Thanks a lot! We've just sent you a bounty. We're happy to pay bounties to anyone willing to translate our post and updates to other languages not already covered.

Filipino thread updated:   https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1609141.new#new

don't just rely on google translation, sometimes google translated them to become funny and laughable because google translated them by word and not by content.

Thanks for commenting and for the feedback! Yes, we're using the original BTC wallet look because that's the cryptocurrency most first-time users will be interested in, but we are offering a small bounty for updating the GUI.

We may increase this bounty and a few others in the near future. :-)

Thanks for the support! We don't expect to get listed on the big exchanges immediately, but we hope the long-term fair distribution of BGNR through our faucet will help expand community support. We may contact exchanges after the network has been live for a few months, and some may list BGNR independently as NovaExchange did, but we are in no hurry to expand to more exchanges. 

Our main goal right now is outreach and education. We also have many more developments in progress - please stay tuned!

Thanks a lot for confirming that it's working for you! We really appreciate the support.

The huge surge in mining power (which we are grateful for) does mean that solo-mining is not viable, but we hope to maintain fair payouts to everyone via the faucet over time. 

that wallet tho.

I guess it's a little bit outdated...

I'm still hoping this coin can join on big exchanger like polo and bittrex

After deleting my chain 8 days ago to try syncing from scratch and also trying fresh install on another computer I can confirm these addnodes work!!

I copy/pasted them into beginnercoin.conf file manually created in same location as wallet.dat. Exit and restart beginnercoin-qt.

I am not getting anywhere mining with the wallet anymore but at least the faucet works :-)

Just got a PM from sayyedraza - he's all synced up! The BGNR network should definitely be 100% live for everyone now.

If anyone else is having issues connecting, please don't hesitate to let us know. We're here to help.

For everyone who is already in, make sure you claim your free BGNR at our new ad-free faucet just released with the last BeginnerCoin update:

Hi, thanks for the feedback - there is only a modest amount in the faucet right now, as we want to make sure it goes through more testing before we put a lot more BGNR into it. We're in this for the long-term and we intend to keep the faucet ad-free and funded indefinitely so that all first-time cryptocurrency users can see how the process works. We have a lot of other ideas for distribution but we're trying to take it one step at a time to avoid any major problems.

Our intended audience is for people who've heard of Bitcoin but are not familiar with actually using the technology.  However, we welcome users of all experience levels since everyone can contribute to helping others learn.  We want people to use and familiarize themselves with using the wallets to see how they can use cryptocurrencies for themselves, either through their own altcoin or incorporating Bitcoin or other established currencies into their business.  Most the people whom we've talked to cryptocurrencies about have this idea that Bitcoin is the entire story and that it's a "hacker only" currency since that's what the majority of the media tends to focus on.  

We hope to break that mindset by giving people direct access to a zero risk coin and letting them form their own opinions based on first hand experience. Our coin isn't a technological advancement to the existing blockchain technology or sighted at replacing Bitcoin or any other existing altcoin.  We firmly believe there is plenty of room for many types of coins for differing purposes.

We've been using Bitcoin for years and currently accept it for our other projects and businesses.  We've operated low power mining setups and have built and experimented with several other altcoins.

This is the first coin that we are authoring and distributing, we've internally tested in-house coins prior to launch, but this is our first public release.  We have much more planned beyond what you see so far to help newcomers get used to using the technology.

I hope that answers your question, please feel free to ask anything else!

It's only for beginners since anyone whose been around for more than a week would immediately balk at a pre-mine that huge

Even the explanation is laughable, 92 mil for a faucet that hands out "double digits" lol

is this only for beginners? and dev are you a beginner in crypto or you've been around for a while?

We've updated our translated pages as well with rough Google Translate versions on the update.  For those who have translated prior please feel free to touch up the updates and post in the threads below. Please link to your post in this thread with your BGNR receive address to claim the additional translation bounties!

Greek

Fillipino

Indonesian

There is no Google Translate for Mandarin so for anyone willing to translate, that bounty will be slightly higher.

Thanks to everyone who has been testing our faucet! It looks like it's working as intended, so we've just added more BGNR.

Everyone using the faucet should be seeing double-digit BGNR payouts for a while. :-)

Our goal is outreach and education. We're distributing our BGNR to everyone perpetually via our new faucet. We want to show complete beginners how to get their first coins, from start to finish. We have a very small amount in the faucet right now (we're testing, we want to make sure it works as expected) but we plan on scaling it up in the future if all goes well.

If anyone has any questions, please feel free to let us know, thanks!

The reason why the coin is very cheap.

Hello everyone, we are very excited today to announce a few updates.

First and foremost, we have re-enabled wallet downloads for all OS's. After monitoring the situation for several days now the network appears to have stabilized and we feel confident that should the difficulty spike again we have the tools at our disposal now to power through.  We are also drafting plans to further stabilize our network which we will be bringing to you in a future update.


We now have a faucet set up and it is ready to distribute BGNR to all who enter their receiving address!  Users who have previously claimed bounties from our forum are encouraged to post in the faucet to collect.  This will be replacing our BeginnerCoin.com receive address forum post bounty, we want to thank everyone who participated in that thread for getting started with us!


Check out our Bounty Board for more exciting updates! We have updated our BTC Talk Signature Bounty and users who have already claimed this once can claim it again!  We also want to bring special attention to our Blockchain Explorer Bounty for an enterprising user who wants to cash in our largest bounty to date!


We have more exciting updates in the works and more content coming to BeginnerCoin.com to help our fellow BGNRs gain more knowledge about cryptocurrencies and how to intuitively operate them.  Be on the lookout for more mining related content as we continue to develop.

To all our users and miners we want to thank you again and again for your support.  We were frankly crestfallen after the initial network lockups and we cannot tell you how much it means to us to see dedicated users sticking with us through these initial hiccups. A big shoutout to www.mineblocks.eu for hosting our coin so quickly.  The hashing power provided by that network was instrumental in bringing us back from the brink. 

We also want to extend a warm welcome to all new users!  Thanks for joining and learning with us!  We are excited to prove to you that cryptocurrencies are a force for all and we want YOU to learn how to empower yourself and your business with this revolutionary technology.

Stay tuned!
