Title: Dcoin? What is it?
Post by: alani123 on February 26, 2015, 09:06:54 PM
Honest question here, I was just wondering if anyone has heard about it...

I came across this post through reddit

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9111457

So someone's is working on this for 3.5 years? According to this, It's not new... But is it worth it?

I decided to attach each node to a person. Everyone who wants to become a miner shall make a video of his or her face and take a photo. Validation includes comparison of photo and video in order to make sure that it’s the same face. Video is only required, because it is almost impossible to forge, unlike photo.

Democratic coin (Dcoin or DC) is a decentralized electronic currency introduced in April 2014. Dcoin doesn’t have any central servers to process transactions or store funds.
Dcoin is not a bitcoin fork, since the Dcoin engine was written from scratch and features unique solutions that weren’t used in any other e-currency.
Dcoin development began in May 2011 by the programmer from St. Petersburg.

I've read some of of the information available, it's confusing, maybe when I have more time I'll take another look.

It looks nice. We should invite the dev to this forum.
