TestCoin, CoinCoin & JokeCoin

[twobits]

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.

Problem is, if enough actually mine it, it will either no longer be easy to mine, or generate lots of orphans.

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

I actually have a coin concept ready to go similar to this,but with a better name.   Just does not seem a good time to be launching coins at all.

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

Well bitcoin is pretty hard to mine these days.

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.

OK, my tone was a bit to harsh. sorry.

All your ideas have been used and talked about to death already.

It's naive because coins are already easy to mine.

It's naive to make a coin that isn't supposed to be exchanged for fiat.

It's naive to make a coin just for a test. Test net is for that. People WILL try to get real money for it. They have even tried that with testnet coins.

You have a 1000 posts but maybe you should read a bit....

Couldn't you make it where the difficulty remained constant. Like no rounds, just one giant round of mining?

Let me know when you launch it, I'll help

True shit, Bitcoin is hard.

You have a 1000 posts but dont know the basics.

Coins may be "easy" to mine, but there is no coin that releases so many coins that it can never pass the faucet stage.

It is not naïve to make a coin that isn't exchangeable for money. The other guy said he's doing it already and it's perfect for people who NEVER want to pay taxes again.

I don't care if people try to get real money for it, it is the actual mission of the coin itself that matters.

I know the basics, and I'm even pretty good at dealing with the Bittrolls (like yourself, coming in bias and unwilling to communicate because you already "talked about it too much with other people")

I'm not sure how you go about making a coin that can't be sold.

[FinShaggy]

I'm not sure how you go about making a coin that can't be sold.

It can be sold. But only for other coins.
And the way you do it is by making threads saying you want to buy Coin Coins in exchange for DVC or BTC, and eventually an exchange that has no "real world" currencies.

A project under the name "JokeCoin" is already something I've been fiddling around with and plan to release something relatively soon. The source code is done as of yesterday, and I just need to start a genesis block and make an announcement.


It's rather different from your idea though. But I felt that needed to be mentioned.

[twobits]

Hence the 'or generate lots of orphans' which is what happens if you hold difficulty too low.

What are orphans in terms of mining?

So you make "UnFiatCoin" that can't be exchanged for fiat. Someone starts UFCexchange.com where anyone can deposit dollars and euros and UnFiatCoin. People begin trading dollars for UnFiatCoin. Your plan is foiled.

Take 10 minutes and read the blog...everything is outlined there and I'd hate to repeat myself unnecessarily...

Yep. Do it! We have every other kind of coin imaginable, but they're all limited to this puny craphole planet. Time to take it to the next step and make this one a reality. It needs to be blazin fast, but with fewer coins than BTC. This will ensure maxium value when the entire solar system starts using it in the future, including those water dwellers in Europa. Hell, might as well design some type of client that utilizes a quantum entanglement capable thumb drive to communicate instantly with other clients which would otherwise be unable to communicate in real time to due relativistic communication speed constraints. INSTANT & secure confirmation time, anywhere. Literally. Huge coin improvement. 

SLC - FTW!!!!

No it's not. You should learn to read.
I already said, it doesn't matter what people ACTUALLY do with it, it is the mission that matters. And with a UnFiat mission, most of the trading will be done p2p, or for other coins on exchanges.

I just did and it's a bunch of stuff about porn coins, boob coins and quickies.

Ah my bad. I'm used to it mattering if the intended goal is achieved. This thread makes a whole lot more sense now.

Seed Coin:
I am going to have thousands of seeds soon from a few different species of plants.
I want to make a coin that has no dollar value, but has multiple exchange rates listed in seed.

You are horrible at reading.
Just because A FEW people go off track, does not alter the goal of the coin.
Ex: The Silk Road does not DEFINE BTC users

And people have a hard enough time accepting Bitcoin, you think people are gonna trade a coin that has no dollar value for money on the regular?

If you scrolled down or clicked on the post entitled "The Purpose of this Blog", all would have been made clear. TL;DR: Establish a bunch of altcoin chains poking fun at other cryptocoins.


Unfortunately, since life's thrown a few curveballs my way, I haven't had the time to update anything on this project for almost a month

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

THIS +1 and where might I exchange my coins for hash?
