Hey everyone,

Thanks for the comments! Just some quick notes and updates today:

- We've adjusted the faucet payout and delay, as mentioned by the last couple of posters. We'll be adjusting this regularly, so don't be too surprised when you see changes. We've been at war with spam bots claiming coins (no big surprise!) so we'll be working to minimize the amount of BGNR in the hands of bot owners while keeping faucet payouts flowing to all legitimate users.

- The confirmation delay and backlog for faucet transactions is gone, payments are caught up and are confirming quickly now.

- We've been working on a major update, which we will hopefully have ready for you this coming week. No promises but we're working hard to get it ready.

- Our Twitter Bounty campaign ends today! If you want your chance to claim 220 BGNR, please be sure to do so ASAP.

Go here before the campaign ends tonight to claim your 220 BGNR bounty:

BGNR is currently traded at NovaExchange.

We will be looking to expand the exchanges we are listed on in the near future as we develop, keep an eye out!

Offline wallets are available from our website. Online wallets are currently only available through the exchange above.  

We want to remind users that we are not affiliated with NovaExchange and everyone must be cautious when using any online wallet.  Always remember that security starts with you.

Hope that answers your questions, welcome to BeginnerCoin!

Thanks for the suggestions and the support!

Our faucet is still very new, so we will probably not add another faucet yet, as we need to make sure the one we have is properly maintained... but it's very likely that we will be adjusting the payouts and the payout timing in the future to improve distribution. We are also considering bounties to encourage other people to setup their own BGNR faucets, but again, we haven't made a firm decision yet.

We are also considering paying users to post good, helpful content on our forum, but we also don't want to encourage spam posts just to drive up post counts. There is a balance to be had there that we think might be manageable. We have a couple of other more pressing things in development at the moment but this is something that is definitely on our minds.

Anyway, we hope that gives you an indication of where we're at. Thanks again for commenting and for the support.

Hey everyone, quick update - confirmations are starting to come through on older faucet transactions, but they're delayed. We have a couple fixes in progress that we'll be putting in place that should help improve this over the next few days. We have confidence that all transactions from the faucet will be confirmed eventually, so we just added more BGNR to the faucet.

Thanks for your continuing patience everyone! Cheers!

Hi, thanks for letting us know! We're aware of the problem, some transactions from the faucet are not currently confirming.

Once we get those transactions to properly confirm, we'll continue adding more to the faucet as we have been.

We're working on this issue right now. Thank you for your patience!

Great to have you on board! Thanks for taking advantage of our Twitter bounty, please be sure to take a look at our other bounties:

Hi James, unfortunately it seems like someone attempted to hack the mineblocks.eu server and as result that pool is temporarily offline.


We are in the process of getting ourselves on additional pools.  Sadly for the short term we are pool-less but we are actively working to rectify that ASAP!

BGNR is currently traded at NovaExchange:

Perfect, thanks for letting us know you're up and running!

We have lots more already in the works. Look for an update from us likely within the next week. :-)

Also, for anyone just reading this thread for the first time, be sure to check out the BGNR Twitter Bounty campaign that we're running with PromoPlugs right now:

Awesome! Thanks! We'll paste this in for all future troubleshooting replies.

Hmm, thanks for letting us know. We just did a getpeerinfo of who's online and it's possible none of the nodes were online when you tried to join in (our node was temporarily shut off due to an update.)

Here's an expanded list with some new nodes online right now:

addnode=52.1.59.136
addnode=23.102.154.155
addnode=92.3.44.10

addnode=74.69.190.173

addnode=23.102.154.155
addnode=67.205.142.101
addnode=49.151.134.119


If you add in those new nodes and your wallet isn't back up to snuff, let us know and we'll try to help you troubleshoot.

If anyone else is having problems with the network - or NOT having problems - please feel free to pop in and let us know, it would be helpful. Thanks!

Hi, I'm sorry you're having trouble with the wallet. Here are the nodes:

If you still have trouble see this post on our forum:

Thanks so much for the support! Proof-of-Captcha is an interesting concept, but we will be able to keep the faucet funded with block 1 for decades to come - and probably indefinitely with some extra development work. A long-term Twitter reward for regular posting is also a great idea, we'll consider this in the future after this Twitter bounty promotion ends.

Thanks for posting and thanks for the suggestions! Great to have you with us.

Thanks a lot for taking advantage of this bounty everyone!

We also have a few others available here if you're interested:

Hi James, thanks for the question! The total amount of coins that will ever be in circulation when all coins are mined (many years from now) is 135 million. There will never be more than that, just like Bitcoin will never have more than 21 million coins.

If you (or anyone else) has any questions, please don't hesitate to let us know. Thank you!

Thanks a lot for joining us Ryan! I'm glad you're excited about BGNR and that the announcement was very clear (that's something we were specifically trying to do. We are trying hard to be beginner-oriented.)

Our goal is very straightforward - to get more people interested in and using cryptocurrency! Be sure to use some of the BGNR you're getting from the faucet to share and show friends and family how it all works. The more people that use cryptocurrency, the more the entire network (Bitcoin, BGNR and all other cryptocurrencies) is worth as a whole.

Thank you for joining us and for the feedback! We definitely have a lot more planned for the future and hope the community keeps growing as it has been. :-)

Glad the faucet is working for you! Thank you for letting us know.

Thank you for organizing this campaign for us! We will add this to our bounty board and will be sending out an e-mail to our updates today.

For those of you interested in earning additional BGNR after you're done with your Twitter bounties, go register for e-mail updates (and other bounties!)

That is terrible to hear - thank you for taking a moment to keep us updated.

Best of luck for a speedy recovery!
