Is this intentional? This way everyone can download the client and get it running so that the first few people who download it don't have a massive advantage?

this will all be on

today? [I'm on the 7th here already]

exciting times....I no I will mine and get 0

Yes Windows and Linux builds will be available at release time, with Qt support, just like ppcoin v0.3.

The goal is to allow for more open discussion about Litecoin related topics. Topics and comments were getting censored and removed from /r/litecoin if your opinions differed from the moderators.

16M of the new total of 66.8M coin mine in first 3 month 20.5M in first 6Month. so only 4.1M/y each next 9.5 years.  sounds like insta-mine for 3 months then starve the market to make price higher to make money.

early adopter is not supposed to be get rich quick 30% of total in 6 month is just an extended insta mine for insider and friend. That look like we mine it it's ok, in fact to cover we get lots of coin to get rich.
you get the right problem, too much coin early, for the time to establish value. you respond with let it go some time and then nearly close the valve.

BTW your total of 265M a bottom of second column should be 66.8M + some post year 10 probably 72M or something like that or I miss 200M somewhere  


I like ALT crypto, but the scheme of get my friend rich scheme is just killing it. I'm still searching for an honest one other then litecoin (have other problem, but not this one)and it seems not much is available

p.S. insta-mine of this sort is sometimes also call starter superblock

Mtgox is not the most reliable site once again.

So your new method for Primecoin is just leaving the checkpointing system in place but disabled, and then letting the users turn it on if you think there's the possibility of a 51% attack?

In primecoin a similar checkpoint system is present, but it's user enabled, and by default not enforced. So without threats of 51% attack the system is actually dormant.
