The difficulty was going to be reasonable but sampling random pages from the huge thread it seems people are mucking around with some old code that the difficulty fix was not pushed to yet?

Okay I checked the code, this is not the correct version yet at all, someone has gone running using the old original whatevercoin code they copied from, one of the >> 20 ones based on litecoin, the usual scam orphans difficulty, it is not even adjusted to bitcoin's >> 32 yet let alone an actually reasonable difficulty.
GIve the guy time to make his real code, this hijacking his github just steals the name of his coin before he has even finished coding it.
It might take him days to mine his genesis block if he doesn't make an exception for the genesis block in the difficulty checks but it will be worth it as we'll get a decent launch instead of yet another scamcoin.

earlier we have a fight between MilkShake and Hazard.. cause everything was ready but Hazard premined 1300 blocks and he has to do everything again "sayed milkshake", and hazard sayed that milkshake was the one who premined...
But everithing points on hazard... search for hazard coins.. that scamer just gets the code and launched a new coin, and leaked the code, screwing this release...
now this is the real launch, cause the same milshake posted the github address on the 1st post, the big problem was, no executables on windows... someone just posted the "elacoind" but no qt, so many people feels bad, for me, i joined the pool.
i really like the idea of this coin, i think is a good perspective, and a good incentive, the problem as always, the difficulty was too low, so many orphans...
cheers
Yes this is the wrong code, the real one the difficulty will start at "ten" or more on the getinfo, not sure how many >> shift that is but presuambly at least three more shifts than bitcoin's >> 32 which also would be way too easy these days. So maybe >> 35 ? Or >> 36 or more?
The code on github has the same scammy >> 20 all the scams lately have been using.

yeah for that we need milksaheke to talk about it...
even if this burst, and he works again on his coin.. i will support him, i really like this idea, a natural protection against DDOS, is a really good idea. (well for me xD), and a good balance for the coins value, is great too
I think is simple, but still, the simpliest things works better.
