Extremecoin (EXC) Scrypt based cryptocoin

19, Jan 2014

extremecoin-scrypt-crypto-coin

There is only going to be 5 Million EXC coins in total for the block reward, after that as we know, miners just get the transactions fees. This means that roughly around the two month mark from this release post (60 days) the block reward will be 1 + transaction fee’s. I am not worried about people stopping mining this coin after the reward is gone, as I have got myself another rig that will be dedicated to just mining this coin and keep it going. This will mean that they will be only 5 Million coins spread around to trade or use for purchase but always remember the decimal and that it can be broken down, new users tend to like to have whole coins and forget this sometimes. Now for the honest part, to test the main net and check that the difficulty retarget is correct I mined 150 blocks, I wanted to see two difficulty adjustments to be sure. All of this premine will be given out as bounties.

Earthcoin (EAC) Scrypt based cryptocoin

19, Jan 2014

earthcoin-scrypt-crypto-coin

EarthCoin (EAC) is a new generation scrypt coin that is a descendant of Litecoin. Like Litecoin – it uses scrypt as a proof of work scheme. EarthCoin uses a 365 day period. It will start with 10,000 coins per block, and it varies in a sine curve with amplitude of 2,000, with a period of one year (like the Earth moving around the Sun). This means that you start with 10,000 coins, and it adjusts at each block, reaches a maximum of 12,000 coins per block after about 3 months, then it will descend gradually to approx 10,000 coins per block again at about 6 months. Then a new minimum of 8000 coins per block at about 9 months. Then we reverse that – to climb and return to 10,000 coins per block at one year, before finally cutting the payout in half.
