Title: What are people thinking? Post by: Rothgar on September 26, 2012, 07:05:05 PM I don't think people understand the actual brilliance of the problem Satoshi solved. People are coming up with other ideas all the time. They don't see the issues with their "new" idea and show complete ignorance of why the idea won't work.
Bitcoin, namecoin, and litecoin, which all use the ledger solution of Satoshi, have had some success. Other designs don't seem to know why the ledger is needed. The next issue is the bootstrapping problem. This is also non-trivial. There are a lot of people who enjoy wasting time around here. Title: Re: What are people thinking?

R u going to stop the progress? :) It's the nature of the humankind - try everything to reach obscure (maybe non-existant) goal. Title: Re: What are people thinking?

R u going to stop the progress? :) It's the nature of the humankind - try everything to reach obscure (maybe non-existant) goal. But they're not good ideas, or even new ideas. Title: Re: What are people thinking? Post by: Come-from-Beyond on September 26, 2012, 07:46:23 PM But they're not good ideas, or even new ideas. Who said that? Is that person competent enough? Quality of an idea can be assessed only by practice.Title: Re: What are people thinking? Post by: Etlase2 on September 26, 2012, 07:48:38 PM Feel free to critique the proposal in my sig.
