1. Zero pre-mined blocks
Aaaah. A completely broken, non-functional block chain.
(No, not trolling, correcting. Blockchain requires a genesis block. So at least one block is pre-mined...)
Only the genesis block will be generated
Bounties are in BTC because if the money doesn't succeed the bounties will be worth nothing whereas the guys did make the work
Btw, only 50 coins/blk. Chosing another number is just to say 'hey look at meh i'm different better and all'...
