Bawbeecoin is an altcoin inspired by the 2014 Scottish Independence Referendum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_independence_referendum,_2014) and it's currency woes (http://www.scotsman.com/scottish-independence/key-topic/currency/).

The original Bawbee was an ancient coin minted in Scotland from 1538 to 1677 and spanning the reigns of King James V of Scotland, Mary Queen of Scots and William II of Scotland.

Guys, this is an awesome coin of the spring:

No pre-mining
Wallet/daemon for Windows/Linux released prior to launch in password protected zip files

But it's impossible, so I guess it's April fools day coin, because no-premining will cause password delays and HUGE instamine.

Why not possible? - isn't this just a case of compiling a Linux and Windows wallet/daemon and putting it in a password protected zip file, say 24 hrs before launch then posting the password on here at launch time. Save people a bit of time downloading.

Not a National coin, anyone can mine, anyone can own. Just a political statement against a government that thinks it has the right to control money. This is the beauty of Bitcoin/Altcoins - it can not be controlled by governments, central banks or corporations.

It is really just another Altcoin though, aren't they all?

What we need is a currency for every family. Even pets should have their own. And what about all the parasites?

Btw, Bawbeecoin...

Why am I making this coin?

1. To learn more about Bitcoin and Litecoin. I have been following Bitcoin since 2011 and was initially interested in how it bypasses central banks, government and corporations, not it's current speculative nature. As a tech, reading the Wiki and browsing the source code will not teach me anything. I am the kind of person that needs to take something apart and rebuild it to find out how it works - I have learnt a lot.

While I and many other alt-coin creators are not doing anything new, some of us are learning the technology and many people are making small incremental improvements which may feed back to Litecoin or Bitcoin. While 99% of alt coins will probably be worthless in a few years, it all pushes the technology forward and develops skills in a new technology that will only become more and more mainstream and require more developers, evangelists and entrepreneurs.

2. A political statement. I was motivated to make this coin when the main UK political parties threatened that an independent Scotland would not be able to continue using the pound and could not enter a currency union (they have since backtracked). I am simply trying to demonstrate that there is an alternative to centrally controlled and manipulated fiat currencies and to show how easy it would be to set something up or to just lead people to Bitcoin or Litecoin.

3. Childish comedic value. Bawbee (pronounced boaby), BAWs, Baw bag - brush up on your Scottish slang if you don't get it. Well, it tickles me. I am just doing this for laughs.

4. Because I Efing can.

PS: Please people, this is not a country coin. Anyone is more than welcome to give this coin a go, no restrictions, allocations, air drops or pre-mining for that matter.

As a Scot and a YES voter in Sept, I wouldnae even look at yon pish if it wis free

Nor "scotcoin"

You really expect anyone to take a coin seriously or even contemplate using it named "bawbee"? get a grip min

Before you start ranting on about the banks, I am fully aware of the imposing situation, but this coin is a joke, widnae piss on it if it wis on fire
