Pre-Announcement: FurryCoin
The coin for your fursona.
Furrycoin will be released to the general public in the next few weeks. It will be a Scrypt based cryptocurrency targeted at a specific community in the hopes it will be useful and encourage others who are making altcoins to apply more then just a meme or cute image, but to start using altcoins to further promote and encourage use of cryptocurrency instead.
What is the purpose of FurryCoin?The main purpose of FurryCoin is to introduce cryptocurrency to a new community with the hope it will be a useful and fun service. Our team includes members of the community but with limited ties in real life, which makes the community a good choice to offer a new cryptocurrenty service for us. We are going into this full steam ahead and if successful hope to work with the Bitcoin community to establish other altcoins targeted and marketed towards other online communities to encourage widespread use.
But why Furries? Aren't they weird and stuff?Although you may choose to make fun of them and I suspect I'll receive a few troll posts below, the community was chosen because of real life ties and because it is not that far removed from the current batch of altcoins, that is coins based on a popular meme such as Dogecoin or cute imagery like most of the coins out there already.
Our approach is to offer FurryCoin as a marketed and targeted service and not bash it down peoples throats like some religion. We do this by using imagery and terminology that is familiar and offering small rewards for people who take the time check out FurryCoin, the value of which is leveraged from the value and ability to exchange the currency with Bitcoin, although we suspect our target audience mostly won't do this initially and that will be a market for you all to exploit if you so choose.
How can I get involved?To realize our goal we need your help! This is a community project and we welcome all positive ideas, suggestions and involvement. We currently need and will provide bounties after FurryCoin launches for the following:
- Lead launch mining pool
- Currency exchange
- Launch mining pools
- Additional developers
- Artists/graphic designers - create a new logo, buttons or the coin design!
We would also like to extend the bounty offer to anyone in the community who creates something fun and exciting using FurryCoins, such as faucets, games and other cool stuff. We will also provide you with a link from our website to help spread the word and FurryCoin to help kickstart the initial funding of your project once we approve it.
How are you funding this?We are going to do a premine at the start as this will be our only opportunity to ensure funds are available to encourage involvment and fund the above. None of the team has access to mind melting hashing power nor has mates to hash the plannet so when the coin launches the vast majority of blocks will be all over to you.
