FurryCoin
Release Announcement
13 Jan 2014 - 11:30am UTC / 6:30am EST
Time has been revised to an earlier release time
Putting the WOW back into open source peer-to-peer cryptocurrencies!
Why 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 goal for FurryCoin is to introduce a new audience and not just be another alternative currency set up for the sake of it. There has been an explosion in alternative currencies recently and we hope to leverage this interest to further encourage use and promotion of cryptocurrency in a positive and fun way! We hope to one day see cryptocurrencies such as FurryCoin and Bitcoin used just like services such as Facebook and Twitter are used today, just another part of the global wonder that is the internet.
We see the link between Bitcoin and its alternative currencies as an important part of encouraging use of cryptocurriences, being able to exchange between them lends FurryCoin the value it needs to grow and prosper. The Bitcoin community also has the knowledge and power to achieve the wide spread use of cryptocurrency.
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.
- Additional mining pools - Please contact us!
- Currency exchange
- Faucets and gaming websites
If you are able to host a pool for us you will enjoy the benefit of a small headstart at launch on the general public!
We also 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.
FeaturesFurryCoin is a Scrypt based coin to allow end users to easily mine it with a basic gaming PC and will have a limited premine to fund bounties, kickstart projects, hold promotions to encourage use of FurryCoin and to cover some of our setup and running expenses. We have kept this to the minimum necessary to fund our project long term and we won't be mining this coin with uber hash rates once it launches as we simply don't have access to that kind of hardware. This means once FurryCoin launches the rewards are all over to you starting with the biggest random rewards after launch.
