Added to the thread.  Bounty is yours!

Thanks!

Ok, got the windows screenshot. 

Should have OSX in a few hours.  Got an update on the OSX wallet too, it'll be OSX 10.9+ only for now.

Thanks, we wanted to do something unique.    Just a note on it, it will be updating real time too, so should be interesting to watch.

And yes all the wallets will  include the difficulty chart.    I should have more screenshots in a bit.

Here's the Linux version screenshot for BonusCoin.  (Updated it on the front page too)

I'll have the Windows and Mac versions in a bit.  What do you guys think?

Thanks, it's on the front page now.

Also, I'll be posting up  the updated screenshots for the wallets in a bit as I get them from the devs, think you'll all like them.

Thanks, appreciate a pool operators answer.  I wasn't positive.

I'm not sure how all miners work.  But I think on the one I use, if I have an enabled pool and it is my top priority pool.  It will try it, see it's not working and fallback to whatever my secondary pool is.

Then monitor the top priority pool until it is working.  When it's working again, it should switch to it.

So, I think what you're saying is right. 

Though, I'm not 100% on that.

Just looked at our CryptoRush voting.

Doing well considering we're not lauched yet.  Already #10..  With everyone support and a good launch we could get listed there relatively quickly.

Anyone who voted, thanks and keep it up.

That said, we already have commitments with 2 great exchanges so it'll just add additional liquidity to the coin!

Already committed exchanges!

Thanks.  Excited you added us!

Please add BonusCoin to the voting.

Well be ready to handle them.  Thanks for joining us!

Expecting a great launch, been getting some great feedback from everyone.

Also, we've already got 2 exchanges committed as soon as we launch.  

But wanted to encourage anyone who want to vote for BonusCoin on CryptoRush.

We've got 2500+ votes and are working our way up!

We can't post it early or someone who can compile it in 1 min will do so and make the launch unfair.

That said, we've been preparing a fair launch plan that should alleviate some of your issues.

I'll get a full update tomorrow, but I believe we'll be going with a custom difficulty adjustment algorithm for first 2800 blocks to stabilize the launch.  Then it'll switch to KGW, which should keep everything very solid and fair.  Meaning KGW will kick in ~4 days in.

So, being a few mins late to the launch party shouldn't hurt that much.

We're right on schedule!

Appreciate the support.

I appreciate you following BonusCoin.  The truth is what I said before, hes been involved in crypto outside a little but never as a dev.  So, was never involved in the forums.  That said, he has many years of great development experience outside crypto.  So, that is his account.  He wanted to introduce himself here.  

I did check out the coin you mentioned.  I don't know anything about it.  But, oddly its an Chinese named IPO coin released by known devs. The only one I can remember at this point is PandaCoin.  They even had VERY well established devs, the team that created UNO!  But if you've followed cryptocurrency, you probably know how that turned out. If not, feel free to look the story up, its pretty sad. 

No idea how that coin will turn out but don't like IPO coins.  IPO coins are in my opinion highly questionable. The dev team I understand wants to get paid, but wants to take all of their personal risk out.  Which leaves them less caring about the success or failure of their coin.  If their coin succeeds, great.  If it fails, they were paid prior to launch anywa.

I think you'll find that our motivation is directly in line with all of the BonusCoin community. If it succeeds, we'll be happy.  If it fails, we fail with it. Our interests and our goals are directly in line with our supporters and our community.

And honestly, we have NO intention to fail.  We want BonusCoin to be a success and we have a great team in place to do that.  

I hope you join us on launch, I'm sure we'll help to prove that!

Just wanted to update everyone. There's been some confusion (and http://www.altcoincalendar.info/calendar has it was GMT)

So this is a quick update.

** NOTE  EST is on Daylight Savings time (GMT-4) - Meaning launch time is: Thursday March 27th at 2 AM GMT.
This has been confusing as it was GMT-5 up until a couple weeks ago.

Great, thanks for the support.  I'll reserve a faucet and games bounty for you!

Kaishi has been doing mining and has done large development projects outside of the crypto currency world.  Hes one of the best developers I've met.  One of our goals with this coin was to try to attract new and old crypto adopters and knowing his skill sets he was a perfect person to bring on board to give a varied and technical view on the dev team.  I asked him to come in and introduce himself because I was getting a couple of detailed technical questions I was translating for him.

He's more than capable of handling anything you can throw at him.  

The bonus.conf file info is posted.

We're also up to 7 committed pools. 

Just wanted to let everyone know, we just got our 2nd exchange listing commitment. 

We're working hard to make this a great coin for everyone and we really appreciate all the community support!
