[ANN] Tigercoin - TGC | SHA256 with Super Random Blocks | Please Upgrade to V1.1 - page 28.

Version 1.1 is released. Please upgrade.

Tigercoin - TGC

TGC is a fork of Bitcoin version 0.8, with addition of super random blocks.

Proof of work with SHA256 is used as in Bitcoin. The following specifications are implemented:
   - Each normal block has 128 coins
   - 45 seconds block time
   - Difficulty retargets every 20 blocks (approximately 15 mins).
   - mining payout will be halved every 3 months (every 172800 blocks)
   - once the payout reaches 1 coin/block, it will stay there to sustain the mining
   - Expected total mined coins will be 47,011,968 coins (not counting the one coin per block inflationary sustaining blocks)
   - 4 confirmations for transaction
   - 50 confirmations for minted blocks

   - Random bonus blocks are (on average):
      - 1 superblock of 512 coins every hour (1/80 chance)
      - 1 superblock of 2048 coins every day (1/1920 chance)

   - The default ports are 15660(Connect) and 15661(RPC).

To support early adopters, in the first 3 days - 5760 blocks, all the payouts (including superblocks) will be doubled.

No Premine.
