EasterCoin is open to anyone who would like to contribute. I would like to hear people's suggestions on what they would like to see in EasterCoin, what type of CPU algorithm I should use etc etc. Unless I hear offers from people, I will start writing the coin on Tuesday or Wednesday, I will then create the Genesis block 1 hour before release, upload as a zip with password protection then release the password here at the start of Good Friday.

Generally the idea of EasterCoin is to let it run for a few days, when Easter is over, people swap their coins for ULT. I don't know how big this will be, people may want to keep their EasterCoins.

I wanted to give the altcoin community something exciting & fun to do this Easter, they can help create, add services, trade & mine something related to Easter over the long weekend. It is currently planned to be a temporary coin so you can be really creative. (who knows it could be become a permanent coin if it is really popular like doge) Enjoy!!!

You can solomine or use a pool

Starting up EasterCoin, it will try to mine automatically but better if you use a real miner. To use a miner and add the nodes, copy eastercoin.conf into the C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Eastercoin

When you copy the conf file, either set gen to 0 or 1 (0 so the wallet does not mine)
make sure you copy eastercoin.conf into the c:/users/%username%/appdata/roaming/eastercoin directory, you can then edit it from there too to change options.

Example setup for using minerd (https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9cvOfoOekSdVzZZcThLZHg4bjA/) for download (minerd download)

soloming
C:\quark-v2_w64>minerd64_sse4.exe -a quark -o http://127.0.0.1:31521 -u user -p userpass -t 2

poolming
C:\quark-v2_w64>minerd64_sse4.exe -a quark -o stratum+tcp://easterpool.zapto.org:3333 -u user.1 -p password -t 1 (you must setup workers on the pool first)

-t is how many CPU's you want to use and (user & passpass is already in the config file, that is the password)

Read a Quark mining guide while you are waiting.

nice coin, i like cpu coin.

[gpuminer]

what is ULT ?

Use GPU mineable algo,it will be more popular. x11 or Groestl or HEFTY1..

[451307758]

I don't see what innovation. Good luck

[CoinExpert]

gpuminer, ULT is the currency symbol for UltimateCoin, more information here www.ultcoin.org

[meccoin4me]

Great idea , i only have an 7850 graphiccard , so mining with my cpu's (i have more) is a great way to earn some extra Ultimatecoin

[PiggyM]

a CPU coin would really level the playing field.  everyone could mine it.  This would really give small fish in crypto a chance.  being able to mine this coin with my CPU wile mining something else with my GPU will get a lot of early adopters.

Oh please.

CPU coins are even more susceptible to botnet's and server farms than anything else. See heavycoin and myriad during early phases.

yeeeyy a coin to buy chocolate eggs & bunnys!

Hey, you should read things carefully before posting! And keep your cool

It's just a 3 day coin, meant to give the cryptocommunity some fun  Who's going to care about bots and server farming?? LOL - when you're done proping, the mining is over

[CoinExpert]

I would like someone to donate a large VPS for 3 days, after 3 days the resources can be reduced dramatically or even shut down by forcing any remaining payouts.

I do not want to have to purchase a VPS which are usually charged monthly for just 3 days of use.

This is something for someone who wants to be a major contributor to the celebration of Easter. Also I would like someone to setup an online wallet too.

Also I would like people to contribute EasterCoin artwork as well. Also setup a site for it. I currently have EasterCoin pointing to one page for UltimateCoin.

These people let yourselves be known.

(This post will be constantly updated)

There is some bounty avaliable? Can i make a faucet or web games.

[CoinExpert]

I would prefer people contribute out of selfless desire. Easter is similar to Christmas as it is a giving time.

Valid question Wolf Rainer but there is no premine or ipo, so not EasterCoins for me to give. I am pretty sure if you create a good service people will donate or pay, if you setup a pool, you can charge people to use it, I have not problem with that. BTW it is not necessary to quote my whole ANN post.

[johnsans]

really cpu only?

lol~~~~~~~~~~``

[Mikellev]

How can you be sure that all blocks are mined until sunday ?

[Stinky_Pete]

- Mining starts beginning of Good Friday, Ending Easter Sunday

In our global, multi-time zone, community this is insufficiently defined. Please post start and finish times in UTC

[CoinExpert]

Mikellev, This is the code I will use, I may release a bit earlier and have the first few hundred blocks at 0

if(nHeight <= 4320) {
                nSubsidy = 5000 * COIN; // 3 days worth of blocks @ 5000 ETR each
        } else if(nHeight > 4321) {
                nSubsidy = 0 * COIN;
        }

With KGW it keeps things pretty constant with block timing. Mining may end a few hours early or late however.

Stinky_Pete, Check the altcoin calendar, it has a countdown. When I selected it was a US midnight time.

Yes it is just for fun. Mainly just for people to use their CPU to mine, on their rigs they can enable a few cores to mine and have some fun. I will go for Quark algorithm as it is well known, I know there are GPU miners out for it but I doubt they will switch their GPU miners to mine EasterCoin as the advantage of GPU to CPU mining is much less than other algorithms. But yes, no exchange other than the 1:1 convertibility of ETR to ULT. From there you will be able use ULT on an exchange to trade however.
