Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

I've registered. Hope it shows up soon. I'll be on the back of the exchanges to see if I can secure at least one for launch day. |

It's not really a national coin. It's a coin for a region based on the largest economy in that region. I know what you mean about 2014 and national coins. I can only say that it isn't the case here. We're not looking to be endorsed by any nation. Kobocoin is open to anybody. We're hoping the masses of people in Africa who currently use mobile payment facilities will see kobocoins as a viable alternative to what they're currently using and adopt it. The tx fees of the current services are as much as 60%. Great service, but expensive, and with gatekeeper hurdles. Crypto technology can make a difference. |

If you can make KOBO<->USD/EUR, I trust you. KOBO<->BTC, I don't. How can people do business with a coin needs 2 steps exchange, why they don't use BTC? |

The image below shows a mobile wallet with USD as the default pairing.  You can choose your preferred default pairing from the list, and also scroll through the list to compare values. If you download a wallet for any crypto listed on the exchanges you'll see that they all have this default ability. |

I was hoping to confirm the launch for next Saturday, but I don't have everything I need yet. I'm sure everything will be completed and ready for the launch in the next 2/3 days. If there's any issues I'll post an update with details of the delay.

Happy mining! Kobocoin will be cloud mining using Suprnova pool. My Bubba will be solo mining (then pool mining) till it's last remaining GPU fails (I thought I had 2 good GPU's but another one is sick). |

This looks like the best coin of the week, as long as you get it out this week.

Very timely post. Unfortunately the launch has to be provisionally moved to Saturday 7th February at 07:00 GMT. Reason: There is a transaction fee set at the protocol level. The coin is being rebuilt (to remove the transaction fee), re-tested, and re-certified before it's launched.  I've been promised that the source code and wallets (Linux, Windows, Mac) will be ready for this Thursday and the new block explorer should follow soon after. In my opinion that's too close to launch. I want to get the new code back to CoinsSource so they can verify that nothing other than transaction fee has been changed. I then want to have the block explorer online before launch day. This rebuild also means that the Android wallet might be delayed. Rushing around on Thursday, Friday and Saturday with last minute details (and getting the coin re-certified etc) all sounds very exciting and stuff, but it's best to reschedule the launch and make sure everything's ready. Apologies for the delay but the issue has to be resolved. |
