Pokémooney violates copyright laws by design. This is not official Nintendo initiative and we are using (*indirectly) Pokémon trademark without any permission as we think that mass-culture should not be the subject of any copyrights and the whole copyright system is corrupted long ago. But we don't mind to transfer this creation under control of the TM holder if community approve this action as a result of voting. It's always safe to use and trade Pokémooney. *We might also consider to release copyright-safe version of this software (production title: Pockemonium. 0.5 BTC bounty for better name).
IntroductionHave you ever thought how 'Pokémon Go' Took Over the World? Yes, we are very enthusiastic to head out to explore the surrounding area and augmented reality has gone from science fiction pipe dream to practical amazing reality nowadays. But why should people pay tons of fiat money to Nintendo just for virtual crap fuel instead of making advanced geolocation technology to actually mine cryptocurrency and develop new economy for brand new reality? Nintendo and Niantic unrevealed nasty creatures in augmented reality but we are going to unleash augmented treasures and use them on purpose.
Luckily, decent coder with strong cryptocurrency development background occasionally met AR guru a month ago and today we've finally decided to run Pokémooney - the very first geoloc-minable crypto out there! And it's just beginning, we are constantly searching for talented fellows and ideas!
Keeping in mind concepts and technologies from Huntercoin, La'zozz, Mangocoin and many other… and having all the necessary competences and frameworks for this stage we need community support to ride the wave of an expanding market and start new movement. This thing can be even more significant than Pokémon Go madness, welcome on board.
Pokémon Go use primitive geolocation and it is basically extremely vulnerable to location spoofing. We are way ahead with improved location check (our software do count nearby wi-fi spots, accelerometer data and many other factors in complex to prevent any attempts to cheat). There is trust rating for each device. Low-trusted devices can't gain Pokémooney. We just ignore all possible patent wars and use the best solutions available. Altogether, this makes Pokémooney one of the most reliable systems for fair distribution.
Pokémooney is designed to work with Magic Leap, HoloLens and other devices,
not only smartphones. It's not just another game but superfun cryptocurrency experience.
For the first term there are no character creation, no Pokémons and no battles - you just pick up Poké Balls as a valuable rarity and use them as any other crypto.
One can play Pokémon Go and hunt for Pokémooney at the same time and we really hope that Pokémooney will soon be used as a mean of payment for many games and services.

Donations and distributionDonations are now being accepted for the upkeep and support of Pokémooney.
25% of XPK will be distributed among donators (early birds). 14% are reserved for after-launch XPK sale. 27% reserved for bounties, development and in-game hunting.
Please understand that no shares in a company are offered here and no promises about any future rewards are made. The software related to Pokémooney comes without any sort of warranty or insurance. We cannot guarantee our software will be totally bug free or that it will function as claimed. Pokémooney itself does not come with any guarantee of success. A donatation towards Pokéemooney does not imply any obligations, promises or guarantees from either side: a donation is a donation and is non refundable. We give away a certain amount of Pokémooney (XPK) voluntarily to those who support Pokémooney and record it in the so-called genesis block. This will later be used as the first block in the blockchain and distribute the Pokémooney in circulation. Please do not consider Pokémooney (XPK) to be shares, futures, certificates, securities, bonds, treasures, profit-sharing agreements, or anything similar. We do call our donator shareholders. But donating itself, to emphasize once again, just means supporting the development of the project and nothing else. The Pokémooney (XPK) giveaway ends when Bitcoin block 432100 has passed.
Nobody who either helped developing Pokémooney or got involved in Pokémooney in any form will be held liable for unavoidable casualties, government orders, acts of civil or military authorities, delays in delivery of materials, any events that render the Pokémooney system unusable, and any losses or damages (including, but not limited to, the loss of coins, profits, goodwill or data) incurred, either directly or indirectly, through your use of the software, the protocol or any of Pokemooney's functionality / function and features. Please note that the Pokémooney network is under development and may experience significant changes before release: expectations regarding the form and functionality of the Pokemooney platform may not be met.
How many Pokémooney you get:Depending on the time your donation transaction appears in the block chain, you will be voluntarily credited a certain amount of XPK.
Donation-based distribution campaign has started August 26 2016 0:00 UTC (earlier donation to be counted).
There will be significant bonuses for early participants based on the following schedule:
- First & Second day bonus. Users who donate on the first two days will receive a bonus of 120%!

Important HintsPlease make sure, that you keep the private keys to the bitcoin addresses you used to send the donated BTC from in a safe place. All XPK are being sent to the public key associated with these addresses. More precisely, if you use funds from multiple addresses the first one appearing in the inputs is used to deliver your XPK. To avoid confusion it is always best to first send all your BTC to one address, and use that to participate in the project support campaign. In this context it is important to mention to *NEVER* use an exchange directly to support us as you most likely do not own the private keys to the addresses where the funds are sent from. Also: Bitcoin-Qt's coin control feature might come in handy.
Generally, you should be safe if you keep a backup of your wallet.dat in a safe place. Wallet backups and/or recovery phrases from Blockchain.info, HIVE, ect are fine as well. An easy import function will be integrated in the reference client to swipe your XPL from your wallet.dat. Also: if the first input is a m-of-n multisig wallet (m signatures of n public keys required), you will need at least m matching private keys to get access to your XPK. If you are not fine with this, do not donate from a multisig wallet.
If you are not sure that you have access to the private key, please contact us via PM or BitMessage and we provide you personalized donation address. Please contact BM-2cVFNQ11zUMo1UVNwuZVWgy4s6jn9KNtsF
Risk:The risk of failure is always a reality, only donate and participate if you can afford to.
In case of any major failure (like total lack of community support ) another bitcoin copycat with limited geoloc-functionality to be released. *(We trust this is the worst may happen, plan F).
Watch this thread for updates, feel free to ask question, criticize and participate!
