Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

well.. now we could debate that for hours i fear Wink

Either way, crappy clones are crappy clones... that's quite different than a scam. They are most likely non-viable in the long term and offer, technologically speaking, no innovation whatsoever.. but that's doesn't qualify as a scam, no until they come laced with Trojans or wallet drainers.

They are toys that people who are willing to risk a few hours of mining at the very beginning may enjoy for a quick profit. that's all. They don't hurt anybody who doesn't hurt himself on the way.

I agree! Crappy clones are crappy clones.
On the other hand add a devoted Development team that produce things that work from the off and then continue with their support and people will start believing & seeing for themselves that there are a hell of a lot of Crappyclones out there.
As with everything, only time will tell.

You mean it should be created first, mined only by a small group for some years, then be widely announced? Hmm..what coin could that be?
