Also, I wanted to add to my previous post:
Even ignoring the steady network speed throughout the reductions in block rewards, ignoring our roadmap and future plans, ignoring everything we have going on behind the scenes, and just focusing on what's already out there...we've had a pretty successful 11 days. Here is a summary of a handful of what has already happened:
We launched with a 1-block premine which was all given away for promos...and with a 36-block difficulty retarget there was no 10,000 block instamine. For example, Megacoin may not have had a premine...but block 4000 was mined 3 hours in at a (near) 0 difficulty. Block 4000 of Murraycoin wasn't mined until 3 1/2 days after launch...with an average network speed of close to 100 MH/s and cumulative difficulty thousands of times higher. I choose Megacoin in this example because it was actually one of the more fair releases in the past 12 months. Massive premines and instamines have become standard at this point...and it was important to maintain standards of honesty and quality from the start.
We have the most attractive altcoin website out there...with domains sans hyphens or a goofy suffix -- murraycoin.com and murraycoin.org. Small victory...but these days it's worth mentioning.
We have already released 2 (optional) wallet upgrades adding checkpoints and other minor enhancements. We compiled these wallets for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. On that note, the Murraycoin wallet is (arguably, of course) the most attractive wallet out there. (Debian/Ubuntu packages on the horizon but technically that conflicts with the theme of this list -- just wanted to slip that in here.)
Within 24 hours of launch, we had a Murraycoin pool up on FusionHash -- the best mining operation out there. Look at the
Anoncoin luck over the past couple days -- unheard of. Also, they are donating their pool fees to the Bill Murray Charity Fund! You will be hearing a lot more about FusionHash soon -- cool team behind it.
We have received nearly 100,000 MRY in donations to the Bill Murray Charity Fund -- how much has CheeseburgerCoin raised for charity? We're 11 days in, guys.
There have been over 1000 Murraycoin wallet downloads.
We launched our own Murraycoin Block Explorer when the 3rd party block explorer kept dropping offline. Again, an example of our demand for quality and reliability.
We haven't been sued yet -- imagine that! A step beyond that, we're being followed on Twitter by Caddyshack Charity Golf (Bill Murray's annual charity golf event.) Extrapolate from that what you will...as we have nothing official to add yet. Again, all is going as planned. The believers and dreamers will be the winners...and believers and dreamers tend to be more generous when it comes to donating to a good cause.
We've followed through on every promise so far...and will continue to follow through on every promise. I could go on-and-on about everything we've accomplished behind the scenes and everything we have in the works...but I understand that results talk and that's what we're focusing on. We release news when results are imminent.
If you have questions...that's what we're here for. Great thing about nerds -- we don't have plans on Friday nights.
