[ANN] AIRcoin

Yeah, a little too quiet at the moment. I fear that so many miners now are just stuck looking for pump and dump coins, so they may glance over something like this. That, or maybe it's just over their heads.. like some of it is to me

air.pitythepool.com has been updated to the new wallet

[ISAWHIM]

Shhh, that is our secret to getting all the first coins... tell the whole world and diff rises to 10.5 and our reward goes from 80 a day to 0.01 a day...

Once this hits coinwarz or coinchoose... (after being valued on an exchange), it will turn into every-other-coin quickly, before it settles-in to a nice foundation.

Wallet updated... waiting for the cross-over block now. (Still says v0.8.6.2-gda10b75-beta, in the "About AIRcoin" menu.)

Hope that doesn't make the network reject the blocks/client... internally it shows the same too. While running in the info.

But the zip-file has the correct version, so I think I am good... unless he packed the wrong one. I'll find out in about 300 more blocks! lol

Assuming github was updated air.ctrlaltdefeated.us is also on the latest wallet. Fee's will be set back at 1% unless you have been donating (no longer applies) in which case you have 0% for the foresable future.

Is difficulty and block reward inversely related? This seems super cool, just don't have the time at the moment to read all the specs. An answer would be much appreciated.

Block reward is constant, it's just that difficulty increasing makes it harder for an individual to get a block.  If you get one though, you will always get the same amount of coins (3.72 AIR, unless you happen to get a bonus  + 0.001 AIR from redistributed security fees).  As difficulty climbs, you'll need to join a pool (even if you have monstrous hashpower, which just allows you to mine AIR longer solo), which pretty much just gives you the reward you would get on your own based on the pool's settings, except it's not an all-or-nothing deal.  With a pool, you can get part of a block as a reward, which in a sense, is kind of like altering the block reward.

More succinctly, block reward is flat, currently. Block reward and exchange rate, in future versions, will be inversely related once it has been proven on an exchange.

Maybe we are staring at the doors of the next aurora (as it is)

[AltcoinAuthority]

Thanks for the reply, so cool.

Aircoin is the epitome of what is needed in the altcoin industry. I'd love to help out with promotion, my community would go nuts for this coin.

I'm seriously impressed. TWO developers just responded to a question in under ten minutes.. I've never seen that before. You guys definitely know your stuff and you definitely mean business.

I completely agree with AltcoinAuthority and I'm trying to promote as well.

Thanks for lending a hand! It's up to us in the community to do make sure our coin reaches its full potential.

Is there a problem with the github repository?

[AltcoinAuthority]

I am super impressed by you guys. Seriously, kudos to your professionalism.

[AIRCOINDEV O]

Is there a problem with the github repository?

Are you unable to clone to desktop?  Is the file too large?  Do one of the Git commands not function properly?  PM me (or of course feel free to post here) if so.

Okay so I've built from source twice now and still on version 80602

"version" : 80602,
    "protocolversion" : 70002,
    "walletversion" : 60000,
    "balance" : 0,
    "blocks" : 8873,
    "timeoffset" : -1,
    "connections" : 5,
    "proxy" : "",
    "difficulty" : 1.98886225,
    "testnet" : false,
    "keypoololdest" : 1393380279,
    "keypoolsize" : 101,
    "paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
    "mininput" : 0.00001000,
    "errors" : ""


Also I believe leveldb/build_detect_platform has the wrong permissions.

I am super impressed by you guys. Seriously, kudos to your professionalism.

When I first met these guys I was impressed with their professionalism as well. It's one thing to be talented, but it's another thing entirely to be both talented and professional. Our mix of skills and attitudes makes us quite a force.

I am proud to be on Team AIRcoin. But even more than that, I am grateful for having the opportunity to work with these guys. We have put a lot of thought and planning into this coin to ensure that it will be a smashing success. We won't be able to do it alone--we need a community of like-minded people that want to see cryptocurrency technology take the next step into sustainability and acceptance--but I know that we can do it. And given the recent explosion of altcoins that exist only to be dumped and the failure of Mt. Gox, I hope that I am right. If cryptocurrencies lose legitimacy now, it might set us back years. We are here to stop that from happening.

the same to me.....

This is head and shoulders above 99% of other altcoins.

Exactly what's needed in the flood of silly currencies - seroius one.

I know it'll catch soon and people will jump in, but I quietly hope to mine at this low diff as long as possible
