With over 384 billion MOON available, there is one coin for each millimeter of distance from the Earth to the Moon!

Mooncoin is intended to provide the thrill of big coin hunting and trading but with long-term stability. Based on sane block release targets, Mooncoin should provide years of good mining for all ages and equipment types.

We are taking a "shenanigan free" approach to launch by trying to make sure we have our ducks in a row to reduce stress on our fellow passengers. We want to provide a fair, positive experience for everyone!

This means that on launch day:

• You will be able to mine.
• You will have access to a trusted, third-party pool (Multipool.us).
• You will have access to a block explorer.
• You won't have to worry about forked chains.

Details:

Algorithm: scrypt
Max coins: 384,400,000,000 MOON (yes, billion!)
Block time: 90 Seconds
Difficulty re-target time: 8 hours
Pre-mining: Absolutely none!

Block rewards:

Specials:

• On July 21st, 2014 it will be the 45th anniversary of the lunar landing by the Apollo 11 astronauts. On this date, Mooncoin will begin to release one MOON for every USD spent on the Apollo space program at an accelerated rate: 25.4 billion!
  
• Every block number based on the lunar cycle will be awarded a 2x payout bonus!
• Other specials will come in future releases. We're open to suggestions!
