Yes, exactly! Any block explorer will allow you to also browse the confessions, but the site consolidates and adds value to those created through it.

Also a good suggestion, but we are standing by our own blockchain, as we believe in true decentralization.

We appreciate the comment, but we've also thought about the algorithm quite a bit, and the decision to choose one over the other is not a technical problem --we actually want to use Scrypt for this coin (!) and are welcoming all miners (CPU/GPU/ASIC).  We think it provides the best security for the network at this time.

We are not excluding community input though, so we are open to discussions, but at least at the time of launch, this is the vision that we've set out to achieve.

PM sent, thanks!

Good question.  The system was designed for self moderation since the site requires a penance (payment of ConfessionCoins) for the confessions to be entered.  As far as specific content displayed on the main site goes, we may also filter out things that we find abusively inappropriate.

I like the idea, but with the current PoW trains of thought/implementations, it's perhaps not feasible.  Anyone with access to more computing hardware will have more than 1 stake, so to speak.  Truly fair distribution is a sort of holy grail, is it not?  We are ok with letting the market dictate the distribution.  We have faith in you!

We will do our best to conduct fair giveaways on community forums (not here) and will update the OP accordingly.

"The sacrament of penance is considered the normal way to be absolved from mortal sins which, it is believed, would otherwise condemn a person to Hell."

BTW, the dev team is largely agnostic, but the Catholic Church unfortunately set the precedence for this type of situation.  It's perhaps out of our hands

Confess your secrets on http://confessioncoin.com.  After entering a sin, you are issued a random penance / penalty that must be paid in ConfessionCoin (between 1 - 5 CFN).  When that penance has been detected on the blockchain, our system will issue a new transaction that stores your confession in the Blockchain, and it will appear on confessioncoin.com openly for all to read, like, or tip.  Others can search or browse all confessions and choose to reward forgiveness in the form of ConfessionCoin tips, or just lurk from the shadows ;-)
