Topic: Bottlecaps 2.1 UPDATE REQUIRED - HARDFORK JULY 4 2014 to 200% Annual PoS - page 210. (Read 388610 times)

I was a bit sceptical about this coin but now I can see it is a great one! Just dont stop supporting it!!!

I agree with CaptChadd !

Cap currency or Caps is of course the best name , I think its been decided Captain !

Loving Caps - for all those that said it didn't Sync - have patience - this is likely because you are new that you thought it would not sync,  i run the Caps bag with no config has never re-sync not once.

I dont see what is wrong with this coin at all. It has a great name, works fine and has no premine. I have mined a few of these and intend to again in the near future.

Yeah the nukacola place already only accepts there own bottlecap version. I wonder if they would be interested great idea.

Holy crap, that would be awesome to buy Nuka Cola with Bottlecaps. 

If you support bottlecaps lets get these vendors interested by contacting them explaining the value of cryptocurrency and how Bitcoin and Bottlecaps might benefit them.

Mmmmmm Bottlecaps!

Dont bother, bot is another failcoin.

My Windows client is not syncing either, and I used addnodes. My other clients (BTC, LTC, FTC, FRK, WDC, BQC, etc.) all run fine.

EDIT: I addnoded every address in the first post, and it finally started to sync.

EDIT2: Now it says "WARNING: Checkpoint is too old. Wait for block chain to download, or notify developers." It looks fine otherwise, so I don't really know what the problem is.

+1 great idea

There are tons of connections, you should not need any addnodes.

Takes a minute to get the "peer-list", but once you have those, you are golden. Using addnodes is only needed for dire situations and for "new coins". This coin is hardly new, and hardly difficult to find a node on the network.

Just don't forget to unlock your locked wallet, before you mine. (They really need a button for that! Or make it a popup on the lock, or a menu-selection under the encrypt wallet... Along with auto-lock on exit option. Would be better in code, to just allow deposits without the lock. Why would a deposit need to be checked for security. )

Great coin. Great launch.

P.S. QR-codes in the windows binary would be nice. Or disabling that menu item when it isn't included would be in order, since it does not do anything.

Done and working now...thank you sir

Added another block explorer http://bottlecaps.kicks-ass.net/block_crawler.php some nice additions has a combined pool hash rating to help get the network hashrate.

Try to use some of the other peers in the list as your addnode you can have more than one addnode

Hi,
I downloaded the wallet, but it won't sync. Tried adding the .conf file with the addnode, but it still won't work. Help! thx

Fail... Um.... No that is BTC.

This coin is almost steadily above BTC mining value at 150%. Sounds like an epic WIN to me.

No premine +800 points in my book.
No easy-mine +1600 points in my book.
Earns additional value by holding, "off the market". +3200 points in my book.
Has tons of support, before ever hitting an exchange, with all of the above stated... +6400 points in my book.

That's over 9000!

Pisses off Breen2543... Priceless!

I am prepared for WW3 now, "The ASIC war", and all those hours playing Fallout-3 and all those days collecting physical bottle-caps will finally pay-off! Now how the hell do I scan my physical caps, to turn them into these fancy digital ones... Do I use an image-host, or do I need to send them to the crypt-keeper for encryption?

Coming from a man of your stellar reputation we will take that as a compliment. We welcome criticism in fact we simply wish to encourage folks to support Proof of Stake coins, coins with no premine and fair releases with active developer support.

Epic FAIL

 No one wants your Butthole bottlecaps... NEXT

Some exciting stuff coming for bottlecaps this week. We should have the new -QT to go with the already updated source code. The update should include:
- New Trade code of CAP
- The new logo
- The checkpoints update if you already haven't compiled the source

Additionally we should have an official website soon which should coincide with the new binaries. We are also showing on coinchoose now which has grabbed back some interest in the caps.

Why should you support bottlecaps? We made the coin with the intent to release a coin that had all the stats that should make a coin fair.

1. We did NOT premine any not a single block! In retrospect we are starting to see that not premining seems to have little affect on coins value trading and definitely affects how fast you can get folks on board to develop features etc. So if you hate premining support the coins that were released without one. Yeah I know we all like money but volunteer and support some of the coins that didn't take anything for themselves.

2. NO instamine we set the difficulty at a starting diff of 0.25 we tried for one but well it might never have been released as the genesis block took about 8 hours just at 0.25. If you watched the release less than a couple hundred coins were mined in the first couple hours.

3. Its a Proof of Stake coin meaning its less vulnerable to 51% attacks that plague the smaller altcoins oh and you get what could be called interest with proof of stake minting! Don't like bottlecaps thats ok support the other great PoS coins for the same reason.

4. A decent block size not to small not to big but 10 to keep it from getting over inflated. Did you know at this moment there are only 144000 caps in circulation?

5. Transaction times yeah were not the fastest but we took some of the good of litecoin and read the input of those that fear for DGC and WDC and said hey a tad longer is ok for the sake of security. It's still pretty fast.

6. The coin was a community effort of chatters on cryptsy.com and some other folks active here on the forums who all volunteer no one is paid to develop for the coin they do so to support the effort. We even took the communities advice and changed some things about it such as the upcoming trade code change and the new logo.

Bottom line bottlecaps is a solid coin errr cap that tries to take the good from many coins and put them in one. Hope you all enjoy the coming new features. Thanks for making it this far in my post.

CAP 100%...

"I'm gonna pop a BOT in your ass?"... is not as intimidating as, "I'm gonna to pop a CAP in your ass!"...
or
BOT-gun vs CAP-gun... (Though, BOT-guns sound cool!)
or
Its cool to have a CAP on your head... Its just odd to have a BOT on your head...
or
Twist off the CAP and chug one down... If you figure out how to twist off a BOT, I don't think he will like it much! He may chug you down!

Then it is settled... we will call them BOB!
