[ANN] BellaCoin [BELA] - scrypt coin - Annoucement

[twoturtles]

What is BellaCoin?

BellaCoin is a scrypt coin which is based off of Litecoin which came to be inspired by my daughter, Bella. Her favorites? Unicorns and flowers. That’s what you’ll find on a BellaCoin.

 

Why another alt coin, don't we have enough?

I'll agree in a heartbeat the alt coin market has beyond grown to beastly proportions.  However, my intentions and focus behind creating BellaCoin are pretty different from what's out there.  BellaCoin's primary objective and goal is to benefit children globally.  Organizations such as The Salvation Army and others that aim to help children in need are being reached out to by me with my plan explained.

 

What's your plan?

BellaCoin (BELA) will be given to participating organizations with voucher codes attached to amounts to give to donors as a "thank you".  What they can do in turn then is either save them, or spend them in the upcoming online storefront which will offer items only payable via BELA.  My daughter is my world and I love kids.  I'd rather do something meaningful with my knowledge than just something profitable.

 

Pre-mine?

Roughly about 30K or so are pre-mined for the sole purposes of the faucet I coded on the site, and to give to the aforementioned organizations free of charge.  Anything that runs out on the faucet moving forward from there will be donated via my personal BELA wallet.

another altcoin to the purgatory.

[ronaldinho_07]

fix the wallet before you do anything

[Cloudpost]

Dev say 30k premine and ppl report 200k  Really 

5 days of mining already? What a start 

[twoturtles]

Guys,

     Coin age and so forth is only showing because I didn't pre-mine in one shot.  I was using that time for testing.  In the middle of mining I'd stop, tweak the servers, mine, tweak the settings, mine.  I didn't want to mine and then for example test my pool and mine some more.  That's why it's showing "5 days".  That's all me mining either via setgenerate true, or via pool.bellacoin.com (which when real hash was added to it started acting up).  I mined about 30k coins roughly before I made the announcement last night.  There's known issues (as of last night) with the Windows wallet which hadn't surfaced before the launch.  I'll keep everyone updated as news comes in.  I promise, I'm on top of this and I'll do my best to make sure people aren't let down.  Are the issues mentioned solely with the Windows QT wallet or are there other Linux-related issues I'm unaware of?  Please feel free to use the help desk, I actually do respond.

     Sincerely,

Syntaks

One more note to make mention of guys is that I announced on another forum last night before this one and if you need to see the proof I can provide it.  My apologies.
