Title: Howto: create a failed Bitcoin fork Post by: jackjack on September 04, 2011, 03:38:48 PM 1. Pre-mine coins
2. Be uber arrogant 3. Say you are way better at coding than the entire Bitcoin dev team 4. Say your new fork will kill Bitcoin because it fixes several Bitcoin bugs 5. Spread some good Bitcoin FUD Winrar so far:
Title: Re: Howto: create a failed Bitcoin fork Post by: SolidCoin on September 04, 2011, 03:43:04 PM Bitcoin is looking like a failed hashcash fork.
Title: Re: Howto: create a failed Bitcoin fork Post by: Bobnova on September 04, 2011, 03:45:10 PM Needs a ranking list.
Ixcoin or SC, which failed more? It's a tough call, Ixcoin failed from the start, while SC looked pretty promising for a while but got ground into said ground by the originators actions. Or is btc the largest fail because people think it works and will actually become a useful currency? Title: Re: Howto: create a failed Bitcoin fork Post by: jackjack on September 04, 2011, 03:46:40 PM Then create the thread "Howto: create a failed hashcash fork" in the Alternate cryptocurrencies subforum of hashcashtalk.org
Title: Re: Howto: create a failed Bitcoin fork Post by: caish5 on September 04, 2011, 03:47:44 PM I don't know whether any of you guys have noticed but the only thing that gives any of these cryptocurrencies ANY value is FAITH. Every silly argument on forums or IRC is reflected in the respective exchanges.
Bitcoin is a great idea. Solidcoin had some changes i enjoyed. How about a truce and a little bit of co operation? Title: Re: Howto: create a failed Bitcoin fork Post by: Noviz on September 04, 2011, 04:01:13 PM Got another one for you (I suppose it extends the arrogant one):
- Don't let a huge twat be the PR guy for your bitcoin fork Title: Re: Howto: create a failed Bitcoin fork Post by: ElectricMucus on September 04, 2011, 04:59:11 PM and most importantly
- change the license to your own proprietary one (this goes for any failed FOSS fork) Title: Re: Howto: create a failed Bitcoin fork Post by: rPman on September 04, 2011, 06:32:09 PM sooner bury, xcoin will do little more convulsions before death a few day (after 20055 block).
but solidcoin devs gracefully shoot yourself in the foot. Title: Re: Howto: create a failed Bitcoin fork Post by: Bobnova on September 04, 2011, 06:34:13 PM If the creator made a ton of (real) money, is it actually a failure?

Was the graceful part the trolling/taunting the users or the "license" terms he put into his latest release? lol Title: Re: Howto: create a failed Bitcoin fork Post by: greyhawk on September 04, 2011, 06:37:17 PM Title: Re: Howto: create a failed Bitcoin fork Post by: Synaptic on September 04, 2011, 07:30:53 PM Here's a good way:
1. Post new cryptocurrency idea 2. Tell miners and speculators they have no control of the currency 3. ???? 4. Obscurity. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=41059.0 Title: Re: Howto: create a failed Bitcoin fork Post by: EskimoBob on September 04, 2011, 08:18:01 PM After it fails, you can call it a asspenny and trade it for nothing in asspenny-exchange

The graceful part was provoking ArtForz into proving the chain had a flaw. :) Title: Re: Howto: create a failed Bitcoin fork Post by: MajorMiner on September 04, 2011, 10:48:54 PM 1. Pre-mine coins I just look forward to less Solidcoin astroturfing on the forums until the next pseudo currency scam captures everyone's attention.2. Be uber arrogant 3.

Huzzah! Title: Re: Howto: create a failed Bitcoin fork Post by: wolftaur on September 04, 2011, 10:49:51 PM I just look forward to less Solidcoin astroturfing on the forums until the next pseudo currency scam captures everyone's attention. Huzzah! I vote for calling it NuCoin. :) Title: Re: Howto: create a failed Bitcoin fork Post by: aq on September 05, 2011, 04:45:24 PM A. Create a bitcoin copycat fork, with just parameter altered - no need to use this, can just use Bitcoin itself. Fixed that for youNot helping either, but mostly irrelevant as long as (A) is met: 1. Pre-mine coins 2. Be uber arrogant 3. Say you are way better at coding than the entire Bitcoin dev team 4. Say your new fork will kill Bitcoin because it fixes several Bitcoin bugs 5.
