We are pleased to announce the open beta of GaltCoin, a scrypt-based cryptocurrency that will have 42,000,000 coins in existence and encourages extra layering of anonymity such as tor. We still anticipate live release on 1/31, so stay tuned for that, but we've found that testnet and our limited resources just aren't providing enough testing capacity, so we'll let the world test it for us. GaltCoin is available at http://galtco.in and via git and subversion from https://sourceforge.net/projects/galtcoin/ We have a IRC channel on freenode, #galtcoin, for any feedback you may have during this beta, or in fact anytime. During this open beta, mining is allowed, but there should be minimal need for transactions at this early point in the game. As we are still in beta, please keep comments in this thread constructive, you can express your opinions when the time comes. We also are using Sourceforge's BTS, so if you do find any bugs, please submit them there.
Warm regards and happy hunting
The GaltCoin Devteam
