I'm launching ZOMBIECOIN [ZMB] soon.

You can find out more at http://www.zombie-coin.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.

Zombiecoin is one of three coins I made. The other two are [VMP] VAMPIRECOIN and [LYC] LYCANCOIN. They can be found at http://www.vampirecoin.org and http://www.lycancoin.org, respectively.

***Additional Information***

RELEASE DATE: NOW LIVE

First off, YES!, Zombiecoin is another altcoin based on Litecoin sourcecode. However, I didn’t create Zombiecoin 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.

Zombiecoin is part of a three coin set which includes Lycancoin and Vampirecoin. 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.

Zombiecoin Specifications:
- 2 hour block difficulty retargeting
- 2.5 minute block target
- 6 confirmations for transactions

- 102 coins per block

i like zombiecoin the most  ;D

nobody has a date ... all say soon :)
what do u mean by soon ?

Releasing 3 coins at once. No details. All generic clones.

Unless you're actually going to support these coins for years to come, and actively develop them, don't bother please.

I've updated the original post with more information.

I'm thinking either Wednesday or Saturday (12th or 15th).

OP Updated - Release date set for Saturday, February 15, 2014 @ 2:00 pm PST.

- I've finished compiling the APP for folks with Macs.

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!

Woo~ I like Zombie  :o

Also, not original.

Yep, just mine ZED.  nothing unique here.

Yeah, sorry, just you and 3 coins? I just don't feel like you will make any development towards it. There is already a zombie coin as others have pointed out, Zed, and it has active development :/

It's cool and all that you say you are doing this for your daughter for fun or something, but there's too many coins flooding the market already for just random ones to be thrown around.

The Zombiecoin Mining Pool is open for Pre-registration at Major Miners: http://zmb.majorminers.com/

Get ready for the big launch this Saturday. Zombiecoin cannot be killed. Even if it was, it would rise to walk again.  ;D

Alright! Zombiecoin is set to MOVE. Get your Pre-registration on and be one of the first to mine for Zombiecoin.

You have noticed how popular Zombies are, haven't you? Imagine the type of people who will love this altcoin.

Halloween costume shops can take ZMB in their stores. You get the idea  ;D

Added to Cryptocoins Calendar (http://www.cryptocoinscalendar.com/). Good luck with the launch.

ZED already done

No premine! Dedicated Dev. Done for a 5 year old! Zombiecoin is the sleeper Altcoin of 2014.
 
Pre-register today to begin mining tomorrow. http://zmb.majorminers.com/
 
After the Zombie Apocalypse, this is the only currency that will matter.

Yup, this coin needs a lot more attention, it's been working great.

so why you just do not delete chain data after testing? Because it is premined. Is it so hard to test something at own rig and then start from beginning? I do not think so.

What's technically unique about this coin?

I just really want to know, why is not able to delete all test data and start with clean blockchain.

ZED just hit 1000 satoshi. We are far from done, and there is at least one big announcement in the near future.
People are free to launch whatever coin they like, there are no "copyrights" on open source, and I wish this coin the best.
Cheers,
Kilo

You keep creating shitty coins on a whim inspired b a toddler. Why should we take this seriously ?

"ZombieCoin - the only coin that's already dead"  :-X

lolz

I run a business...I'm not going to buy goods or sell goods for "zombiecoin" "kitteh" or "crap".  Just not professional.

All coins in the last few months are kids making copy & past pump and dumbs hoping to capitalize on popularity for a few bucks.

All these new coins are doing is hurting the legitimacy of alt-coins and crypto currency in general.

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 2:00 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!

thanks for the laugh!  :D

i will be mining it

ZED > Zombie

Things are looking good for today's launch! Zombiecoin is sure to be a winner. Pre-register now to start mining at launch: http://zmb.majorminers.com/
 
Check out our official announcement about our Mining Pool here on our Cryptocointalk forum.

the coin with the best slogan: the coin that's already dead!

let's mine :D

so?

windows client not working

You say it isn't premined.... But it IS premined.

Ever heard of a test net?

It's premined.

What's your error? I just checked and it works on clean windows 7 & 8 machines.

its working for me...

Worked ok for me on Win7

confirm. premined 200+ blocks :)
dev mentioned that in the topic
quit again, solo impossible @start.
sorry, dev, good luck with this coin

Windows Wallet don't sync.
if the Lycan and Vampire coins wallet will be the same you can shove those wallets up to your... ehhh you know what to do.

I mined somewhere between 170sh and 270sh depending on the coin. It was necessary to test the transactions; testnet isn't that reliable for release.

If I kept those coins, they'd have to increase in value to 3 cents each just to cover the basic development costs; not to mention the ongoing monthly cost.

My plan was to give them back out.

Just like with Vampirecoin, I'll give two blocks worth (204 coins) to the first 25 people who post their Zombiecoin wallet addresses. That will eat up 50 blocks right there.

I'll have to send them later tonight after Lycancoin launches and I have some breathing time.

As for the high difficulty, I don't know what else to do. There's just a lot of hashing power out there that gets directed to these coins at launch.

Did you place the zombiecoin.conf in your /roaming/zombiecoin folder?

If not, go ahead and do that or edit your /roaming/zombiecoin/zombiecoin.conf file and add the following nodes:

162.243.113.175
192.241.156.162
64.34.219.14
69.172.229.153

So these coins are for fun and for your five year old daughter who likes monsters? Not meant to be on an exchange ever? Why do people mine it then?

Are the miners having much fun now? This is not my definition of fun.

Sorry for being a dick, but can we please stop destroying the altcoinmarket with these "fun" coins for 5 year old daughters?

Please keep it in the family next time.

No exchange = no hashpower

+100

Thanks in advance ... here is my wallet:

You've put more effort and have ended up with a higher quality product than most of the coins that have come out in the last few months.

Some people are bitter about anything that isnt BTC, LTC, or XPM.  

BFLJosh and other do have a point, but until someone actually comes out with something actually innovative in the altcoin world, its clones with new pictures for all.

Dont blame the devs, blame the people who keep buying them at 10-100x what a miner can get with LTC.

And spending time with your daughter and making her a little crypto-nerd seems to be better purpose than the other Scrypt coins :)

why is there a zmb/usd on major miners if there are no exhcanges?

I like zombies and I'm interested about this coin. Here's my addy

ZVQoSPMveBE2QHeyv2cxm9nVSn4CbfXecn

Thanks for the ZMB.  :)

But this coin looks more serious, well planned and more professional than other coins that recently launched IMHO.

If you like zombies, and want to mine and sell, why not mine the original zombie apocalypse coin? It's on two exchanges and has cooperation with game developers.

*shrug*

That's 5 of 25 (someone posted their Zombiecoin wallet in the Lycancoin thread-counted it though)

BRAINS~!  :D

@dev: your Mac OS X wallet misses all the dependencies as it has not been deployed. Your version will not run on any system but the one you compiled it on.
