Hi, I'm Troels and I live in Denmark, so in advance, I apologize for any misunderstandings caused my mother-tongue, and the fact that there's a reason I think the name and abbreviation of this coin is high-larious.

I created this coin some time ago because I thought it would be funny and I couldn't find it at the time.
Now with PotCoin and DOPEcoin it seems like a waste of time, but what was intended with this coin right from the start was to donate most of what the project generates to medical cannabis research.

With the recent legalizations of cannabis in various countries it seems appropriate to fund this movement in one way or another.

Coin Specs

• Scrypt
• 100 coins per block
• ~35M coins
• 3 minute block targets
• subsidy halves in 350k blocks (~2 years)
• 720 blocks to retarget difficulty

Pools
I've managed to get a p2pool up and running.
p2pool: http://95.85.18.241:8088/
So to mine on in the pool a cgminer .bat might look like this

Code:

cgminer --scrypt -o http://95.85.18.241:8088/ -u <insert THCoin address> -p <any password will do>

Wallet
The source is on GitHub, but I've managed to compile this Win x64 binary. I'll go nuts in a couple of days and compile a GNU/Linux binary.

Code:

addnode=95.85.18.241
addnode=80.167.200.58

Windows: https://mega.co.nz/#!zUVWjTTK!fxZGXD5pUuL40YpyhGem64LyL7o3_CnXEGXGVdgkGac

Lol,
I'm setting up a pool for your coin but the wallet name is built to litecoind not thcoind. So I stopped setting up the pool.
 You should fix and check your source first before releasing.

[DeltaQuebec]

I give up on THCoin already..good luck with your project.

Where are you dev? Update wallet so we get pool.
