Thanks, added to the OP and to the mining pools section of the initial website.

3 Mining Pools  Now Confirmed For Launch 21st January 2016 21:00 UK/GMT

This is a great opportunity to engage with millions more people, rather than think well what's in it for me, how about think how can we engage and reach a new audience. Bitcoin, with respect, is a dated brand, with dated technology, Bitcoin to students and teenagers is like having someones dad dancing at a teenage birthday party, where as Bitcoin 21 is like having amazing people come to your party!

The Bitcoin foundation has almost run out of money (according to press reports), millions of people are still going about daily business not even knowing digital currencies exist, waiting for people to adopt Bitcoin is like waiting for an Iceberg to move out of the way of the Titanic, at the moment I am disappointed in the community here and would have expected much more support, too many people seem to be "plugging their own coins or exchange" to even consider that by working collectively that a greater impact can be achieved.

I've pledged my commitment to these endeavours in a not-for-profit manner and made the initial investment, however there is a cost to mass marketing including;

-- printing and distributing leaflets for the launch and to educate people on the high street
-- displaying advertising in magazines and newspapers, particularly editorial features
-- digital marketing and brand development

The problem with the sector at the moment is people are thinking far too small in terms of audience and growing consensus, the simple fact is that if the IPO was sold out, the generated revenue would enable Bitcoin21 (and therefore the digital currency sector) to benefit from television advertising for example.

I've been mining and supporting digital currencies for two years, lost quite alot of money actually as altcoin prices continue to perform badly and have devalued massively over two years, but still prepared to be involved because ultimately it is a positive empowering movement.

IPO/ICO

1.1million (available to the general public, businesses etc) maximum purchase of 5,000 units per person.
Any left over will be used as giveaways, investment in the 21 Foundation, marketing and other activities.

IPO Unit prices

0 - 250 units - $1 each / 0.0025 BTC each
251 - 500 units - $2 each / 0.005 BTC each
501 - 1000 units - $3 each / 0.0075 BTC each
1001 - 2500 units - $4 each / 0.01 BTC each
2501 - 5000 units - $5 each / 0.0125 BTC each

Early investors will get access to all wallets including android wallets up to 7 days before official launch.
The initial target is only 2,000 XBTC21 through ICO/IPO, that's only 5 BTC, not much to ask is it?

I've made and pledged my contribution, now it's time do make yours.

Since changing to Aprilcoin XAP the Twitter page has picked up over 50 followers, currently at 972 which is pretty impressive, definitely the way to go.

Hi. No pools are setup as yet, there's two confirmed pools to date, but it was only official unveiled today :p

Wallets and source will be available close to launch date, probably 5 - 7 days to allow everyone to set up the pools and run any nodes.

All the IPO loaded wallets will be issued ready for launch aswell so any participating exchanges can start to accept.

Lanch date / time confirmation;

LAUNCH: 21st January 2016 at 21:00 UK/GMT

Much appreciated. Will release a steady stream of data of plans, general ideas for discussion, ideally I want all the exchanges supporting straight from the word go, however will see how that goes.


The 21 Club is an interesting concept, much like the FTSE 100 having an exclusive Exchange featuring 21 digital currencies all with 21 million proof of work coins. These would ultimately be the best performing 21 coins on exchanges in the previous year to give a great metric of the overall investment and trade within the top 21/21 coins.

I have penned in the desire to do an exchange featuring just 21 coins of that specification - coins such as Bitcoin, IXcoin, Neoscoin and Bitcoin21 would all qualify for inclusion to date. Development is subject to demand but is certainly something that is in mind for the mid to long term.

Short term I would like;

-- participation by around 10 - 12+ mining pools
-- agreement to include Bitcoin21 XBTC21 in a number of exchanges (if not all current available exchanges)
-- an initial reasonable level of IPO pledges/commitments

Bitcoin 21 XBTC21 can also be called any of the following in conversation to mean the same thing in the Bitcoin world;

-- Bitcoin21
-- B21
-- 21Btcoin
-- 21

I am sure our community and users will make up more pseudanyms and brands within the brand itself as time goes by.

Hope to have a full roadmap uploaded and viewable sometime in the forthcoming week.

Time for a break and walk the dog

You guys! Typical coders! The OP is being updated tomorrow, the website is almost finished, Twitter being setup, and I am also trying to have a quick game of Battlefield hardline in between, to be honest my spelling isnt much better in the game either.

I will correct the spelling, can we focus on positive suggestions, contributions from here on in, but I appreciate the comments anyway.

This post was inappropriate and posted during a time of personal and mental health issues, sorry.

Im currently invested in this coin, also buying on Cryptsy, my wallet shows no peers though, does anyone;

- have a .conf file
- have a list of peers
- know why I have no peers on the wallet

Are there network issues? Would it be best to roll back to an earlier version?

sorry to hear that, although you may change your mind tomorrow when all the information is available, best to keep an open mind

Hopefully you'll see the difference between this delivery and with a successful IPO could easily become a mass marketing tour de force, particularly for example by getting people in the high street across the UK to hand out leaflets and raise awareness of the new digital currency, and the whole digital currency sector.

It is important to understand that the reason governments make decisions, and are legally entitled to make regulations are because through the "rather undemocratic" process of voting a government, each person has a vote and therefore a government is elected by consensus.

It is critical, in any shape or form, that increasing the exposure of digital currencies, and inviting new people into the sector is made in sufficient numbers to invest long term as a movement of consensus and also give corporations the opportunity to invest at zero hour in something other than the original Bitcoin.

Given all my contributions to crypto to date have been not for profit, and continue to be not for profit, running an IPO to help establish a key fund to grow a professional team and solutions to current economical problems for the next 40 - 50 years is not really much to ask.

I will release the website and brand tomorrow, with more detailed information and you can hopefully meet me half way, it's time to take crypto to the next level.

First mining pool confirmed, thanks. URL details will be added to the website and the OP updated tomorrow. Thanks.

Pos - yes very VERY small pos, details to be supplied later, website should be live tomorrow.
Faucet - again, yes, will use any left over from the IPO
Airdrop - giving everyone the opportunity to mine at minimum difficulty with plenty of notice should be sufficient, an airdrop could be done again depending on initial IPO adoption.

Anyone looking to make money at the expense of the community would be advised perhaps not to participate, anyone that has a potential of a small profit and contributing to a new phase would be encouraged to consider.

Once the website is up and the details are updated, I will look to see the number of mining pools and the number of exchanges interested in participating and what their terms are.

This is to encourage people to begin their journey in crypto, not to use newcomers or newbies as cash cows, if you want people to join the revolution then you have to revolve around incorporating new users and give generously.

Hope that information helps, I have a good feeling about this long term, hope everyone sees the promise - keep an eye out for more updates over the weekend and look forward to connecting on LinkedIn, Skype.

Hi Jez,

Launch
Launch of the coin will be mid to late January, plenty of notice will be provided to all miners and all pools will have the source to setup well in advance.

Mining Difficulty
The mining difficulty at launch will be zero (or the lowest it can go) with the premine already run and transacted to the necessary wallets for IPO investors.

Legally Binding Certificate
Each investor along with their wallet will receive a legally binding digital certificate that any remaining premine after IPO / IPO+ (premine is also open to IPO investors if 1.1 million is insuffient to cover demand) which establishes a fixed position for the premined 1 million (the same as Satoshi) to be held for a minimum of 5 years after launch. Guaranteed. Additional terms will include a restriction on releasing any of these coins via liquidity to a maximum of 100 per day via exchanges or any other distribution method to further preserve any level of stable wealth invested within the currency and framework.

Loss Prevention
In the event of any problems regarding the blockchain at a minimum 50% of IPO funds will retained for the purposes of compensation or other requirements to minimise any losses. It is hopeful that this scenario will not be needed in any event and that all success will be afforded. The remaining 50% as mentioned will be used for altcoin investment and value stabilisation, plus pay for future developments, marketing, technical services, staff and any other requirements to ensure the project becomes successful.

Mining Pools
If anyone would like to message and let me know they will be running a pool for this coin in 2016 can you let me know the URLs in advance and provide link to your logo etc please.

Long Term Prop
A proportion of the initial IPO is designed to buy up high POS coins, again to hold for a period of 5 years, this is designed so that there is a reduction in any future altcoin "pump and dump" scenarios to lose investors money, also this will enable in 5 years to give away coins to new adopters and start to liquidate some of the altcoin holdings where people can then buy cheaply and generate a much better digital currency capital.

Exchanges
Any exchanges that would like the source and to enable zero hour trading in their exchanges, again please message me so I can arrange this and add you to the OP.

Block explorer will be up from zero hour.

More information during the course of the weekend. Website is nearing completion.

Thanks alot.

Leave a message of support here either from yourself or your coin, I'll add your message to the featured messages on the front of the website and a link to your coin, twitter page or Bitcointalk profile!
Some messages of support would be really cool and helpful

Thanks TheInfidel, I'll push out the IPO to a new client base for investment, might be a good option for corporate investors to get into something new and exciting. More details with progress.

Information added. More to be added in due course, website should be available this weekend.
