History:
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

PokeCoin was abandoned by the previous development team.

I have been discussed with some members of PokeCoin community and a takeover is in place.
No planned change to the existing core code for the immediate future.
No planned change to the POS percentage or algorithm for the immediate future.
Planned inclusion request of Bittrex,

I have been working for PokeCoin and the new website ( poketrainr.com) and here are the updates so far:

UPDATE 1:

3 new POKE nodes:

108.61.188.71
108.61.202.164
104.238.159.141

UPDATE 2:

The mining pool: pool.poketrainr.com:81 - Yes, it is running on port 81, as on port 80, I have mono http://www.mono-project.com running for the mining pool ( I can reverse the whole setup, but I am running multiple projects at once, and I admit, I was a little bit lazy, and just pointed the pool to port 81 and mono to 80)- But is working.

The whole setup is pretty intuitive, but I will make it even easier, so even a newbie can do it

Download the X11 cpu minere from here:  http://poketrainr.com/go/mining-pool/
Edit the file RUN-X11-gw64.bat and replace the poke address "Pmag3qRGoSgT63D4UjmUtowEABCEywZ6mg" with yours;
Edit the file cfg.json and replace  the "threads" : 3, with the number of CPU cores you have;
Double click on RUN-X11-gw64.bat  and you are mining PokeCoin

Pool fee is set to 3% ( for the first month) then it will be modified to 2%.

I have set the fee to 3% as the process of takeover can be a little bit expensive and I need some funds for a new feature. ( keep reading and you will find out).

UPDATE 3:

I am running another project where I want to launch a helium balloon into the stratosphere. The first helium balloon released into the stratosphere from Iasi, Romania. Ever since I was a kid, I was fascinated by space. I always knew there are many things waiting to be discovered.

As Disney said, "ideas come out of curiosity"; I I took the words seriously and began to follow my curiosity, bringing it to another level. Therefore, I want to launch a weather balloon into the stratosphere. It will measure temperature, humidity, space radiation and make some spectacular photographs of the Earth's curvature.

So I want to increase the awareness of the PokeCoin and I will use it in my project as well.

Come on Board!

Do you want to be part of this unique experience in crypto history? Or to tell to your friends that your name traveled into the stratosphere in a helium balloon? I have prepared for you a few packages of flight, in exchange for a donation to take us closer to the Earth's curvature.

1.5M (1500000) POKE flight

In exchange for a donation of 1500000 POKE, you will get: Your name printed in the logbook that will reach the stratosphere and I will also send you via e-mail the best picture of all the flight.

Cool huh?

You will take off from Iasi Airport in Romania so you will need a personalized ticket. We have a slick design, and we believe that you would love to see your name out there.

The first flight was on APR, 28-th, but the balloon had a short fly ~170 meters, as the atmospheric pressure didn't helped us to reach higher altitudes, so we had a floater.

We did however captured the balloon and the whole setup, after 40 minutes of chase. It had a rough landing on a pond, then the pond grass, then a wheat field, then it bumped into a wire fence, then it took another hit ( eaves).
The good thing is that after a good run in the mud, I did catch it, the cameras are ok, and I have a few funny moments of the whole thing getting hit after hit:).

It was a 250 Euro flight, as I had to release the helium. I had only a specific timeframe to release it, in order to comply with local regulations, but I am not giving up. I will have another flight, at the end of this August, on good conditions: temp, wind, atmospheric pressure .

2.5M (2500000) POKE flight

All the benefits from the previous package + a first class flight, with the help of idei3d.ro.

To be more specific, your name will be 3D printed and will reach the stratosphere at 30+ km. After recovering (yes, the spacebox gets back to Earth), I'll ship your 3d printed name .

P.S. Flight captain says we have left a few spaces available, but they'll fill quickly.

UPDATE 4:

A Pokémon Trainer (Japanese: ポケモントレーナー Pokémon Trainer) is a person who catches, trains, cares for and battles with Pokémon. The majority of people within the known Pokémon world are Trainers.
So are you a Pokemon trainer? Join our community and share your experience and skills with your friends.

The whole idea of poketrainr.com started in July, and this might catch on.

So if you are a pokemon go trainer, you can create an account on poketrainr.com and you can share your experience with the whole world.
Sounds cheesy huh?

So for $17 worth of PokeCoin, I will create a custom subdomain on poketrainr.com, I will create a 10 MB custom mailbox and also install wordpress for you, so you can share your experience.
Let's say that your name/alias is max. This means that your mailbox will be [email protected] and the wordpress will be installed on max.poketrainr.com

This is not it.

I am also working on a reputation system where the best story of pokemon can receive votes and based on those votes, I will reward the owner with PokeCoin.

I am also working on a partnership/referral program where you can earn PokeCoin. Updates to follow.

I am also looking for experienced Pokemon trainers that could join the club.

I have no idea where this will go, but I will give it a try.
If you still hold POKE, maybe we should spread the word out there about this new initiative and let's revive the coin.

Oh, and see you on the thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1589643.60
