Tigercoin - TGC, is a fork of Bitcoin version 0.8.99, with addition of super random blocks.

Proof of work with SHA256 is used as in Bitcoin. The following specifications are implemented: - Each normal block has 128 coins - 45 seconds block time - Difficulty retargets every 20 blocks (approximately 15 mins). - mining payout will be halved every 3 months (every 172800 blocks) - Expected total mined coins will be 47,011,968 coins - 4 confirmations for transaction - 50 confirmations for minted blocks

- Random bonus blocks are (on average):
	- 1 superblock of 512 coins every hour (1/80 chance) 
	- 1 superblock of 2048 coins every day (1/1920 chance)

- The default ports are 15660(Connect) and 15661(RPC).

To encourage early adopters, in the first 3 days (1st 5760 blocks) all the payouts (including superblocks) will be doubled.
