Looks like we made the 100k Doge goal at coin-swap.net now to wait and see when we get added.

Blockchain is still moving along strong and it's nice to see transactions moving along as well, even if those transactions right now are just from pools to the miners.  Hopefully we'll be listed on an exchange soon and you'll be able to trade away.

Just remember, always mining on the pool with the largest hashrate isn't necessarily good for the coin network and users should spread the hash around to multiple pools.

Looks like at the moment it's http://ebg.hardcoreminers.com but they keep switching places with http://ebg.cryptoadhd.com depending on how many people are mining.

We've been added into the queue of 2 different exchanges, so we should at least be added to an exchange or two, unfortunately I do not have a timeframe at this point but rest assured we are still working on it.

Giveaway complete and coins have been sent.

2 hours to go in the 50 EBG giveaway, tweet your EBG address to us @Embargocoin for you share of the 50 EBG.

Yeah, block reward changes every 251 block from block 1 and not the genesis block of 0, so the first block with 100 was supposed to be 252.

More than anyone else at the moment has as well.

These blocks have arrived and it's nice to see pool payouts processing in the blockchain.

100EBG blocks should start breaking the Embargo once trade sanctions lighten up in about 3 blocks.

Took a little longer than initially anticipated, I think at this point since launch we are averaging about 28 min per block.  Hopefully once the diff change hits at block 600 things will smooth out a little and get us back closer to 20 min blocks.  But as this was designed to be a slow coin I'm not upset with it taking longer, and I hope no one else is either.  It's just Embargos take awhile to get around

That it is, I wanted it to be slow, but it is going a little bit slower than I had hoped which is why we have new wallets out and a fork coming at block 600, but we are still at least a week out from block 600.  I just wanted to make sure there was ample time for everyone that had downloaded the wallet to update.  Also makes it harder to break through the Embargos and get the next block, it's been interesting to watch to say the least.  Also the trade sanctions are going to be easing in about 12 blocks increasing block reward to 100 EBG.  Hopefully by the time we get to the 500 EBG blocks (block 2268) we'll have more consistent hashrate on the network and more miners mining.

Coin maturity is slow with this coin on purpose and it takes 220 blocks to confirm.  We are at block 237, so only 17 blocks have been confirmed and paid out at this point on the whole network, this means right now there are only 850 EBG available to be sent between anyone at this time.

We are up to 40,001 Doge in the votes to be added to coin-swap, only 60k more Doge to go to get to the 100k goal.

This round of giveaways complete and coins sent.

Less than 2 hours to go, get your wallet addresses tweeted to us to get your share of EBG.

Hard to track votes unless it's an exchange you have to send other coins to vote.

 50 EBG to be given away on twitter, follow @Embargocoin and tweet us your Embargocoin address before 11:30PM ET and get your share which will be evenly divided among all participants.

Talk about timing.  wow..  there's block 200
