Proposal from Team BLUE: Currently the Blue Team is looking into a possible scenario where BlueCoin will take form as a PoS / X11 hybrid coin instead of just PoS only. As we have seen in the past PoS-only coins can be prone to 51% attacks while an attacker holds only 20% of the total coins in circulation. This can happen when a majority of coins have been “locked” or are sitting inactive in cold storage. Until cold minting is perfected and realized, this problem will continue to plague PoS-only coins and require centralized efforts to mitigate these types of attacks. When applying a PoW algorithm to the equation this “exploit” becomes very difficult if not impossible to execute. The BlueCoin team believes in innovative PoS solutions, and more importantly believes in the economic model behind BLU offering a 3% annual interest rate to all the users of its network. With that said we feel that in order to maintain a secure and decentralized network it would be best to keep the ASIC resistant, CPU+GPU friendly X11 algorithm, running past block 10,000 and beyond. In doing this BlueCoin would essentially drop the PoS interest to 1.5% per annum, and set the PoW distribution rate to a steady 1.5% per annum, leaving the original 3% return per annum unscathed. To conclude the top reasons for Blue going in this direction are to 1. Secure the network from these types of attacks now and in the long-term future. 2. Maintain a truly decentralized eco-system. 3. Involve more users into the equation by allowing them to mine with their laptops / personal computers with no indefinitely. We by no means want to change the rules unilaterally and would love to hear from you the Blue community! Let us know what you think about this proposal. As always we’re here to serve you! http://www.peercointalk.org/index.php?topic=2783.0http://wiki.darkcoin.eu/wiki/X11 With PoW at 1.5% per annum what would the block reward be?

Proposal from Team BLUE:
With PoW at 1.5% per annum what would the block reward be? After doing some quick math, the block reward would be reduced to roughly 45 BLU per mined block.

Team BLUE is thinking about creating an x11 miner directly into the client with the option to cycle between CPU and GPU mode (depending on the users computer). This would allow for users to mine efficiently simply by downloading the BLU wallet.
What would our fellow Bluecoiners think of such a move ?

At 1.5% per annum there is even less incentive to hold coins for a longer time period. Just saying.

Central U.S. Server at bluecoin.stonedpuppy.com - MPOS with NOMP Stratum, 2 VarDiff ports, PPLNS & 1% pool fee. Also, 24hr long pool bonuses of up to 25% each week (unannounced) for a little fun. 28 June, 11AM Central time in Arkansas: I'd like to thank BlueCoin for the 100,000 coin bounty. I've placed the entire balance in the pool wallet for pool bonuses. This will be the only 'announced' bonus...25% for the 24hrs!

Coin control still does not work with the windows version. What issue are you experiencing with it? Please describe error in full. I go to settings, options, display and check the box next to "Display coin control features (experts only)", apply and ok. Then I go to "Send coins". A new "Coin Control Features" interface should appear above "Pay to" that looks something like this: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fg1AY4lz.jpg&t=665&c=cpvWwNuRSf3jIQ) But nothing changes, there are no coin control features there at all. Even after restarting the wallet and/or checking and unchecking the box again. I also tried deleting everything except the wallet.dat and starting over again.
