Please allow pools to require more than 0.5% fees.

Pools can be very costly to run and are full-time jobs. A 1%+ fees requirement at the launch of a coin is an absolute must, to insure early demand.

It gives a good reason for pool owners to host a server for a speculative, non-marketable coin.

And add the bounty to the OP

Also the dev added his real facebook account on OP page it adds more credibility to the project unlike 99.9% of other coins.

what about solo mining?

can we continue mining?

and do we need wallet update?

Should I change "-o http://127.0.0.1:10254" to something else if the wallet is on another computer?

if people were in fact able to get in on the early blocks then i don't see a problem.  someone had to get those blocks.  at least it wasn't a massive farm that got to it first and i know this because the nethash was still quite low when i got in at around 400 blocks.  i am still getting the occasional solo block with a measly 2mh/s right now.  this difficulty curve is way better than having a coin get slammed with 20gh/s right off the bat.  the method of obtaining coins from miners is actually pretty cool as well if the dev stays honest and actually donate to scientific research.  it is MUCH different than the premines we're used to.  i see so many mining coins with 1-2% premines yet what this dev offers is somehow a problem?  just stop for 2 seconds and think about it instead of coming in here with guns blazin'.  a public ledger wouldn't hurt, though.

pretty slick assed way to get a 2.5% premine actually

block reward is currently 1024, but 998.40 shows up in wallet on a block mined.

No need at all for dev to mine this at all for hisself lol

Yep. Obviously there has to be some way to confirm that those coins do actually go to charitable fund etc. where coins are supposed to go.

How to solo mine? What should I put in config file?

I entered a command in console "setgenerate true"

Donation to The Einsteinium Charitable Fund (per block)   2%
To Faucets, give-aways and marketing (per block)   0.5%
Premine   NONE


So the true premine is 2.5%.
