BADcoin OVERVIEW
BADcoin was officially launched to the public on April 23rd, 2019 with the vision of giving everyone the ability to mine cryptocurrency. BADcoin is a peer-to-peer multichain built on five blockchain protocols. This allows the transfer of crypto assets from one party to another, cheaper, faster, safer, and sexier than others.
Unlike Bitcoin, which requires costly high-end computers, anyone can mine BADcoin fairly, whether on supercomputers or old computers. Having better tech is actually a deterrent with BADcoin. So save your supercomputers for rendering videos and solving Pi...and mine crypto on your old BAD computer.
BADcoin is a legitimate multichain with 5 separate algorithms. With a miner, you can connect to any of the five algorithms with your ASIC miner, your GPU miner, your PC/Mac CPU miners, with connections to other devices in the future. Everyone can mine fairly, no matter how much hashpower you have. If you have a CPU w/ a GPU card, you can mine both simultaneously!
Fair is good. Even monkeys can mine BADcoin!
The team at The Bad Crypto Podcast has been working with one of the top blockchain development teams over the past 6 months and have developed one of the most advanced blockchain projects to date without an ICO and without raising any funds. Over 1000 hours of development time spent of BADcoin, so far!
It’s not Bitcoin, it’s BADcoin. And it’s so BAD, it’s GOOD.
THE FIVE BADcoin ALGORITHMS.
Don’t worry if you don’t understand these terms. The important thing is that you find the one algorithm that goes with the device you will be mining from. For most people who are requiring instructions, odds are you will be using “yescrypt”, which works with Windows PC and Mac OS devices.

DEVELOPMENT
In the past two years, Comm and Wright have interviewed hundreds of cryptocurrency and blockchain experts. Throughout those discussions, one inherent flaw of Bitcoin was revealed… it has evolved into centralized mining. Bitmain’s Jihan Wu and other large-scale mining operations have so much computing power (hashrate) focused on Bitcoin mining, that it’s nearly impossible for regular people to mine Bitcoin. In fact, you need a massive and costly server farm to successfully mine Bitcoin today.
In late 2018, Wright had the idea to make a blockchain that old and dated computers could use to mine, as well as AMD & NVIDIA GPU MINING, and ASIC Miners. The more powerful your computer, the lower your block reward. BADcoin monitors hashrate and the algorithms with the lower amounts of hash get larger rewards at a greater frequency.
Wright and Comm ran into Marshall Long at World Crypto Con in Las Vegas. Known for being one of the first large-scale Bitcoin miners, Long has a large team of blockchain developers who have built over 50 successful blockchain projects. Bad Crypto shared the idea with Long and challenged his team to create it. Long, who helped build Myriad Coin, used some of that code and the dev team added a bunch of features to create the new BADcoin.
With the goal of making BADcoin a solution to the problem of centralized mining, they have built a multichain blockchain that is the hybrid of five blockchain algorithms. The kind of device you use to connect to the mining pool will determine which of the five algorithms you connect to.
THE FIRST BADCOIN V1.0 & PREMINE INFO
In July of 2017, Travis Wright and Joel Comm launched The Bad Crypto Podcast. As a means of teaching their audience how to use cryptocurrency without expenses, they created BADCOIN 1.0 on the Bitshares platform. The novelty token was utterly worthless, and was given away to fans as an incentive for engagement with the podcast, and to teach people how to trade crypto with no financial risk.
They issued over 5 BILLION BADCOIN V1.0 to over 48,000 community addresses on the Bitshares blockchain to date, via the airdrop, community giveaways, to friends and guests of the show. Those who were with us in the beginning received extra rewards.
BADcoin PREMINE
Pre-mine: Yes (to swap the old BADCOIN to the new BAD) ~ 5 Billion
- airdropped 10,000 to over 48,000 Bitshares addresses holding at least 1 BTS in their wallet
- sent to listeners who asked for them, between 50,000 - 1,000,000 each
- given to guests and friends of the show 1-10m each
- awarded to advisors and employees of BCP - 21m each
- retained for the two co-hosts - 1b each
Swap ratio: 0.4 BADcoin for each BADCOIN on the old platform
- Cut off date for token swap: (tentatively set for August 31st, 2019)
- Unswapped tokens will be: Donated to the Foundation for future development, contests, & marketing.
PROJECT INFORMATION
BADcoin was launched in the interest of fair, decentralized mining and distribution. As of May 5, 2019, almost 300 concurrent miners from all around the world have installed the BADcoin blockchain and are helping create a very strong network that is 51% attack-resistant.
There was no ICO, no masternodes, and you can mine BAD using AMD or NVIDIA GPUs, Intel & AMD CPUs, MacOS, Linux miners, and ASIC miners. The project is open-source and is available on Github.
BADcoin is focused on maintaining a decentralized network and the core developers have expressed their intent to continue to monitor the network and keep it fair for PC’s, Macs and other bad computers to be able to mine.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
BADcoin FOUNDATION
The Bad Crypto Podcast is in the works of creating a BAD Foundation to help distribute funds for future projects. BADcoin Foundation will be the custodian of the blockchain. The foundation will support and encourage continued development on the project, market the project, and assist in getting listed on exchanges. We will update as this moves further along. http://BADFDN.org

Congrats, you’re mining BAD.
It should work. If not, call customer support.
Oh yeah, there isn’t a customer support for BAD, because it’s open source and the project is decentralized. No company owns the BADcoin project, but we will maintain the blockchain and keep innovating on it. Go to the Github repository for the open-source code.
The BAD community does its best to answer everything on the BADcoin Discord.
