Title: [sarcasm] Solving the pressing problems of our times by launching alt coins
Post by: Peter R on November 15, 2013, 05:46:13 AM
In the spirit voluntarism, I propose we solve the pressing problems in crypto-currencies (black-lists, taint, fungibility, inflation, etc) by simply launching multiple alt coins and see which one wins.  Below are some ideas just to get the ball rolling. Feel free to contribute!


FBI-coin / taint-coin:

With this coin, you get to help the FBI solve crimes!!  You'll never forget your first "visit."


Fed-coin:

This coin is great because the wise people in control can increase the supply whenever they want.  We will all have so many!


ECB-coin:

With this coin, you wake up one morning and 20% are missing.  


NSA-coin:

Every NSA coin comes with its own virus that hands over control to one of your webcams or microphones!


Microsoft coin:

This coin hardly works and people still buy it.

This has been done so much so that there is a lack of suitable names to name the coins as they are flooding every corner of the digital coins marketplace.

I see that I forgot my [sarcasm][/sarcasm] tags!

It took me an embarrassingly-long time to get that joke.  But it's a much better name for the NSA-coin--very stealth :)

Funny.

But I do wish someone would launch a coin that respects privacy such as a coin that uses libzerocoin, or a coin with coinjoin built in.

I could be wrong, but I think they would become popular, especially if they could be merge-mined.  And hopefully spur the bitcoin devs into making private transactions and fungibility top priority as well.

Bitcoin -- a cesspit of criminal minds that are terrified of two things: 1) government shutting them down, 2) any attempt to create alt-coins that risks diluting their deflationary profits. Would you like to make an altcoin? Just follow this guideline:
first you will be ignored.
then you will be laughed at.
then shitloads of criminal behaviour will happen to try and take out your threat.
then Bitcoin wins.

Did I get the humour right? ;D
