[ANN] Tigercoin - TGC | SHA256 with Super Random Blocks | Please Upgrade to V1.1

[mintedstone]

Version 1.1 is released. Please upgrade.

Tigercoin - TGC

TGC is a fork of Bitcoin version 0.8, with addition of super random blocks.

Proof of work with SHA256 is used as in Bitcoin. The following specifications are implemented:
   - Each normal block has 128 coins
   - 45 seconds block time
   - Difficulty retargets every 20 blocks (approximately 15 mins).
   - mining payout will be halved every 3 months (every 172800 blocks)
   - once the payout reaches 1 coin/block, it will stay there to sustain the mining
   - Expected total mined coins will be 47,011,968 coins (not counting the one coin per block inflationary sustaining blocks)
   - 4 confirmations for transaction
   - 50 confirmations for minted blocks
   
   - Random bonus blocks are (on average):
      - 1 superblock of 512 coins every hour (1/80 chance)
      - 1 superblock of 2048 coins every day (1/1920 chance)

   - The default ports are 15660(Connect) and 15661(RPC).

To support early adopters, in the first 3 days - 5760 blocks, all the payouts (including superblocks) will be doubled.

No Premine.

{
"blocks" : 329,
}


80 blocks per hour? Did you release this somewhere else first?

[bogidu]

Well, considering how many people watch this forum for new coins, I wouldn't be surprised if that many had been found.  I know I've found quite a few and I'm only running 8 block erupters.


PS - 250TGC for 1BTC . . . right here, right now! 

[BChydro]

Wow difficulty is already 920?

[lucazane]

Website

tigercoin.info (under construction)


another coin launched with website under construction status... a site that may never come... big problem with a lot of alts is they all say they are gonna make all these stores and websites to support their coin.... then we wait as we mine... and get nothing.... not an impressive launch...

If you are responding to my post...

This coin has a block count of 80 per hour.
1 hour after release here the block count was 329.

Either 250 blocks were premined/instamined or this was released somewhere else prior to this thread.
