This isn't a new coin. It's been out Since January. Total supply = 391,128,221 http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/rimbit/#charts
The way to get coins is to buy them initially from Rimbit. It was 100 percent premined.

One can buy RBT on IndieGoGo https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/we-want-to-take-over-from-bitcoin-and-be-number-1#/story
Or on the Rimbit Forum store http://rimbitforum.com/store/
Rimbit also trades on a number of exchanges such as C-Cex and Use-cryptos
Rimbit definitely makes sense as you don't waster thousands of dollars on mining equipment. Just buy the amount of RBT that you want or can afford.

A long but good read. This looks like a promising coin project. How do we get the coins?

So why Rimbit and not Bitcoin?
We get asked this question many times and it is also this question we asked ourselves early on that made us create Rimbit, when the Bitcoin community ignored our warnings that Bitcoin would eventually be managed by Companies..... and 2 years later, Bitcoin is managed by 21 companies with the top 3 companies managing 51% of Bitcoin and they are also based in China.
Reference: http://www.businessinsider.com/bitcoin-pools-miners-ranked-2015-7
We were Bitcoin miners (2013), and proud to be part of the community that was helping maintain the network, but after spending $10,000 USD on hardware that only had a ROI (Return of investment) of only a few months, we looked at Bitcoin more closely and we predicted that the hardware that the community needed to maintain the network, would increase in cost exponentially, we began to look at what Bitcoin was heading for.
So 2 years later, the Bitcoin network is managed by private miners (companies) and cloud mining firms that will let you rent their old miners.
To be effective Bitcoin miners these days, you will need to rent a large warehouse and purchase a few million dollars worth of mining equipment for that warehouse and make sure that you have a return of a few hundred thousand dollars to cover the monthly electricity bill and that simple fact is what killed the everyday Bitcoin miner!
So how is Rimbit different?
As our concerns were falling on deaf ears, we knew that the only way that Crypto Currency had a chance to survive as a community currency was to build it ourselves and with the help of community funding, we launched Rimbit the currency that was a mix of Bitcoin code and code from other coins.
The differences:
- Rimbit is not mined so no company can manage the network
- Instead the community who run Rimbit wallets are responsible in running the network
- The only hardware required to use and manage the Rimbit network is an old computer, running windows, mac or linux
- A new project has been started to run the Rimbit wallet on a RasberryPi which will only consume a few dollars worth of electricity per year
- 5% stake (Interest) is generated by the Rimbit network and issued via the blockchain back to the Rimbit wallets that remain online to help the network
- Our goal is to minimize the hardware and utility costs, while Bitcoin does the opposite and increase the hardware and utility cost (now in the $ millions per month)

We created a minerless coin, simply to avoid the influences of Mining Hardware, Pools and Farms.
Our goal since day one, which continues till now, is to hand over the reigns to the community, as we have stated time and time again.
This includes the community appointing a CEO to run operations etc.
Rimbit is geared towards being the truest Community coin possible.
----------------------------------------------------------
What are the unique features?
We started Rimbit to be a currency and have never felt it necessary to sway to far from the core principals of Bitcoin, as we strongly believe that Bitcoin is the best coin, except for the mining aspect.
We built Rimbit to simply be a currency... nothing more, nothing less and feel no need to have black hole technology or Whizz Bang X55Z-Nebulas integration, because there is no need to!!!
Its just a currency and more devs should embrace that simplicity!
However, we will use our simple approach to Rimbit to spawn new ways of utilizing blockchains by eventually combining new chains into our wallets, again bypassing mining, to give wallets more applications that can be added or removed, based on what extra utilities a user requires... such as contracts etc...
What is in store for Rimbit in the future?
We are currently running some hardware projects to enable users from less fortunate countries that ability to run Rimbit wallets, 24/7 at nearly zero electricity cost.
You can see a testing version of the RimbitPi wallet running... here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLw0lLQDOhI
Rimbit would also like to harness the power of our community run blockchain so we can create applications such as password managers, document verification tools, rental contracts and a multitude of other blockchain powered tools that are safe from manipulation of the Bitcoin style network that is currently the main crypto currency and unfortunately the worst possible version of a crypto currency that is at the mercy of 21 companies than run the network!
UPDATE: March 2016 - Bitcoin network is failing and Miners are the issue
Looks like our Prediction for Bitcoin is coming true - Something we knew back in 2013 and the reason we started Rimbit in 2014

BTCC today deployed 100 full bitcoin nodes across five continents to support the bitcoin network. Full bitcoin nodes enforce the rules of the bitcoin network by serving a full copy of the bitcoin blockchain and validating blocks and transactions.
BTCC is the first bitcoin exchange and first mining pool to donate and deploy full bitcoin nodes for the maintenance of the bitcoin network.
While bitcoin miners are rewarded with bitcoins for generating transaction confirmations, nodes are not compensated for hosting the blockchain database and relaying transactions.
BTCC's chief operating officer Samson Mow said that the company deployed the nodes in order to do its part in helping maintain the bitcoin network. The network has seen a 19 percent decrease in viable nodes over the past year to 5,280 at the time of publishing.
"As a proponent and believer in bitcoin, we see both supporting core development and well as the bitcoin network itself as our duty," Mow said. "The nodes we deployed today will help to preserve the network as the number of full bitcoin nodes continues to decrease."
BTCC's chief technology officer Mikael Wang said ten of the nodes were set up as DNS seed nodes. BTCC DNS seed nodes provide the bitcoin community with secure and trusted full nodes to help new nodes synchronize with the network.
"BTCC has deployed ten powerful DNS seed nodes with unrestricted network access that are publicly available for anyone to use when hosting their own bitcoin core nodes," Wang said. "Simply connect to seed.btcc.com:8333."
A list of all the full bitcoin nodes that BTCC has deployed is available at: https://bitnodes.21.co/nodes/?q=/BTCC:0.11.2/
BTCC deployed 19 percent of the nodes in Germany; 19 percent in Singapore; 13 percent in China; 21 percent in the United States; and 7 percent each in Australia, Brazil, Ireland, and Japan.
BTCC's chief executive officer Bobby Lee said BTCC deployed the nodes across five continents in order to ensure that people across the world can easily access the bitcoin network.
"Most reachable full bitcoin nodes are located in the US," said Lee. "So we intentionally distributed the nodes we donated in countries that rank low on the full bitcoin node geographic distribution list. We encourage other bitcoin companies to join us in contributing to the bitcoin ecosystem by sponsoring powerful full nodes."
