Title: New Coin Ideas - Add yours to the list - Get a dev team - What do you think?
Post by: fishy on June 14, 2013, 01:37:01 AM
New Coins?
I have a couple of ideas for new coins that won't be the same pump-and-dump copy and paste stuff we've been seeing for the past couple of months.  What I need to figure out is how to implement the coin/gem/bar/dollar/currency's features into itself.

- The "Duck" (abbreviation DUK)
Everybody starts with two ducks in their "farm" or wallet.  You can breed two of them for say, two weeks, and then you will get 0.1 duck.  As you hold the "duck" currency, you get 0.001% "interest" because the duck "grows."  Once, how about 10 million, ducks are created, then you cannot breed anymore ducks.  No more spending money on expensive hardware to mine or wasting electricity.  Anybody can breed ducks!
Advantages:
-No expensive hardware
-Everyone can "mine" (breed) equally
-No wasting electricity
Disadvantages:
-The fact that it is easy to mine/breed may make it practically worthless.
-There are more but I can't think of any right now  :)

- AntimatterCoin (abbreviation ANM?)
A cryptocoin backed by other cryptocurrencies.  (If you choose to back it by 0.1 BTC, it will be worth 01 BTC.  As more people back it its value will rise)
Advantages:
-Fosters sharing
-Increases in value easily
Disadvantages:
-Hard to implement

- CPUCoin (abbreviation CPU)
Like scrypt except GPU, FPGA, and ASIC resistant.
Advantages:
-Anybody can mine!
Disadvantages:
-Lots of electricity?

Some suggestions.  If you have any ideas post below and I will add it to the list.
If you would like to put together a dev team PM me!

- ForumCoin (abbreviation FMC)
Like Devcoin, except 10% goes to miners and 90% to this forum.

Advantages:
-The Forum gets money

Definitely not needed. The forum has like 5000 BTC that they had to divide up to be held by several trusted folks for safekeeping.

Antimatter is under development, thank you for your interest. But for now release is on hiatus due to another influx of scam coins and re-animation of dead coins, some are on the fourth try at pump and dump. Any ideas (constructive ) are encouraged and may be directed at the original thread. In the mean time developer(s) (i got a few guys to help) are working on some small issues.
