AMC Coin - The Long Wait

The 24 hours turned up to be 3 days and counting.   I wonder when will we be able to start mining this coin.   There seems to be a tremendous number of Alt Coins coming out recently.   I guess it is due to the survival and good performance of Alt coins like LTC.

Geist Geld

Trying to document some of the older Alt Coins

Geist Geld is an experimental currency intended to test out the limits of block generation rate empirically, as well as (assuming it does not die due to overly rapid block generation rate) the behavior of a cryptocurrency with (almost) stable generation rate and no upper limit or alteration to supply.

Geist Geld intentionally seeks to trade some decentralization to gain more transaction speed, thus, pools are kindly invited to participate so that centralization would increase somewhat

This is quite a fun coin as I remembered it.   It is extremely fast.  Pity that it does not catch on.

AMC Coin

AMC Coin also known as the American Coin is designated as the most patriotic coin.   It was first seen on the 29 May 2013 on the Bitcointalk.   I went to their web site and found that it claims to be based on Litecoin meaning it is more CPU friendly and is the most patriotic coin.  But how so?  Just because of the name?   Also it has a block reward of 100 coins and will be limited to 168 million coins making it twice as much as Litecoin.  It is optimized for CPU mining as expected using scrypt as a proof of work.   Interesting to see how it will compete against Litecoin.

The America Coin web site is at here.   At the moment it looks like it is supporting only the Windows Daemon and Wallet.   Looks like you can be one of the pioneers if you configure your rigs now:
