I've jumped onboard this coin. I like the idea of a coin aimed towards kids.

Question for the dev though:

1. What happens when the 2 billion coins are mined out? If there isn't reward halving, do blocks suddenly just stop giving coins?

2. I'd suggest a fork with some strong reward halving SOON and then at the last halving, let each block still have some number of coins so there is some incentive to mine much like dogecoin.

Hey, as I stated before the coin is like this in the sake of simplicity. So its easier to understand and comprehend by outsiders. What if we add rewards after the last block, so miners keep the network alive and we can still keep it simple?

pig.charityminingpools.com

Be a pioneer and help us get started, come mine while making a difference.

Mandatory 0.5% donation fee goes to the BitGive Foundation this month. We welcome and encourage you to donate more to a good cause.

STRATUM, VARDIFF, Datacenter Redundant Server Farm, Load Balanced Servers, Frequent Backups
0.5% Mandatory Donation fee to a Good Cause, 0.5% Pool Fees, 0% AP TX Fees

Who Are We?
CharityMiningPools was created to allow miners the ability to mine coins while still knowing that their hashing power is going towards something good. Our goal is to provide a positive and reliable service while delivering a small portion of the proceeds to a deserving recipient. Plans are in the works to allow individual miners to choose where they would like to donate to based on a pool of available recipients.

How Does This Work?
All coins minded at CharityMiningPools will require a mandatory 0.5% Donation fee. This donation fee will be collected and donated to the designated charitable recipient for that given month. Though we only require a minimum 0.5% Donation fee, we welcome and encourage our miners to raise the stakes and donate more to a good cause.

Cheers!

We will get there. This coin is expanding fast. Everyone involved it being just amazing. This has to be one of the best, kindest, and funnest communities. If anyone in the community has an idea to help make us better it is always welcome. If you have the means to make the idea come to life or would like to help with development feel free to join us in the IRC chat.

Hey! We are doing what we can to add services. A new website is being built (with an area for parents/educators) and the educative faucet is being built as well (that will be our first game), android wallet is in project.

On a separate topic: This decision was made to keep the coin "simple", simple to explain and simple to comprehend but if the community wants to revisiting the decision I don't have any problem with that.

I apologise if my post came across a little harsh

There are lots of good aspects of this coin, but if it hurries its way up the exchange ladder before a relevant service surround is built then it may be destined for the 1 satoshi scrapheap, which would be a shame. The focus should be kept on building value into the coin through its main differentiator (target audience = kids): services where kids can earn, exchange with friends, and spend pigs. Exchanges follow value. So it's good to hear a relevant service surround is being built.

My vote would be to introduce block reward reductions, keeping the total number of coins the same and not having an abrupt stop to rewards. Examining the impacts of reward reductions could even be an important education point too - at least for the older kids.

We'll have to discuss this further to see if the community agrees but as I said before we will do it if there's a consensus.

First of all we need separated websites, one for the kids (more fun) and one for the parents (more technical), it would be nice if we also created videos explaining piggycoin (one for the kids and one for the parents). then we have to partner up with websites kids use so piggy can be treated as a reward and so we get known by the people we are targeting. In the meantime a piggy store will be created do kids can spend their coins, this piggy store will have merchandise and it will be a place where people can sell for piggy.

Partnering with the right kid website will really propel the coin into the media...

Also the idea about having a 'piggystore' something simple and easy for kids like just fun/cheap toys & stuff where they can spend their piggycoins would be a huge hit.

From the OP:
-Video & website for parents explaining how piggy coins can be used to educate their kids on the value of saving

I just really wish the coin had some sort of POS, so the kids could learn about saving and earning interest

We are working hard right now on the piggystore and website, updates soon.
