The source won't be released until launch. We are trying to providing binaries (for pool mining software) ahead of the launch, so pool operators can make sure everything is up and running.

This seems like a bad idea... At least provide the source 1 hour+ before launch

That would effectively move the launch forward by an hour. What do you hope to accomplish by doing that?

edit - Oh I think I get it - you're suggesting the source sans genesis block should be released publicly ahead of time - is that right?

correct. Or, make the first 30 blocks return a value of 1 HVC

hope dev team can agree with this!

Guys, this information has been on the website for about two weeks! We'll do something to try to make this more visible.

How it works

Intially Heavycoin starts with a zero block reward. The very first miners will have the first opportunity to solve blocks and vote on what the first democratically selected block reward should be. The first 100 blocks (3.3 hours) will decide the starting block reward. From then on, block reward voting will continue, but the votes are counted and averaged every 3600 blocks (5 days).

Heavycoin is configured to mine and vote by default, with a default vote of 512 HVC. If you want to change your block reward vote then see How to vote. Otherwise, to disable voting then see How to mine. When mining is enabled, every time you mine a block your wallet will automatically cast a block reward vote. The Heavycoin network automatically averages these votes every 5 days (3600 blocks) and sets the new block reward accordingly. The block reward is the average of all 3600 votes over the previous voting period rounded to the nearest integer.

We encourage everyone interested in finding out about Heavycoin (and how to do various things) to read over the website. There is lots of information there.
