Hello!
Just letting everyone know that I have decided to start collecting Tenebrix dead coins.

You can find out some details and/or post your offer here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=101397.msg1110017#msg1110017

And if you feel like a big, generous man, you can just send your TBX here:
tHPSAPTRyAMypEGVosvG4Bz68TPdW3unSj

Well, that settles it - I'm collecting TBX since there is about 678 000 in existence (not counting Lolcust's laundry fund. I've PMed him with a fairly generous offer, but gut feeling tells me he won't budge...)

Even if Lolcust refuses to sell me anything, I'll be the second largest holder which is ok by me.


So,for now, I am collecting TBX. Decided. If you just wanna give away TBX, send them here:
tHPSAPTRyAMypEGVosvG4Bz68TPdW3unSj

If you want to trade them, post your offer.

Any offers? Anyone got TBX ?

Well, since it's a vanity thing, the point of the exercise is becoming the girl who owns the majority of a given dead chain's existing coins.

It can be achieved by mining a dead chain for half a year or so, or by buying out a large chunk of what the dead coin's first adopters have.

Second option is faster (also, nothing keeps me from combining the two, but mining a dead coin for an extended period of time does not seem like an attractive idea)


I haven't yet chosen which coin to collect.

I am currently considering TBX and BBQ, however, I might say that 0.5 BTC for 25000 BBQCs is rich. I might co(i)nsider   buying 50 000 dead coins at 0.005-0.5 (depending on which coin I chose) and,  to be very very honest, I'd say BBQcoins would be in the 0.0x department. No offense intended   )

P.S.:
Anyone knows where Lolcust is?

If I choose TBX, I want to try convincing him to sell me the laundry fund

Well, it seems to me some people just forgot to pull the plug

Anyway, worst come to worst I have a byte of hashrate of my own to put on a dead coin for long enough for me to get the salvage.

So, not a big issue.


Hmmm indeed.

GG and TBX don't seem to be traded there, so... they must be the deadest!   Guess I'll start with one of those two...


Which one? Hm, decisions decisions...

So, how about some more info on how your implementation of proof-of-stake works ? Any juicy techy bits ?

Come on guys, making people learn your mechanics from code is just mean 

Well, in no particular order:

Liquidcoin
Ixcoin
i0coin
GeistGeld
Coiledcoin
Tenebrix
BBQCoin
Solidcoin

all are functionally dead.

I have not chosen which of them will be first in my memorial, and am thus open to your suggestions.

[Edit]
P.S.:
Upon some thought, some kind of residual hashing has to take place in a dead coin for me to buy it.

I could supply a bit of hashrate to some of them just to get a purchase, while others have hashrates of their own despite death (i0coin and ixcoin are "undead coins" LOL)

I'll see which coins are easy enough to work with in this regard (i0 and ix seem attractive as far as hashrate is concerned), but that's far from only factor determining the decision.

So, which coin should I buy?

I'm making a kind of coin graveyard. It's a vanity thing (hey, I own all of them useless dead make-believe things!). So, I'm gonna buy up as much as I can of some dead chain (haven't yet chosen which, so advice is welcome  ) and make some silly "here lies insertname failed alt-chain" (I wonder if I can sneak that into gonetoosoon, at least for the time being lol)

Of course, the amount of bitcoins I intend to cough up for deal alt-chain coins will be tiny (I am not mad enough to pay anything remotely approaching considerable money for silly cryptographic memorabilia), but hey, if you have dead coins I want, you can get something (however tiny) for nothing, or stay with nothing.

I'd appreciate if mods moved this to alt-coin forum and gave me permission to post there, but will stay and pickle here in the newb forum for the required amount of time if that's how the music goes...
