[ANN] Emerald - EMD, a great cryptocurrency | Version 1.3 released!

[picasso]

Version 1.3 is released for Emerald! New checkpoints are added for better security and fixed some earlier issues! Please upgrade as soon as possible!


The new alt coin - emerald has been launched

Emerald is an innovative new alt coin. It is a Litecoin clone, so it uses scrypt for mining. Emerald uses a relative fast 20 second block time for continuously releasing the coins to miners.

The block reward is 5 emeralds per block, will be halved every 2 block years. Total emeralds released will be 31,499,000. Difficulty will be re-targeted every block hour, or every 180 blocks, it ensures a relative fast difficulty adjustment to the network hash power. Emerald has a 3 confirmations for transaction (so a fast average 1 minute transaction confirmation), and 50-confirmation maturity for newly mined coins.

To start the emerald in a fair launch, the blocks below 400 do not give any emeralds. Then by each 300 blocks, the payout will be 1, 2, 3 and 4 emeralds (that is, blocks 401-700 pay 1 emerald each, blocks 701-1000 pay 2 emeralds each, blocks 1001-1300 pay 3 emeralds each, and blocks 1301-1600 pay 4 emeralds each). Starting from block 1601, full 5 emeralds are given by each block. The 1st block is a special block of 400K created by us for bounty, giveaways, services, coin mixing service, etc.

Connection port is 12127, and RPC-port 12128.

Pass, we have other coins to focus on now.... we had a decent run without any new alts..... dont get involved, we need to focus on what we already have.

[Fallout]

400k premine with 10k bounties ... same as always ...

[arlington]

yet another one, lol. At block 217 now...

[barwizi]

Please explain ::: I really am wondering

Step 1
-Make premine untraceable
Exhibit 1: http://coinminer.net:2750/block/0037521dad470386bdbcaa7a3be74e1b16a3a1ea922face19602f2fcfb8d7027

Step 2
-Spread out the wealth so no one knows what you use it for:
Exhibit 1: http://coinminer.net:2750/block/4be58ff1b4db2542426dd4bc85c74d88e1b57f67ae5d1c1dc7d5e98c20095bff
Exhibit 2: http://coinminer.net:2750/block/627c12d7c0580406129671b1531339a9457cd71d921c61ddc14cc0ada2a7986c
Exhibit 3: http://coinminer.net:2750/block/c7f84e7779aecbda3b5c5e3430bfef4512c3e91526d6966ea9e7e8f439e7d0fc
Exhibit 4: http://coinminer.net:2750/block/1f17784c6583823ff4d3233e15ad95d07c9fde86f5ea0e8d68a94043eaa6869d
Exhibit 5: http://coinminer.net:2750/block/2904c6ecd3c2b2e523205db76428af7c0d1fa93d5c1d27982eb183bbbb78aea3
Exhibit 6: http://coinminer.net:2750/block/da2d653eb56ea0f25f041c7c6407f038373350f690c84d22e7fe4607fef451e2

Step 3
-Scam a bunch of people with false promises of the coins being used for development.

Step 4
-Celebrate since no one has any idea what you actually did with the coins.

Must have seemed like a smart plan at the time...

EDIT:
Part 2- After I posted this our artist "picasso" decided to create some more magic:

[AquaMan]

this is an entertaining place, so many alt coins, not a single one that is not premined? Can anyone name one, so that I can mine it 

I see a lot of greedy, confusion, anger etc here in this sub-forum. It is a small world that reflects the real bigger world.

  Read some of op's recent posts, he complains about pre-mine, yet he does it himself.... lol, Next....

I hope I don't do a failed one like your ice which is melt

[saveawedge]

Fantastic coin design, it really looks like a diamond! You've spent a long time on the release! At least 20 minutes. I can really see this one taking off.

[The_Catman]

Code:

    if(nHeight == 1)
    {
        nSubsidy = 400000 * COIN;
    }

My my, and with 10K in bounties that leaves you with a pretty 390K in your pocket. I don't suppose you have any reasonable explanation for aaalll these coins, hmm?

[arlington]

many rejects, like all starts...

[dubs]

boring

[barwizi]

wait so someone has actually pointed their hardware at it 

[thisnewcoin]

block 806, instamining? lol

[vonross2012]

Fantastic here is your reward



Prove me wrong

[picasso]

Code:

    if(nHeight == 1)
    {
        nSubsidy = 400000 * COIN;
    }

My my, and with 10K in bounties that leaves you with a pretty 390K in your pocket. I don't suppose you have any reasonable explanation for aaalll these coins, hmm?

nothing shocking there:
- Arguntum took 200K "bounty" with average coin per block 2.5
- Stablecoin took 1.2 million for some non-exist service.

Emerald (5 emerald per block) took 400K for bounty, giveaways, and all services, is that excessive??

We stated that upfront clearly, nothing to hide. Don't mine if you don't like it.

lol, some instamining, but it's ramping up... diff should catch up soon.

[thisnewcoin]

man, someone having big power is there, I have 1.5 Mh/s, mined 10 mins did not get any, only rejects... sucks

[AlphaC]

ARG mined of total  = 0.3%
Emerald mined of total  = 1.14%

And we've already dedicated 50k to giveaways and another 50k for bounties, which is half of what was mined.


You're not very good at math I guess?
