Nice, poor guy on the #1 richlist if he bought most at 500 sat or more (same as i did with nearly 100K SHIBE)

Lets hope the price will go up after that 6419 block is solved.

Clearing The Air Around The SHIBE Coin
...some words from the developer

Greetings.  I thought I would write a few thoughts to help clear the air around the release of our coin The Shibe Coin.  The amount of interest in this coin and the way it has exploded after launch far exceeded expectations and has been great fun.  But, I have also been somewhat saddened by the tremendous amount of FUD being purveyed much of which is pretty far off base or flat out wrong.  It is particularly saddening to me because I have fixed a lot of your pet coins behind the scenes, and built so many windows wallets for devs that couldn't be bothered to read the documentation in their own repos or who just couldn't get the build process to work.  And so to me it is a bit of a slap in the face when I have tried to put something cool together for the community, to then read so much FUD on the forums and in IRC some spread by folks that I have bailed out in the past.

I'd like to address a few topics that I think need clarification, and provide a glimpse into our plan for the future.

First, with regards to DOGE, I think we need to set aside any adversarial nonsense and conjecture of that sort.  SHIBE is not a ripoff of DOGE, it is not intended as a competitor to DOGE, it is supposed to be complementary to DOGE.  I mined DOGE from launch, DOGE has been very good to me, the idea with SHIBE was to offer a PoS coin done right as a complementary coin to DOGE which has been more of a tipping coin and every day trade coin.  SHIBE is intended to have more of a business and trading focus.  It is well intentioned and not some biting brand dilution scheme.

Second, as far as AC and this supposed BTER statement, we are absolutely not associated with AC.  Indeed, part of my motivation for pushing this coin out was because I lost a lot of money on AC and I knew I could do a good proof of stake coin.  I rented rigs and mined that coin at a loss at launch, and bought up more because I thought it was going to be a hit and then I went to bed.  And then I woke up the next morning to find that we all got burned.

Third, there has been some FUD about a wallet address supposedly holding some enormous amount of "instamined" funds.  This address was our launch pool wallet.  We had about a dozen miners on the pool at launch, that grew to maybe a couple dozen at a time shortly thereafter.  Some people rented big rigs, I rented a modest amount of hash.  The devs do not hold big wallets like some of the big investors in the coin who went big with hash or bought up the market.  I'm not really in this coin to get rich off of a coin launch, I'm in it to build a platform.

My vision really is for SHIBE to be a vehicle for a lot of  other ideas, and to be an inclusive community with other coins like Blackcoin, DOGE, etc.  Every coin needs to have a purpose and a reason for existing, a niche in the market.  To me coins like Blackcoin and Unobtainium are in the luxury niche, Blackcoin has exceptional branding that has a prestige and luxury feel and is the kind of coin I could see using to buy luxury watches and that sort of thing, at least thats what it is to me.  Doge is the fun coin that doesn't take itself serious that you can mine and tip around to your friends without thinking about it too much.  Doge got me started with mining cryptos.  Quark is the coin that won't stop ticking with the unstoppable community that had great publicity at the end of last year.  And many others.  

SHIBE is the coin for innovation, trading and wealth storage, the coin that drives the development of crypto solutions in the scene.

There are a bunch of things in the works for SHIBE that have been held somewhat close to the vest as we want to have sites and information ready first and frankly we want to get through the pure PoS transition before turning our attention to these programs.  I'll note a few of these in brief, more detailed information will be forthcoming in the coming week.

First, is the SHIBEX Fund.  The concept is to do something similar to the Winklevoss's fund for Bitcoin but on a much smaller scale, providing micro investments and technical and management guidance to help foster growth in the ecosystem.  You can follow @SHIBEXF on Twitter for now and watch for further announcements.

Second, is Shibidends.  This is a dividend program that will pay out to SHIBE users from a goodwill fund funded by participating vendors.  We have an exchange and a payment solution in progress that will participate in the fund.  A portion of the fees from these is going to be set aside as goodwill to reward the community using SHIBE.  Unlike other programs you don't need to register for anything or buy anything.  It will be like a stake on your stake.

These are projects by the dev team to support SHIBE.  In addition we also have the Shibe Council representing the community and guiding the evolution of the coin.

The dev team behind this coin has a lot of professional experience and is committed to the long term support and growth of the ecosystem.

Best wishes,

Energion

Here is a hint for newer people, when you see this level of FUD (Fear uncertainty or doubt, or Facts u deny), often there is a great deal of monetary value they are trying to obscure. I suggest you go to the #shibecoin IRC and check it out yourself. Some of the people posting FUD are competitors, or sharks, or perhaps they just don't have the foggiest notion what is going on. I pick all the best (more profitable) coins, and oddly, always lots of FUD in each of them. An odd coincidence I suppose?

I personally have found some big money and big names behind this coin, accumulating more, and from what I have witnessed, some are manipulating the markets down. I suspect when they are done the price will skyrocket. Always worked that way in the past. The IRC is the place to start real research and see how vast the community is, and compare that to other coins in the past. That is a very good indicator of where this coin is going long term.

SHIBE = MOON

Where are the haters now?

Seems to be less!

I'm PanicShibe, btw. Once I get all my coins out of the exchanges I'll post my wallet address if you'd like to check it out. I have about 1.9m Shibe at the moment. I rented from betarigs and nicehash, and had between 300 and 600mh/s running for about 20 hours, then around 150-250mh/s for another 10 hours or so. I mined on chickenstrips, suchpools, and nitropool. I was awake for 40 hours, babysitting my nicehash rentals because things were going so well. Then I went to sleep, woke up, and started arbing between bittrex and poloniex. If this makes you rage, I'm sorry. Everything I did was on the up and up. I was in the right place at the right time... I am genuinely sorry if you weren't. We can still go to the moon together. I'm ready whenever you are <3

btw. I'm still buying. Are you?

someone called me?




SHIBUYE!!!

i'm a member of the 5 million shibe club 

pools keep dumpin i keep buyin.

Bitcoin wasn't launched on btctalk, big scam.

I gave two addresses:
1.The premine address with 0.5% coins (first 12 blocks) - everything is more or less fair  with this address (if you consider premine being fair).
2.The questionable address is the one that mined every single block from 13-90, and blocks from 13-56 were mined before anyone new about this coin. This address apparently belongs to dev's pool that is now offline. What is your suggestion, who has mined these coins?

I don't think that this is AC dev, but what the dev has done is just ridiculous.

Once again - I am providing the link to this questionable address using your preferred explorer:
http://blockexplorer.uni.me/address/Sa5bmQiDwDnVFuhgeFSmQ6RjBSxgFA4aTd

Please, analyze this address and block times on your own. I am not accusing anyone but please do your homework.

The announcement was made at 19:03:00 UTC (UNIX time 1399230180).

The first 12 blocks totalled 1.5 million coins, which is 0.5% of the total 300 million coins, so that is the advertised premine.

But actually, the first 56 blocks have timestamps earlier than the announcement time (example: block 56 has timestamp 1399230110, i.e. more than one minute before announcement).

And if you assume it takes people a minute or two to download wallets, setup miners, get synced up etc, that is approximately 60 blocks pre-mined.

As the first 50 blocks have extra high rewards, the premine calculations would be:

 - 56 blocks is 6.85 million, i.e. 2.3% premine
 - 60 blocks is 7.25 million, i.e. 2.4% premine

Before I use bold red letters and the 'S' word, can someone please check I'm not missing something stupid?

scam launch time, worst than any premine or instamine

tnx, i wanted a confirmation about this scam
