Firstly, thanks to everyone who has posted questions, comments (positive and negative!) and shown interest in the project. Rather than make multiple posts, I have tried to cover most of the questions people have asked here.


Website

The website will be up soon, and I will update this thread when done. Rather than promote the project before the code was ready, the focus has been on thoroughly testing the code to make sure no bugs have been introduced as a result of the changes to the original Ethereum code (mainly the new difficulty adjustment algorithm). The source code and binaries have been posted here as the first public step, to give any interested Bitcointalk members a chance to get a head start on mining before promotion of the coin starts in earnest. The next priority is the website.


Discord

There are no immediate plans to start a discord channel for the project, however this may change if (when?) the project generates enough interest to warrant it. For now, this thread is the best place to ask any questions.


Charity

There is some information in the white paper on the charity distribution mechanism, but essentially it will work as follows:

- There are 10 account addresses embedded into the code that will start accumulating coins ~6 months after the launch date. The account private keys will be given to charities over the next 6 months. 
- Accounts will only be given to registered charities who are already established. New charities will not be created as part of the project.
- Ballzcoin itself is not a charity.


Mining

A big thanks to TerraHash.cc, ButSa, and thedives for setting up pools. I will add the links to the announcement post shortly.

For those who are keen, the instructions for solo mining with Claymore are as follows:

1. Start ballzcoin in console mode with RPC port open:
ballzcoin console --rpc

2. Wait for network synchronization. Within about 15 seconds, you should start seeing 'Imported new chain segment blocks = n' appear on the screen (n being a number between 1 and 2048). When n drops to 1, the entire chain has been imported, and you can start mining.

3. Start mining with Claymore:

ethdcrminer64 -allcoins 1 -retrydelay 10 -epool http://127.0.0.1:8641

This all assumes you have an account set up and configured as the etherbase. Please let me know if you want any instructions on how to do that.



ICO

This is not an ICO. The only way to get hold of coins at the moment is through mining.


PoS

Ballzcoin will not transition to PoS. It will always be a PoW coin.


Masternodes

There are no plans to have masternodes.

Apologies for my lack of response to anyone these last few days. I can't post, edit or PM (just get a blank page or http 500 error from the forum after pressing post). Trying on a different PC from a different IP to see if this works, if so then I will start addressing the various questions that have been asked...

Do you have any website to visit, it would be helpful to know more about the project beside from the whitepaper.
And perhaps some information about the ICO of BallZcoin, if any.

Lol
I will mine some for shits and giggles.

But I have a question. Why is the logo 3 balls instead of 2?

Is there something your not telling us Dev?
Maybe it's a riddle if the dev really do have two balls or three. But in the end it may not be correct since he only got one. Nice concept! I guess the dev of tjis project doesn't have balls to shown I reduce my previous assumption statement.

I don't mind using the charity aspect in attracting more users, as long as they will really give back. The usual problem is, once they got some fundings, they totally forgot what they signed up for. So, how far is this project in achieving their goals?

This phrase is clear to me. "Ballzcoin is a crypto currency with equal opportunities, so charitable organizations of women and children will also be supported." And about what balloons do you write?

Release Details

The client binaries, GUI wallets, and source code will all be made public at approximately 8.30PM on 15th September 2018 via links posted here. The first 1000 blocks will have zero miner payout. This will hopefully give people time to download the binaries or compile from source before payouts start.   



 this is correct, there is a reserve of 4 hours.
