[GiftCoin]

GIVEAWAY CLOSED - KEEP CHECKING BACK FOR OUR NEXT GIVEAWAY  

EVERYONE WHO ENTERED WAS PAID! - Thank you for your support

If you did not receive your donation, please download the latest version (with new checkpoints!)https://mega.co.nz/#!hdpRCRTI!E00qITDtYtMwiyQxgRVKFy_wViwDqd-kRV2JD_VDckE

GiftCoin launch had a lot more response than anticipated, so what happened?

- Bitcointalk crashed at launch time meaning we couldn't post links to wallet on time
- Once we posted the link, so many miners tried to mine the same blocks we got a tonne of rejects and orphaned blocks
- Small bug in the Windows wallet meant checkpoints were not set correctly

I saw unconfirmed coins in my wallet, now they've gone, what happened?!
This situation is best describe by Jimmy @ Cryptocointalk.com:

It's because the blocks are being found really fast and the re-target is every 2016 blocks.  Rejected means you solved the block, but someone else solved it faster

I understand this might be really frustrating, we released the Windows wallet for solo-mining to gave a chance at getting some blocks.. but don't worry! You can still grab some coins at the giveaway.

We are sincerely sorry to anybody who tried to mine this coin but had no success.. We were initially planning to give away 25 GFT each at the giveaway, but instead we are DOUBLING it to 50 GFT

To qualify post your GiftCoin wallet address followed by your favourite TV show!

Giveaway closes at 4th Jan 2014 13:00:00 EST

Please note - The GiftCoin devs do not operate any GiftCoin pools, please contact operators if you are having issues

Dragon Ball Z

hope I get the extra bonus for first one to post
(...also I did not get paid by bettercoin for 8 hours of mining from start-time,
which is bad for coin's reputation - you should contact them and tell them to release
everyone's payout)
thanks

Yeah launch was a mess, I gave up trying to mine anything with my measly 50ks/s. I guess it is understandable though, just a bummer I didn't get a lot of giftcoins as planned!

Thanks for your generosity though! My favorite TV show is Breaking Bad without a doubt!

I gave the launch a try, but hit a fat zero on pools, solo etc.
My favorite show? Yikes, probably Northern Exposure
