1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] eMunie (EMU) - NOT a BitCoin fork/clone - call for beta testers on: April 16, 2014, 01:15:55 PM
Quixotic.  That's my impression of emunie.

I met Fuserleer at the NY bitcoin conference.  I didn't get a scammer vibe.  He struck me as sincere, smart, but naive about how much he was biting off.   He claims his one-man written crypto currency will solve near every fundamental economic problem and technical limitation of modern crypto currencies with one stroke.  Such a claim strains credulity to say the least.

The explanations for exactly how emunie will do even just a few slices of what is claimed that are posted on the emunie forum are so high level as to be hardly illuminating.  The complexities of what solutions are outlined remind me of a Rube Goldberg machine constructed by applying basic physics principles innocently thinking the machine should just work.  Solutions create more problems and failure points than they address.  Countless potential objections are overlooked.  Arbitrary assumptions are employed liberally. 

I do appreciate the fresh approach and calling out of various fundamental flaws in bitcoin.  However tackling even just a few of them seriously would require a big tent, open source effort engaging the experience and brains of the entire crypto-currency community.  It would take time with numerous evolutionary steps.

With emunie, noble aims do not a viable solution make.
