i have an idea for how you could set yourself apart that may actually be a legitimately useful innovation. instead of relying on one algo for proof of work use a bunch of them. 10 20 maybe even 30 different algorithms. This would almost entirely eliminate the idea of any sort of specialized hardware like asics being developed which would cause this coin to be radically decentralized even compared to bitcoin. You could simply cycle through the list 1 at a time and when you get to the end start back at the beginning.

The BTC are sent....I feel Like the foundations first Donor!!!! see PM

Current Computer Science student here. I don't have much to show in the way of public projects, but have done some systems programming in C as well as a good bit of Java, PHP, Python, JavaScript, etc. I can't say I've actually done much with the Bitcoin codebase other than looking over the code a few times.

Other than that, CryptoJunky.com is a compilation of my exploration into CryptoCurrencies. If the development team gets a bit overcrowded, I'd be happy to build a foundation website/forum/etc.

However, I think it's possible to reduce dust and unspendable outputs without reducing divisibility. I think you could still have divisibility to 8 digits (or thereabouts) but then enforce a rule that a transaction can't have outputs smaller than .0001 (or thereabouts).

Just throwing 0.02 worth of thoughts in as its already over my head:

Merged mining gives access to the worlds most powerful security system and it seems foolish not to use it. (voted)

Not sure if multiple hashing methods could work but it would allow seamless switching to different systems should a problem show up with ASIC's.

Bitcoin is a commodity in its own right and it would make sense to use it as backing for alt curencies, ie. putting 1 BTC into the alt currency creates 1000 alt coins to be used with that system and they can be turned back into BTC at any time (removing them from the alt currency).

Speed is vital, point of sale transactions are the missing link atm.

Should we make it impossible to mine with CPU's?

I don't like the idea of mining for the sake of mining.
1. It CPU wastes energy as they're immediately outdated with alt coins when they're released..
2.It also make's it harder to mine,for those who want to mine with a single modest GPU,without investing thousands on quickly outdated hardware.

Within a year or so, ASICs will be released.
 After a short while it will be cheaper to invest and mine with a modest ASIC than a modest GPU.

Make it have limited number of coins, but make it a high number, even higher compared of Litecoin's limit, this way transaction fees wouldn't cost much in theory.
Bitcoin's deflation is a kind of problem to be world accepted, Bitcoin is getting more a store of value and less useful for small transactions.

Calm down. It was one pm that should have been resolved instantly, it really was not a big task. This further supports how unfit you are to be a mod if you cannot handle ONE simple request. YOU chose to make it difficult.

@GoldenAngel
And what about the feelings of the people who you try to cheat with your other accounts like "Peter.z"?
How many accounts you have opened else to cheat other people? 5? 10?
I think it's time, the admin start to delete all your accounts, bevor you can cheat more people!
