Title: [ANN] AmKoin (AmK) - SHA-256 KIMOTO'S GRAVITY WELL! 23 MAX COINS! NO PREMINE!

ORIGINAL LAUNCH ANNOUNCEMENT FEB 8, 2014: https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/4678-ann-amkoin-amk/

AMKOIN (AmK)

This coin is in honor of the conspiracy theory website Amerikan Konspiracy (www.amkon.net) on its sixth consecutive year of operation.

This coin is intended to be EDUCATIONAL. I purposefully did not release a Windows installation set for the first week, forcing users to compile by hand. I specifically launched this coin on Twitter with COMPLETE build instructions for Windows to help people learn how to compile Windows Qt wallets. Nothing motivates people like a rare coin.

We had one disaster already.  Something stupid on my part.  Everything is fixed now and it's all good.

This is the first SHA-256D crypto to implement Kimoto's Gravity Well successfully.  Designing SHA-256D coins around difficulty retargets is now a thing of the past.

This coin is designed to benefit smaller pools due to the small block reward, high transaction fees, and long block times.  The more pools the merrier.

It is a long haul coin, designed to last.  Don't expect to hit a block all the time and don't expect it to hit an exchange any time soon.

It's designed to be a store of value, not something that you buy groceries with.

This coin was launched (and re-launched) on CPUs.  I included complete, step-by-step compiling instructions for Windows and Ubuntu (Mac is coming).  People compiled their own wallets who have never programmed before. People figured out how to solo mine who had never mined a coin before. 

I have the screenshots they sent me to celebrate.

In three years if those people keep those wallets safe they will have something they will treasure.

I have no idea what the value of this coin is.  I don't think anyone does.

It also compiles fine under Ubuntu 13.10, 12.10, and 12.0.4.  That's a new one. Thanks!

I C&P'd that bit from the CCT thread.  I figured Linux people should be smart enough to compile their own clients in 2m or they should be running OSX.  ;)
