It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

It's still there.  There is absolutely nothing preventing anyone from making a newer and better Bitcoin.  If it provides clear advantages to Bitcoin, I will switch, just as I choose to use Bitcoin because I see clear advantages to it over Paypal and the like.  Dwolla is attempting to do the same, so all the power to them.

This "version" (so to speak) simply has the first-to-market advantage, which is becoming more and more important, though it's not an insurmountable obstacle.

Why *should* there be a "competitor" ?   Who/What is there to compete with ?

You have a better system that offers significant advantages over Bitcoin in mind ?

A well-thought-out tested, open-source system that has the thousands of man-years and terawatt/hours of the existing system behind it ?

Or are you just another "Damn, This thing is already big, and I missed out out on the opportunity to be an early adopter, wheres the <next big thing> / restart-a-coin ?" Newbie ?

I have one, but I'm hoarding all the beastcoins until they are all mine muhuhaha!

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.

There's namecoin.

Above is an article I wrote that explains why namecoin is important and what it is trying to solve.

Free market means people can act on their ideas without violent restriction, it doesn't spawn competitors by magic. I'd love to see something better, I'm not holding my breath.
