Bounty for the OP translation: 20 FCN for each post.

Specifications:

- PoW algorithm: CryptoNight;
- 60 sec blocks;
- 18.4m total coins supply;
- emission curve 22 => 50% coins will be emitted in 6 years;
- block reward decreases according to the formula (2⁶⁴ - 1 - A)*2^-22*10^-12 where A = supply mined to date;
- difficulty retargets every block;
- merged mining with Bytecoin (BCN), Monero (XMR), QuazarCoin (QCN), duckNote (duck) or any CN based coin. New blockchain needs no additional hashpower - it uses Bytecoin/BCN, Monero/XMR, QuazarCoin/QCN blocks or shares as PoW. Miners are free to choose "donor" chain they like. In case other chains based on CryptoNote will appear they also can be used as "donor" chains.

First merged mining instructions for those who doesn't like GUI:

First of all be sure of two things:

• You have BCN/XMR/QCN address. If you don't know how to get it, please visit this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bcn-bytecoin-not-a-bitcoin-fork-how-to-544715
• You downloaded FantomCoin binaries and extracted them somewhere.

1. Launch Bytecoin's/Monero's/QuazarCoin's daemon and wait till its synchronization.

2. Start FantomCoin's daemon. The process is very similar to BCN's: launch command line, navigate to the right folder and launch fantomoind.exe . Use "save" command after synchronization  

3. Create FCN's address. Again it is the same process for BCN, XMR and QCN: open another instance of command line, navigate to Fantomcoin’s folder and generate new wallet with “simplewallet”.

simplewallet --generate-new-wallet=example_wallet.bin --pass=12345

Here “example_wallet.bin” is the name of the wallet (use .bin file extension) and “12345” is the password for your new wallet.

4. One more command line is needed. Navigate to Fantomcoin's folder and launch minerc.exe using the next command:

minerc --node1=127.0.0.1:8081 --node2=127.0.0.1:24081 --wallet1=%your BCN/XMR/QCN address% --wallet2=%your FCN address%

--node1=127.0.0.1:8081 is IP and BCN's daemon port. If you want MM with MRO you need to use this one: --node1=127.0.0.1:18081 instead
--node2=127.0.0.1:24081 is IP and FCN's  daemon port

5. Enjoy merged mining!


Merged mining with GUI:

1. Start daemons and make sure they are synchronized with the network. Use save command after it.
2. Start GUI miner. Add BCN/MRO and FCN addresses to the right field. Click "Start"
3. PROFIT!
