.... Will be the first one that isn't exchangeable?
Seems like It's the trading for $€¥£ that's the problem here..
Wouldn't a coin that can only be a)mined and b)exchanged for goods/services, be much less volatile and susceptible to manipulation?

In order to get the maximum amount of activity points possible, you just need to post once per day on average. Skipping days is OK as long as you maintain the average.

You could setup a system like ebay and only this cryto is used as payment also the only way to get this cryto is to sell something.
So you sell something and get 10 coins then you spend the 10 coins on something in the market, but then this limits you choice and what you can buy.
also you cannot withdraw this coin from the site so this makes it centralized, limited and vulnerable this does not sound very wise.

Bitcoin will show the world what hard money really is.

I don't think you can ever make a coin that will see the difference between a product and another currency. Good idea, but not possible to make.

you might as well figure out how to divide by 0, or maybe the slightly harder traveling backwards in time (if you figure that one out, DO tell us.)

so it would succeed because it is worthless? |

Actually that isn't that far from the point. It being exchangeable isn't the issue here - that it's value is derived by the amount of cash put into it is. The currency must be representative of something valuable, namecoin goes in the right direction, but the concept can be extended much, much further. There are even discussions of how the mining network itself providing something of fundamental value. The pinnacle would be that the secret needed to spend the coins to represent fundamentally valuable information.  |

so it would succeed because it is worthless? Not worthless (it is still decentralised, universal and anonymous) , it would just have it's own 'exclusive' value rather than being constantly measured against the $ or the £ Like others have said it's probably near to impossible, but still worth thinking about.. |

Cryptocurrency is about freedom. Freedom to exchange it for fiat too |

A burger costs $2
If the restaurant accepts 5 Xcoins in exchange for the burger doesn't that make each coin worth 40 cents each?

A burger only costs 2$ without daily inflation* And that assumes, also, that the coins in question are even backed by USD. |
