Giving back to the community

What?
GiveBackCoin is a semi-rare, multi-algorithm coin that aims to give back to the many supporters of the alt-coin community.

When?
 Launched May 15, 2014 @ 00:00 GMT

Specifications
Forked from: Myriadcoin
PoW: Scrypt/SHA256D/Qubit/Skein/Groestl
Block Time: 3.75 minutes (about 45 seconds per algorithm)
Total Coins: 7,001,155
Block Rewards: Starting at 10 GIV
Block Halving: Every 1 month, stopping at 1.25 coins/block (4 months). After 7 years, stop generating coins.
Difficulty: Weighted per algorithm, adjusted each block
Premine: 1% (see Premine section below)
P2P Port: 8811
RPC Port: 8911

How it works
Each proof of work algorithm has its own independent difficulty.
Any algorithm can find the next block.
All the algorithms use the same difficulty adjustment method.
On average, each algorithm has the same chance of finding the next block.
Each algorithm aims for a block generation time of 3.75 minutes.
Over the five algorithms, a block should be found on average every 45 seconds.

Premine
A total of 1% of the total supply of coins has been premined (about 70,000). This will be distributed to qualified individuals and organizations in the following way:
Coin Creators (25%) - Any alt-coin development team with at least 1 month on an exchange and with at least a 1000 satoshi value. To be eligible, you must be able to PM us using the original BitcoinTalk forum handle you used to post the ANN thread with.
Pool Operators (25%) - Multi-pools offering payout in the form of one or more alt-coins.
Coin Promoters (bounties) (25%) - Will be divided up as per below.
Coin Team (25%) - The remainder will be distributed amoungst our development team for their effort.
WE ARE OFFERING A HEFTY BOUNTY TO A QUALIFIED WEB APPLICATION DEVELOPER FOR AN IDEA WE HAVE PLANNED. PLEASE PRIVATE MESSAGE US TO APPLY.

Bounties
All bounties share the 25% from the Coin Promoters premine section. They are divided as follows:
30% - Exchanges
30% - Block explorer
30% - Pools
10% - Graphics and Website

Thanks for the support. A quick update. We are in need of a nicer logo and a few other things. The bounties for these will be paid out at launch if anyone wants to work on any of them.

I'm sorry you feel that way, but we have learned from our past mistakes and will do what we can to make sure this coin succeeds. We have a reputable organization willing to host our official pool at launch, as well as in negotiation for exchange listings soon after launch. The rarity of this coin, the developers behind it, and their plans for its future make it an opportunity for a try at the very least. Thank you for your comment though.

Post by: GiveBackCoin on May 01, 2014, 04:53:12 PM
No, there is no IPO. A coin with premine gets bad enough of a reputation. We understand that people have got burned before and wanted to offer as little risk to all involved while still being able to give back to those who put a lot of effort into the community. With that said, you could try fulfilling one of our bounty offers for a nice chunk of coinage, as this is a semi-rare coin and a very nice chunk to receive.

Just wanted to give a heads up that we have already 1 pool for each algorithm for the bounty. There is room for more if anyone wants to run a GIV pool for launch.

Quick update: Bounties have been claimed for graphics, website, and pools. We will no longer be paying out for these. Side note: Premine dispersion has been slightly changed to be more fair. Let us know what you like/dislike. Preparing for the big day next week!

Title: Re: [ANN] [GIV] GiveBackCoin - Giving Back To The Community
Post by: GiveBackCoin on May 08, 2014, 11:44:22 PM
Due to community feedback we have changed the block halving algorithm.

Coins generated will start at 10 coins per block.
Every month this will half as follows:
1st month: 10 coins
2nd month: 5 coins
3rd month: 2.5 coins
4th month: 1.25 coins
and then 1.25 coins for 7 years.

This will give an incentive for early adopters and also make the coin more rare.

You should add algo=scrypt (all lowercase) if you are mining to your wallet directly (solo mining) and want to mine scrypt.

Our Windows developer is sleeping right now, but it shouldn't be too hard to compile it on your own if you require this extra layer of caution. I can assure you there is no virus or malware though.

Okay no worries, I'll do it at launch. I'm sure there is no malware, its just best practice to scan everything.

A couple of announcements. We are still working on getting an exchange running. Shouldn't be too much longer, as some are already interested. Also we have distributed the premine to the developers, for the bounties, and to various people helping users out in the IRC channel. I just wanted to take a moment to say that the developers are willing to give up a lot of their premine and give it away to those who sign up on our official pool and mine for 24 hours. Just join #givebackcoin for details. Thanks a lot :)

Just curious how this is different from Myriad?  Only difference I see is the halving time/reward...

There are a lot of similarities with Myriad being that it is a fork, but there are some major differences too. It was optimized to retarget better for algorithms. Also what this coin has going for it is its long-term goals. The devs are in the process of teaming up with another well-known coin to help the crypto community out (more info soon). Also the devs have been giving their share of the premine away for even more bounties (ask about it in the channel). The devs are definitely not scamming anyone and are truly giving back to the community in multiple ways, and have received nothing but praise from its followers thus far due to the fact.

Seeing as how you've comented on other Myriad forks, I'm going to take a guess and say you are not one of our followers. Perhaps you can give it a chance and support us to achieve our goals in helping the crypto community as a whole, rather than competing amoungst coins, similar or not.

Well said... and knowing how talented and dedicated this team is, I'm sure you will not have any issues achieving those long-term goals.  I think it is refreshing to see coins grow from and alongside other coins, it is the true embodiment of crypto evolution.

BTC/GIV market is now live on Bittrex! Some advice to all, buy it up while it's a low price. Block halving is going to make it even more rare soon!

Sure but we've already been burned like this. We would have to monitor your blog post and see if it gets any followers. Not that we don't trust you :) Just hard to trust anyone when giving away coins for nothing in return. Promote us and thou shall be paid. I will be away for a few hours. Sleep time for me. Other dev might be in IRC channel tonight.

I asked him to take it down. He was using NOMP, the same stratum we use, which is why we do not have Groestl. It's not supported on that. DedicatedPool will be adding us shortly.

Also, you will receive a referral bonus on top of that for each friend you refer to the pool. PM us here or on IRC to get credit.

Something up with groestl today?  I can solo scrypt and qubit but tried switching to groestl and wasn't getting any WU.  It worked fine yesterday.  Ideas?

<<<<  Forget it.  I restarted the wallet and sgminer and all is well again.  Weird, but working.

<<<<  Forget it.  I restarted the wallet and sgminer and all is well again.  Weird, but working.

What Kernal do you use to mine groestl?   I set it to groestlcoin but I wasn't entirely sure it was working as I've not yet experienced Groestl mining, nor solo mining  but I like how it runs on my old gaming card, nice and cool with good hash!!  
Didn't really leave it on long tho, had to go out then sleep so I went back to scrypt!!!

Playin with Solo mining a little for experience before difficulty gets higher!!

Edit:  It seems like its working, but I get "No suitable long-poll found"   So that doesn't sound good to me!

Edit 2:  Here's my little batch file that I have so far, maybe you can tell me if it looks ok:
"setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
sgminer.exe -k groestlcoin -o localhost:8911 -u schmotto.1 -p Waffle -I 16 -g 1 -w 256 --scan-time 1"

It's hashing well and I get these 2 messages only in the sgminer cmd window
"New block detected on network
Network diff set too X"

GIV Disappeared from bittrex. What's going on?

Unfortunately, not many people were buying it considering all the miners. I guess they are smart and holding it for when it becomes more rare. As for an exchange, if there is demand, one will surface.

it can be traded at cryptex: https://cryptex.biz/market/67
