[Introduction]

Introduction
This is a prerelease thread for parabolas.   This cryptocurrency will launch with a pool, website, faucet, block explorer, and hopefully a store and exchange so that there are multiple services on launch.  When the coin has a use, it will be more valuable than just a coin to be day traded.

Stats
Proposed Algos:
MARS, RC6, Rijndael (AES), Serpent, Square and Twofish
Proposed Monetary Distribution:
Semi-scarce
Currency Symbol:
X^2
Block rewards:
95% goes to miners (every 94th block is a x6 block, with miners getting the regular reward and devs getting the rest)
Why is there a dev fund?
This coin will have NO premine, so the devs will not be able to make a quick profit.  Instead, we will get a gradual payoff as the coin matures.

If you want to contribute, just shoot me a PM!
Remember that if you contribute, you will be given a share of the dev fund!

Does innovation really matter in a coin?  What I want to see is just a coin that launches with lots of services and that can maintain itself (its network) for a long time securely.

Why use is an innovative coin without services?

Is there a place where we can see when each two-week activity period starts and ends?
thanks

Post theories here! 

What other currencies other than BTC?

Should I use windows or Linux for mining rigs?

Windows- lots of drivers and can support multiple GPUs, but costs about $100

Linux- free but not very many drivers.  I'm not sure about the GPUs, but there ARE some premade mining distros.

Which one?

Hi everybody!

I'm a newb!
