What's the difference between this coin and the one it's forked from (Nerva)? Someone correct me but the only thing I can see so far is that this coin has a premine whereas Nerva didn't.

If you have 2 coins that are essentially exactly the same - because Blur's code is Nerva copypasta - why not pick the original coin without a premine instead of the copycat *with* a premine?

If there is actually anything new here and it's not just a really shitty coder copying someone else's work and selling it to stupid people so he can dump his premine I'll dedicate a few Ryzens to mining it.

So, what's the difference?

Biggest differences are emission speed is (20) - that's an exponent - and total supply is cut in half vs Monero's 18.4M (9.2233M).... those variables are present in the equation (Block Reward)=((9223300000000000000)-(Available Supply)*10^12)*2^-20*10^-12).

The values in Nervas code are 18 (a good bit faster) and 18.4M, respectively. You're mistaken about the pre-mine as well -- that is present in both projects.

OK, cool. So you're right about the premine. It was months ago that I read the Nerva announcement and I jumbled that information with another coin, so apologies.

You didn't delete my somewhat negative comment so kudos to you. That was half of my test to see if you were legit (in my eyes).

So currently at least you feel the major - and perhaps only difference - between Nerva and Blur is the block rewards as neither your project nor Nerva have mentioned other focuses yet (which is fine, getting a truly CPU-bound algorithm down is enough to put someone into top 50 CMC after a few years). I'll add a little hashpower to your network, though I am still *more* interested in Nerva but I am open to having you change my mind.

I would like to bring up that I am a part of the Guardian team and we just released our beta escrow platform. It is the first piece of software we released in our ecosystem. Over the next 12 months we're going to be releasing a rather astounding suite of programs designed to prevent fraud in cryptocurrency. Safe P2P transactions is one of several dozen areas we are targeting. I don't want to get into *too* much more detail until our whitepaper comes out in a few days but that's the general gist of things.

Anyway currently listing on our platform is cheap as it's a beta release (thoroughly bug tested, it's safe) and we are trying to build our userbase and awareness of our product. Trading using our platform is also cheaper than using exchanges as we only charge the blockchain transaction fee after initial listing. One of our beginning goals with the escrow platform is to provide coins with limited exchange access a way to safely trade/sell their coins. Listing cost is 1000 GDNC which comes out to about 150 USD. As our full suite of software starts coming out and the scope of Guardian is recognized we are hoping to be the tide that lifts some other smaller but *extremely* valuable projects. I am currently working to list Nerva and I believe having Blur on the platform would be beneficial too.

If you're interested in discussing it further let me know, send me a PM. If you like you can look at our escrow platform:
