Title: Re: Eurocoins lets make a new fork Post by: Raoul Duke on August 17, 2011, 04:42:23 PM 4) remove the 21 000 000 limit so there can be a unlimited number of coins The 21million limit is only imposed by the rewards distribution over time, so, if point 2) is satisfied it will automatically satisfy point 4) ;) Title: Re: Eurocoins lets make a new fork Post by: dree12 on August 17, 2011, 05:35:10 PM 4) remove the 21 000 000 limit so there can be a unlimited number of coins The 21million limit is only imposed by the rewards distribution over time, so, if point 2) is satisfied it will automatically satisfy point 4) ;) Title: Re: Eurocoins lets make a new fork Post by: Raoul Duke on August 17, 2011, 05:43:11 PM Not actually true. The code assumes 21 million in many places, not literally that I know of, but this limitation plagued IxCoin in that it would crash in 2015. A second limitation is bitcoin networking can only handle 64-bit integers, so this idea would break in 2.1 trillion years. Wishful thinking, I know :). The code assumes 21 million as the maximum number of coins in a single transaction, not as maximum number of coins. Or at least that was what the developers said in some other thread. Maybe one of them will chime in to aknowledge it. Title: Re: Eurocoins lets make a new fork Post by: dree12 on August 17, 2011, 07:17:11 PM Not actually true.

Wishful thinking, I know :). 64-bit means that the maximum possible integer that can be represented is 2^64 right? Title: Re: Eurocoins lets make a new fork Post by: TripHammer on August 17, 2011, 11:41:54 PM does that mean someone has to come up with a USBTC so that the eurocoin has something to follow...

Title: Re: Eurocoins lets make a new fork Post by: dayfall on August 18, 2011, 10:03:10 PM Here is an idea, don't have any decimal places less than 1. Give 10000 ...uh.. Forevercoins per block.
And for the love of all that is holy, DON'T start at difficulty 1. Title: Re: Eurocoins lets make a new fork Post by: joulesbeef on August 18, 2011, 10:09:23 PM list of things to be change from the bitcoin design 1) remove the 8 decimal thing and leave only 2 2) pay 1 coin per block instead of 50 and the reward should remain 1 until the end of time 3) get 10 block per hour 4) remove the 21 000 000 limit so there can be a unlimited number of coins what???? and what happens if they shoot up to 1000 per coin.. everyone has to sell in ten dollar increments? and I guess fees cant be less than 1% liek they are on bitparking. 1 coin per block? and 10 total coins per hour mined? ... soooooooooooo 87,600 coins mined a year.. a year???.. 240 coins a day.. wow you really dont want any exchanges to have any volume for a long long long long long time. Title: Re: Eurocoins lets make a new fork Post by: joulesbeef on August 18, 2011, 10:34:57 PM doubt bitcoin will last 1000 before being replaced.
coins get lost..but will slow down after value rises. Interesting ideas but mining and growth seem a bit slow. Title: Re: Eurocoins lets make a new fork Post by: dree12 on August 18, 2011, 10:36:34 PM 21 million = 21 trillion is millions 6x0 milliard 9x0 billions 12x0 trillions 15x0 Title: Re: Eurocoins lets make a new fork Post by: Crs on August 18, 2011, 10:58:09 PM oh no, not another wannabe chain...
Title: Re: Eurocoins lets make a new fork Post by: jackjack on August 19, 2011, 12:00:26 AM Brilliant! Wannabecoin
