Solid Coin

Solidcoin is a very interesting coin as it started out with a lot of controversy.   There are two main parties, that of Coinhunter who is the owner of the coin and his rival Bitcoinexpress.  I would say both are fascinating people and super intelligent.   So their conversations are interesting to read.   Basically Solidcoin started on 20th of August 2011.   There are suppose to be quite a lot of improvements as listed:

• Faster transaction processing
• Protection against pump-n-dump by large pools
• Twice daily difficulty retargets
• 3 minute blocks, 32 SolidCoins per block
• Maximum coin generation of 18.9 million (18900000) to be reached by ~2022
• Fixed transactions fees instead of unknown variable fees in BTC
• Interface improvements
• JSON API improvements
• Different address format
