Dear Reader,

FoxCoin is dying. I suggest you discontinue all mining operations and other operations involving foxcoin as you are only wasting your time. As a developer I had plenty of fun with FoxCoin involving designing the statistics page and the mining page as they were challenges for my limited programming knowledge. Even though FoxCoin never reached its ultimate goal I am still happy with the turnout and the fact that it has lasted this long.

As of this message all development support of FoxCoin has been discontinued. All FoxCoin-Foundation provided services will remain online for a while.

As a final note I would like to say I have not profited from FoxCoin (despite having the opportunity) in terms of FOX spent I've far exceeded the premine. It wasn't long after launch that the foundation became entirely donation-dependant as the premine funds were depleted.

The remainder of the foundation funds (~130k FOX) are sitting in a few addresses. They have not been spent and I have no intention of dumping those coins onto an exchange.

A small premine would be best

[lasciv]

If you don't put your money in this nobody's gonna waste time with this.

 

[techbytes]

The fox says no premine...

[Nullu]

What does the fox say? PoW PoW PoW PoW PoW pe-PoW.

No premine will ensure complete fairness.

A small premine, equal perhaps to 30 minutes of coin output (7500 coins) may be slightly better, if all (or most of) the rewards (pools, block explorer, first shop, etc ...) will be set before coin launch. Slight decrease in fairness may result in not so small increase in provided services and usability of the coin.

Larger premine that that ... and it will  do more bad than good.

I see. Thanks for the input, I will await for more responses and then speak with the devs about this. Also thanks to users techbytes and japie25 for also providing their 2 cents. All your opinions and suggestions will be taken into consideration.

Also I can assure you all that if we do indeed decide on a small premine like this the team will be open about it and the status of the coins will be public.

[Safty]

upto 1% premine should be okay

[lasciv]

.5 is fine, if you have to..

half for you, the other half for promotion..

[r4d15h]

I cant see how it would be worth your time to launch the coin without pre-mine. If you have to start mining with the rest of us then there is no benefit so why not just mine a coin thats already launched.

The number of alt-coin launches at the moment mean that only the ones that launch well and have continued following will have a chance. If you need to premine to make it happen then i would say that 1% or less shows an absense of greed.

All the best with it

Thanks you r4d15h, lasciv, and Safty for your suggestions relating to the premine. I myself am leaning towards a 10,000 - 50,000ish coin premine just to give us a kickstart (Keep in mind a 1% premine would be 10 Million coins, and considering the rate of block generation, it would take ~4 weeks for everybody else to generate that many. And by the 1400'th day the premine would count for ~4% of all the FoxCoins in existence. Still have yet to talk with 2 other members of the team about it.

Suggestions relating features for the Wallet, alternative logos, etc are encouraged.

Thank you.

Updated OP with things the devs want input on in the 'suggestions' section.

Thanks lasciv for the rather informative post.

Still looking for other suggestions & input, thank you all.

absolutly irrelephant in this thread!

[lasciv]

Do not delay launch.
For any reason. Especially if it's 3 am in Europe, and you have bunch of greedy motherfuckers waiting on your coin, because you will be flamed.
Like scrypt Tesla coin.
