This is just a side note, but there are quite a few altcoins that are not forks of any other coin (in other words, coded from scratch).

Would you mind naming a few?

Just curious.

Thanks

Sure. I might not have them all precisely right, as I'm not particularly interested in any of these, but anyhow:
Bytecoin, NXT, Ripple, VanillaCoin, Crypti

Not all are open source. There's certainly others I'm not recalling right now (or that I never head of  Cheesy)
Cheers!

Thanks for the info.

VanillaCoin seems to be forked from Sifcoin though:

// Copyright (c) 2013 The Sifcoin developers
// Copyright (c) 2013 The Vanillacoin developers
// Distributed under the MIT/X11 software license, see the accompanying


And ByteCoin from CryptoNote.

// Copyright (c) 2012-2014, The CryptoNote developers, The Bytecoin developers
//
// This file is part of Bytecoin.


Crypti is a node.js coin, so it is brand new code, yes.


Haven't looked at NXT, Ripple. I think those are a different kind of coins anyways.


Thanks again.

Can you maybe give a sneak preview? or some extra information?

All coins other than Bitcoin are forks of some other coin.

Just look at any file in ASN source:

Some files have this at the top:
// Copyright (c) 2012-2013 The ascension developers

Some have this:
// Copyright (c) 2009-2012 The Bitcoin developers
// Distributed under the MIT/X11 software license, see the accompanying

Some have this:
// Copyright (c) 2009-2010 Satoshi Nakamoto
// Copyright (c) 2009-2012 The Bitcoin developers


While ASN "About" dialog only has this:
"Copyright © 2015 The ascension developers"

Which is obviously missing some info.

It probably would not make sense to fork ASN straight from Bitcoin, as adding POS is not a trivial task.
I assume it was taken from one of POW+POS coins.
And why I'm asking... Some POW+POS coins have some serious problems and I just want to make sure ASN doesn't.

Thanks

The OP still has old info:

> Total PoW coins: ~12,703,320 (estimated)
> Total coins (including PoS): 15,000,000

"blocks" : 9132,
"moneysupply" : 18368530.93641625,

People need to calm down.

Few thing that you should know:

- NO scam ICO
- Flawless launch
- Dev that knows how to code (look at the non-mandatory update)
- Blockchain properly

Also take a look at this post:

ascensioncoin https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/asn-ascension-new-thread-httpsbitcointalkorgindexphptopic-10161820-984878

Heritage:

Problems:

NOTE: Max PoW supply is actually about 36,340,800 coins, making the premine amount actually about 0.6% of the PoW supply
** However, because of PoS running concurrently with PoW, this probably is closer to the ANN advertised amount of 12 million or so.

Notes:

good, genesis seed is news event
good, has checkpoint for premine
good, no undisclosed premine
good, has sync checkpoint server running

Watermarks: uint64_t, pos, drm-like


one of the few "perfect" coins I've reviewed in forever

So it is no fork of another coin.

List of coins he reviewd: https://github.com/Earlz/coinreviews

How many coins die because of shitty coding and incompetent dev?

I also think that it is time to post some news or at least specify the date when it will be done. It will be fair to miners and investors.

The launch was great and the idea with rising reward pretty neat, but it does not count anymore now that the coin is POS.

BUY support is pretty low. There is a kind of wall at 140 satoshi. Are you waiting until we get to that point?

Who's on the team, is it just you or some other devs? Any experience with coins?
What coin was the wallet forked from?
Why is it on bitbucket and not on github like all other coins?

Thanks
