all your coins too, the sort of pool to start early will likely scam a load of coins from miners too

Sorry. My only defense is I'm human. I made a mistake and I apologize.  There's only been around 600 blocks so there's still plenty of time to mine.

Don't worry, you'll lose half of your coins to fees when you transfer out

Sure enough the pool vmp.majorminers.com did start way before the official launch. Looks like some solo miner were also mining and they were up to block 630 before launch.

majorminer, i can't unlock my account, email don't arrive, fix it plz

Since it wasn't stated, I assume this is just another Scrypt coin right?
Either way, include it in first post........

scam

lets see on another two one`s, but dev`s reputation is hit by that nice person (or a friend?)
i'm out

Since it wasn't stated, I assume this is just another Scrypt coin right?
Either way, include it in first post........

You also can't put in a payout address on this pool.

Sorry about the screw up, I should have put a countdown timer.


I have some coins from the original blocks I mined to test everything out. I had thought about giving them out as bounties but I can give some out here.


I'll send 2 blocks worth (12 Vampirecoins) to the first 25 folks who post their wallets here.

here is mine

VEdRvfu4aJb1nf9FU3i97jpJxLUKcEcUx2

my wallet is not synching?

Make sure you have vampirecoin.conf in \roaming\vampirecoin\

thanks.  don't listen to the haters.  you launched three coins much more smoothly than coins such as maxcoin

here is my wallet:

VCQGZPcn3ZvpUoGxBxctydajdURM3R4U94

cool thanks working now

Did you add the nodes to the vampirecoin.conf file? There's a readme in each of the downloads which walks you through installation.

Assuming you have a Windows client, you need to copy the vampirecoin.conf file from the download to your roaming/vampirecoin folder.

Just type %appdata% in the run command box and it will take you to the roaming folder.

Make sure you vampire.conf file has the following nodes:

addnode=107.170.247.9
addnode=69.90.132.183
addnode=69.172.229.205
addnode=76.74.219.185

One of the nodes is hard coded in all of the clients but it doesn't sync as quick as addnode.

BTW When encrypting the wallet its saying 'sicklecoins'?

Seems right. Can't reply there anymore.

Any word about what's going on?

I'm guessing that the OP has been busy with family stuff. Y'know... Staking people, eating brains, tearing up stuff... :)
