TestCoin, CoinCoin & JokeCoin

[FinShaggy]

Would anyone else be interested in working on these projects with me?

TestCoin: A coin so easy to mine, it can teach anyone how to use mining software, while making them feel like they are getting tons of coins (like 100,000 coins released per block or something). Also meant to be given away freely, to get people interested in Coins.

CoinCoin: A Coin that should never be exchanged for USD. A coin meant to be used to get coins with.

JokeCoin: A Coin that is so hard to mine, that no one will want to do it.

All of these already exist under various names.

[FinShaggy]

I also have an idea for a 4th coin that would tie coins to human life in a way that would make mining a regular everyday occupation. Like people that don't understand computers would even start wanting to mine.

What are they? And They should exists under these names, so that they are easier to find and understand.

Devcoin. Since it's merge-mined with BTC it takes no real effort to get, and you get several million per block.

CoinCoin: A Coin that should never be exchanged for USD. A coin meant to be used to get coins with.

The list on this one is pretty long, basically any coin from FTC forward.

JokeCoin: A Coin that is so hard to mine, that no one will want to do it.

Bitbar. With a generous payout of .00001 per block and 520, or 5200... 52000 confirmations to get paid, you can order a real bar of gold delivered across country by horse and receive it before any bitbar shows up in your wallet.

Lol,

1. You have a wildly skewed view of Devcoin.
It's definitely NOT meant to teach people about coins, it is meant to support developers. I am a writer on Devtome and have been doing tons of stuff with the people in the devcoin community.
Their goal is NOT to be some form of "test coin" in any way.

2. Just because a coin is not available on any exchanges, does not mean that it was never meant to be traded for money.

3. Bitbar does actually seem like "joke coin". Is it valuable, or does no one use it?

:D exactly. Just find yourself a variation you like the best!

It's the most valuable alt by far, and it shows up at the top of the profitability charts at times, but by the time your BB confirms it's usually fallen in price to the point where you'd have been better off sticking with LTC. And the liquidity sucks.

Here are just some random coin ideas, because I am a medical patient in Colorado, so I am being inspired right now

USA Coin- 50% of the coin goes to miners, 50% goes to paying off the huge national debt

Economy Coin- 50% of the coin goes to miners, 50% goes to trading for American dollars. The goal is to eventually constantly buy American dollars above value to stimulate the economy. Other countries could use it for the same purpose.

Charity Coin- 75% of the coins go to the company that made it, and the company gives out free mining machines once they start making money

Patient Coin- A coin whose value is measured in hash instead of dollars or Bitcoins

That's crazy. It shouldn't take so long to get to your wallet.

EDCoin- The coin meant to be mined by the computers in school libraries to help fund the education of our planet (since people know schools are mining them, they will be willing to buy coins for no reason except to help schools)

[GSnak]

Wow, these are all great ideas!

[FinShaggy]

Wow, these are all great ideas!

Is that sarcasm? lol

I feel like I might as well give away the fourth idea now that I said all those other random ones. I won't give away the name or any specifics, but... A time based coin.

Solar Coin- The coin that is working towards making solar powered mining machines.

Fin, you're all fantasy and zero understanding. Maybe you should read up a little bit about how coins work and more importantly : what gives them value. You are undermining your reputation as DVC advocate and therefore DVC itself by posting this naive notions.

I've done plenty of reading, and you seem to be the one that doesn't understand. Or have some kind of shit seeking filter on simply because it is me posting.

Lol, I'm not undermining SHIT. My "reputation" comes from threads like this. And once I get paid and start giving out free shit, and eventually make my own coin in like a year or two, this will work to do nothing but give me a better "reputation".

And I don't see why you have such a big problem with discussion of possible alt coins. I think there should be MORE discussions like this so that maybe someone can accidentally suggest the perfect coin.

[FinShaggy]

And just BTW, I am searching for people that would be interested in making any one of these real.

Testcoin -> Why not just use Bitcoin Testnet? We are already mining, it's more secure then any other alt-coin and everyone with bitcoin already has it. The difficulty has already jumped after the conference as the many people were talking about it.

What is Bitcoin testnet? It's an alt coin?
I don't want to mine a difficult test coin, the test coin should be constantly simple to train people how to mine/trade.
