Ahahahhaahaaaa.  So true.   Mine leave the yard tools in the rain until they rust.

Hey, you said you're a programmer, right.  And I think you said or someone else said you know Shakazula.

I want to implement a reward system where 10% of all mined coins will go into a pool or a public wallet so everyone can see I'm not spending it and then (because this is a miners coin) the miners will decide the most fair way to distribute these free coins amongst themselves.  

Problem is Shakazula is running into a snag - coding this so 10% of the mined coins goes into a separate wallet is a problem.  And the only other option is a premine and I really want to avoid that as that's the biggest sign if a pump and dump.

Can you talk to him if you really are friends and see if the between the two of you maybe a solution can be found?  Anything but a premine and the wallet has to be public so people can clearly see the coins are there and they're there specifically for the miners.

I really want to add this feature to further help the average, new and small miners who can't catch a break in such a tough industry that keeps getting more and more difficult.  This 10% would be a leveling factor and it would be for everyone even the rich, but the the poor, being a flat (across the board) reward system, would mean a lot more on a % relative basis for the smaller miner.

This coin can help miners so much at least in my mind, especially if you knew the aspects of the VGB protocol which makes a coin mineable, more rewarding and fun even as the difficulty approaching infinity.  

Please look into it if you know Shakazula pretty well and please keep the details on the down low and if I can pay you something I will I'm just on a very strict budget right now since I'm not working a regular job.  

Thanks a lot, muddafudda.  Lol.....that just doesn't sound right.  Ha!

Hey, somebody backed your name up, but it was too late I went with another reputable guy. 

But tell me, What is a support payment option?

I went with someone else who also has a good name in this alt coin community and I think he's a programmer.

Let me be honest - the reason I didn't go with you was your screen name.  It's funny and I'd probably choose something similar in my 20's and even 30's before I got married.

But when dealing with strangers and you need to trust them with an idea which may be your only edge for a new coin or having to say, pay upfront - it's hard to do that when the counter party is muddafudda.  lol!

Lol...your name cracks me up but until this other guy vouched for you there was no way I could have really trusted you.  But you are my kind of person - not worried about what other people think and it's those guys that naturally revolt against the Status Quo, naturally take high but calculated risks, and tend to be the most creative and that's the kind of talent I need if I do launch a coin, creative, enigmatic openly outspoken and honest men.

I feel the guy I went with is exactly that kind of guy and you seem to be similar to him.  Wouldn't surprise me if you two are buddies.  Ha!

That said, I'm curious what your payment plan you mention is exactly cause I am relatively short on money.

Also, are you self taught or did you go to college.  Just curious - I've been blown away by self taught hackers.

Thanks again.

Ok, so nobody has any idea as to the shares for round 25, what about then the end of the round.

I read several times by reputable guys in here the end of round 25 is 97,300 but in the past there was the "end" and then another 1,000 blocks for the actual literal end. 

Can anybody comment on this?  Is 97,300 the real end or the 1,000 block heads up end?  I wrote only 3 articles all month long, this past month, due to serious family problems, but I really want to get at least a few articles in for this round but I don't know how much time I really have left.

Anyone? 

Much appreciated. 

Thank you!

Thanks so much.  I'm not an a-hole developer wannabe.  I'm humbled csuse I'm a fish out of water here and I'm so greatful  to get help.

In fact the reason I hired Shakazula over c4n10 who is a lot cheaper was integrity.

I did a simple thing for Shakazula and answered a couple simple questions man and he sent me a reward or 10,000 DVC.

I have never turned away a newbie, an ugly rude habit very common on these boards, I try to help everyone but not no one has ever given given me a single tip for my help snd advice and frankly I never expected it.   But Shakazula did, and This says a lot about a man's character and honesty so as soon as I found out he can program he was the guy for me even though I'm tight with money and it's gonna cost me more.

 If I don't have enough for the features I want - I will not cut this coin short and insult the very miners I'm trying to help, I'll borrow money or work some deal out with Shakazula.  When I do something I try my hardest to make the best I can with the resources and whatever talent and skills God has given me.  Unfortunately, those talents and skills don't involve any programming knowledge.  Ha!

To me, honesty and integrity is priceless.   Thanks to all who spoke up, most people these days are fearful to speak up for anyone and that's not right. 

I gotta step out for a couple hours guys.

I'll check back in.  Please post your support, opinions, criticisms, and any last features you'd love to see and if I can afford to add it I will.

I keep asking but nobody will speak up.  This is the miners coin, make it your own, make it the best it is.

Like the design - I want the best coin in the world as far as looks go, that's my face, your face.

All coins out there are Mickey Mouse - copy cats of bitcoin which itself had a lame design.  I want memorable originality I want people to love the coin the second they see as when the masses come in next year many will buy a coin based on the name and looks alone.

Holla back!

Lol. KFC...it's supposed to be gold or coal nuggets since its a miner coin but I thought about chicken nuggets too and wait until the exchange name pops up (NUG) all the pot lovers will buy it up.  Lol.

Pretty much every aspect of this coin was chosen by the people.  Except the VGB Protocol which is something I learned in Economics many years ago.

Thanks for chiming in.  Would you support this coin if it took 10% out for the miners, while leaving 89% for the miners as well?

And of course, I know people wanna hear what this VGB protocol is first and I'll let that be knows soon.  But I think most people if not all will love the idea.

Nothing like that exists which shocks me.  Perhaps since I'm an Economist I think on a different level while most people here are too technical to think up something like the VGB.

Thanks for your input, bro.

Man, muddafudda offered help (for a fee of course) but his name scared me away.

Is Shakezula better than muddafudda?  I'm paying more than what hazard charges and if I had a regular Job I wouldn't care but since I don't I just wanna make sure I get the best since I'm paying for it.

Shakezula has integrity I'll say that.  And that's harder to find than any talent, college degree or skill in the world.  So on that note, I'm sticking with Shakazula.

Thanks for the input though.

Thanks i'll give it a shot.  I wish one of you lived in Oregon, I'd pay you to come over and prep my computer to mine this stiff.

You're such a nice guy all of a sudden.  I think you and I have the same problem - people just misunderstand us.

That means they're the real A-holes.  Lol.

Thanks, bro.

I promised you guys at least a 3 day heads up warning for any coin I launch and here it is.

The coin will be Nuggets (The first true Miners' Coin) and I am designing it from the ground up, with lots of feedback from many miners and before all else, with the average, struggling miner in mind.

Every coin out there focuses on everything and everyone else but none out the miner first - the lifeblood of any successful coin - yet the masses - the large majority of miners get no real specific edge or benefit for their efforts and contributions.

I wanna change all that!

Nuggets will have no premine, no instamine (the first true fair launch per the people's specs and demands, and not my own desires and so fair that Miners even chose the name no sneak launch, as promised a minimum 3 days heads up for hackers to kill the coin if this is another CrapCoin) and I will add a new feature [I learned in Economics and Finance back in College years ago) never before seen or heard of, called the VGB protocol, which I will detail right before launch so prevent theft before my own launch.

On a % basis the VGB Protocol will favor and more generously reward the smaller miner - the smaller the miner the nicer and more rewarding the benefit.  It will also help the solo miner but also the pool miner.

The higher the difficulty goes - this new, never thought of feature (the VGB protocol) will ensure and guarantee that mining a high difficulty coin will not result in a boring flatline effect, which many coins are now plagued by and as the masses come in, mining will become more boring and less and less rewarding - so this VGB protocol will greatly help with this fundamental flaw in all coins out there right now. 

I guess it took an Economist to see what very smart computer guys, programmers and hackers missed all this time.  lol.

This new VGB feature will make mining more interesting, unpredictable (in a good way) and more fun and exciting for everyone - but especially for the average and smaller miners.

It will be fully inclusive - meaning big miners will be happy to mine it while small miners will be even happier to mine it.   It's a win-win coin for everyone involved.

The distribution of the coin which not all may love this particular idea will be like this, and this is where you have to give me a bit of trust, because this is also meant and designed with the smaller miner in mind although once again, this is a democratic coin and i promise nobody will be excluded. 

In discussing ways to level the playing field, "Zas" suggested rewarding all miners with 10% of the mined coins straight across but that would be impossible to code and it's ripe for abuse but I love the idea so much that I can't let it go.

So here's my plan:  I get 1% of mined coins (no premine and no instamine), miners get 89% of all mined coins and then 10% of all mined coins will be put in either an escrow account or a specific wallet which can be verified by everyone and anyone to show I'm not spending it.  I promise full disclosures and full oversight in any way you guys choose to implant such a watchdog.

Once we can all come to some fair understanding I will then distribute ALL of those coins, every penny back to the miners.  So then the miners get 99% of these coins but the idea is that this 10% distribution will be a flat reward which means that even the big miners get a reward but the same exact (flat) reward will be given to the small and smallest miners so on a % basis, relatively speaking, the small miners will feel a much greater benefit.

The idea is to help newbies and small guys who can't afford to keep buying hardware - this 10% reward, combined with my VGB Protocol, should really help the fast majority of miners, especially the smaller struggling miners, before the masses of people come online probably next year and you all lose the control you none possess to make a coin especially for yourselves. 

This is a win-win for everyone and I will do anything it takes to show people this is not a pump and dump.  I will do all I can to put the power and the reward system in the hands of the miners. 

This is the first coin which gives a damn about this alt community and so this coin is made specifically with the miners in mind, before all else and if it succeeds many small miners should see immediate and wonderfully uplifting benefits which will help many of you reach the next level of income and revenues. 

Good luck guys!

Why can't there be an easy miner for most coins?  It's so hard to find, download and make these miners work.

I guess it keeps out the masses as most are more inept than me at computers but the first guy to code a universal miner can get rich.

Lol, that name is growing on me the more I hear it.

So you guys are ok then with 10% going into a special wallet which can be verified that not one coin is being spent and it will distributed to the MINERS at a later date when we can figure out the best way to avoid unfairness and abuse.

Cause the idea is just too good to give up and I don't want to do any hard forks.  And lets face it - miners getting 89% of all coins mined with the other 10% going right back to them in some form or other is a sweet deal. 

And wait until I unveil the VBG protocol, I think miners will love this new feature.  It gets rid of the boring flatline mining you get now and it gets rid of the near ZERO rewards of high difficulty coins which give you almost nothing back - coins like Bitcoin, Litecoin but especially ixCoin where you can mine all day and barely see anything and there isn't even a hope or prayer that you'll look at your laptop or rig and get some huge surprise.

We can wrote out own tickets.  I used to work as a Mortgage a underwriter for the biggest banks in the world and this is basically underwriting a financial instrument - and the best part is, until the banks and the government get involved there are no rules, man, you underwrote the coin anyway which best fits your target audience.

And right now, for me and this particular coin, the target audience is you the miners, the lifeblood of all Alt Coins - we small miners deserve a coin which holds some sort of benefit skewed even slightly in our favor, relatively speaking but without excluding or punishing the successful, big miners.  It's win-win all the way around with VBG. 

I'm hoping Shakezula can make it happen - so far I've heard only good things about him and his programming skills.  A bit spendy but if he can do it I'll find a way to pay him right.

Can you CPU mine these?  I took my DUAL GPU rig back when I couldn't mine jack LTC with it.  But I have a couple older Dell servers with dual Quad Core L5420 Xeon CPUs and 16 gigs of ECC ram each.  But they sit turned off all the time cause I can't find anything to mine with them.

Man, but it was such a great idea.

Maybe I can out it in a wallet where everyone can check it hasn't been spent or messed with until we figure out a way to help the small miners with it.

After all, what miner wouldn't mine this coin for 89%?  Many coins don't give nearly that much to miners and they do very well.  Some only give miners 10% or 20% which is nothing yet they're on exchanges.

So what about that ?  10% of mined coins in an escrow account or a wallet which can be watched by anyone until we come up with a viable plan.

And trust me, the VGB protocol, if Shakezula, can do it will way more than make up for that 10%.  There's nothing like it out there there and this protocol makes mining much more rewarding especially for the small miner while also helping financially everyone mining it but on a % basis the small miner would once again benefit the most in a % basis.

Looks like round 25 is over.

Can somebody post a total share count so we can figure out how many coins per share this round.

Curious if the share count double again.  Thanks in advance.

Yes, I'm going with sahakziula although he's the most expensive.

I asked him about poS vs PoW cause I wanted to do both and he said since I'm doing scrypt PoS has Pow built in.

Looks like Nuggets it is. 

I don't think we can do the 10% idea csuse there no way to code for it or prevent abuse.

If you guys want a 10% distribution back to you the miners speak up now and I'll out the coin in escrow and you guys decode later on how to distribute.  I'll make sure there's oversight of some kind so I don't get accused of stealing them.

It's up to you guys but let me know soon, very soon.  I'm happy with the 1% I'm gonna get.  No premine or instamine.

Holla back of you guys want a different name, special features (like is PPcoin a good feature and is it easy to implement on a Scrypt coin).

I'm waiting to hear back on the VGB protocol from Shakezula, I hope he likes it and can code it for a decent price.  C4n10 adds features for only .02 BTC per feature.  Man, what a deal, too bad he's been asleep for 3 days now and Hazard too. 

Guys, I think I found a reputable programmer.  He's gonna cost more than C4n10 but I think he can actually program.

Last chance to give me some much wanted features.

What about PoS vs PoW or both?  Remember this will be Scrypt since that what you guys wanted.  So which way is better or should I employ both.

Any other features, besides the VGB protocol I want to employ - hopefully most of you will like that.  I think even the big miners will like it.

And finally the Name:  if I don't hear back ASAP I'm going with Nuggets (NUG).  Lol, sounds like food and weed, the munches coin.  Great, now we're marginalized. Lol.

What do you know about him?  I want to add features and for that I need a real programmer - self learned or college educated makes no difference with me as long as he can code well.

Did you not get my PM?
[/quote]

Yes, I responded - holla back.  Your offer was quite a bit more than C4n10's but if you can actually program and add features then we'll work out some kind of deal.  The fact you tipped me for mere friendly advice goes a long way with me for integrity.  I just don't want a pure cut and paste job, I would really like something new to this coin.

Besides my idea for a VGB protocol feature which some may love while other may be indifferent.  Although I can't imagine anyone hating it, not even the big miners since (relatively speaking) this VGB protocol would benefit the small miner more, on a % basis.

I went with the poll. Scrypt, although I wanted SHA256 for merge mining and ASICS. The people won.

And I banned CatholicCoin and OrphanCoin csuse of the people didn't want it.

But where the hell is Hazard and c4n10, these guys haven't responded to my PM in 3 days now.  I have 4 guys now PM'ing me to build a coin but I don't know who to trust.  Some want 2BTC upfront and have like 14 total posts.  Scam?  It's hard to tell.

Can you please PM me your offer details.  Prices etc.  I'd like to offer a decent coin but I'm limited on funds but I would like to add some features. Are there any other coins you've launched before for anyone.  As a reference?  No offense but  I don't want to get ripped off and it seems to happen a lot.
