Announcing LuckyCoin:

Feeling lucky punk? No? Well you should! LuckyCoin offers super lucky blocks, where your reward can be x2 ,x5 and even x58! That's not the best part though. The best part is we've designed this coin with fairness in mind. That's why we developed an accelerated difficulty adjustment algorithm. The difficulty will be adjusted much faster in the beginning, so if high hash power jumps on, it will rise much faster than normal. The difficulty will be retargeted about every 4 hours (block time). We are confident this can combat high hash botnets from orphaning all of us.

Specs:
- 1 min block target
- 3 confirms per transaction
   - Difficulty retargets every 4 hrs with accelerated diff adjustment in the beginning
   - Initially 88 coins per block, halves every 2 years (1,036,800 blocks)
   - Total around 200 millions coins
   - connection port is 9917, RPC-port 9918

   Random Super-blocks:
    For the 1st 50000 blocks
    - 5% chances 188 coins/block
    - 1% chances 588 coins/block
    - 0.01% chances 5888 coins/block (so expect 5 such blocks)

    After 50000 blocks
    - 5% chances 2 times the normal coins (i.e. if normal is 88 coins, you get 176 coins)
    - 1% chances 5 times the normal coins
    - 0.01% chance 58 times the normal coins

It's common courtesy to show the source code before launching the coin.

Edit2: "3 confirms per transaction"   Ugh.  scary, unsafe.

lol, they dun went and stole our lucky coins!

[Hydroponica]

Coin is too slow, not competive with current coins. Pass. Also, these random prize blocks, are just plain retarded. 5000K coins in one block? Are you on Glue? Or are you intentionally making your coin worthless, from the get go?

[Hazard]

There's no possible 'random' method of determining block rewards. Whatever mechanism you have in place will be cheated to hell in back. Just like with junkcoin.

[Kruncha]

We'll see how this one goes, one has to make a splash at some point.

Someone sometime, is going to hit it. The mere fact that there is any chance, of solo mining 5K coins, devalues it by a lot.

lots of parents will die.

Is that cryptic for a high orphan rate?

The OP is silent as to how many blocks will already have been mined when the coin is released.
