I made an altcoin (4,2mio - POW/POS scrypt) for teaching normal people about cryptocurrency - uploaded source and all compiled installers on git as there were some other also attending on Skype. Testing little, mined approx 600 coins via CPU and then made finally the 2h teaching with the people.

After they installed in groups the wallet, quick setup CPU-miners and were all looking happy and fascinated on their screens... 5min - 10min, but nothing happened at no computer. Nobody mined a block - after 10min I was looking in detail & saw that someone placed 800MH on our "teaching-coin" Cheesy

So we have no for sending now, haha.

Really funny and obvious situation, maybe you would have made a course about how it is useless to send too much hash power into a new coin, as the only effect is difficulty skyrocketing. A blockchain always tries to release blocks at a stable rate.

Talking about this, are you interested in open source projects ? if, so, i invite you to join the discussion there : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1814799
Sharing knowledge is very important.
