GeoCoins are simple, geocaching-themed, virtual “coins” or “tokens.” They are designed to be easy to create, easy to collect and easy to share with your friends! At their most simple, GeoCoins will allow you to send and receive virtual GeoCoins encoded with short personal messages.

Overall, they're super cool, and I'd like to spread the word about them.
Post your Geocoin address below and I'll send you 10 coins.

Before anyone gets too excited, there were 1 million premined and they are NOT EVER going to go on an exchange so don't start mining them like crazy.

I know! They're absolutely worthless! But they're cool because of puzzle potential and you can attach messages to tx!
I'm also currently controlling 100% of the network, with my CPU. :P

Well, wow. The network hashps is now at 43064511. It was at 5000 earlier.

 ;D You're fine, and I'll kick in 1000 per addy if people *really want them and to keep instamining away (too late). They are meant to be easy to mine with the built-in miner, but like all scrypt coins they could be diff stranded if some zealot decides to point uber-MH/s at them, which is why they've NEVER been ANN'd here & why I stress that they are worthless aside from the nerdiness in them.

GeoCoins are my personal project to learn more about these coins and most of the innovations are bits I've picked up from the other devs and have made it in to my later coins. Happy coining.

THIS is why they haven't ever been launched here.

Please note that if they get diff stranded, I reserve the right to reset the block chain.

OK. Thanks for making the coin though. I'm going to put some private keys in a geocache.

Its where a bunch of miners jump on and ratchet the diff up on a coin simply because they think its "worth" mining or " the next big thing." GeoCoins are NOT the next big thing. They have been around for nearly 3 months and were doing just fine without being posted on this board.

Although I've made changes to prevent diff stranding, its still a possibility given the army of mindless-miners here so I'll say it again. MINERS have already 4x'd the diff on these. If it goes up high enough I can't mine them with a CPU anymore to bring it back down, I will reset the blockchain and that means everyone's GeoCoins go bye bye.

Not every coin needs to be collected by every miner. My 10K per addy still stands though, if you want some, don't rape-mine it and I'll send you a huge chunk.  ;D

Right on, that's what they are for. In fact, version 3.0 I'm nearly done with will let you do exactly this via the QR codes in the coin.  ;D

Oh. So if a ton of people rape it, then stop mining, the difficulty is so high a CPU can't find a block so the diff never goes down? Ouch.
I'll also take that 10K. GiVKAe8YJvrQemqJpz7TDbH6kexmcvpMYd

Correct. Now, this is GeoCoin v.2, so the diff adjustment isn't as bad as v1, where it could go up 4x over 2000 blocks. This one adjusts much less, and much quicker. A few MH/s isn't going to kill it, but GH/s could--and there are some people on this board that can put those numbers up.

Just so everyone knows, GeoCoins are not worth mining like a mad-man. I'd rather GIVE away huge blocks of them if you're actually going to use/collect them so everyone can continue mining them with a CPU :D

Bollox, i don't have my wallet on this laptop so I can't post my address.

Reserving space for future claims I guess.

I want Geocoins!!!

This one is missing from my collection :) Thanks  :)

Cool. Got em.. thank you!

Where's that mining interface in the qt client from? Is that from Litecoin (don't have that one...)

Introduced in Litecoin, yeah, it's a simple CPU miner. Most scrypt based coins have it, beyond initial release it's not usually any good though, being constrained to CPU only that it is.

You're welcome. GeoCoin is a "foocoin" clone, which in turn was SMC and going back further LTC 0.6.3. I have also integrated the bits from FLO for tx messaging. I've been contemplating making it infinitely diff 0, but dunno yet, its still a work in progress and the QR stuff has been at the top of my list recently.

It's from the original Bitcoin client, back when BTC could be mined with a CPU.
Sent to Snail2, BTW.

I'd recommend everyone mine. We need to get the difficulty back down.

Fixed that for you. :)

Yes. Thank you. That's what I'm currently doing. 10,000 measly hashes per second on my CPU.

A funny coin.. I see that blocks are going up at around 20 per minute, also difficulty just doubled, but the 30 GEO you sent still have 0 confirmations...

Yeah. Some asshat is mining at 27 MH/s and not including any tx.

Nah, no 27MH/s, diff should go up in 60 block increments (and down too). Just remember those of you mining, these coins are WORTHLESS by design. If you like the idea behind the coin, go ahead and mine it. If you don't understand that, go mine something else.

Oh, what the heck:

But why are the confirmations missing there?

Looks like the asshat miner isn't including tx.

Hmm... Guess it's just being slow. Some of my TX were confirmed.
I guess the god miner is including transactions after all.

never been announced apart from the link in your signature in every one of your posts, I mined a few back in May sometime out of curiosity...

Did you put any in a geocache?

Nice, thanks for taking the time to actually look at my site and mine a few of these!

Speaking of which, the download page 404's. I was about to link to it on a new cache.

I am mining with 6300hps but no blocks since 30 mins...

Sorry. Just keep mining with your CPU, you'll eventually get one.

It looked like the site was having some trouble.
I have posted mirrors.

and i thought i was the only one with the wallet@!

I'm currently on a brief vacation, so I'll send all those requested coins when I get back.
The GeoCoin blockchain is currently a little stranded, so confirmations are taking a while. To everyone who's requesting coins, remember to mine a little with your CPU. You'll probably get a block after a couple of hours.

You're a better steward of my coin that I am!

I have 5000 Geocoin. What to do with them?
