Just an update. One of the guy on our team suggested adding block reward based on 12 period (12 Zodiac) and each Zodiac would be different reward. I am just wondering which Zodiac worth more  Grin

Looks interesting, although the community as a whole is shifting more toward 0% premine. Perhaps lower your rate if you feel that you can not go completely without?

We might go lower actually, but again, for us this is a comfortable range. It is easy being a miner, but the process of setting it up, debug codes, working with pool manager/fixing their issues, and working with exchanges consume a lot of time. The biggest issue, however, is having enough of coins for exchange(s) listing and attracting more people via giveaways. If we lost 1 adopter because of this premining percentage but gain 10 more adopters via giveaways, we rather pick the later road.

We can do zero pre-mining but with IPO but that would be viewed in a worser light.

Devs with zero-premining already have capitals that we do not have.

Nice coin and nice logo.

I think you must add some bonus rewards based on date to the coin code, that will be better (smth like EAC bonuses).

Thanks Cloudpost. I think we will implement a block reward system because it sounds fun.

Oh crap and here I was thinking this was going to be innovative. When I seen 12 signs I thought 12 different levels of coins or something kewl. But nooooooo.. All this is, is just another scam by a greedy dev with no money to buy their own mining equipment. Yawn.. pass.

Instead of denigrating dev/the coin with little proof, you should spend more time mining other coins if you do not want Zodiac. If you are a dev yourself, you will run into exchange listing problem and attracting/give incentive for other people to help building the network. We devs have regular job and help making Zodiac is a part of our hobby/passion, and nothing more. IMHO, Zodiac is also better without trolls. Also, by bashing Scrypt, you are bashing about 144 devs/contributors who are building the foundation. Good job.

PM: going by your profile you are supporting anime coin, which is also Scrypt-based. Conflict of interest? Your words are meaningless.FAILED

I think you should release a separate coin for each sign.

That would be fun. But it would consume huge bandwidth/nodes. We got our hand full with just Zodiac  Undecided

With Zodiac, each coin is representing each sign. I'm Aries by the way.

Number twelve is considered to be one of the lucky numbers. In astrology and astronomy, Zodiac is a circle of twelve 30 degrees of celestial longitude: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio,Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces . Similarly, Asian nations have the "circle of animals", or Chinese Zodiac based on the year: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. It is befitting that there should be a cryptocurrency honoring the long-time traditions of both western and eastern culture, as well as the lucky number 12.

During the entire lifetime of Zodiac, approximately ~12(+) total coins will be mined. Zodiac team do not claim Zodiac to be rare. Rather, our simple goal is to have a unique currency with a strong community support.  

Zodiac is a cryptocurrency that will use Scrypt as backend (latest source codes for stability) for anonymous peer-to-peer transaction.

There will be 0.8% premined for exchange listing, bounties, and giveaways to attract more adopters.

Our promise is that we will deliver enjoyable mining experience upon launch. Our developers have many years working in programming, and creating Zodiac is a journey for us.

Both Linux and Windows will be available, and Mac after launch if there is a strong demand.

Github source will be available when it is readied at https://github.com/zodiac12


Zodiac Information:

Upper coins: ~12 (+) coins
Starting difficulty: 0.00024414062
Difficulty Retarget at every block
Block Interval: 45 seconds
Coin per block: To be determined
Block reward will be halve every 84,000 blocks
Available: Linux and Windows

Pool: None yet, please contact/post in this thread
Online Block Explorer: In development


We would like Zodiac to have more people signing up in this thread to receive giveaways. The more the better it will be !

As the launch day is getting closer, we will update information in this thread.

We are welcoming suggestions !
