What is Hiro? Is it a name ?
What sort of demographic is this coin gearing itself towards, or all ?
I like it !
Hiro is a very popular name don't you know ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) We are aiming for all the GPU miners, every single one of them. Right now they can escape multipools with us and when the Scrypt ASICs hit they can escape them. Talking about ASICs, KNc took $2m in pre-orders. There is no doubt now that Scrypt will be dominated by ASICs which is something I have assumed for a while now and the reason I am here launching Hirocoin. Litecoin's difficulty has doubled in a month and I have to wonder if this is due to some Scrypt ASICs sitting in a lab somewhere. These is more information on this in the article below.

This is the second X11 coin right?? Thats great i love this algorithm , its so silent, cool and lower en ergy consumtion ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) My Question now: How do you compare to Darkcoin ? Was there a premine/earlydump or something like this? Devs motivated for a future ? Maybe im getting on the Boat Greetings

Was there a premine/earlydump or something like this? Devs motivated for a future ? Maybe im getting on the Boat Greetings No premine which can be seen by the launch time and first mined block in the explorer. We had a low difficulty at the start to jump start the markets. With plenty of coins at the start it makes the coin cheaper to begin with so miners and investors can get in easily. Considering that our announcement had the day but not a specific time, and that we do not use Scrypt we avoided the megaminers, who would have come along to get a vast portion of the early mining. We managed to get coins out to a lot of individuals which was the goal, we want as many people involved as possible as early miners and investors are often the ones to stick around and do the hard work. By the way, technically we are not a fork of Darkcoin but of Litecoin to which I then replaced Scrypt with X11 form Darkcoin. DarkCoin uses an inverse difficulty reward, so the more people mining the smaller the reward, I choose X11 to be the home of GPU miners and did not include that feature as it may put some of them off. We have a static reward of 400 coins for the next 2,100,000 blocks (~4 years). We also use automatic checkpointing which protects our blocks from being replaced by attackers trying to do transaction reversal attacks. These are getting more common and exchanges have mechanisms to protect against this. That is often the reason why coins disappear from Cryptsy if it is not to update the daemon. People often think this is Cryptsy messing with markets but check that coins explorer for an orphan chain and the replacement blocks having very close time stamps. Sometimes seconds apart. We are not vulnerable to that sort of attack. DarkCoin will have the DarkSend function that allows coins to be sent anonymously, we have no such feature. The feature is neat but it will give it the image of being the coins for illegal activity, it is already getting this reputation which is one that Bitcoin had early on. We want Hirocoin to be the squeaky clean by comparison. Right now I think any X11 based coin is a safe bet as look what GPU miners moving from SHA-256 to Scrypt did for coins like Litecoin. By the way, I am motivated for a future, this is a long term project. I hope this answers your questions.

A couple of thing, I have setup an account to be the Reddit tipbot. For this to happen it needs some karma to get around the text verification image to automate it properly. I have also set a bounty of 0.2BTC for the bext X11 logo. Please bump that thread once in a while to make sure it gets noticed. Logo design - 0.2BTC bounty - Start now

Awww... I like Godzilla, he's just playing with planes and wants to have fun. Perhaps a more serious one is required, if you have some design skills let me know and we can work on a replacement logo. We should run a proper promotion but feel free to submit designs to me.

I thought I'd give it a shot and mine solo for 24hr. I only have 5.75 Mh/s which is a minuscule 0.3% of the current network hashing rate. I will let you know in 24 hours if i found any blocks For comparison working with a pool i would earn 1200-1500 HIC per 24hrs
I'm curious, please let us know your findings. Thanks found 3 blocks so far in about 16 hours correction: just got the 4th block started 03-19 at 22:24 the 4th block was found 03-20 at 16:41 UPDATEin the first 24hr. period i solved 6 Blocks continuing to mine solo, will post updates thanks keep those updates coming!

Personally I love it. It's more fun than a sleek shiny "retro" or "modern" coin design. Why do people love doge so much? Because it has a funny dog on it at least that's one of the reasons. Yes, lets change the logo on Doge to a more professional looking perfectly realistic and accurate 3 dimensional rendering of a boring normal dog because that's more professional. Why don't we add some lens flares and add a bump map and some specular shine to it and make it rotate too? I really think the icon right now is one of the reasons people are drawn to this coin. There's a lot of people I'm sure who say "South Park" could look a lot more professional too but that doesn't stop it from making millions of dollars. Just ask yourself, how much money has this ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fen%2Fthumb%2Fa%2Fa7%2FSinclair_Oil_logo.svg%2F200px-Sinclair_Oil_logo.svg.png&t=665&c=UNRknx-bhp0YPw) (sinclair) made from you? lol.

There have been some messages of support for the current logo, seems like people are divided on this one.
The tip bot has enough votes, I can now progress on putting it all together.

I really like the Hirocoin design, Godzilla playing with his toy airplane that probably has terrified people in it.
Seeing what other people can come up with is good for promotion, however. Maybe we'll be suprised and find something totally awesome.
