Title: This coin rain will stop by itself
Post by: jackjack on May 13, 2013, 06:42:40 AM
Assuming coin cloners continue to use 'coin' at the end of their coins and that we use 3 letters to designate them, there are only 676 symbol possibilities
At the current rate coin cloners will be doomed in less than a year

And Cash, like CZech Bitcash (CZB)

And Scrip, like General Mining Corp scrip (GMC), General Retirement Funds scrip (GRF) and United Nations Scrip (UNS).

Crypto-currency world needs to be able to survive this kind of behaviour. Otherwise, there is not future for this tech. Thankfully, the 'network effect' is already showing its strength. I have no fear.

I don't want to rain on the parade but each of the 3 positions can have one letter and the same letters can be repeated.

Hence, we have 26 * 26 * 26 combinations = 17,576

If 2 new coins are released daily, that means we won't run out of coinspace for 24 years.  By then, engineers on the exchanges may have figured out how to have 4 letter coins

That's true if there are on LLL, you can have LLN, LNL, NLL, LNN, NNL, NLN and NNN.

MC2 is an example.

L= Letter N=Number

If you add digits, 36^3 = 46656 :)

Well well, look who it is...heh
Cloners have more than enough possible combinations, especially since many of the names have little thought behind them.

Those crapcoins should stop trashing the market.
