[ANN][VMP] VAMPIRECOIN !!!NOW LIVE!!!

[vampirecoin]

I'm launching VAMPIRECOIN [VMP] soon.

You can find out more at http://www.vampirecoin.org

My daughter inspired me to create these for fun. The code is done and I'm trying to decide on a release date. Any suggestions on a fair release date would be welcomed.

I'll post more details later today but there's NO PREMINE; with the exception of a couple hundred blocks to test it out.

Vampirecoin is one of three coins I made. The other two are [ZMB] ZOMBIECOIN and [LYC] LYCANCOIN. They can be found at http://www.zombie-coin.org and http://www.lycancoin.org, respectively.

***Additional Information***

RELEASE DATE: NOW LIVE


First off, YES!, Vampirecoin is another altcoin based on Litecoin sourcecode. However, I didn’t create Vampirecoin as a ‘pump and dump’, get rich scheme and I hope the lack of premine (other than a couple hundred blocks for testing) proves that.

Vampirecoin is part of a three coin set which includes Zombiecoin and Lycancoin. All coins are identical in coding and only vary in the number of coins per block. I created these coins primarily because my five year old daughter loves all things monster (especially zombies, werewolves and vampires) and we thought it would be fun.

Vampirecoin, Zombiecoin & Lycancoin were created with initial block coin generation ratios of 1:17:495, respectively. The initial per-block generation rates are 6 Vampirecoins, 102 Zombiecoins and 2970 Lycancoins. I’m curious to find out if the long term mining dedication for these coins varies from these initial ratios.

Even though these coins were created for fun, I’ve done my best to be as serious about their success as I can. Each coin has a dedicated website and I’ve setup dedicated nodes to support each of them. If the coins pick up in popularity, I will continue to add nodes as needed.

- 2 hour block difficulty retargeting
- 2.5 minute block target

- 6 coins per block
- 10,000,000 total coins
- Difficulty halving at 800k blocks (@ 3.8 years)

Release Files:
- All Clients - http://www.vampirecoin.org

I thank both the Litecoin developers and Bitcoin developers in advance for their work since there’s no way I’d ever be able to code this from scratch.

BOUNTY

Help me get rid of some of those pre-mined development blocks. I'm giving two blocks worth (12 coins) to the first 25 people who post their Vampirecoin wallet addresses. That will eat up 50 blocks right there. Only one award per user profile per wallet.

Awards: 9 of 25

Difficulty halving or reward halving?? If it is difficulty coin will be instamined

The code targets 576 blocks per day or 3,456 coins per day. The reward will halve every 800k blocks and difficulty adjusts every 2 hours.

This means roughly 48% of the coins will be mined at the end of 2017; 95% by the end of 2036.
