for the record - there is probably more feedback about Peercover over in the ripple forums

You can continue to post here, just thought I share the link with more action as well...
Thanks for the feedback everybody.

Dear JoelKatz,
I'm happily outing myself as a fan of yours. My English is by far not as good as yours, but your work is admirable. Keep up the good work. THANK YOU!

update: I received 0.0001 back after 10 hours. I think I have to read more about how this game is supposed to work first :-)

sent 500 xrp 12 minutes ago, no response yet - I think :-)
Not exactly sure what type of "response" to expect...

makes sense, thanks for explaning and thanks for helping to maintain a healthy culture of friendliness

This should be in the alternative cryptocurrencies board, but as a 'newbie' (after almost 2 years), I can only post here :-)
Cheers everybody.

Definitely, I can imagine RedCrossCoins, and religious coins. How about GPLCoins, where some (central) server keeps a list of projects, say derived from packages in Debian/Fedora, and issues coins to people by counting lines of code being committed... The non-developer users of GPLCoins accept the idea and use exchanges to get the currency.
Or even bigger - FreeCultureCoins, kind of like a global free culture flatrate. Same idea, central server counts downloads/viewer stats say on youtube or other sites, and issues coins for the uploaders. People that only consume need to buy FreeCultureCoins on exchanges. Shops accept payment in FreeCultureCoins because they like the idea.
You can also build taxation into the system, who knows. As much as some people here seem opposed to taxes, with the computers/network running the currency code, you can build all sorts of things right into it. Some successful churches are asking their followers to pay 10% of their income to the church, not more, not less. Or maybe bitcoin stays the one and only, because first-mover advantage etc. And because it's so pure has none of these things.

And no matter how many forks/clones/improvements appear, people will still trade them. They will all just show up on exchanges and then we will find out about valuation.

Interestingly, even though my client deducted the xfer, it still says 0/unconfirmed, and neither 125209 nor 125210 picked it up (0.01 fee included). oh well... I have only 5 connections maybe it takes some time to propagate. Good that someone else was faster.

Strange culture here. Why is the board 'cheap' if they don't send the trivial amount within 20 minutes (!). And why is someone 'begging' if he said that he wants to test his client and is asking for a trivial amount? Why does someone have to change his nick because of begging? Why does someone have enough time to write a xx words reply, but is too cheap (?) to instead send a trivial amount? How do we treat each other? Strange stuff...

Bitcoin's success depends 50% on technology, and 50% on the culture we create along with it. In fact after the technology is proven to be stable, it will mostly compete on the culture aspect with other decentralized digital currencies that will surely emerge. Imagine a religion picking it up - BuddhaCoin. If the Bitcoin culture is full of name calling, aggressiveness, distrust etc. then I'd rather go with the BuddhaCoins...

I just sent 0.10 Bitcoins along with this long reply that I only wrote because I don't like communities of people that don't trust each other (it hasn't been broadcast yet though). Let's give doobadoo the benefit of the doubt - have fun testing your client, and send a few bitcents to your friends as well...
