Note: i'm not the dev or the founder of this, just posted about it after seeing discussion on IRC.As you may have possibly heard by now, RT's Max Keiser has decided to launch a cryptocurrency.
#KeiserCoin is coming ahead of Kanye coin. Who'll reach $1 bn. market cap first? We'll be featuring my coin on @KeiserReport this week.
He also retweeted this thread earlier (
https://twitter.com/steveomarburg/status/419881205702475776) - leading many to wonder whether the community had stumbled upon the code ahead of launch.
He later withdrew the retweet and posted the reply below
.@steveomarburg This is not the real deal. Watch @KeiserReport this week for the real keiser crypto news! Kanye will never know what hit him
- Hi Max!
Source and binaries:
http://coingen.bluematt.me/build/90f2d106.zip - found on the public status page at
http://coingen.io/status.htmlSeems to be a Scrypt coin which is otherwise a BTC clone.
Total supply: 21,000,000
Block reward: 50
Someone from IRC found a Github
https://github.com/keisercoin-official/keisercoinSomeone from IRC created a seed node - 198.50.239.178
Solo mining in windowsRun client QT then close it.
Navigate to System Drive (prob C:) > Users > your windows user > AppData > Roaming > Keisercoin and create a text file called keisercoin.conf
rpcuser=yourrpcuser
rpcpassword=yourrpcpassword
rpcport=9336
server=1
listen=1
addnode=198.50.239.178
Restart client, then point your miner at 127.0.0.1:9336
Disclaimer: This will probably be restarted with a new genesis block, so mining is probably fruitless. Get involved at your own risk. I do wonder why they made the coingen downloads public by default.
