As much as I agree that starting a coin with base difficulty is just fucking retarded, I seriously doubt the majority are going to listen. This exact issue is addressed and complained about hundreds of times per week and it doesn't seem to be changing anything.

But still, I totally agree and +1 OP

Well I figure maybe some math and a convincing blurb on why it's against their best interest to do this silliness might convince some people. Maybe. We can only hope.

Anyway c4n10 I can't wait for your coin to come out with its 0.25 start difficulty. Hopefully some people start using your idea. Maybe it would help if you write a few words explaining how to properly set the initial difficulty to 0.25?

It's actually VERY easy, in main.cpp:

Code:

static CBigNum bnProofOfWorkLimit(~uint256(0) >> 20)

Change "20" to something higher. A value of "30" gives you a starting difficulty just under 0.25
