          (interview starts at about minute 21)

          PODCOIN is the new unofficial currency of the digital broadcasting community. Its creation was inspired by
          Adam Carolla and his battle to fight the patent trolls who threaten to destroy podcasting as
          we know it! With the goal of uniting the podcast community and supplementing Adam's legal
          defense fund, PODCOIN has been introduced as a creative fundraising effort and micropayment platform.

          Technical Details:
          Algorithm: SHA256
          Symbol : PDC changed to POD
          Max Coins: 42,000,000 PDC POD
          Block time: 10 minutes
          Subsidy halves every 210,000 blocks
          Block Rewards: 100 coins per block
          Difficulty Re-Target Time: 7 days

          Pre-mine: * 0.059% 0.064% (25,000 26,999 PDC POD to test things out, and all of which were donated to the
          Adam Carolla fund)
           *There was initially a miscommunication about the pre-mined amount. Sorry about that.

Thanks, loader.

Well, I'm disappointed that this coin's launch didn't go the way I had hoped... once we get a blockchain explorer, I'll see if this was insta-mined by just one or two people and I will make sure they donate a bunch of their coins to the Adam Carolla fund.

why?
You think this is fair?
Whose fault it?
The miner's fault it?

Due to technical difficulties neither of the two mining pools were fully operational at launch... and like with any altcoin, fair distribution is important. If the large number of coins that were being mined at launch were getting mined by several different solo miners, then I'm perfectly happy. I hope that clarifies my thoughts on the matter.

Also... my antminer crapped out and I wasn't even able to mine my own coin!  :o Can anyone sell me some of their PODCOIN for some LTC, BTC, or other cryptos? PM me! Thanks!

premined clone coin that offers nothing ?
TAKE MY MONEY MONEY !

i hope you get arrested for fraud kid..

I'm one of the most honest people you will ever come across, actually. I'm absolutely not a fraud. Yes, the coin is a clone with no new technical features, but you could say that about 90% of the altcoins. It offers an opportunity for podcasters and their listeners to have a devoted currency, and it centers around a legal defense fund for Adam Carolla; if that qualifies as offering nothing in your eyes, so be it.

Also, I'm 29 years old... how old are *you*, kid?  :P

*bump*

PODCOIN is being followed on Twitter by Adam Carolla's "Superfan" Giovanni, Ten Minute Podcast, and some other big names in digital media. Maybe you should follow too?  :)

Any idea when a block explorer will be available? I imagine that will be needed in order to get on an exchange.

We still need a block explorer and a mac wallet, and those bounties are still good! PODCOIN will be available at an exchange in less than 24 hours, so please help out! Thanks!

just a heads up. OP got this coin from coin creating website.

take this information as you will

any node? Not sync!

Sorry for the technical difficulties, I'll try to get a seednode active again ASAP!

And bitwho... just a heads up: if you dislike PODCOIN so much, stop posting on this thread. Nobody likes a forum troll.

Now trading on www.cryptorush.in (http://cryptorush.in) !

Sweet! Thanks, Perwol!

My PODcoin wallet will not sych past 10720 blocks - about 5 days ago. Is there any fix for this? I have tried recreating the blockchain from scratch and it still does not synch past 10720 blocks.

The problem is that the difficulty is very high and the network hashrate is very low, hence blocks are not getting solved and transactions are not confirming. People were mining it like crazy and then moved on. The difficulty should readjust soon.

 Difficulty Re-Target Time: 7 days

^ thats your problem.  Anyone releasing a coin should know not to have a coin that retargets like this by now.

Thanks! Much appreciated!

I'm looking for less known coins , that haven't yet hit the news , but still have some potential , cons that have stayed below radar for most people or have become more or less abandoned. Are there still things going on with this?

I am mining this coin but don't see a lot going on with it at the moment. Could be I am mistaken or could be it is due for a resurrection. It could use a block explorer (if it doesn't already have one) to be added to any of the bigger exchanges.

Well , the op was here around Last Active:   March 15, 2014, 11:49:55 PM  , but there are very few people around.

I have noticed that it is starting to trade on cryptorush.in a bit more and a bit higher in the last couple of days. Things may be starting to pick up.

Indeed! There's a new wallet coming out very shortly with a hard fork, so stay tuned. I recommend following me on Twitter.
