Title: This is the type of Coin We Need.
Post by: Joshuar on March 17, 2014, 01:45:34 PM
I'm tired of all these crappy, cloned alt coins.

We need a coin:

1) That is fully anonymous

2) Is PoS with very low transaction times(to rival even credit card companies)

3) A realistic max coin supply like (800million) or even an indefinite coin supply

4) A bank component aspect to the coin, where you recieve interest on your coins.

5) A coin with a GOOD NAME, a name that can be adopted by many, not shit names like "Gangstercoin" or "GucciCoin" please.

6) A coin that can be divided into user friendly layers. For EX: I make a coin called JoshuaCoin, JoshuaCoin is worth 1 dollar, while JoshuaCoin is the official name for entirely 1 JoshuaCoin, there are other names for percentages of 1 JoshuaCoin, aka half a Joshua Coin or 50 cents worth of Joshua Coin is called a Joshu, 25 cents is called a Josh, etc etc. Something similar to that.
6) Open to Suggestions.

I think we don't need any other coin ;)
Only if it's really really different....
You can choose 175 currencies on coinmarketcap ;)

My best choice:
- bitcoin

I think this market caps getting bigger:
- cryptogenic bullion
- app-coin
- fedoracoin / tips
- dogecoin

why is interest needed? if the coin goes up in value it will have the same effect as interest, without requiring the extra step of making regular interest calculations and deposits

Yeah, we just hope to hear that kind of coin's announcement one day, there are plenty of alt coins you can still trust upon  :)


Btw OP the 4 point is almost impossible to adopt by any new coin system but that can be neglected.  ;)

app-coin, maybe
fedoracoin will not succeed
dogecoin will not succeed
Bitcoin is the most used coin so far simply because it's the first successfully cryptocurrency, but surely, you realize it has many flaws, very long transaction times(what commercial retailer would wait 40 minutes to make sure you sent them Bitcoin in exchange for a good? None), and the market cap of only 21 million coins has made us come up with unpopular percentages of Bitcoin, such as .0001, millibit etc etc. Most people want a coin that can be divided up, but not to the ridiculous extent Bitcoin is.
