Snowballs (Coin) Launch Thread
http://mmxivcoin.com/forum/index.php/topic,23.0.html

If anyone wants to copy this to bitcointalk since I'm banned, that would be cool
I'll post it in my own thread whenever my ban is up, but who knows when that will be

Snowballs

Snowballs are an experiment to push the limits of our staking hardware. They will feature 1,000,000 BALLS via SHA Proof of Work followed by 5000% yearly stake. This is very high because we are testing methods of making the Snowball Staking hardware a viable alternative to expensive, high energy miners. The short mining phase ensures we have widespread coin distribution to ensure a smooth hand off to a Pure Proof of Stake network

Future Plans

It's up to you guys whether you mine it or not. We have plans to use this coin as an incentive program towards our Snowball hardware customers. It has a use for us. Whether you want to participate or not is cool either way. The goal is to provide a low cost, standalone staking device that can earn more than high cost, high energy mining hardware. Minting is the future of low cost coin generation and we are at the forefront both with Maieuticoin and now Snowballs, which are created to out-perform proof of work chains for minting profits vs mining costs

Rewards Program

BALLS will be an available option when you purchase your Snowball Staking Hardware with Maieuticoin. Unlike when selecting another chain, each Snowball customer that chooses BALLS will receive some free per purchase. Simply send us an address your Snowball hardware generates once you receive the unit. This is why this coin has such a high staking percentage; to encourage the use of cheap, cost efficient, low energy staking hardware for long term profits instead of expensive, outdated, high energy mining hardware that will, very likely, net owners a negative ROI as difficulties go higher and profitabilities per MH, GH, or TH fall lower

This coin was also intentionally made to be tough for pools. It is meant to be solo mined and distributed quickly so there are a lot of coins out prior to reaching the staking phase tomorrow afternoon
