okay sure and itscool but what is the point of a new coin? You can use any one existing for this.
We've been asked that a lot and it's pretty simple: VIZR is going to be an absolutely integral part of the experience of Vizor.io. We intend for everyone on the site to have some of this coin. We also want to be able to reward and incentivize certain behaviors, which means we need to be able to give quite a bit of it away at various times... In addition, it should be said that this is a true "appcoin". We suppose (and in a way, hope) that only a fraction of our users will already be familiar with crypto-currency. They shouldn't need to know much about it to use it. This kind of abstraction is also hard to do with a coin (especially a meta-coin) that we don't issue ourselves. Does that make sense, more or less? yes thanks! |

So you make a V.R. coin and a tool for making V.R. together? Interesting! So if i understan, the coin will be used in your tool to buy something like parts. Example, I could buy parts to create a building, windows doors etc. But your idea also means that same V.R. coin can be used in the V.R. itself right? So if i make a store in that building i can accept the same V.R. coin? It is really crazy.  I like it. Heh, you hit it square on the head! If you're familiar with something like Second Life and Linden Dollars (L$), it's a somewhat similar idea. But there's one major difference: Vizor is not about making one big "metaverse". While it will be possible to interconnect them, each one of Vizor's "experiences" can have a totally different interaction paradigm (or none at all). On the other hand, the VIZR the token gives the whole platform a unified way of staying economically connected. I hope that makes sense! okay sure and itscool but what is the point of a new coin?

Hello everyone:
I have watched with some amazement the development of the Bitcoin project, especially admiring its technical properties and achievements. A rather off-topic side-project has recently popped into my head, which I would now like to publicly propose. It seems that, all cryptographic currency properties aside, the most interesting development of the entire project is the blockchain itself, and its distributed (and distributed-verified) database system. What has been considered about its application in other areas? The strong censorship resistance of the distributed blockchain model seems ideal in some ways for distribution of "forbidden" sites and data. As the subject implies, The Pirate Bay seems like a viable candidate for such a mechanism, if only as a proof of concept.
So to the Bitcoin technical team, and anyone interested, I ask the following questions:
1: Is it first of all conceivable for a presently dynamic web site like The Pirate Bay, to be created as a desktop app, and to have its entire database distributed and verified across thousands of computers, blockchain style?
2: What metadata could and should be reasonably and sensibly added to the blockchain, keeping in mind that with each torrent on The Pirate Bay you have: magnet link, description, comments, possibly an image, some user id, a time stamp and possibly more.
3: Could dynamic updating of content work in the same way? For example if someone wanted to add a torrent to the pool, how, in the blockchain style, might it be able to be flagged as good or bad?
4: As an addition to the above question, what could be done to dilute pollution to the blockchain (and its subsequent bloating in size), by parties interested in destroying the project?
5: What components that are currently a part of the main Bitcoin client and protocol that would absolutely not be necessary for this? I presume that various things about the transactions are unnecessary, but perhaps for the security of the network the need only be re-purposed?
Thank you very much for your time!
