Please don't mix solidcoin (aka scamcoin) with other currencies

Scamcoin has NOTHING to do with others, it's just scamcoin.

Solidcoin is different, it's centralized and few nodes can do what the fuck they want. And they are already happily messing with it.

ScamCoin has centralized control (think Paypal) although it is based on Bitcoin code (pirated until recently) that fundamental difference makes it more like e-gold than a decentralized currency.

And who is controlling the Scamcoins?

And who is controlling the Scamcoins?

His Lordship, King RealScam = aka RealSolid.  The same person who premined 12M coins and has a 5% tax on each block sent to his personal wallet.

That is a scam. Then he could trade those for bitcoins and profit from them

He premined 12M of scamcoins.

Now he changed the block reward to 0.7 scamcoins per block. So you mine, find a block and receive 0.7 scamcoins. Meanwhile he has 12 millions.

So much fail

Correction it is 0.07 not 0.7. Since difficulty has declined it has fallen to 0.0502 SC per block. If someone solo-mined 100% of the blocks it would be ~$1.30 per day. :)

Litecoin is easy and more profitable to mine with cheap/average hardware.  Namecoin seems the best to merge mine for while mining with Bitcoin for free.

I use LTC on about 30 machines with shite GPU, works well for me!

At least the ScamCoin license is better than the SolidCoin one.
