Dobbscoin is NOT a "Pre-mined as much in the First Block as were created the first six months",
'mega coin' like people seem to want.. it's not that misspelled Japanese animal meme that everyone told you *YOU NEED*

It's an honest to goodness, unattractive to pumping and dumping, long term, good faith crypto currency,
with an actual longstanding community - like people always pretend they allegedly want.

Mandatory UPGRADE (Hard Fork) Required @ Block 31597
Something just had to be changed, in the way (BOB) does it's Math..

PLEASE UPGRADE YOUR WALLETS - or else be unable to sync with the network after block #31597.

If you don't upgrade your wallet, the transactions you create by sending and receiving (BOB) will not be recognized by the network

As you may be well aware.. we've been having a problem with LONG BLOCKS, caused by EXTREMLY HIGH DIFFICULTY brought on by 'The Conspiracy' & drive-by-hashers, throwing it at us, and then going away: This is about to be rectified. We're calling the solution DobbsShield, as it's an implementation of the same technology other coins use, and was originally developed under the name DigiShield.

(BOB) makes an average of 144 BLOCKS a day, one ever ten minutes,

and each one is worth 50 (BOB); this will not change.

We're implementing DobbsShield after experiencing the grave consequences which drive by hashers ..or maybe even multi-pools posed to us when they start mining (BOB) at a very low difficulty in relation to the net/pool hash, which - for a short time allows many coins to be quickly and easily mined before the difficulty increases.. but once the difficulty increases the pinkboy/multi-pool leaves, dumps the coins on the market, and screws us all dedicated miners for the next "BOB" knows how long ..with a very high difficulty and very few new coins to be mined. This of course leads to a drop in interest, out of pocket rental mining fees to get us back on track, and frustration among a committed 'SubGenius community'.

DobbsShield protects Dobbscoin against this threat, and helps ensure greater confidence by allowing the difficulty to rise and fall almost perfectly in sync with increases or decreases in the net hash of a coin. DobbsShield uses an asymmetrical approach to difficulty re-targeting. With DobbsShield, the difficulty is allowed to decrease in larger movements than it is allowed to increase from block to block. This keeps a blockchain from getting "stuck" i.e., not finding the next block for several hours (or days) following a major drop in the net hash of coin. It is all a balancing act. You need to allow the difficulty to increase enough between blocks to catch up to a sudden spike in net hash, but not enough to accidentally send the difficulty sky high when two miners get lucky and find blocks back to back. The same thing occurs with difficulty decreases. Since it takes much longer to find the next block, you need to allow it to drop quicker than it increases.

In summary DobbsShield is a balanced asymmetrical approach to difficulty re-targeting. You don't want to let the difficulty go too high too fast, but you need to give it enough room to catch up quickly. The same thing goes with down swings, since it takes longer to discover new blocks you need to give it more room to go down, but not enough to send it to the floor. DobbsShield is by no means the absolute "perfect" solution to the drive-by/multi pool difficulty problem, ..but after a month of getting raped by The Conspiracy.. something had to be done,

(BOB) Dobbscoin is the Officially Approved crypto-currency of the Church of the SubGenius, a TWENTY+ Year old UFO 'parody religion' that targets many better known belief systems. The Church of the SubGenius teaches a complex belief system that focuses on the clip-art Deity, J. R. "Bob" Dobbs, and shines the light upon a Global Conspiracy to steal your Slack ..of course, what 'religion' would be complete without some UFO's, tons of SEX and a grand Armageddon scenerio. More: Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_the_SubGenius#Deities)

"BOB" Dobbs in the Media

The Church of the SubGenius has been featured in: Playboy, WIRED (http://archive.wired.com/culture/lifestyle/news/1998/07/13466), Rolling Stone, and preformed hundreds of successful Live Night Club Shows. "BOB" even has Nationally Distributed Video ARISE (Polygram). Not to mention "BOB" is endorsed by most major Counterculture Heroes and Subculture artists.
The Band 'SUBLIME' ⁽¹⁾, shipped a 23 track '40 OZ OUNCES TO FREEDOM' CD through Skunk Records - with a Dobbshead on it.
The Band 'DEVO' ⁽²⁾ is SubGenius as fuck! (see below)
Negativland (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EseXUufowr8): You may have never heard of Negativland, but you've probably heard clips of their stuff as bumper music on late night programs such as Ground Zero w/Clyde Lewis (http://www.groundzeromedia.org/).

Famous SubGenii include:

Robert Anton Wilson⁽³⁾: "Pope BOB" was an ordained minister in the Church of the SubGenius, wrote for and was featured in the Three Fisted Tales of "BOB" (http://www.amazon.com/Three-Fisted-Tales-Bob-Ivan-Stang/dp/0671671901) book, and also featured "BOB" in The Illumanatus Trilogy (http://www.amazon.com/Illuminatus-Trilogy-Pyramid-Golden-Leviathan/dp/0440539811/ref=sr_1_sc_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1408389277&sr=1-1-spell&keywords=illumanatus+trilogy); one of the many books he authored himself.

The Atari - ST ⁽⁵⁾
At the time the Atari ST started shipping, a limited set of GEM fonts were included within the ROMs. These fonts featured the standard 8x8 pixel graphical character set for the ST (the main in-ROM "font" for GEM, and text-mode TOS operations in color modes) and contains a recognizable facsimile of the face of J. R. "Bob" Dobbs, (the figurehead of the Church of the Subgenius).

The FACT is.. (BOB) DobbsCoin is about Slack,
It's about FIGHTING The Conspiracy, and it's about getting BACK what THEY Stole away.
And if we just so happen to 'Survive The Great Cataclysms Through UFO Transport, while taking control through liberated weirdness by tapping our secret 'Abnormality Potential. ..then FUCK YES, I'll have TWO.

⁽⁴⁾: Patrick Volkerding, the software engineer known as the founder and maintainer of Slackware Linux distro, is a SubGenius. The use of the word Slack in "Slackware" is a homage to J. R. "Bob" Dobbs: "I'll admit that it was SubGenius inspired. In fact, back in the 2.0 through 3.0 days we used to print a dobbshead on each CD.

I just checked this FAQ ON SLACK

http://www.subgenius.com/bigfist/answers/faqs/X0011_FAQ_ON_SLACK.html

Here's a quote from it

Yes, my dear friend in "Bob", the Men from Planet X are on their way.
On July 5, 1998, 7:00am, the Rupture will occur, and all SubGenius
ministers will be whisked away to the great Pleasure Saucers, while the
Humans (a.k.a. Pinks, Normals, Kens/Barbies) will be left to FRY ON
EARTH! HAH! SERVES 'EM RIGHT!

How come all humans did not fry on earth on July 5, 1998, 7:00am?

Quote from: var53 on September 17, 2014, 10:06:59 PM

When July 5, 1998 arrived and no alien fleet appeared in the sky, members of the Church began citing a large number of conspiracy theories to explain why the predicted end of the world did not take place. The manual page of the ddate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discordian_calendar) program claims that the Church "declared that it had got the year upside down" and that X-Day will actually take place in 8661. The most popular explanation for the failure of the prophecy in the Church is usually summarized with the statement, "the calendar is wrong and July 5th, 1998 has not really arrived yet." Because of this, the Church has held annual gatherings around July 5 of each year since 1998 to celebrate X-Day and greet the arrival of the anticipated alien "Sex Goddesses."

The YEARLY X-Day celebration has become well known in underground culture circles, especially in pagan communities. Of the various X-Day celebrations taking place, the largest and most popular each year was held at the Brushwood Folklore Center in Sherman, New York, but as of 2011 it has been scheduled for Wisteria Event Campground in Pomeroy, OH. Many underground rock bands have performed at X-Day, and the event has evolved into a festival similar to Burning Man, lasting for three to five days, with rock concerts, artistic events, bonfires, and parties taking place day and night.

A more recent theory suggests that the X-ists did indeed come to Earth on July 5, 1998 as foretold by "Bob," but through one of the most pervasive Conspiracy coverups, Earth and Mars were switched, and the "Earth" we know is actually Mars. And thus, as there was nobody on the True Earth at the time of their arrival, there was nobody there to witness the Rupture.

Oh those drive-by multi-pools, their shordurpursavs are short indeed (and their salvation is so fleeting).

Wait...

Blockchain forked...

Are you certain that we're on the blockchain of the good "Bob" and not the bad one?

Did you conduct any rituals to find out for sure?

Ah fuck it, I'll surf that bitch.

You'll always be on the chain with the Good "BOB" if you've chain matches the Official Explorer (http://explorer.dobbscoin.info). That's one of the things I Love about (BOB). We're not held to the same False Standards as "The Community". Jehovah-1 is THE Central Authority.

But NO, we have not FORKED .. Not until Block 31597, when the re-target mechanism is altered, and NEW blocks created on through the WORMHOLE (v0.8.6.2) will no longer be accepted by your peers. We'll be re-targeting via DobbsShield (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=786499.0) - as of Block 31597.

Enjoy new DobbsCoin: http://bob.n50.ru

Fast 5+ MH/s pool ready for miners. 1 BOB automatic and 1 BOB manual payout threshold.

I suppose we need more pools to promote DobbsCoin. Enjoy!

Btw, the fork has already passed and block times are significantly more consistent. There are no more attacks from solo miners that cause the chain to be stuck for days at a time. praise BOB
