blocks doesn't matter here because they never get a blockhalf, the bonus is the key here

the bonus are too big... a 2,000,000 bonus is worth 200 blocks...

what is a detailed definition of a fair launch?

Waiting the launch. As others said, hope the launch is fair.

dont mess it with premine. and what is the rate of hitting a bonus ?

yea im not exactly sure if this should be a dick with thorns or just an elephant 

That's a fine coin logo you have there.

no premine and caliing out karma. i'll mine for sure.

 

no premine and some kind of funny bonus rewards, like that 

You might want to put the name of the coin in the title.

The Karmacoin community has created a currency that can be used to reward people for doing good. We see Karmacoin donation addresses appear in things like news articles about people who went above and beyond to be good.  Soon after someone reads the article like that they will now have a way to reward the person who did good. In order build the community quickly so that there is currency for rewarding, there are larger bonuses for the first 400,000 blocks than after that.  The founders are aligned with every individual - there has been no pre-mining.

Mission
The mission of Karmacoin is to provide a common, easy-to-use method for people to reward others for doing good things.

Goals

1)  Karmacoin to become the global "currency with heart"

2) Platform for the Good Economy. Karmacoin makes it easy to send small amounts of money to your friends, family, co-workers, neighbors, charities, and other causes for the good things they do.

3) Make "Give+Karma" a reality on the internet and in real life as ubiquitous as a "Like".

4) Enable people to "Give+Karma" via the 5 elements of the Karmacoin ecosystem:

• Tipping - Internet tipping systems for Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Google+, Reddit
• Donating
• Buying/Selling
• Sharing
• P2P Finance

Philosophy

Karmacoin is a powerful instrument in the symphony for global change. We can make the world a better place through lots of small, everyday actions. Karmacoin can be thought of as an incentive for more people to:

• do good things
• be kind towards others
• express thanks
• donate to groups that are doing good things

Traditional methods of transacting funds make it difficult to send both small and large amounts to people and causes that you care about. Giving a tip to a waitress, some small change to a stranger or a friend is easy when done in person. But over the internet it becomes impractical because of high transaction fees, which can make up a significant percentage of a small gift and, for large transactions, represent a large enough amount that could be better-utilized by the person or group receiving it.

By using Karmacoin, people can send money to help others quickly, securely, and with very low transaction costs.

Vision

Our vision is a world where people have an easy way to express thanks and reward others, and to share Karmacoin with groups and causes organizations that are doing good. An actual token of appreciation.
