Title: Altcoin pegged to USD. Is it possible?
Post by: virtualfaqs on July 03, 2013, 06:04:20 PM
Here is what I'm thinking. It's difficult to trade altcoin because of price volatility. Is there was a way to peg the altcoin price to the USD? Using a real time-system that instantly adjusts your number of coins based on altcoin's supply and demand to the USD. Could a system be designed to do this without a governing body of people? That means your coin numbers could grow and shrink as soon as your paper wallet reconnects to the system.

The problem would be mining. You can't create USD out if thin air.

Yep! You should try to agree with the FED about merged mining :).

Hahaha I did realise that, but I meant it isn't feasable for a coin.

May I propose NSACoin, pegged to USD, instead of mining you simply outsource PRISM? :P
