[ANN] BeginnerCoin (BGNR): Free, Open-Source, Beginner-Friendly Cryptocurrency

[Potent]

92,000,000 BGNR in Block 1

LOL 

The reason why the coin is very cheap.

[BeginnerCoin]

Our goal is outreach and education. We're distributing our BGNR to everyone perpetually via our new faucet. We want to show complete beginners how to get their first coins, from start to finish. We have a very small amount in the faucet right now (we're testing, we want to make sure it works as expected) but we plan on scaling it up in the future if all goes well.

If anyone has any questions, please feel free to let us know, thanks!

[BeginnerCoin]

Thanks to everyone who has been testing our faucet! It looks like it's working as intended, so we've just added more BGNR.

Everyone using the faucet should be seeing double-digit BGNR payouts for a while. :-)

There is no Google Translate for Mandarin so for anyone willing to translate, that bounty will be slightly higher.

is this only for beginners? and dev are you a beginner in crypto or you've been around for a while?

It's only for beginners since anyone whose been around for more than a week would immediately balk at a pre-mine that huge

Even the explanation is laughable, 92 mil for a faucet that hands out "double digits" lol

Our intended audience is for people who've heard of Bitcoin but are not familiar with actually using the technology.  However, we welcome users of all experience levels since everyone can contribute to helping others learn.  We want people to use and familiarize themselves with using the wallets to see how they can use cryptocurrencies for themselves, either through their own altcoin or incorporating Bitcoin or other established currencies into their business.  Most the people whom we've talked to cryptocurrencies about have this idea that Bitcoin is the entire story and that it's a "hacker only" currency since that's what the majority of the media tends to focus on.  

We hope to break that mindset by giving people direct access to a zero risk coin and letting them form their own opinions based on first hand experience. Our coin isn't a technological advancement to the existing blockchain technology or sighted at replacing Bitcoin or any other existing altcoin.  We firmly believe there is plenty of room for many types of coins for differing purposes.

We've been using Bitcoin for years and currently accept it for our other projects and businesses.  We've operated low power mining setups and have built and experimented with several other altcoins.

This is the first coin that we are authoring and distributing, we've internally tested in-house coins prior to launch, but this is our first public release.  We have much more planned beyond what you see so far to help newcomers get used to using the technology.

I hope that answers your question, please feel free to ask anything else!

Hi, thanks for the feedback - there is only a modest amount in the faucet right now, as we want to make sure it goes through more testing before we put a lot more BGNR into it. We're in this for the long-term and we intend to keep the faucet ad-free and funded indefinitely so that all first-time cryptocurrency users can see how the process works. We have a lot of other ideas for distribution but we're trying to take it one step at a time to avoid any major problems.

After deleting my chain 8 days ago to try syncing from scratch and also trying fresh install on another computer I can confirm these addnodes work!!

I copy/pasted them into beginnercoin.conf file manually created in same location as wallet.dat. Exit and restart beginnercoin-qt.

I am not getting anywhere mining with the wallet anymore but at least the faucet works :-)

I guess it's a little bit outdated...

Thanks a lot for confirming that it's working for you! We really appreciate the support.

The huge surge in mining power (which we are grateful for) does mean that solo-mining is not viable, but we hope to maintain fair payouts to everyone via the faucet over time.

Thanks for the support! We don't expect to get listed on the big exchanges immediately, but we hope the long-term fair distribution of BGNR through our faucet will help expand community support. We may contact exchanges after the network has been live for a few months, and some may list BGNR independently as NovaExchange did, but we are in no hurry to expand to more exchanges. 

Our main goal right now is outreach and education. We also have many more developments in progress - please stay tuned!

Thanks for commenting and for the feedback! Yes, we're using the original BTC wallet look because that's the cryptocurrency most first-time users will be interested in, but we are offering a small bounty for updating the GUI.

We may increase this bounty and a few others in the near future. :-)

don't just rely on google translation, sometimes google translated them to become funny and laughable because google translated them by word and not by content.
