Fantastic coin design, it really looks like a diamond! You've spent a long time on the release! At least 20 minutes. I can really see this one taking off.

I hope I don't do a failed one like your ice which is melt

Boring.

  Read some of op's recent posts, he complains about pre-mine, yet he does it himself.... lol, Next....

yet another one, lol. At block 217 now...

400k premine with 10k bounties ... same as always ...

Pass, we have other coins to focus on now.... we had a decent run without any new alts..... dont get involved, we need to focus on what we already have.

Version 1.3 is released for Emerald! New checkpoints are added for better security and fixed some earlier issues! Please upgrade as soon as possible!


The new alt coin - emerald has been launched

Emerald is an innovative new alt coin. It is a Litecoin clone, so it uses scrypt for mining. Emerald uses a relative fast 20 second block time for continuously releasing the coins to miners.

The block reward is 5 emeralds per block, will be halved every 2 block years. Total emeralds released will be 31,499,000. Difficulty will be re-targeted every block hour, or every 180 blocks, it ensures a relative fast difficulty adjustment to the network hash power. Emerald has a 3 confirmations for transaction (so a fast average 1 minute transaction confirmation), and 50-confirmation maturity for newly mined coins.

To start the emerald in a fair launch, the blocks below 400 do not give any emeralds. Then by each 300 blocks, the payout will be 1, 2, 3 and 4 emeralds (that is, blocks 401-700 pay 1 emerald each, blocks 701-1000 pay 2 emeralds each, blocks 1001-1300 pay 3 emeralds each, and blocks 1301-1600 pay 4 emeralds each). Starting from block 1601, full 5 emeralds are given by each block. The 1st block is a special block of 400K created by us for bounty, giveaways, services, coin mixing service, etc.

Connection port is 12127, and RPC-port 12128.
