Damn, you won.

[Snard]

Wouldn't that be Blowcoin?

I was able to compile it and mine genesis block on Linux:



Does anyone know how to compile it on Windows? (well, I haven't used Windows for like 2 years...)

I'll publish the sources later this day (if everything goes right)

[sn0w]

Ok, coin has officially launched, you can mine it now.

Check the first post for more info.

If you like mining in pools, try: http://snow.cryptopool.it/

more sha 256 asic crap, we don't want to have to spend 10k on hardware to compete with what btc owners already have.

another dump coin.

[Remember remember the 5th of November]

As far as a Windows -Qt client goes, I believe I can be of help, however I have not compiled any -Qt recently so I am not sure if it's still working.

[TBCM]

No Windows Qt wallet for mass public + a single miner with 11GH/s on mining pool during first minute of coin life = fail

[cryptohunter]

what is the point to this new wave of clones? no exchange will take them on unless they are outstanding in some way or show some new innovation. Not worth mining at all. Better to put hash on a coin that has value already like ltc, btc , mec etc.

I just wanted to have my own alt...

[LeftToeCut]

The stratum server does not appreciate the coin it seems, cannot submit the block. Have to head out, will take a look at it later. Turning it off for now.

dat name.

[Don007]

Please tell us, what does this coin offers what other (alt)coins don't have?

Just the name? --> Rubbish.

[tom99]

I think reward is overkilled it.

[MessyCoin]

Anyone know which other SHA-256 coins are Proof of Stake?

[Don007]

I don't know, I have no knowledge about many SHA-256.

Tell me what makes this coin really different?

Edit, that pool isn't working for me either.

(you'll have to compile it yourself; everything should work good)


Ahahahahahaahahahahahahaha
