[ANN] [GLT] GaltCoin open beta

[g4lt]

We are pleased to announce the open beta of GaltCoin, a scrypt-based cryptocurrency that will have 42,000,000 coins in existence and encourages extra layering of anonymity such as tor.  We still anticipate live release on 1/31, so stay tuned for that, but we've found that testnet and our limited resources just aren't providing enough testing capacity, so we'll let the world test it for us.    GaltCoin is available at http://galtco.in and via git and subversion from https://sourceforge.net/projects/galtcoin/  We have a IRC channel on freenode, #galtcoin, for any feedback you may have during this beta, or in fact anytime.  During this open beta, mining is allowed, but there should be minimal need for transactions at this early point in the game.  As we are still in beta, please keep comments in this thread constructive, you can express your opinions when the time comes.  We also are using Sourceforge's BTS, so if you do find any bugs, please submit them there. 


Warm regards and happy hunting

I wanted to clarify the open beta statement.

When we say open beta, we're releasing this into the wild and letting it grow legs. We're monitoring the network, making sure everything is working perfectly and getting our documentation written for general users.

We will not be building a pool ourselves, nor will we pay to be placed on any exchanges. One of the principles I hold dear is the market and community will support a quality product without having to bribe others to use it. I feel it's important as the coin "operators" our job is to build the product, provide you with the tools to start, and as the community grows the community will find the need to build a pool, or get the coin listed on exchanges as demand sees fit.

looks like a good coin.


A p2pool for GLT galtcoin is here:
the pool is finding blocks since this new coin has a low starting difficulty.

No block source, 8 days since first block on launch day.
No source code?

Looks shady, can you expand on what you plan to actually do with TOR?

but no point coingen coin with watermark

[SlidingHorn]

Why bother asking on this one?  

There's no source, already well over 20k blocks are mined (claim was 15k - I could be reading things wrong, though), the dev is unresponsive, and it's a coingen copy & paste job.

The only positive thing I can say about this "launch" is that the OP isn't a brand-newb & has a decent sense of humor (as evidenced by previous references to Stripes...and this announcement)



EDIT:  Sorry, the strikethrough is where I got this confused with yet another scam coin....

[blacklig]

Hmm.. can be good as long as anon coin is taking really loong time to implement zero coin..

Github fails to provide alternates for RCS, and isn't worth the paper its printed on.  Sourceforge has been there for decades and will be there long after we've shuffled our mortal coils.  And no. we won't MPM if we want pools.  I think we've made it rather specific that we're not in the mood to listen to people claiming to represent people other than themselves.  If you want to poolmine, have fun, we're not going to go out of our way for it.

Look, asshole, don't put your shit coin up without source code and then berate users for pointing it out.

The source files were NOT there until just recently.

You're late to the game, we had just over 1200 blocks mined when we started the open beta.  Sorry, not sorry, man

it's called SOURCEforge for a reason, the code's there, in both git and svn repositories.  I like subversion, so expect commits there a few minutes before git.  As for what we intend to do with tor, right now, we're just encouraging it by making sure that the sample conf file supports TOR nodes.  Eventually, I'd like to have the client actively try to shoot at known-to-the-computer tor networks to connect, but that's not on the front burner
