I think Namecoin makes a better bronze than Yacoin..  Yacoin could be coal maybe.

Namecoin? You mean cryptocoin still using the same outdated stuff Bitcoin is using, like 10 minutes blocks, retarget few times in lifetime, no way to artificially retarget down in the
case of too long blocks and not enough hashpower, used to purchase .bit domains no one really cares about and merge-mined with Bitcoin to stay alive? There is more value in most
recently launched scamcoins and crapcoins than Namecoin but it takes to stop being blinded by bullshits "those in the know" are posting and saying to realise that.

There are old and new members of the cryptocoin world, and it is inevitable old ones will become obsolete at some point. Bitcoin is already outdated. Once it is replaced by some up
to date cryptocoin, Namecoin will perish without many actualy noticing.

namecoin is the only real altcoin, the oldest altcoin(?), it actually does something, imo value = 1:1 to bitcoin :).. the possibilities of it are endless.
no other altcoin has given anything as valueable as nmc.... imo :)

Didn't namecoin fix their difficulty adjustment system as well as going to merged mining?

I know the difficulty system GRouPcoin and DeVCoin adopted around that time came from somewhere, if not from NaMeCoin then where, I wonder?

Namecoin actually does something. Browsers will eventually be able to browse .bit

Namecoin is so much more than just a DNS too.  That's the tip of the iceberg.

OK, if FeatherCoin actually has a real material in it's name, why did you make it look like wood?

I really hope some coin will replace bitcoin. Don't care which one or if I hold it or not but any coin with fastest transactions. I'm sick of waiting hour to transfer bitcoins, can't count how many times I lost some opportunity waiting for them.

Get GeistGeld. 15 second blocks and you can mine it with the same hashes that are also mining bitcoins, because it is merged mine-able.

So no need to replace bitcoin, bitcoin can still do the high value and store of value stuff, with GeistGeld as its accompanying fast small-change coin.

Most players don't bother with blockchains directly, so you'd send it to their character care of some particular game, or to their "wallet" or "account" at some particular "bank" or "website" or whatever.

As more and more blockchains get spawned it becomes more and more apparent that the masses aren't going to touch blockchains directly.

On the bright side though, the Open Transactions app for iPhone is looking pretty good, saw some screenshots today...
