AppleByte, the new Crypto to support the arts launched in New York City on May 1, 2014!Now trading on Poloniex, ticker symbol ABY!You can download MAC or Windows wallet on our website: AppleByte.meOur Launch Plan & PhilosophyDev Team was paid in Bitcoin (funded through our Crowd Funding Campaign), not premine. You can verify that here:
Indiegogo CampaignWe funded the AppleByte Foundation with a 25% Premine - Which will be used as Artist Scholarships & Awards over the next 8-10 years.
(
no Air Drop to dilute the value)
We want to encourage the user community (defined as the artists & art lovers of NYC, as well as the miners) by giving them the opportunity to mine, before the whales jump in.
Therefore we are only releasing the MAC & Windows wallets at launch. The source code will not be released for 3 - 6 months, as the vast majority of the whales run linux.
We will have one official pool server.
The wallet has a built-in tab for solo & pool mining.
