You can PM me if you prefer to stay private. We will only post your name if you ask us to

Here's the deal. We need to add merged mining to Benjamins. I know it will be a hard fork, which is the reason we are looking for outside help from someone smarter than us. From what we understand, it's not too hard to add merged mining. The only reason we are outsourcing it is due to the many pools and exchanges that need to update. We need it done right the first time and I'm just not confident enough with merged mining procedure to implement it myself

Benjamins is going on Paysha.com when they launch and we would like to ensure safe transactions with a secure network via merged mining. We have pools ready to update

We are offering a 10,000 BEN Bounty (little more than .25 BTC at today's super low price), but you must have both experience and a good reputation for not being shady. If you have no idea what BEN is, I'll quote the OP below

Thanks for taking a minute to read this and I really hope we can find someone reliable and trustworthy to help us out here

What is a Benjamin?

The United States one hundred-dollar bill ($100) is a denomination of United States currency featuring statesman, inventor, and diplomat Benjamin Franklin on the obverse of the bill. On the reverse of the banknote is an image of Independence Hall. The $100 bill is the largest denomination that has been printed since 1969, when the denominations of $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000 were retired

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing says the average life of a $100 bill in circulation is 90 months (7.5 years) before it is replaced due to wear and tear. The bills are also commonly referred to as "Benjamins", in reference to the use of Benjamin Franklin's portrait on the denomination, or "C-Notes", based on the Roman numeral for 100. The bill is one of two denominations printed today that does not feature a President of the United States; the other is the $10 bill, featuring Alexander Hamilton. The time on the clock of Independence Hall on the reverse, according to the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing, shows approximately 4:10 on the older contemporary notes and 10:30 on the series 2009A notes in 2013

On April 24, 2013, the Federal Reserve announced the new $100 bill would enter circulation on October 8, 2013. The new bill will cost 12.6 cents to produce and have a blue ribbon woven into the center of the currency with "100" and Liberty Bells, alternating, that appear when the bill is tilted

He's right. It's going to go a LOT higher

I could probably get merged mining to work myself, but I would rather have someone who knows more than me to make sure it's done right. I will probably post a bounty if I can't find anyone who is confident enough

The reason is that it will be a fork. That means a mandatory upgrade and with all the pools and exchanges BEN is on, we need to make sure it's done right the first time

You are still able to mine only Benjamins directly, even if we add merged mining

The biggest drawback is that people will mine BEN without caring about it and likely dump them right away. However, it's a small price to pay for us to piggyback on some BTC hash power and keep the network more secure than no merged mining

Yea, you might have to do a few tweaks, but pools are capable of it. Basically you mine Bitcoin and the merged coin at the same time with the same hashpower

This would let the network do what it wants to do, but give it the needed hashpower to push forward without changing the coin itself. It's going to be the best option for the situation we are in. However, I will need to find someone that can do this right since it will be a fork and we have a lot of pools and exchanges to get updated

If anyone has any experience putting merged mining into an already launched SHA coin, please contact me

Would you guys prefer faster blocks and quicker difficulty adjustment or merged mining with BTC?

Merged mining would ensure the best network security, and is the route I would prefer, but we would need to find someone to help us put that in. I think it's the best solution to keep the coin supply where it should be, but also increase network hashrate and get it somewhat stable

Ok, so you guys want 2 minute blocks? That's what you want the fork to do?

Also, what block? We have a lot of pools and exchanges to get updated

You guys aren't taking into account the several years of mining we would eliminate in the future if we shorten block times. That would essentially eliminate several years of mining for coins prior to just tx fees from the life of the coin. I think a shitty few months now is worth it to give the coin a few extra years of mining life

Prayer's suggestion was pretty good, though, but even still we are taking away a MINIMUM of 20% of the mining life of the coin if we do this

Followed 

Too scared to add Benjamins I see

TakeiCoin seems to be dead. One less SHA competitor, I guess

Thanks, we are happy to be a part of your site!!

Slow blocks

Just wait, I'm sure someone will try to dump some

An efficient ASIC with something like those tip bot things in that video would be sweet if all the coins were merge mined. Then Paysha could just do a pool for all 4 coins and have the miner/pos auto connect to that company's pool id

Prayer, that's not a bad suggestion, either. But by your numbers, we aren't that far off of it correcting itself in about a month

The price has nearly doubled since we said we didn't plan on a fork. Is that a sign that we did the right thing?
