UPDATE August, 2014: trade with EXTREME care when involved with either #SherlockCoin OR #SummerCoin2 The reason for this alert is the following: the developer had me write and rewrite this giveaway: amount of work: close to 8 hours at least... Yes, it takes that long to write a giveaway! I was always told coins were in their way and usually I do not have to distrust these promises... Only when the coin turn out to be a scam I lose bounty. This never happened for any of my giveaways, but did happen for other bounties I worked for.
The developer of Sherlockcoin plaid me like a pro. Apologies here, a LOL there, a miscommunication as such and then he would go offline again, not to be reached: the main reason he could dangle me along for a few months (!).
Up to today: I still have 0 Sherlockcoin. And with only 221 I would have loved 1 full coin, and with the low low low prices of this coin that would have been perfectly possible. Now he is my first blocked twitter account. I only have 2 blocked: I proud myself in that! And am not afraid to name and shame... I've been more than patient!
Thank you for reading, spread the word ;p 
Sherlock Coin has been launched early February ('014) and has gone under the radar so far. I suspect things to change due to the hard fork coming about this week. SherlockCoin V1 is *no* more (will not sync) and SherlockCoin V2 wallet is distributed. There will be a coin swap so if you have coins on your SherlockCoin V1 wallet you can leave them there and start using the SherlockCoin V2 wallet, which is in effect a new coin. An explanation on how to swap V1 coins for V2 coins, will follow. I'll update here as soon as details are clear!
The developers are in it for the long haul: they are fans of Sherlock Holmes (living on 221B Baker Street) and not easy to back down.
In the end: developers supporting the coin is
the best investment factor there is. We don't know what the altcoin future will bring. I do know there will be only 221 coins total! That's why the bounties seem low. They aren't. Almost 3 block rewards given away here!

Sherlock Holmes, as you may know is the best detective and genius of all time. As a tribute to the great works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and to the man himself, Mr Holmes. This coin is solely based on character of Sherlock Holmes and the ingenuity shown whilst solving mysteries, the same ingenuity can be seen in this coin. I am dedicating this coin to all the enthusiasts of Sherlock Holmes, I believe and have faith that this coin will make it through and will be a success, This will be something to hold on to and cherish. (Proof Read , Courtesy of Ratters)
As you probably know by now that the board get's spammed uncontrollably by ALT-Coins releases everyday , some might survive some might not I want SHC to be treasured not at all a pump and dump coin but a coin to cherish the name of Sherlock Holmes and for the enthusiasts to treasure it and if you want to spread it around.
LaunchThis is a fork of Litecoin and developed using foundations and guidance documented by beloved members here who have committed and pledged their support for cryptocurrencies mainly Bitcoin as well as Alt-coins , my salute is to all who strive to make Cryptocurrencies the future and the dedication of developers who work night and day to make that dream a success , this coin is not a competitor to Bitcoin nor other ALT coins but a strength to the world of Cryptocurrencies and my contribution thus stands and will always with the community , we should never forget the past , thus as they say if done will be void of a future , therefore my salute goes to Bitcoin , it's founders and developers and the community that stands by it and everyone on this forum , thereby paying my respect as we all know we should be thankful of Bitcoin without it we would never would have imagined or known about a world of Cryptocurrencies.
Salute! Please Note: This is NOT a paid up over the counter/website coin , that just popped out of a script on a website after making a Bitcoin Payment , I had to put my sweat , tears , dedication , sacrifice and time (lot's of it) , had to put 200% of my effort, trial and error , learning , failures to make this workout , this coin opened up a new chapter in my life , learning , as I've learned alot while making this , I kindly ask you to respect that while criticizing if you may require.
