News about Fedora coin looks good. But what about new development? https://github.com/invisibel/fedoracoin
I'm worry about difficulty and total coin supply. Looks like it needs to review this parameters in the source code.

UPD: main.h in the source code contains this string:
static const int64 MAX_MONEY = 2500000000 * COIN; // FedoraCoin: maximum of 100B coins (given some randomness), max transaction 500,000,000 for now

What did it mean? Why its commented as 100 billion total coins instead of 500 billions was announced?

Great find. I also would like further clarification on this parameter.
In light of eclipsing 81 billion coins in very short order, miners/investors are going to want to definitively know whether Fedoracoin will have a total mintage of 100 billion or 500 billion.

Well hopefully someone more familiar with developing the qt source can give some direction. The 'MAX_MONEY' constant is a function of the variable 'COIN', but that isn't defined in main.h - I'll try to search through some of the other code. Also, I know that there was a fork early on so that comment of 100B coins could be a relic from an older version of Fedora. Since the comment mentions "given some randomness" when talking about the maximum number of coins, I have to imagine that the COIN variable is a psuedo-random parameter (the randomness probably comes in to play with the reward blocks). I'll see what I can find, but I wouldn't jump to any conclusions based on the comments alone - not only could they have not been updated from the original version, it seems a large amount of the code was copied directly from dogecoin (and stablecoin to some extent) so there are likely things that should be changed as a result of that as well.

If anyone else can explain where the COIN parameter is defined, please let me know...
