Do we really need a guide for creating an alt coin? I mean we're getting snowed under with a new alt coin clone being released every day / week with zero innovation. If a "developer" needs to be reading this guide to figure out how to make an alt coin, what the chances of it not being a simply clone of something else? Pretty much zero.
Should we really be encouraging this and making it more accessible? Doesn't hurt anybody.

Does github have any statistics showing which github-hosted projects are the most forked?
I'm curious how Bitcoin compares!

Robert, thank you greatly for providing this service.
By all means, prioritize on getting some sleep. You can't decide what the right course of action is if your brain is so tired it's effectively switched off! Take care of yourself, first and foremost!

For now on every time you see CHNCoin you will think "ChickenCoin" instead of Chinacoin.
Your welcome.
Thank you!

It's because everybody kept saying "Arise, chickun." They thought they were encouraging Litecoin; instead, they accidentally summoned Feathercoin!

Almost all current cryptos have very long confirmation times (block generation) which really make them almost useless in a real world (over the counter) transaction. Imagine going to a 7/11 and buying a drink and then asking the staff to wait for 10 minutes confirmation (or 2.5 min in the case of LTC) . But this objection has been answered a long time ago, for Bitcoin. With an active network, there is no need to wait 10 minutes or an hour for a small purchase. This is a problem that does not exist. Just shortening the block generation time is really no solution as it just leads to a much larger blockchain. Also, the lower difficulty means you need more blocks to get an equivalent level of confirmation, so I'm not convinced it really buys you anything. i.e., if a blockchain targets 5 minute blocks on average and is identical to Bitcoin in all other respects, I believe you would need 12 blocks to reach an equivalent level of confirmation as 6 blocks on the Bitcoin blockchain.

I remain long term bullish on BTE.

If it is a new auction??? 300 BBQ
Yes, it is. It is the last auction, and you are in the lead. I notice somebody else has picked up the torch of running an identical/similar auction to this one, so it looks like you'll still have a place to go after 00:00:00 today. Good luck!

A new coin that has:
One-second transactions Dynamic difficulty (readjusts every block) A way to reclaim lost coins (No transactions for 365 days, coins start to trickle out of your account back into blocks at a slow rate) sCrypt
Release it, and let's see what happens.

Speculating is merely buying an asset to see if you can pass it on at a higher price to another person later as part of a general rise in the assets price, from this comes bubbles and false price signals that lead to malinvestment. On the contrary, those signals do not come from speculating. They come from regulation, which distorts the economy.

even at 1 cent each that is 100,000 dollars. What coins are actually going for 1 cent each? Let me tell you I held onto a lot of Terracoin that was only worth a half cent each for a long time....
