[PRE-ANN][BDC]The birth of BLACK DRAGON COIN: unique scrypt-jane fantasy coin

Dear guest,
Welcome to the Black Dragon Coin thread. Stay awhile and listen!

My name is Nickolas and I'm a fantasy fan. I think fantasy inspires people and brings them new ideas. I witnessed the golden age of computer games (M&M, BG, HoMM, Fallout etc), read many fantasy novels (Ursula K. Le Guin is my favourite), played MTG a lot of time. I'm sure that there are a lot people here with the same world view, people who share similar values as mine. This coin is for you. I will launch a coin that will bring innovations and real benefits for users and will form a strong community.

Why Black Dragon? Dragons are the most powerful and intelligent fantasy creatures. And they love coins, especially gold ones. And I just love dragons. To my mind, the black dragons are the most powerful, wise and dangerous among all dragons. Black Dragon Coin symbolizes the most fascinating aspects of fantasy universe.

Main goal: build a secure cryptocurrency with a blockchain secured by a big number of decentralized GPU farms, become leading Scrypt-Jane coin (Scrypt-Jane is ASIC and CPU botnet resistant), form a strong community and provide excellent development support!

1. Good specs combo:

Unique innovate reward system: unpredictable dice roll bonuses with critical hits (see the table for explanation)
Scrypt-Jane with Adaptive N-factor (SHA-3 (keccak512) + ChaCha): cool & secure algo, scrypt ASIC and CPU resistant, flexible N-factor
Antidump protection: mined coins get confirmed only after 1000 block confirmations, miners will get the mined coins after ~33,3 hours
Wise block time: with 2 minutes block time the transactions are fast (12 minutes for 6 confirmations), but shorter block time will increase the amount of orphaned blocks and will make the coin easier to attack
Advanced difficulty retarget: Dark Gravity Wave implemented, lowered block times for 1-1000 blocks to allow solomining and minimum block rewards for blocks 1-200 to avoid instamining
Smart reward halving: every ~70 days, early miners won't get huge advantage, inflation is limited

Block Distribution: Proof of Work
Algorithm: Scrypt-Jane with Adaptive N-factor
Block time: 120 Seconds/2 minutes
Difficulty Retarget: own implementation of Dark Gravity Wave
Confirmations: 6 Confirmations per transaction, 1000 confirmations for mined blocks
Block rewards:
Block 1- 200: 1 + 1d4
Block 200-50,000: 100 + 1d20 (20 roll is critical hit: block reward doubles and miner gets another 100 bonus coins)
Block 50,000-100,000: 50 + 1d16 (+ 1/20 chance to get double rewards)
Block 100,000-150,000: 30 + 1d8 (+ 1/20 chance to get double rewards[/b])
Block 150,000-200,000: 20 + 1d6 (+ 1/20 chance to get double rewards)
Block 200,000+: 10 + 1d4 (+ 1/20 chance to get double rewards)
Premine: 1.5 % of 1 year mining period for coin development and support

Explanation of a reward system: See picture

Approximate number of coins for the first year and for the next years of mining:
First year ~ 14,571,761 bdc
next years ~ 3,258,720 bdc a year
Approximately 720 blocks a day. (1440 mins a day, 7200 blocks = 10 days, 50k blocks (block halving interval) = ~70 days)[/font]

2. Fantasy coin philosophy:

Rpg elements for rewards & overall fantasy orientation
A beautiful fantasy art (desktop wallpaper) every week and more surprises by 2 pro artists from our team
Fantasy art (dragon themed) and short story contests every month
Community brainstorming

3. Development plan:

Short term (1-2 weeks)

block explorer
beautiful site with background art
alternative coin logo with asian dragon
custom fantasy wallet design
trading on poloniex, start mintpal voting

Middle term (3-6 weeks)

adding more functionality to the wallet: BDC exchange price etc
online game cd-key shop that will accept BDC & more merchant adoption
major exchange: Mintpal
scrypt/SHA-256 multipool for BDC support
manufacture T-shirts with best BDC arts

Long term (8-36 weeks)

custom BDC wallet (multibit-like)
online crowd funding service that will accept BDC to support different fantasy projects (such as computer games/table games/ccg)
computer game & other fantasy projects that will use BDC
manufacture more items with BDC arts

Ninja launch based on when all aspects of BDC are ready:

I will post wallet download links with password protected archives and virustotal link (to prove that the wallet is clean), conf settings and after 10 minutes I will post the passwords on forum/Twitter/Facebook
I will post miner links (ATI and NVIDIA) + some basic settings
I will make a detailed step-by-step video windows solomining guide
I will launch the coin when more users are online (Europe evening time)
Blocks 1-200 will have minimum rewards: 1+1d4 to avoid instamining
1-1000 blocks will have reduced block time to allow solomining (launch party)
Official pool with random rewards support is ready, it will be opened when it will become difficult to solomine
I will post big bounty list & pool/exchanges politics/requirement and will start a smart giveaway

Here's the preview of our first wallpaper art (also used as a splashscreen for wallet), it will be available in following resolutions:
