["high summer"]

Re-announcing this coin for several reasons:
* Significant changes have been made to the inner workings since the first launch. (Most recently, the KGW.)
* Many issues that made this coin difficult to integrate with standard pools and exchanges in its original form have now been eliminated.
* It's finally on an exchange (see below, more to come soon).
* The very loyal community in the East feels very strongly that a re-announce is long overdue.
* The seasonal block reward is in "high summer" now (11368 APEs!). It will never be this high again. (Winter is coming.)

"The ApeCoin is an Old-World AnthropoidCoin, more specifically a clade of TaillessCatarrhinePrimateCoin" --ScienceCoin

""ApeCoin", from Old English ApaCoin, with cognates in several other Germanic CoinLanguages, is a word of uncertain origin. It is possibly an onomatopoetic imitation of AnimalCoin chatter." --DictionaryCoin

"An ape/coin chimera: part ape, part coin. "[What's the deal here? Is] the whole...other than the sum of the parts[?]" --Kurt Koffka

"This coin seems...reasonably...er. I, which is to say, <ahem>. I have no problems at all with this coin." --Several sources


"It doesn't sync! Why doesn't—"
    (muffled)"...wait...sync..."
"Ok. Oh, there it goes. Thanks."

Coin parameters:
Algorithm: Scrypt
Total Coins: 6,839,998,399
Target Spacing: 1 minute
Difficulty Re-targeting: Every block (Kimoto Gravity Well)
Block Reward: Currently over 11000 APEs, varies rhythmically in 1.5 month long seasons.

For anyone who has downloaded an ApeCoin wallet, there are new versions of all clients available for download and the GitHub repository has been updated. It's a "hard fork", which will cause a change to the block rewards system and limit the supply in a wiggly fashion.

http://www.apecoin.org

The changes to the block reward take effect at block 30,000, which will hit around 3.7 days from now. After that, older clients will start having their new transactions rejected...and the only cure for the disorientation and depression they'll feel will be to bite the bullet and upgrade.

After block 30,000:
1) The block reward will start a gradual decay toward zero, which will be reached in around 10 years. At which point the total APE supply will be 6,839,998,399.

2) The reward will fluctuate rhythmically as it decays, with a cycle-duration of 3 months. At the first peak, the reward will be higher than 10000 APEs; This may cause some people to "go ape" (as they say). It will almost certainly cause apes to go ape, and will probably empty out the zoos in metropolitan areas until the mania dies down, at which point they will lope back to their cages and enclosures.

3) The difficulty will be recomputed every 30 minutes rather than once per day.

Here's a Wolfram Alpha plot of the first year's block rewards:

Subsidy & Total Coins:

ApeCoin (scrypt) just went live yesterday and seems to have survived its first night without crib-death. So...it could use some pool action now, as solo mining has lost its usefulness. If anybody here runs one of those mining pool sites or has dirt on someone who does, let me know.

It could also use some exchange action, now that you mention it. (You mentioned it.)

Thanks!
