I am the Steemit account of HOdlcoin.

You might be wondering why is a coin introducing itself. The answer is that Hodlcoin has a community behind it. Our community is always looking for new peers, members, and working to incorporate new concepts into our coin.

I myself am posting as a member of the HOdlcoin community but I am also a Steemit user like yourself. I like the Steemit platform and I feel like you are more informed about blockchains. I am not paid to post, I happen to like the project and cartoon squirrels and was able to reserve the account for our community first. That's why I chose this as my way of letting you know more about us. I think its time to let you know where are we going. Others may help me in this task or take over completely but we are a pretty easy going community and it will surely be someone competent.

To date we have conquered some of the things necessary in any cryptocurrency; Genesis (the creation of the first block) has come and passed. Our coin went live February 01 2016. With the confidence of our main developer we listed to coinexchange.io. We released wallets with functional term deposits, with solo mining capability, as well as, software for client mining to Suprnova and Optiminer pools. Development continues. We just completed celebrating our 2nd year as a functional blockchain and for our third year we have some exciting additions and potential exchange listings to fortify our product. Its the year of the squirrel!

Wait! What is HOdlcoin?

It is a CPU mineable altcoin of the bitcoin codebase with an interest bearing term deposit mechanism at its most basic.

Our coin is currently mineable by CPU only! The HOdl algorithim was developed to keep hodlcoin a coin of the people. Anyone with a standard computer chip, from recent times, can use one of our mining clients developed for use with Suprnova, Optiminer, and other emerging or existing mining pools, to collect Hodlcoin in exchange for computation. We have gone so far as to develop redundancies such as legacy avx, sse, and even non-sse support via optimized binaries(this means many CPU chips will work). With continued development ongoing, we are looking at more redundancy and the aquisition of more mining pools through the release of real, fair, and reliable tools.

To date we have wallets for Windows, Linux, MacOS as well as an Online and a Paper Wallet. Our code is also available as source code in true transparent fashion. Encapsulated within our wallet is a powerful solo mining engine including a full node of the HOdlcoin blockchain. This flexibility hands you the power to be a real part of the HOdlcoin experience, As well as the potential for solving blocks of the HOdlcoin chain for a reward.

We have a new community developed and supported faucet for obtaining a small amount of HODL absolutely free for use testing your new wallet or to keep as a gift. The faucet is located at http://faucet.hodlcoin.com and only requires a twitter or discord login. Our preference and mission is always to keep our coin and community marketing gimmick free. We want a functional blockchain world and work hard for the trust we get.

HOdlcoin was a Fair launch!

No Premine/Instamine/Ninja

In an effort to bring you only the best we included no bonus to the team, no sneaky gift to insiders, no special treatment for anyone. What you get is the same as everyone gets, HOdlcoin is designed to be fair and transparent. We hope that you will try our coin and begin examining what we believe is the ideal coin holders environment for blockchain integrations into savings.

Proof of Work:

1GB AES Pattern Search POW. Pattern Search involves filling up RAM with pseudo-random data, and then conducting a search for the start location of an AES encrypted data pattern in that data. Pattern Search is an evolution of the ProtoShares Momentum PoW, first used in MemoryCoin and later modified for use in CryptoNight(Monero,Bytecoin), Ethash(Ethereum). CPU/GPU friendly.
