breadcoin - buy bread with breadcoin

it would suck if you only had milkcoins and needed to buy bread. they won't take it.
this coin sucks but goodluck with this junk.

Yupp there will be at least one pool on start

Is there any pool on start?

Taxicoin was added to AltCoinCalendar.info

yes agree

EST = Eastern Standard Time

6pm,what time zone,the world is a big place,surly this is the basics required

I actually like the 6 hour retarget. It makes it so the it's not too long of a wait when a large hashrate leaves the network, and at the same time gives a padding for when a large hashrate comes in to the network.

It also balances nicely with the super block period. Ensures that for the 2 week period, people won't just come and go.

it's a long time
Difficulty Retarget 6 hours

6h retarget a bit too mutch...also coundown? 

it says it's based on litecoin 0.8 so it's script

I could never understand devs not specifying whether its SHA256, crypt, CPU-only.... Isn't it important?

RPC MELTDOWN - Difficulty Retarget: 6 hours

Annoucement:

What if there was a better way to pay for your taxi, limo or car service? Imagine never thinking about having cab fare or having your credit card information compromised again…

Welcome to the future of taxi payments - TAXICOIN.

Featuring instantaneous service, security and low fees, TAXICOIN is the most reliable method of payment for any taxicab travel. TAXICOIN aims to position itself as the cryptocurrency of choice for taxi operators.

We believe that Bitcoin (and by extension other cryptocurrencies) are exceptional for storing wealth long term, however as they naturally appreciate in value over time they will be used less and less for day to day transactions. Instead, we envision a future in which TAXICOIN can be quickly and easily purchased with BTC, fiat, or other cryptocurrencies for those who wish to specifically use it for taxi transportation.

Mobile phone usage is quickly outpacing traditional landlines, thus doing away with the need for a proprietary hardware device for both driver and passenger. As in the Bitcoin protocol, double spending and charge backs are impossible thereby providing the driver with the security of knowing once sent, TAXICOINS cannot be reverse-charged or withdrawn by a bank.


The Present: TaxiCoin is currently up and running, please join our pool or contact us for help starting your own.


The Future:


Parents and friends will be able to load TAXICOIN securely onto smartphones for easy payment from rider to drivers.

Hosts of events large or small may transfer TAXICOIN to their guests to facilitate transportation to and from their venues.

Using TAXICOIN as a driver means more security and dramatically lower fees as there is no third party facilitating payment.

Use your TAXICOIN for gift cards with qualified partners to get gas, food, movies, and much more by converting your TAXICOIN into redeemable gift cards and passes.
