Title: Skycoin Client at www.skycoins.com
Post by: Skybuck on November 25, 2011, 06:13:58 AM
Hello,

Bitcoins sounds kinda bad, like badcoins.

Therefore I think it's a much better idea to make it sounds more friendly, and the sky is always friendly.

Therefore I am going to make a bitcoin compatible client.

It will be called Skycoin.

And it will soon be hosted here:

www.skycoins.com

(Unfortunately later I discovered skycoin.com was already taken but wtf, I'll just go through with it anyway, since I already payed for the domain lol)

At first it will be exactly the same as bitcoin client, but then over time improvements will be added which I would like to see myself, like more insight and such.

Like a somewhat more intelligent client.

If you think this is a good idea and you want to help out and perhaps even get payed for it on the long run then here is what you can already do:

1. Design a nice Skycoin logo. For example a golden coin with an S inside of it, or perhaps a blue coin with a golden S inside of it ! ;) :)

2. Make a nice little website for Skycoin, with nice graphics.

3. If necessary I could also host a webforum for it, and you could be a webforum admin to keep things in order.

4. Make a donation to:

"Skycoin Development Donations" at bitcoin address:

Then I can use these funds to pay people to help extend it.

Bye,
  Skybuck.

Lol,

I just realized something, maybe it's the coin "in skycoin" which still sounds silly.

Maybe I should just call it Skybuck ! LOL.

I always wanted something like this ! LOL.

Maybe I should therefore try both and see which one catches on ! LOL.

If I do decide to try skybuck as well then it will be here: www.skybuck.org

Maybe even skybuck sounds silly, maybe it should have been skydollar or skydollars.

But those domain names already taken, so skybuck will have to do.

But Skybuck it's my fricking nickname lol, I would like to keep it like that lol.

So I will stick to Skycoin ! hihihihi.

But "Hey you want some skybucks" does sound kinda nice.

Or he... "pay me some skybucks and we got a deal !" ;) :)

Hmm :)

Maybe buck sounds to american... maybe foreigners who might be anti american might not like that... though dollars could be populair outside of usa too.

However when the dollar also known as a buck crashes, then I don't want it to infect me :):):)

So maybe it's better not to associate it with a buck ;) :)

This sounds completely unnecessary.  There are far too many useful projects being developed to put time into one that is literally only different in name.  At least you aren't making a fork of the chain, but I'm actually not sure if that makes your client any better.

Perhaps I add some nice features to it in the future ;) :)
